There’s not a day that goes by that I don't think about my dad and his service to the nation in WWII. That is especially true this year – my first Veterans Day without him. He instilled in me & my siblings a deep pride for our nation’s veterans. We owe them so much. #VeteransDay https://t.co/5WS7qBTobx — PolitiTweet.org

Even Dems themselves are acknowledging the election was a rejection of the radical left agenda. They shrunk their House majority, lost races they were predicted to win, & didn’t grasp the Senate majority on election night. I genuinely hope Dems reflect & start working with us. https://t.co/5rSz5bnXbL — PolitiTweet.org

I am honored that my Republican colleagues have once again elected me to serve as the whip. Serving South Dakotans is my top priority, and this role helps me continue to advance South Dakota’s priorities and be a strong voice for rural America in Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Birthday to my favorite state in the union. I am so grateful to call South Dakota home. https://t.co/7pQcXcGhzu — PolitiTweet.org

Just look at big tech’s public statements, geographic concentration, & employee political donations (normally 80-90% Dem), and it’s clear why there's mistrust among Republican users. It’s baffling how tech CEOs don’t see this absence of ideological diversity as problematic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I asked Mr. Zuckerberg & Mr. Dorsey to provide a complete list of the newspaper articles their companies have suppressed or limited the distribution of over the past five years + an explanation of why they suppressed each article. These companies owe Americans more transparency. https://t.co/drfegdh6VR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Due to big tech’s secrecy around content moderation practices, it’s impossible to know for sure if political bias exists, but recent examples of content suppression certainly seem to suggest that it does. Big tech’s "explanations" for these examples too often seem like excuses. https://t.co/Z6B4P7NIXt — PolitiTweet.org

Appreciate @Jack working on an idea that was generated from Stephen Wolfram’s testimony at a hearing I convened on algorithm transparency in June 2019. “Algorithmic choice” is an idea worth exploring. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The Facebook employee who is in charge of election integrity on the platform is a former Biden staffer. And, according to Mr. Zuckerberg, he isn’t even aware of it. Is there someone to balance this ideology in a similar election integrity role at his company? **crickets** — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

My question: Are Silicon Valley CEOs the legitimate referees of what kind of political speech gets amplified or suppressed? Zuckerberg: I certainly think not, I do not want us to have that role @Jack: No To underscore: tech companies are not the referees over our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The CEOs of @Facebook, @Twitter, and @Google should be ready for some tough questions at the @SenateCommerce hearing today. There needs to be more transparency from big tech on how they decide what content they suppress or promote. https://t.co/BJaRE43bcR — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow I’ll be questioning leaders of the big tech industry about their online content moderation practices. What would you ask them if you had the opportunity? — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Barrett’s intelligence, knowledge, and judicial temperament have been on display since day one of her confirmation processes. She’s proven beyond doubt that she's qualified to serve on our nation’s highest court. I look forward to seeing her become Justice Barrett soon. https://t.co/7tExFyU0RF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Confirmed 👏👏 Since the day she was nominated, Judge Barrett has shown extraordinary intelligence & command of the law. On top of that, she knows that the role of a judge is to be an impartial interpreter of the law – not a policymaker. Congrats, soon-to-be Justice Barrett. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Democrats spent this weekend trying to delay the #SCOTUS vote –unsuccessfully, I might add, and with no dispute over Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s obvious qualifications. The Senate will perform its constitutional duty today & Democrats can't stop that. https://t.co/5OuxCg5N2h — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

One of the main reasons many Republicans ran for the Senate was to be in a position to restore the Supreme Court to its original constitutional purpose as a judicial body, not a legislative one. We ran for this. We were elected for this. Today, we will follow through. https://t.co/0zCBPn2ejY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Democrats’ attempted delay antics over the last seven-plus days were absurd. After they voted to block COVID relief multiple times & tried to adjourn the Senate entirely, Dems suddenly brought up a completely unrealistic “relief” bill to delay the #SCOTUS vote. Pure theatrics. https://t.co/jH2PBJ1jOb — PolitiTweet.org
