Had a quick cameo in @SocialDilemma_ at our hearing on persuasive tech. Tech platforms treating people as products & sowing polarization has been a concern of mine. @TristanHarris's testimony was shocking. Since then, I’ve intro’d multiple bills on online privacy & transparency. https://t.co/LkqiQIBvrs — PolitiTweet.org

When Dems say “nothing is off the table” if they regain the majority, they mean: -Scrapping protections for the Senate minority put in place by founders -Increasing number of SCOTUS justices (to pack it w/ liberal judges) -Making DC & PR states (in hopes of 2 Dem senators each) — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Some Democrats have gone as far as to say that “nothing is off the table” when it comes to retribution for having a Senate vote on the president’s nominee – a grade school-style threat with constitutional consequences. https://t.co/VWDNtGKQKb — PolitiTweet.org

Speaker Pelosi has withheld vital CCC funding from the House govt funding bill – reneging on the previous bipartisan agreement. This $ would go toward helping American farmers hit hard by the pandemic, feeding children who normally rely on school lunches, & other vital areas. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Despite the Dem-led misinformation campaign, filling this SCOTUS seat follows historical Senate norms. There is a different precedent if you have a divided government (2016) vs. having the same party in control in the WH & Senate (now). In fact, Joe Biden made the distinction. https://t.co/qdud4JJUq8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Many GOP senators – myself included – decided to run for office for this very reason: to be in a position to restore the court to its original constitutional purpose as a judicial body, not a legislative one. We ran for this. We were elected for this. Now, we will follow through. https://t.co/NJd1eA0bJF — PolitiTweet.org

My full statement on the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg below ⬇️.  We didn’t always agree, but RBG was a true patriot who loved this country and dedicated her life to serving the American people and the law. https://t.co/rSKLaxHCun — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I couldn’t agree more. @DepSecSteve is an old friend and colleague of mine and one of the best advocates for the American ag community. We spoke just this morning about providing additional relief funding to farmers & ranchers impacted by #COVID19. I thank him for his service. — PolitiTweet.org

All of the brave men & women who serve our country deserve our fullest gratitude and respect. Extremely thankful for 73 years of incredible flying by @usairforce. SD is proud to be home to Ellsworth AFB and Joe Foss Field, with exciting missions on the horizon. #USAF73 #AFBday — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Good to see this admin supporting American farmers & ranchers. The @USDA announced second round of vital #CFAP $ to help producers hit hard by #COVID19. At the beginning of #COVID19, there was concern over food shortages. We have our f&r to thank for these fears not coming true. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans should have more control over their own personal data. It shouldn't be a mystery how companies collect & use our personal info. @SenatorWicker @SenatorFischer @MarshaBlackburn & I intro'd a bill to increase data transparency.#SAFEDATAAct https://t.co/zmoeIcEYB5 — PolitiTweet.org

What a shameful and unproductive attempt to tear down one of the strongest women leaders in Congress. This kind of ‘commentary’ deserves no place in our political discourse. https://t.co/OpIgSpY2Cs — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats, Rob! I was extremely impressed with your operations growth when I toured your facility in Box Elder last year. Glad to have you and @VrcMetal in South Dakota. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats are already plotting to do away with the filibuster if political roles & majorities reverse. But take a look at what they've been up to in the minority – blocking bills at every turn. 📷 👇🏻 https://t.co/8WQZQQ71n4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The @SenateGOP majority has, at times, been frustrated by the filibuster, but we’ve always respected what it means to the Senate. Now, here we are, defending the rights Dems enjoy in the minority while they’re already talking about rolling them back if they regain the majority. https://t.co/8Lx2ieipF7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Senate Dems recently filibustered: ❌ Relief funding for schools ❌ COVID vaccine funding ❌ Stimulus payments to Americans ❌ Police reform Now, they’re saying they would eliminate the filibuster. This situation stretches the meaning of irony – even by Washington standards. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Fostering stability in the Middle East helps protect America's interests & creates a brighter future for our allies in the region. The Abraham Accords signed today are progress in the name of peace & opportunity. I hope this is one of many future steps. https://t.co/uAiqDyHsET — PolitiTweet.org

Exciting to see the Air Force’s B-21 basing process is continuing to advance. We were proud to have Ellsworth AFB named the best site to host the first main operating base for the Raider. These draft EIS numbers back up that decision. More info: https://t.co/0BXt4RdMsE — PolitiTweet.org

@SteveDaines Great video, @SteveDaines! Montana is certainly a beautiful state. Although, I’m not sure about your DQ order… I always go for a berry blizzard. — PolitiTweet.org

On the anniversary of 9/11, we remember to #NeverForget & continue to honor the legacy set by all the brave Americans who sacrificed that day. There are countless examples of super-human bravery on #September11. This story of #Flight93 is one of the most striking examples👇🏻. https://t.co/QVp2bFeqkc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I hope every American understands what's been happening in Congress w/ #COVID relief funding. Republicans have been trying in earnest to pass a bill; we've offered multiple versions & pursued negotiations. Dems intro’d one spending spree bill & adamantly refused to compromise. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

If Dems really shared Republicans’ urgency to deliver relief to Americans, they'd work w/ us to get a compromise bill through Congress. Yet, they refuse to negotiate. The logical conclusion is that Dems, with eyes on November, would rather have a political issue than pass a bill. https://t.co/Oo1FiT2Pc4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

It's wild to me that Dems just blocked GOP’s bill that would’ve put billions in relief funds toward students, vaccine research, American jobs, & more areas of immediate need. Even if it didn’t contain all the spending Dems want, isn’t targeted relief better than no relief? — PolitiTweet.org

As I informed the @EPA back in June, any so-called “gap SREs” will only worsen challenges for biofuels and our farmers. The administration would be right to fully reject these petitions. https://t.co/LO2nW4raXF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Let’s be clear: The Democrats’ current negotiating position is that unless Congress passes their $3 trillion #COVID spending proposal, they aren't interested in a deal. That's right, Dems think providing Americans with *zero* assistance is better than our targeted bill. https://t.co/C9vC3ViRqL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Here’s a quick update on our latest effort to get vital funding to Americans who are most impacted by the #coronavirus pandemic 👇🏻 We’re focused on areas with the most immediate need: - unemployed Americans - vaccine research - small businesses - testing - students & parents https://t.co/uK68P7IBud — PolitiTweet.org
