Great news! We have all been praying for Jean. — PolitiTweet.org

On #MemorialDay2020, we remember the Americans who have sacrificed for our freedom. We honor them for selflessly putting our nation's safety above their own. I am so thankful for our military and their families & all those who have served so that we may live freely in the #USA. https://t.co/5C4F6SNGlw — PolitiTweet.org

The @nytimes thinks this is the end of meat… They should visit SD, try our high-quality meat products, & get to know the South Dakotans who work hard every day to help feed the world. Step out of their bubble. https://t.co/2WmMQh6zti — PolitiTweet.org

A reminder to my colleagues: Every dollar we spend is borrowed from our children & grandchildren. Haven’t we all heard that money doesn’t appear out of thin air? We had a crisis. We had to put out a fire. But let's not rush to spend & borrow more before examining what's needed. https://t.co/LHZ7C1gajV — PolitiTweet.org

How to Quickly Explode the Debt 101: Spend trillions of borrowed dollars ➡️ don’t take time to see what is/is not working to help the country ➡️ rashly spend 3 trillion more (and be sure to sneak in unrelated agenda items). I think Democrats are teaching the class. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Wouldn’t it be logical, wouldn’t it be prudent, wouldn’t it be rational for the Senate, the custodians, the stewards of the American people’s tax dollars, to take a hard look at what is & what’s not working before rushing headlong into spending another three $3 trillion dollars? https://t.co/RAXfDQc01K — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Rebuilding our economy isn't going to happen overnight. But we’re starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. That’s a welcome sight to a lot of Americans – small businesses, workers, people who've been unemployed. I'm hopeful we'll start to see improvement later this year. https://t.co/ZYQiNLGuDv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I’ve been urging the @USDA to get this assistance out to our producers. During this crisis, many Americans have come face-to-face with the reality that food doesn’t come from the grocery store shelf – it comes from the tireless work of farmers & ranchers. #FarmersFeedTheWorld — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

It’s disappointing that Democrats are more focused on their left-wing pet projects than addressing the #COVID19 pandemic and its consequences. But that will not stop the Republican-led Senate from moving forward with the business of the American people. https://t.co/sCZCAjFd5X — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The @SenateGOP has been busy in DC with: -Cmte oversight on #COVID19 -Key nominations -Critical national security bill +++ What have House Dems been doing? Show up for 24 hours, vote on a $3 trillion messaging bill, unilaterally change historic voting rules, & then leave town. https://t.co/llj7MZTJVL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I’ll be on @keloland with @SenatorRounds & @RepDustyJohnson tonight to answer questions and give an update on the federal government’s #COVID19 response. Tune in 📺 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

This global pandemic will take a global response, but China’s public-facing acts – which it hopes will reverse focus on its initial negligence & mishandling of the #COVID19 outbreak – run counter to China’s suspected hacking to steal vaccine research. https://t.co/2TAC6DgJV4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The country is in a crisis & Dems seem focused on the same agenda they’ve had for years. How about we look for ways to help our country fight this pandemic & reopen safely. NO amount of federal spending can substitute for a healthy, dynamic economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

One more time for @HouseDemocrats in the back: This bill will not pass the Senate. It shouldn’t pass. Look what’s in it: - Taxpayer $$ for illegal immigrants - Tells states how to handle their elections - 68 mentions of “cannabis” What does any of that have to do with #COVID19? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Meanwhile, House Dem leadership is bringing back members to vote on an 1815-page Dem fantasy bill that would cost an additional $3 TRILLION & is chock-full of left-wing wish-list items unrelated to#COVID19. How bad is the bill? Even members of their own party are skeptical. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

We brought the Senate back to Washington to look at serious items and spent the last two weeks at work: hearing from experts on #COVID19, passing critical national security legislation, & monitoring the effectiveness of relief efforts already being implemented. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I have so much faith in America’s ability to innovate and create. Personal computers, email, smartphones, MRI, hearing aids, cardiac defibrillators, the list goes on. American inventions that have changed the world. We should all be rooting for Operation Warp Speed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

This rule change will help seasonal businesses with a #PPP loan recalculate average monthly payroll using a more favorable window for purposes of determining their loan award. I advocated for this common-sense change in a letter to @UStreasury last month. https://t.co/ud70gBG7Kh https://t.co/YUnfrhGNqH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Chinese disinformation/censorship is not unique to #COVID19. For years, communist #China has sought to hide the detention of #Uyghur & other minorities in #Xinjiang. Thanks for leading this effort for human rights & religious freedom, @marcorubio. Glad to support. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

To all graduating seniors – I want you to know I feel your pain and appreciate what you guys are having to go through. I know you won’t have the graduation you imagined. As hard as this is, adversity will make you stronger. Since you may not have a graduation speaker this year 👇🏻 https://t.co/HkUeK3BTSk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Spoke with @hughhewitt about a viable #Phase4 #COVID19 relief bill. I told him that anything that passes the Senate has to be #bipartisan, but, sadly, it’s hard to find any moderate Dem to sit down with because they’re so held hostage to the House agenda. https://t.co/u9r1d51Kla — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Was on the air with @hughhewitt this AM. We spoke about House Dems’ massive new spending package that’s really a grab bag of Dem agenda items disguised as #COVID19 relief. As was said, it mentions cannabis more times than it mentions jobs. Nobody is taking it seriously. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Republicans will stand firm & pursue liability protections for Americans at the front line of the #COVID response/reopening. This is about protecting doctors, hospitals, schools, mom and pop restaurants – people who are living in fear of being frivolously sued. — PolitiTweet.org

In South Dakota and across our great country, police officers put themselves in harm's way each and every day to protect us. We thank them, and we honor & remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep others safe. #NationalPoliceWeek https://t.co/dsS6KmcsE3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

America relies on our truckers to move food & other vital goods across our country. Drivers need more flexibility to safely operate their vehicles in interstate commerce. I’ve advocated for this rule change since I was chairman of @SenateCommerce. Thanks, @USDOT & @SecElaineChao. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I believe American consumers have the right to know where the beef they purchase comes from. Especially during these uncertain times, the least we can do for ranchers & consumers is to provide them with the benefit of seeing ‘made in the USA’ labels on grocery store shelves. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Just left a @SenateCommerce hearing on broadband during #COVID19. It’s clear that access to reliable internet services is a key part of what’s kept our society turning during this crisis (i.e. distance learning for students, teleworking, and essential telehealth services). https://t.co/DtbByoA73G — PolitiTweet.org
