As we increasingly rely on technology to do our jobs & stay connected, the importance of strong connectivity has been highlighted. @FCC’s move to make more spectrum available for unlicensed use will help advance services vital to rural America like telehealth & precision ag. — PolitiTweet.org

Effective and widely available testing is going to be one of the keys to winning the fight against #COVID19. I support investing in additional manufacturing & looking into innovative ways to develop and administer tests across the country ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

South Dakotans love our state, & a lot of that love is for the natural beauty of our land. SD is leading the way in clean energy like wind & hydropower (~70% of SD energy generation) +biofuels. We can support clean energy WHILE boosting our economy – not crippling it. #EarthDay50 https://t.co/oUfc1EbHY4 — PolitiTweet.org

Hey, parents - For the past few weeks, I’ve been posting lesson plan videos about the federal government. So, if you’ve recently added the job of “teacher” to your plate as your kids are home from school, check out this week’s lesson on Senate committees. https://t.co/ZSfhdRf8ih — PolitiTweet.org

Additional #PPP funding has finally passed the Senate. After Dems delayed funding for nearly a week & openly put politics ahead of workers, they've changed course & supported this #SmallBizRelief program. Now, this program is one step closer to helping more #SmallBiz stay afloat. — PolitiTweet.org

TOMORROW I’ll be hosting a LIVE tele-town hall to hear from South Dakotans, discuss #COVID19, and answer questions. Click here to participate: https://t.co/WoY4SDboFc Details 👇🏻 https://t.co/2sRxdDJanQ — PolitiTweet.org

Here's some trivia for you, @RyanDeal_DR. Can you name the washed-up athletes pictured in this photo from their DWU basketball recruiting visit in '79? https://t.co/a73RCPYPnu — PolitiTweet.org

@RyanDeal_DR Agree on Draper. In the Three Rivers Conference days, the old White River gym. Crackerbox. Packed house, hard core fans. Always loud, especially against Murdo. — PolitiTweet.org

Question: What’s one way the world can hold China accountable for its role in spreading the #COVID19 pandemic? Answer: By keeping Huawei equipment out of the world’s 5G networks. “There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers.” Ronald Reagan — PolitiTweet.org

It’s crazy to me that Washington Democrats are playing politics with Americans’ lives. This is a crisis, and we need to put the fire out. https://t.co/sQgBz0Y5Mu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

By blocking relief for Main Street, Democrats are behaving as they always do in circumstances like this one: hijacking the process to get other items included. Meanwhile, many #smallbiz are hanging on by a thread. Every day of delay means lost jobs. https://t.co/68CC6bR1qs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

#China has been spreading misinformation about #COVID19 from day one. This should be a wakeup call to the world about how China operates: a complete lack of transparency and censorship of facts. This is going to take an international response to hold them accountable. https://t.co/pFvKHZKM2r — PolitiTweet.org

I wish so many American workers & #SmallBusinesses didn’t need to use the #PaycheckProtectionProgram, but in these challenging times, it has been a lifeline for many Americans. The fact that #PPP ran out of funding this quickly shows just how much folks are relying on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The #PaycheckProtectionProgram is a lifeline for America’s small businesses, and Dems are cutting the rope. https://t.co/NY5sHXmbJ7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The #PPP is out of money. There’s a simple fix. Congress could increase funds allowing @SBAgov to reopen this program. It should be an easy vote. I hope Dems don’t force America’s small biz & their employees to endure more anxiety & uncertainty than they’re already feeling. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m having bad déjà vu. Was this really only three weeks ago? And now we’re back here *again* with Democrats blocking relief during a #GlobalPandemic. This isn’t an abstract policy debate – these are peoples’ jobs and Americans’ livelihoods. That’s what we’re trying to protect. — PolitiTweet.org

22 million Americans have filed for unemployment since the #CoronavirusOutbreak hit our country. Hopefully, this serves as a stark wake-up call for Democrats who are standing in the way of additional funding for a program that’s helping save jobs & keep small businesses open. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

This never needed to happen. @SenateGOP was ready to approve more relief funds last week — Dems stepped in to block. *Once again* Dems are holding important relief hostage to push other items. Small businesses are the backbone of our country, & right now they need our help. https://t.co/9Op5PQj96W — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

#PPP is running out of money because so many people depend on it. It’s helped small biz across the country & kept millions of Americans employed. All we have to do is add funding. That should be a simple vote. But Dems are objecting & trying to push other items. We must act now. https://t.co/23EHNI9bYp — PolitiTweet.org

IMPORTANT info for small biz using #PaycheckProtectionProgram loans ➡️ make sure you’re keeping detailed records of how you’re spending relief funds so you receive the correct amount of loan forgiveness. I.E. if you're using loans to pay workers & keep them employed - record it. — PolitiTweet.org
