I enjoyed catching up with my longtime friend and former Senator Abdnor staffer, Carol Twedt, and her son today. They stopped by on behalf of @IJM, a great organization that is working to combat violence against women & children in Central America. https://t.co/T2xQSxxni5 — PolitiTweet.org

…their bill, which will limit access to lifesaving drugs, has no chance of becoming law. Yet, they choose to pursue their socialist agenda instead of working with us on legislation that could pass. Another frustrating example of Dems prioritizing politics in Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

There’s no question that we need to find solutions to drive down prescription drug costs. Earlier this year, House committees advanced #bipartisan drug pricing legislation, but now Democrats are abandoning #bipartisanship and pushing their own partisan bill. They know that… — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans have implemented policies to encourage businesses to hire American workers — resulting in the creation of over 500,000 manufacturing jobs. But some SD manufacturers are struggling to find workers to fill these jobs – that’s where tech colleges can play a role. https://t.co/UxXls26BHG — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to having you in South Dakota for the #DakotaMarker game. Maybe you could make this an annual trip? #GoJacks ⁦⁦https://t.co/GpRHYMyJrd — PolitiTweet.org

Farmers & ranchers had some good news on the trade front in recent weeks with the signing of a trade deal with Japan, but we still have more work to do to expand markets. We should start by passing #USMCA. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Hall of Fame Ag staffer Lynn Tjeerdsma for hosting us at his @bijouhills farm for S.D.’s 101st pheasant opener. #pheasantsfreefallin #hifromSD #65andsunny https://t.co/rOLxHlaQoE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

One of the biggest challenges facing farmers on the trade front right now is uncertainty about what world markets will look like going forward. #USMCA will give farmers & ranchers clarity about our trade future with two key trading partners. It’s past time to pass #USMCA. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Spoke to this year's class of Leadership South Dakota in Brookings today and answered questions on topics from 5G to energy policy. It was a great event – thank you for having me. https://t.co/Ja9WHNzjRN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Fall is synonymous with one thing for South Dakotans: pheasant hunting season. So much so that the 3rd Saturday in October could be considered an unofficial holiday. This is a tradition we're proud of and one I’m thrilled to participate in every year. Be safe out there, hunters. https://t.co/oTbfaXjpuz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

#USMCA will benefit almost every sector of our economy, create over 175,000 jobs, and raise wages for workers. So, why hasn’t Congress passed this agreement yet? By law, the House has to take it up first, and they've unfortunately been more focused on partisan politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Great mtg with newly confirmed @SecAFOfficial Barbara Barrett. We talked about the importance of Ellsworth AFB, preparing for the B-21 & expanding training opportunities, and strengthening the sense of community within the USAF. https://t.co/XpyexT4EYW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Very interesting meeting with Kelvin Adee from Adee Honey Farms. Like many business leaders I speak with, one of his main challenges is finding workers. I also snuck in my story about spilling a bucket of honey in the trunk of my dad’s car… not an easy mess to clean up. https://t.co/J5yRsSrnsF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Had a good conversation w/ CMS Administrator Seema Verma. We discussed @CMSGov priorities & I emphasized a number of health care issues that impact South Dakota and rural providers. https://t.co/SP3tyieVEd — PolitiTweet.org

I was proud to present Richard Johnson with a Purple Heart medal at the @DAVHQ in Sioux Falls. Dick was inducted into the Army in 1966 and was wounded in action less than a year later while fighting in Vietnam. It was great to meet him and his family. I thank him for his service. https://t.co/HkH43D81DF — PolitiTweet.org

This lucky 4th grade class at Washington Elementary School in Huron is taught by Mrs. Boomsma, who was named the 2019 SD Teacher of the Year. They had very impressive questions for me. Happy to see these young South Dakotans getting such an exemplary education. https://t.co/XvVsG7RiK3 — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed having lunch and taking questions at the Wessington Springs Area Community Club meeting this afternoon. We discussed a variety of issues affecting South Dakotans — including my bill, the #TracedAct, which will help combat irritating robocalls. https://t.co/ueihoKuehk — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to have @POETbiofuels as a South Dakota company. They are doing great things in the clean energy space.
