Great thread. Proud of all the Sioux Falls reporters and their teams for their dedication to getting the public the information they needed even in scary and dangerous circumstances. A testament to the value of local journalism. #SiouxFalls — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting AEI chart based on this week’s Census report that shows the percentage of middle- and low-income Americans is shrinking “because they are moving up.” The full article: https://t.co/N5RxlbWBHL https://t.co/k658eDW2va — PolitiTweet.org

My staff and I are monitoring the heavy flooding going on in eastern South Dakota. I know South Dakotans are resilient, and this definitely isn't the first time we've experienced tough weather, but please proceed with caution. — PolitiTweet.org

Sat down with representatives from the South Dakota Chamber of Commerce this week to talk about everything from 5G to what our strong economy means for workforce availability. Thankful for the work they do. https://t.co/0BfA0Og0gE — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to the folks from @GrowthEnergy for presenting me with the Fueling Growth Award, which recognizes legislators who strongly support the biofuel industry. Biofuels and the ag jobs & communities they support will continue to be a priority for me & for many S.D. producers. https://t.co/xB33nYJoFp — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I shared some of my dad’s many stories about “the golden age of railroads” with the folks from @ASLRRA. Railroads have been reliably carrying people & freight for over 100 years and will continue to do so for many more. https://t.co/7HtaiugYA1 — PolitiTweet.org

Humbling to address today’s commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the first recorded arrival of slaves to the U.S. There is no undoing the sins of our past, but remembering them is an opportunity to rededicate ourselves to that new birth of freedom of which Lincoln spoke. https://t.co/iztpLhR26K — PolitiTweet.org

Humbling to address today’s commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the forced arrival of slaves to the United States.

Met with the Spearfish Mayor @DanaBokeSPF and Michael Harmon to get an update on their project to develop a cross-wind runway in Spearfish. They are working hard to promote infrastructure investment in their community. https://t.co/ecAqbIKIj8 — PolitiTweet.org

SD has lost a legend. So sorry to hear of the passing of Claude Hone, Marine fighter pilot and WW2 hero. Pictured here w my dad at an “old guys and their airplanes” event from September 2015. RIP Claude. #greatestgeneration #100years #SDproud https://t.co/hnHePgiZg4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Sat down with Herreid community leaders at Patsy’s Café to talk about the issues folks care about. Now is an important time when I'm able to travel the state to hear from South Dakotans about their priorities. Lots of work to do once the Senate is back in Washington next week. https://t.co/zNALXWMoG2 — PolitiTweet.org

Visited the Leola School this morning and had a great talk with students about my job as a U.S. senator. I encouraged them to visit Washington to see firsthand my day-to-day work and how our government functions. https://t.co/AN03kt4npS — PolitiTweet.org

Good discussion at my field hearing on expanding broadband connectivity to rural areas. There are some amazing advancements being made in precision ag, & broadband is a big part of bringing along this revolutionary tech — not to mention the benefits to health, education, and biz. https://t.co/ywpeUrn5wM — PolitiTweet.org

Met with the folks at @SDSMA today where we discussed surprise billing & rising prescription drug prices. These issues affect Americans’ day-to-day lives, and they need to be addressed. Republicans are working to find solutions that make real progress w/o harming quality of care. https://t.co/WSyYts1Lnf — PolitiTweet.org

Had a great time at the @SiouxFallsYPN roundtable for their Young Professional Network. Moderator Megan Myers has done a great job with this event.
