Our nation’s farmers & ranchers depend on trade, but right now they are facing a lot of uncertainty. #USMCA would preserve and expand farmers’ access to Canada & Mexico – our #1 and #2 export markets for American ag products – and give certainty about these markets long-term. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans are feeling encouraged about the economy: “We’ve doubled our 401(k), and we’ve actually started traveling more because there is more income.” https://t.co/9cPK3c28Up — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed talking with @NiemanMidcoSN about my #PHITAct, which would allow you to use pre-tax dollars on exercise-related expenses, for @MidcoSN’s next episode of “Benchwarmers.” Of course, sports and the high level of talent in S.D. college hoops also came up. https://t.co/Nc70ndhpet — PolitiTweet.org

Met with @SoutheastTechSD President Robert Griggs to talk about America’s race to 5G & the school’s new academic program to prepare graduating students to enter the wireless telecommunications industry.

Met with Scott & Michelle VanderWal, from @SDFarmBureau & @FarmBureau. Talked about the importance of getting #USMCA through Congress ASAP. #USMCA would mean: ✔️ New and expanded markets for farmers & ranchers ✔️ 176,000 new jobs across U.S. ✔️ $68+ billion in new economic growth https://t.co/gOLILIbIM4 — PolitiTweet.org

June marked the: · 16th straight month that unemployment has been at or below 4% · 11th straight month that wage growth has been at or above 3% Thanks to #GOPTaxCuts & other Republican economic policies, American workers are doing better than they have in a long time. https://t.co/b9FIVRYxCl — PolitiTweet.org

Met with Denny Law who runs Golden West Telecommunications, the first company to put up telephone lines in rural S.D. Golden West continues to do a great job making sure S.D. has high-quality telecom services.

It’s always great to meet with the young men and women from South Dakota who are visiting the Capitol. I’m always impressed with their questions. https://t.co/Xxl5LIFseU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

It’s getting harder and harder for Democrats to dance around the evidence that #GOPTaxCuts & @POTUS’s deregulation policies have sent our economy on a great path and given many American workers the boost they’ve needed for a long time. https://t.co/Cw9QQOar14 — PolitiTweet.org

Met some great students from Rapid City and Tripp. Whenever I meet with S.D. students I tell them to consider coming back to D.C. to participate in my intern program to get an inside look at the workings of our government.

“Average hourly earnings for production-level manufacturing workers have grown at an annual rate of 2.8% during the Trump Presidency compared to 1.9% during Barack Obama’s second term.” https://t.co/50QR0ovxy9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

In contrast: “The Trump Administration has for the most part focused on growth. Its policy mix of deregulation and tax reform has unleashed more… job creation that has lifted… wages for the non-affluent “ ➡️ “faster growth and less inequality” — PolitiTweet.org

.@WSJ ed board on how Obama’s econ policies hurt middle class: “near-zero interest rates for eight years... let corporations borrow cheaply while the [Obama] Administration’s punishing regulations bred business uncertainty that depressed investment in human and physical capital.” — PolitiTweet.org

Another example of Dems’ misguided economic policies hurting the middle- and low-income earners they are claiming to help: 👇🏻 Non-partisan CBO says Dems’ plan to raise the minimum wage could mean up to 3.7 million people would lose their job. https://t.co/1dhx0xfFj4 — PolitiTweet.org
