Politician
July 31, 2020
Tweet - "Democrats voting against extending benefits for unemployed Americans just to spite Republicans might be a new low. And remember, these funds were passed *unanimously* in March."
Sen. John Thune
July 31, 2020
The Work Goes On
Sen. John Thune
July 31, 2020
The Patient Got the Win This Week
Rep. Dusty Johnson
July 30, 2020
Tweet - "In March, Republicans & Democrats unanimously supported an additional layer of UI benefits that are set to expire tomorrow. Today, Republicans tried, in good faith, to provide additional funds to unemployed Americans before they expire and zero out. Democrats objected."
Sen. John Thune
July 30, 2020
Tweet - "Countries shouldn't be able to "own" generic food names like parmesan & feta. This puts made-in-America products at a disadvantage. That's why 50+ of my colleagues joined my letter to @USTradeRep & @SecretarySonny urging them to prioritize this issue in trade negotiations."
Sen. John Thune
July 30, 2020
Tweet - "No, these aren't magic beans. If you randomly receive seeds in the mail, contact the @SDAgriculture (https://sdda.sd.gov). Do not open, plant, or discard the seeds, and keep the packing intact."
Sen. John Thune
July 30, 2020
Tweet - "Anyone who knows me knows that I love sports -- especially basketball. Sports instill important values like respect, work ethic, & sportsmanship. Pro leagues should uphold such ideals, not echo the human rights abuses of China's communist government."
Sen. John Thune
July 30, 2020
Rep. Johnson Announces Congressional App Challenge
Rep. Dusty Johnson
July 30, 2020
Tweet - "There's only one way we're going to make progress on the next round of COVID relief: Democrats must come to the table in a serious way. @SenateGOP wants to help, but piling an additional $3 TRILLION onto the national debt, as Dems have suggested, is a totally unserious proposal."

Sen. Mike Rounds, ...
July 29, 2020
Tweet - "It makes no sense to most South Dakotans why a t-shirt they wear can say "made in country x" but often the beef we eat cannot. Americans would like to know where in the world their beef is coming from, yet the @WTO continues to rule against country-of-origin labeling for beef."
Sen. John Thune
July 29, 2020
Tweet - "Big tech has a strong incentive to exercise control over the content on their sites. They use sophisticated content moderation tools & algorithms to shape the content we see, and yet we're given little or no info on how that information we see has been shaped & censored."
Sen. John Thune
July 29, 2020
Tweet - "The internet of 1996 is a far cry from the internet of 2020, and it's important to re-evaluate 1996's Section 230 internet protections within today's context. My #PACTAct would enable greater transparency for users w/o damaging the entrepreneurial benefits of current protections."
Sen. John Thune
July 29, 2020
Tweet - "Coronavirus has turned lives upside down. People who are now working remotely in a different state than their office and medical professionals who traveled to help fight #COVID19 should NOT be subject to higher & more complicated tax bills. My proposal "

Remote and Mobile Worker Relief Act
Sen. John Thune
July 28, 2020
Tweet - "For years, internet platforms concealed how they monitor & curate content -- in part to sustain the fiction of being a "neutral platform" for all ideas. To this day, content moderation is largely a black box spurring suspicion of bias & discrimination."
Sen. John Thune
July 28, 2020
Tweet - "If Dems want to play a productive role in the next phase of COVID relief, we have a good place to start w/ our targeted HEALS Act. The House bill, which would cost $3 TRILLION+, is chock-full of liberal agenda items, fiscally irresponsible, & will not be considered in the Senate."
Sen. John Thune
July 28, 2020
Tweet - "SCAM WARNING: If the @SDDOH contacts you about potential #COVID19 exposure, they will NEVER ask for credit card info or money. If you are asked for this info or asked to pay anything, it is a scam. It's sad to see scammers taking advantage of this crisis."
Sen. John Thune

Sen. John Thune
July 28, 2020
Tweet - "Sweeping protections for large tech companies under Section 230 have meant that -- with very few exceptions -- internet platforms are not held responsible for the comments, pictures, & videos that their users post -- no matter how harmful. It's time to re-examine these protections."
