Sen. John Thune
May 19, 2020
Tweet - "The @SenateGOP has been busy in DC with: -Cmte oversight on #COVID19 -Key nominations -Critical national security bill +++ What have House Dems been doing? Show up for 24 hours, vote on a $3 trillion messaging bill, unilaterally change historic voting rules, & then leave town."
Sen. John Thune
May 19, 2020

Sen. John Thune
May 19, 2020
Tweet - "I've been urging the @USDA to get this assistance out to our producers. During this crisis, many Americans have come face-to-face with the reality that food doesn't come from the grocery store shelf -- it comes from the tireless work of farmers & ranchers. #FarmersFeedTheWorld"

May 15, 2020
Tweet - "I have so much faith in America's ability to innovate and create. Personal computers, email, smartphones, MRI, hearing aids, cardiac defibrillators, the list goes on. American inventions that have changed the world. We should all be rooting for Operation Warp Speed."

Sen. John Thune
May 14, 2020
