Sept. 27, 2021
Tweet - "There is a crisis at our southern border, and the president has still not visited to see it with his own eyes -- or made any substantive changes to stop the stream of migrants coming to our border. Enough is enough. The administration must act."
Sen. John Thune

Vote on Bianchi Nomination
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021

Vote on Pan Nomination
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021
Tweet - "It's obvious that Dems believe Washington elites know what's best for everyone -- even South Dakotans. They're pushing for a federal takeover of states' authority -- telling them how to hold elections -- and forcing their liberal views on abortion laws and immunization requirements."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021
Tweet - "Answer: The same party that's trying to add trillions of dollars to the debt with more partisan spending."

Cloture Motion
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021
Tweet - "The current beef labeling system in this country allows imported beef that is neither born nor raised in the U.S., but simply finished here, to be labeled as a product of the U.S.A. This process is unfair to cattle producers and misleading for consumers."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021
Tweet - "Shocking reality of Democrats' reckless tax-&-spending spree: Their proposed corporate tax rate would be higher than communist China. That's certainly not going to help the United States be competitive on a global stage. It would be a huge disadvantage for American businesses."

Vote on Batchelder Nomination
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats seem to have forgotten that the states created the federal government, not the other way around. South Dakotans don't want Washington elites -- who may have never stepped foot in our state -- to be writing our election laws. Plain and simple."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021
Tweet - "Inflation is near a 13-year high, Americans are worrying about if their paychecks can stretch to cover the higher prices they're facing, and Democrats want to spend $3.5 trillion more Dumping that much money into the economy is pretty much guaranteed to fuel higher inflation."

Vote on White Nomination
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021
Tweet - "The entire federal budget was less than $4.5 trillion in 2019. Democrats want to spend $3.5T on one bill. This reckless spending isn't meant to address the crises piling up under Pres. Biden's watch. It's the express lane to socialism liberals have been dreaming of for years."

Rounds, Crapo, Colleagues Introduce Bill to Protect Taxpayer Rights and Privacy
Sen. Mike Rounds
Sept. 15, 2021
Tweet - "Grocery store beef that's labeled "Made in the USA" may actually come from cattle raised in a foreign country like Mexico. This label is dishonest to consumers & unfair to American cattle producers who actually raise U.S. beef. I have a bill to help fix this."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 15, 2021
Tweet - "Simple economic concept at work here: If you flood the economy with government spending, the price of goods goes up. For all their talk about helping hardworking Americans, Dems' economic policies are making these workers' lives more difficult."
