Nov. 17, 2020
Tweet - "Yesterday, for the second Monday in a row, we received tremendous news about the prospects for a COVID vaccine. Moderna announced its COVID vaccine is over 90% effective -- raising the possibility that not one but two COVID vaccines may be available in the very near future."
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 17, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans aren't giving up on targeted #COVID relief, but so far Democrats have shown no willingness for compromise. I hope that changes. Republicans will continue to invite our Democrat colleagues to work with us to find a middle ground."
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 17, 2020

Rep. Dusty Johnson
Nov. 12, 2020
Impact Aid Coronavirus Relief Act
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 12, 2020
Tweet - "These are the real consequences of the "defund the police" movement. Liberal-led cities that jumped on the bandwagon & threw their police departments under the bus will be less safe as a result. A step in the wrong direction."
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 12, 2020
President Expected to Sign Thune-Smith Bill to Ease Application Process for the Impact Aid Program During COVID-19 Pandemic
Sen. John Thune, ...
Nov. 11, 2020
Tweet - "There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about my dad and his service to the nation in WWII. That is especially true this year -- my first Veterans Day without him. He instilled in me & my siblings a deep pride for our nation's veterans. We owe them so much. #VeteransDay"
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 10, 2020
Coronavirus
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 10, 2020
Tweet - "I am honored that my Republican colleagues have once again elected me to serve as the whip. Serving South Dakotans is my top priority, and this role helps me continue to advance South Dakota's priorities and be a strong voice for rural America in Washington."
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 10, 2020
Tweet - "Even Dems themselves are acknowledging the election was a rejection of the radical left agenda. They shrunk their House majority, lost races they were predicted to win, & didn't grasp the Senate majority on election night. I genuinely hope Dems reflect & start working with us."
Sen. John Thune

Angels in Adoption
Rep. Dusty Johnson
Nov. 6, 2020
Tweet - "In Aberdeen today with the rest of the SD delegation to mark the expansion of @3M 's N95 mask production lines. This equipment will help protect our frontline workers who continue to put their own health at risk to fight #COVID19. Thank you to our health care heroes & to 3M."
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 6, 2020
Tweet - "With several races too close to call, we all have the same goal: making sure every legal vote is counted -- and counted accurately. All of us have a duty to make our democracy work. Let's remember how much still unifies us. ONE nation under God."
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 4, 2020
Tweet - "Congrats to my friends @SenatorRounds & @RepDustyJohnson on winning reelection. South Dakota is lucky to have you both in Washington advocating for our great state. I'm glad to have you on our team and look forward to continuing our work together to support South Dakotans."

Rounds, Loeffler Introduce Bill to Curb Veteran Homelessness
Sen. Mike Rounds, ...
Oct. 28, 2020
Tweet - "I asked Mr. Zuckerberg & Mr. Dorsey to provide a complete list of the newspaper articles their companies have suppressed or limited the distribution of over the past five years + an explanation of why they suppressed each article. These companies owe Americans more transparency."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 28, 2020
Tweet - "Just look at big tech's public statements, geographic concentration, & employee political donations (normally 80-90% Dem), and it's clear why there's mistrust among Republican users. It's baffling how tech CEOs don't see this absence of ideological diversity as problematic."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 28, 2020
Tweet - "Appreciate @Jack working on an idea that was generated from Stephen Wolfram's testimony at a hearing I convened on algorithm transparency in June 2019. "Algorithmic choice" is an idea worth exploring."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 28, 2020
Tweet - "The Facebook employee who is in charge of election integrity on the platform is a former Biden staffer. And, according to Mr. Zuckerberg, he isn't even aware of it. Is there someone to balance this ideology in a similar election integrity role at his company? **crickets**"
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 28, 2020
Tweet - "My question: Are Silicon Valley CEOs the legitimate referees of what kind of political speech gets amplified or suppressed? Zuckerberg: I certainly think not, I do not want us to have that role @Jack : No To underscore: tech companies are not the referees over our democracy."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 28, 2020
Tweet - "Due to big tech's secrecy around content moderation practices, it's impossible to know for sure if political bias exists, but recent examples of content suppression certainly seem to suggest that it does. Big tech's "explanations" for these examples too often seem like excuses."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 28, 2020
Hearing of the Communications, Technology, Innovation, and the Internet Subcommittee of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee - Opening Statement of Sen. Thune, Hearing on Consumer Transparency and Accountability, Perceived Political Bias
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 28, 2020
Tweet - "The CEOs of @Facebook , @Twitter , and @Google should be ready for some tough questions at the @SenateCommerce hearing today. There needs to be more transparency from big tech on how they decide what content they suppress or promote."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Tomorrow I'll be questioning leaders of the big tech industry about their online content moderation practices. What would you ask them if you had the opportunity?"
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "One of the main reasons many Republicans ran for the Senate was to be in a position to restore the Supreme Court to its original constitutional purpose as a judicial body, not a legislative one. We ran for this. We were elected for this. Today, we will follow through."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "Democrats spent this weekend trying to delay the #SCOTUS vote --unsuccessfully, I might add, and with no dispute over Judge Amy Coney Barrett's obvious qualifications. The Senate will perform its constitutional duty today & Democrats can't stop that."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Eugene Scalia, Secretary of the Dept. of Labor - Foxx Leads Letter Commending DOL's Efforts to Protect Independent Contractors
Rep. Dusty Johnson, ...
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "Democrats' attempted delay antics over the last seven-plus days were absurd. After they voted to block COVID relief multiple times & tried to adjourn the Senate entirely, Dems suddenly brought up a completely unrealistic "relief" bill to delay the #SCOTUS vote. Pure theatrics."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "Voting for Judge Barrett today will be one of the easiest #SCOTUS votes I've taken. I'm hopeful we'll soon have a new Justice."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "Judge Barrett's intelligence, knowledge, and judicial temperament have been on display since day one of her confirmation processes. She's proven beyond doubt that she's qualified to serve on our nation's highest court. I look forward to seeing her become Justice Barrett soon."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "Confirmed Since the day she was nominated, Judge Barrett has shown extraordinary intelligence & command of the law. On top of that, she knows that the role of a judge is to be an impartial interpreter of the law -- not a policymaker. Congrats, soon-to-be Justice Barrett."
Sen. John Thune
