Sen. John Thune
Oct. 1, 2020

Sept. 30, 2020
Tweet - "The focus of this SCOTUS process should be on Judge Barrett & her tremendous judicial record. She knows the next few weeks are going to be tough, but off the bat, I want to say how shameful it is that some have already begun to question her faith. We should be above such attacks."

Tweet - "If you believe in democracy, you believe all Americans -- not just those you agree with -- have a right to a voice in govt. You can dislike when your party isn't in charge. But, you can't suggest (w/o undermining our system) that govt is only legitimate if your party is in power."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020

Tweet - "When Republicans saw Dems had left key ag funding out of the CR, we demanded it be fixed. It's been a hard year for farmers/ranchers: low commodity prices, bad weather, difficulties w/ markets, and -- of course -- #COVID. Very glad we were able to get this funding back in the bill."
