Sept. 15, 2020

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 15, 2020
Tweet - "Senate Dems recently filibustered: Relief funding for schools COVID vaccine funding Stimulus payments to Americans Police reform Now, they're saying they would eliminate the filibuster. This situation stretches the meaning of irony -- even by Washington standards."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 15, 2020
Problem Solvers Caucus unveils "March to Common Ground" COVID stimulus framework
Rep. Dusty Johnson, ...
Sept. 14, 2020
Delegation Applauds Environmental Protection Agency Decision to Deny "Gap-Year' Small Refinery Exemption Petitions

Sept. 14, 2020
Tweet - "Exciting to see the Air Force's B-21 basing process is continuing to advance. We were proud to have Ellsworth AFB named the best site to host the first main operating base for the Raider. These draft EIS numbers back up that decision. More info: https://b21eis.com"
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 11, 2020
Tweet - "On the anniversary of 9/11, we remember to #NeverForget & continue to honor the legacy set by all the brave Americans who sacrificed that day. There are countless examples of super-human bravery on #September11. This story of #Flight93 is one of the most striking examples."

Letter to the Hon. William Bar, United States Attorney General - Inhofe, Tillis, Senate Colleagues Push to Ensure Law Enforcement Officials are Protected
Sen. Mike Rounds, ...
Sept. 10, 2020
Tweet - "I hope every American understands what's been happening in Congress w/ #COVID relief funding. Republicans have been trying in earnest to pass a bill; we've offered multiple versions & pursued negotiations. Dems intro'd one spending spree bill & adamantly refused to compromise."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 10, 2020
Tweet - "If Dems really shared Republicans' urgency to deliver relief to Americans, they'd work w/ us to get a compromise bill through Congress. Yet, they refuse to negotiate. The logical conclusion is that Dems, with eyes on November, would rather have a political issue than pass a bill."
Sen. John Thune

Coronavirus
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 10, 2020
Tweet - "It's wild to me that Dems just blocked GOP's bill that would've put billions in relief funds toward students, vaccine research, American jobs, & more areas of immediate need. Even if it didn't contain all the spending Dems want, isn't targeted relief better than no relief?"

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 9, 2020
Tweet - ". @SenateGOP 's latest #coronavirus relief bill is another effort by Republicans to try to find common ground on a realistic #COVID19 funding proposal. This week's vote will be an opportunity for Dems to finally take action after showing an unwillingness to negotiate for months."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 9, 2020
Tweet - "Let's be clear: The Democrats' current negotiating position is that unless Congress passes their $3 trillion #COVID spending proposal, they aren't interested in a deal. That's right, Dems think providing Americans with *zero* assistance is better than our targeted bill."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 9, 2020
Tweet - "As I informed the @EPA back in June, any so-called "gap SREs" will only worsen challenges for biofuels and our farmers. The administration would be right to fully reject these petitions."

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 8, 2020

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 3, 2020
Tweet - "Any #AV policy must ensure 3 things: 1. preserve roles of federal & state regulators 2. build on @NHTSAgov 's efforts to update regulations not written with AVs in mind 3. enhance NHTSA's ability to expand testing & grant exemptions if existing regulations block safety innovations"
