Thune Introduces Bill to Support Hand Sanitizer and Ethanol Production By Extending FDA Guidance
Sen. John Thune
June 10, 2020
Tweet - "I agree, mayor. I can't wrap my head around this: We're hearing calls for more police training mixed in with calls to #DefundThePolice. Less funding means less money for training programs. It also means lower/less desirable salaries and likely a less-selective recruitment pool."
Sen. John Thune
June 10, 2020
Tweet - "Gen. Brown is an impressive leader, and I appreciated our recent convo. about his plans for the @usairforce . I know he will do a great job leading our airmen & protecting our country from the many dangers we face. Proud to have been a part of this historic vote in the Senate."
Sen. John Thune
June 10, 2020
Tweet - "It's easy to lose faith in the productiveness of social media dialogue when you see examples like this. @SenatorTimScott is one of the most thoughtful people I know. I'm glad he's leading the @SenateGOP charge to improve policing in this country & proud to call him a colleague."
Sen. John Thune
June 10, 2020
Tweet - "Great example of what can be achieved when the government and private sector work together. That's exactly why a key part of my #TRACEDAct w/ @SenMarkey is promoting collaboration among stakeholders to trace back illegal robocalls."

Sen. Mike Rounds, ...
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "This week alone, the Senate is hosting 8 committee hearings on #COVID19. If Dems really wanted to move more relief forward, they'd be working with Republicans to develop bipartisan legislation that actually has a chance of passing Congress & being signed into law. They're not."
Sen. John Thune
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "Important reminder: with a GOP-led Senate & Dem-led House, any bill must be #bipartisan to become law. To get things done, we must work together. Glad to work w/ @SenatorBaldwin today on an important bill to tweak the #PPP to support American producers who help #FeedTheWorld."
Sen. John Thune
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "The May #JobsReport underscores @SenateGOP 's calls to look closely at already-passed #COVID19 measures before pushing out more relief $$. If Dems had their way, we would've already spent $3 TRILLION more. We're mortgaging our kids' and grandkids' future. We have to get it right."
Sen. John Thune
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "We should have bipartisan discussions about policies to hold our police officers to the highest standards, but extreme & irresponsible proposals like abolishing police (an idea so absurd it's difficult to believe anyone is seriously discussing it) don't move these talks forward."
