Rep. Dusty Johnson, ...
Oct. 20, 2021

Sen. John Thune
Oct. 19, 2021
Sens. Cruz, Lankford, Rep. Hartzler Stand For Coach's Right to Pray
Sen. John Thune, ...
Oct. 19, 2021
Tweet - "Utilities in South Dakota are already projecting a 50% to 100% increase for the season. Why? 1. Pres. Biden's war on American energy (starting with canceling Keystone XL day one in office) 2. Inflation (which will get even worse if Dems spend TRILLIONS more)"
Sen. John Thune

Sen. John Thune
Oct. 13, 2021

Sen. John Thune
Oct. 9, 2021
Tweet - "Even with the highest attempted border crossings in 20 years--more than a 300% increase since August 2020--the president keeps doubling down on his #BidenBorderCrisis. Rather than enforcing our laws and securing our border, he's given cartels and traffickers the green light."

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 30, 2021
Tweet - "The Biden border crisis is endangering communities across the country. I spoke with SD sheriffs, & they're seeing the effects in our state. Butte County Sheriff Fred Lamphere said the problem with drugs is worse than he's ever seen from meth & fentanyl pouring across the border."

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
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. 22, 2021
Tweet - "The United Kingdom is one of our closest allies and a key partner in everything from national security to trade, especially as it relates to S.D. agriculture. Good to sit down with @BorisJohnson to discuss the many global challenges that the U.S. and U.K. are facing together."

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 13, 2021
Tweet - "The Biden admin must be held accountable for the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. They left American citizens behind, abandoned our Afghan allies, and left equipment & weapons in enemy hands. Congressional oversight is a must -- Blinken is the first step. We need the full story."

Sen. John Thune
Aug. 27, 2021
