Sen. John Thune
July 21, 2020
Tweet - "The #COVID19 crisis we're facing today is different than the one we saw in March, & as a result, so will be our response. Waiting and evaluating was the right call. While Rs and Ds might have differing priorities for this next phase, there is a common-sense solution within reach."

Sen. John Thune
June 30, 2020

Sen. John Thune
June 24, 2020
Tweet - "I was hoping that Senate Democrats would put politics aside and work with @SenateGOP to pass a bipartisan police reform bill. Sadly, that did not happen. Democrats just blocked even debating @SenTimScott's #JUSTICEAct. Talk is cheap. Our job is to legislate. America wants action."

Sen. John Thune
June 23, 2020
Tweet - "If Senate Democrats prevent us from debating, amending, or voting on the #JUSTICEact this week, they're doing more than blocking @SenatorTimScott 's bill, they're blocking an open, bipartisan debate on policing reform -- something nearly all of them have said they support."
Sen. John Thune
June 23, 2020
Tweet - "Shocked by Dems' indications that they will vote against having a policing reform debate in the Senate. If they think the bill could be improved, why not work with us to make changes & find consensus? This is a time for action. I hope Dems see that & stop their obstruction."
