June 18, 2020
Thune, Brown Introduce Bill to Relieve Mobile and Remote Workers of Unfair Tax Burdens Caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic
Sen. John Thune, ...
June 17, 2020
Tweet - "#COVID19 has highlighted for many Americans something South Dakotans have long known: wide-open space is good for the soul (and your savings). I think more Americans are giving consideration to places around the country, like South Dakota, where we have low taxes & lots of space."
Sen. John Thune
June 17, 2020
Tweet - "Encouraged by my colleagues' press conference & @senatemajldr 's decision to bring the #JUSTICEact to the floor ASAP. "The answer to the question of which side do you support is 'I support America'" -- Senator Tim Scott"
Sen. John Thune
June 17, 2020
Tweet - "To Democrats, I say: Let's get a result. Let's put something on the president's desk that actually improves policing in this country and sends a clear message to those out there who are frustrated that Washington isn't listening."
Sen. John Thune
June 17, 2020
Tweet - "I urged @USTreasury & @SBAgov to simplify the #PaycheckProtectionProgram forgiveness application for America's small businesses who have been struggling through#COVID19. The new EZ application will require fewer calculations & less documentation. Glad to see this change happen."
Sen. John Thune
June 17, 2020
Tweet - "I sincerely hope Dems work w/ GOP to make this a moment of ACTION instead of a moment of rhetoric. @SenatorTimScott 's #JUSTICEact is based in solutions that have been advocated for on both sides of the aisle. Let's work together to bring America closer to our founding ideals."
Sen. John Thune
June 17, 2020
Tweet - "Too many black Americans live in fear that what happened to George Floyd could happen to their own fathers, sons, & brothers. We must continue to strive toward the full realization of America's founding promise that all men are created equal & liberty and justice for ALL."
Sen. John Thune

Rounds Supports Police Reform Bill in Senate
Sen. Mike Rounds
June 16, 2020
Tweet - "Once again the #USA shows its strength! Our economy and the American people are bouncing back far faster than expected as states safely reopen. There is much further to go to get back to the booming economy we had pre-COVID, but these are hopeful signs."
Sen. John Thune
June 15, 2020
Tweet - "Great initiative by @FLOTUS to get America's youth involved in the centennial celebration of women getting their right to vote. I encourage South Dakota's talented students to submit artwork! Link to submit here:"
Sen. John Thune
June 15, 2020
Tweet - "I look forward to carefully reviewing @SenatorTimScott 's #PoliceReform proposal. He's approaching this effort with a sincere desire to get results -- and that means including elements that have support on both sides of the aisle."

Sen. Mike Rounds
June 11, 2020
Senate Armed Services Committee Approves National Defense Authorization Act with Rounds' Support
Sen. Mike Rounds
June 11, 2020
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 - "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. 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

Letter to the Hon. Alex Azar, Secretary of Health and Human Services and to the Hon. Seema Verma, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services - Cortez Masto Urges Top Health Officials to Swiftly Distribute Emergency Covid-19 Funds to Hospitals Serving Low-Income, Vulnerable Populations
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 - "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."
Sen. John Thune
June 8, 2020
Tweet - "The effects of #COVID19 have further highlighted the advantages of #telehealth. Proud to see South Dakota's own @AveraHealth acting as an industry leader in this space. Supporting and expanding this technology will continue to be a priority for me."
Sen. John Thune
June 5, 2020
Tweet - "There's more work ahead, but this is good news & a strong sign that safely reopening states is helping ease #COVID19 economic strain. Our economy was healthy & growing before the pandemic hit -- this is an indication that it may bounce back faster than predicted. #JobsReport"
Sen. John Thune
June 5, 2020
Tweet - "Glad to see the DOJ is stepping up and investigating this. This is important news for our ranchers and shows the administration is listening to our calls for the truth."
Sen. John Thune
June 5, 2020
Tweet - "Great meeting with folks from Avera eCARE in Sioux Falls. #COVID19 has highlighted how powerful of a tool telehealth can be to meet our health care needs."
