Aug. 13, 2020
Tweet - "It felt great to be back meeting with South Dakotans in person. Thank you to the folks at Avera Queen of Peace Hospital for providing an update on their response to #COVID19. Our health care providers have been the heroes throughout this pandemic."
Sen. John Thune
Aug. 7, 2020
Tweet - "The July #JobsReport was better than predicted with 1.8 million jobs added + a lower unemployment rate. After the economy took a big hit during the shutdown, we are continuing to work our way back to what was a stellar economy pre-#COVID19."
Sen. John Thune
Aug. 7, 2020
Capital Journal - OPINION: Safeguarding South Dakota's top industry

Aug. 6, 2020
Letter to the Hon. William Barr, Attorney General, and the Hon. Christopher Wray, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation - Cassidy, Colleagues Urge DOJ, FBI to Investigate Planned Parenthood for Illegal Trafficking and Sale of Fetal Tissue
Sen. John Thune, ...
Aug. 5, 2020
Tweet - "Let's be clear, Dems' $3 trillion+ #COVID bill will never pass the Senate. It's not targeted. It's not fiscally responsible. Republicans have been trying to negotiate in good faith, but Dems refuse to work w/ us to find common ground, & they continue to push their messaging bill."
Sen. John Thune
Aug. 5, 2020
Tweet - "When Republicans announced our #COVID19 relief bill, we knew our version wouldn't be the final draft & were open to negotiating. But negotiations involve compromise on both sides, and Democrats apparently aren't willing to budge one inch on their $3 trillion+, 100% partisan bill."
Sen. John Thune
Aug. 5, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans want to pass a coronavirus relief bill, & we're ready to negotiate. But Democrats have to want to come to the table. "Our way or the highway' is not a negotiating position. I hope -- I really hope -- that Dems will work with us on a bill that can actually become law."
Sen. John Thune
Aug. 5, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans have offered multiple proposals for the next step of #COVID19 relief, yet each time Democrats come back with the same response: "pass the HEROES Act." 1. This bill won't pass -- it's not targeted & not fiscally responsible 2. This is not how negotiations work."
Sen. John Thune
July 31, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Hon. Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader - Bipartisan Group of 103 Lawmakers Urges House Leadership to Prioritize Affordable Housing in Next COVID-19 Bill
Rep. Dusty Johnson, ...
July 30, 2020
Tweet - "There's only one way we're going to make progress on the next round of COVID relief: Democrats must come to the table in a serious way. @SenateGOP wants to help, but piling an additional $3 TRILLION onto the national debt, as Dems have suggested, is a totally unserious proposal."
Sen. John Thune
July 29, 2020
Tweet - "Coronavirus has turned lives upside down. People who are now working remotely in a different state than their office and medical professionals who traveled to help fight #COVID19 should NOT be subject to higher & more complicated tax bills. My proposal "
Sen. John Thune
July 28, 2020
Tweet - "If Dems want to play a productive role in the next phase of COVID relief, we have a good place to start w/ our targeted HEALS Act. The House bill, which would cost $3 TRILLION+, is chock-full of liberal agenda items, fiscally irresponsible, & will not be considered in the Senate."
Sen. John Thune
July 28, 2020
Tweet - "SCAM WARNING: If the @SDDOH contacts you about potential #COVID19 exposure, they will NEVER ask for credit card info or money. If you are asked for this info or asked to pay anything, it is a scam. It's sad to see scammers taking advantage of this crisis."
Sen. John Thune
July 27, 2020
Tweet - "The #HEALSAct announced by @senatemajldr is the result of months of careful evaluation of existing #COVID19 relief efforts. This new, targeted relief bill will give support to Americans who truly need it. I'm hopeful we can come to an agreement that reflects these priorities."
Sen. John Thune
July 27, 2020
Tweet - "The HEALS Act would provide targeted and effective relief to the people who need it the most: health care heroes on the front lines of this pandemic, Americans struggling through the resulting economic crisis, small biz owners who are trying to sustain/rebuild, and our students."
Sen. John Thune
July 24, 2020

Sen. Mike Rounds
July 22, 2020

Sen. John Thune
July 22, 2020

July 22, 2020

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
Tweet - "Let me be clear: Any suggestion that Republicans somehow didn't want a debate on police reform is patently false. We stand ready to act today. Democrats, unfortunately, seem more interested in how this issue can help them in November than actually finding a solution."
Sen. John Thune
June 30, 2020
Tweet - "Consumers believe in America. They know that our country will come back stronger than ever after #COVID19. Step one for a sustainable recovery needs to be keeping people safe. Remember to wear a mask so we don't lose ground in this fight."

June 30, 2020

Sen. John Thune
June 25, 2020

Executive Session
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

Sen. John Thune, ...
June 24, 2020
Tweet - "Unbelievable. Dems just blocked the Senate from debating police reform. Democrats have totally exposed their real motives (it's not creating change or finding viable solutions). Americans are calling out for justice, equality, & ACTION. But Dems are just focused on politics. Wow."
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."
