Tweet: The filibuster is a critically important part of our government. It ensures 3 KEY things: 1. The majority of laws are bipartisan 2. Laws that impact Americans' lives aren't changing every few years 3. Americans w/ representatives in the minority party still have a voice in gov't

Sen. John Thune
Jan. 11, 2022

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021
