Biden Administration
Sen. John Thune
May 11, 2021
Tweet - "Dems' election bill is chock-full of unwise policies that put ridiculous federal mandates on states like South Dakota that already have well-run election systems. One example, it actually *bans* states from requiring an ID to vote. It's not good policy. It's a power grab."

Rep. Dusty Johnson
April 22, 2021
Tweet - "House Dems just voted to make D.C. the 51st state, trampling on another important intention of our Founding Fathers: our capital's independence from any one state. Beyond this they're blatantly ignoring that their law is unconstitutional -- only an amendment can make D.C. a state."

March 25, 2021
Tweet - "POTUS claimed that the filibuster has been "abused in a gigantic way." There have been *zero* filibusters this Congress. So he must be referring to last Congress? Or the one before that? Or the one before that? You know, during the 6 years when Dems filibustered GOP initiatives."
Sen. John Thune
March 25, 2021
Tweet - "It's amazing that President Biden can still stand in front of the American people and talk about unity when he seems open to the idea of potentially cutting half the Senate out of the lawmaking process."

Filibuster
Sen. John Thune
March 23, 2021
Tweet - "Dems loved the filibuster when they were in the minority, & it meant they could have a say in GOP bills. But just a few months into their new majority & they don't want to bother w/ bipartisanship. They want to do whatever they want, whenever they want it."
Sen. John Thune
March 23, 2021
Tweet - "Absolutely true. Americans see through their antics. Democrats are abandoning what's right for a shortsighted power grab, & the policies they could force through would be disastrous."

Sen. John Thune
March 3, 2021
Tweet - "The GOP-led Senate passed five BIPARTISAN bills to help Americans through COVID. Now that Dems have a razor-thin majority, they're jamming through a wasteful, self-proclaimed "progressive," completely partisan bill with ZERO bipartisan support. Where's the unity, President Biden?"
