Nov. 13, 2020 Giving South Dakotans a Voice in Washington Sen. John Thune
Nov. 10, 2020 Tweet - "Even Dems themselves are acknowledging the election was a rejection of the radical left agenda.

Nov. 6, 2020 Tweet - "With several races too close to call, we all have the same goal: making sure every legal vote is counted -- and counted accurately. All of us have a duty to make our democracy work. Let's remember how much still unifies us. ONE nation under God." Sen. John Thune

Oct. 28, 2020 Tweet - "The Facebook employee who is in charge of election integrity on the platform is a former Biden staffer. And, according to Mr. Zuckerberg, he isn't even aware of it. Is there someone to balance this ideology in a similar election integrity role at his company? **crickets**" Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020 Tweet - "One of the main reasons many Republicans ran for the Senate was to be in a position to restore the Supreme Court to its original constitutional purpose as a judicial body, not a legislative one. We ran for this. We were elected for this. Today, we will follow through." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020 Tweet - "Judge Barrett's intelligence, knowledge, and judicial temperament have been on display since day one of her confirmation processes.

Oct. 26, 2020 Tweet - "Voting for Judge Barrett today will be one of the easiest #SCOTUS votes I've taken. I'm hopeful we'll soon have a new Justice." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020 Tweet - "Democrats spent this weekend trying to delay the #SCOTUS vote --unsuccessfully, I might add, and with no dispute over Judge Amy Coney Barrett's obvious qualifications. The Senate will perform its constitutional duty today & Democrats can't stop that." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020 Tweet - "Confirmed Since the day she was nominated, Judge Barrett has shown extraordinary intelligence & command of the law. On top of that, she knows that the role of a judge is to be an impartial interpreter of the law -- not a policymaker. Congrats, soon-to-be Justice Barrett." Sen. John Thune

Oct. 26, 2020 Thune Joins "Full Court Press" with Greta Van Susteren Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020 Tweet - "Democrats' attempted delay antics over the last seven-plus days were absurd. After they voted to block COVID relief multiple times & tried to adjourn the Senate entirely, Dems suddenly brought up a completely unrealistic "relief" bill to delay the #SCOTUS vote. Pure theatrics." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020 South Dakota War College - US Senator John Thune's Weekly Column: Character Matters Sen. John Thune

Oct. 24, 2020 Tweet - "Since Judge Barrett's qualifications are beyond reproach, many on the left have instead turned to distortions & distractions. Americans won't be fooled & have seen through these tactics. It's no surprise that a majority of Americans support her confirmation." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 24, 2020 Tweet - "Senate Republicans are working over the weekend to ensure that Democrat shenanigans don't slow down Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation. It's a shame to see how Democrats have politicized the judicial confirmation process over the last 30-plus years." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 22, 2020 Tweet - "Our Intelligence Community has again caught Russia -- and now Iran -- seeking to interfere with our election, spread misinformation, & sow doubt in the integrity of your votes. These "desperate attempts by desperate adversaries" will not succeed." Sen. John Thune

Oct. 20, 2020 Tweet - ""I apply the law. I follow the law. You make policy." - Judge Barrett This is exactly the kind of justice Americans want. It's not surprising that a majority of Americans support Judge Barrett being confirmed to the Supreme Court." Sen. John Thune

Oct. 12, 2020 Tweet - "I was proud to watch my @SenateGOP colleagues defend religious liberty at today's hearing. Our Constitution specifically bans religious tests for public service. No one's religion -- whatever it is -- can disqualify them to serve on the court. Nor should it." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 12, 2020 Tweet - "Watching today's hearing, you would've thought it was a floor debate on health care. Dems know they can't fault Judge Barrett on her merits, so they're relying on scare tactics. The truth is, we have no idea how she will rule on any case. But we do know she'll follow the law." Sen. John Thune

Oct. 7, 2020 Tweet - "Anyone who fairly & honestly evaluates Judge Amy Coney Barrett's fitness to serve on the Supreme Court will find a supremely qualified nominee with decades of experience. Unfortunately, some Senate Democrats appear set on writing her off because of her personal religious beliefs." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 7, 2020 Tweet - "Coastal elites are so disconnected from the heart of America. Having religious beliefs should never disqualify an American from getting a job she's qualified for. In the upcoming confirmation hearing, I hope Judge Barrett's record is evaluated -- not her religion." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 7, 2020 Tweet - "In America, we can't discriminate based on religion. We can't refuse to hire someone because of their religion. Yet, some Democrat senators are already questioning whether Judge Barrett's religion is a reason she isn't fit to serve on SCOTUS. That's not right." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 2, 2020 Tweet - "Praying for the continued health of our president and first lady after their #COVID19 diagnosis and for all Americans who have been affected by this awful virus. We're still in this fight together." Sen. John Thune

Sept. 30, 2020 Tweet - "The focus of this SCOTUS process should be on Judge Barrett & her tremendous judicial record. She knows the next few weeks are going to be tough, but off the bat, I want to say how shameful it is that some have already begun to question her faith. We should be above such attacks." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 30, 2020 Tweet - "Hearing rumors Dems will use procedural tactics in an attempt to delay Judge Barrett's confirmation. I'm tired of watching Democrats use the Senate floor as a stage for their political drama. If they continue, we'll gladly use the time to confirm more judges to the federal bench." Sen. John Thune

Sept. 26, 2020 Tweet - "My statement on the president's nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the Supreme Court.

Sept. 24, 2020 Tweet - "Exactly. The peaceful transition of power is a fundamental principle of our democracy. Republicans believe in the rule of law, & we believe in the Constitution. The Constitution is very clear about what happens after the election." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020 Tweet - "You can be upset when things don't go your way, but you still have to show up and do your job. Millions of Americans across the country know this. I wish the minority leader would follow their example." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020 Tweet - "If you believe in democracy, you believe all Americans -- not just those you agree with -- have a right to a voice in govt. You can dislike when your party isn't in charge. But, you can't suggest (w/o undermining our system) that govt is only legitimate if your party is in power." Sen. John Thune
