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.

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.

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.

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.
