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 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
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

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 30, 2020 Tweet - "Countries shouldn't be able to "own" generic food names like parmesan & feta. This puts made-in-America products at a disadvantage.

July 30, 2020 Tweet - "Anyone who knows me knows that I love sports -- especially basketball. Sports instill important values like respect, work ethic, & sportsmanship. Pro leagues should uphold such ideals, not echo the human rights abuses of China's communist government." Sen. John Thune

July 28, 2020 Coronavirus 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 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.
