Title
11/04/2020
Tweet - "Congrats to my friends @SenatorRounds & @RepDustyJohnson on winning reelection. South Dakota is lucky to have you both in Washington advocating for our great state. I'm glad to have you on our team and look forward to continuing our work together to support South Dakotans."
10/26/2020
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."
09/23/2020
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."
09/22/2020
Tweet - "When Dems say "nothing is off the table" if they regain the majority, they mean: -Scrapping protections for the Senate minority put in place by founders -Increasing number of SCOTUS justices (to pack it w/ liberal judges) -Making DC & PR states (in hopes of 2 Dem senators each)"
09/17/2020
Tweet - "What a shameful and unproductive attempt to tear down one of the strongest women leaders in Congress. This kind of "commentary' deserves no place in our political discourse."
09/16/2020
Tweet - "Democrats are already plotting to do away with the filibuster if political roles & majorities reverse. But take a look at what they've been up to in the minority -- blocking bills at every turn."
09/15/2020
Tweet - "Senate Dems recently filibustered: Relief funding for schools COVID vaccine funding Stimulus payments to Americans Police reform Now, they're saying they would eliminate the filibuster. This situation stretches the meaning of irony -- even by Washington standards."
09/15/2020
Tweet - "The @SenateGOP majority has, at times, been frustrated by the filibuster, but we've always respected what it means to the Senate. Now, here we are, defending the rights Dems enjoy in the minority while they're already talking about rolling them back if they regain the majority."
07/18/2020
Tweet - "Last night, America lost one of our great civil rights heroes. John Lewis dedicated his life to serving and improving our country. He will be greatly missed. Kimberley and I are praying for his family in their grief."
06/10/2020
Tweet - "It's easy to lose faith in the productiveness of social media dialogue when you see examples like this. @SenatorTimScott is one of the most thoughtful people I know. I'm glad he's leading the @SenateGOP charge to improve policing in this country & proud to call him a colleague."
05/27/2020
Tweet - "Great news! We have all been praying for Jean."
05/19/2020
Tweet - "The @SenateGOP has been busy in DC with: -Cmte oversight on #COVID19 -Key nominations -Critical national security bill +++ What have House Dems been doing? Show up for 24 hours, vote on a $3 trillion messaging bill, unilaterally change historic voting rules, & then leave town."
05/02/2020
Tweet - "The Senate is back in Washington on Monday, but for the past few weeks, I've been working from my home office. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at my workdays -- full of virtual meetings & phone calls."
04/30/2020
Tweet - "I've talked about the legislative branch's role in making laws, but did you know there's another part of my job that's solely based on helping you? In this lesson, I explain what "constituent services" are & why they're a key part of any senator's job."
04/28/2020
Tweet - "Thank you for having me. More than ever, we're all relying on our neighbors, and South Dakota is proud to count Iowa as one. Thanks for everything you do in the Senate to defend the Great Plains & Midwest."
04/23/2020
Tweet - "I'm very sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you, your family, and all of those Americans who've experienced loss at the hands of this horrible virus."
04/22/2020
Tweet - "Hey, parents - For the past few weeks, I've been posting lesson plan videos about the federal government. So, if you've recently added the job of "teacher" to your plate as your kids are home from school, check out this week's lesson on Senate committees."

03/28/2020
Tweet - "Tom Coburn was either your greatest ally or greatest adversary, depending on which side of his deeply held convictions and relentless passion you found yourself. Few have been as impactful."
03/05/2020
