Date Title
12/21/2022 Tweet - "Oversight of how federal broadband dollars are being spent is necessary to ensure that agencies aren't mishandling billions of taxpayer dollars and, most importantly, to make sure the funding is going to areas that are actually unserved."
12/20/2022 Tweet - "Providing for our nation's defense is one of the most serious and consequential responsibilities for members of Congress. If we don't get national defense right, the rest is just conversation."
12/20/2022 Tweet - "The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act put more money in American families' pockets and it fueled one of the best economies in U.S. history. We must make these pro-growth policies permanent."
12/13/2022 Tweet - "Today's CPI report confirms what families and small businesses know all too well: America is still facing a massive inflation crisis (up 13.8% since Joe Biden took office less than two years ago)."
12/13/2022 Tweet - "Congress has allocated an unprecedented $80 BILLION in federal broadband investments. I'm leading the effort to ensure that there is stringent oversight of how these funds are being spent to prevent agencies from misusing billions of taxpayer dollars."
12/12/2022 Tweet - "The crisis at our southern border is appalling. Border Patrol is overwhelmed, local police departments are stretched thin, and border facilities & private shelters are beyond capacity. This is unacceptable."
12/06/2022 Tweet - "The Biden administration should look at the impact its radical ESG policies will have on the cost of food and energy in this country BEFORE implementing these policies on the American people."
12/02/2022 Thune Statement on Proposed RFS Blending Targets
11/29/2022 Tweet - "Senate Republicans have real solutions to strengthen IRS oversight and create greater transparency for American taxpayers. I sincerely hope that Senate Dems will decide to join us in these efforts. There's no reason not to."
10/13/2022 Tweet - "Democrats' big-government, big-spending agenda has resulted in months of record-high inflation. And instead of addressing this crisis, Dems continue to advocate for policies that helped create it in the first place."
10/05/2022 Tweet - ". @POTUS has depleted the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to its lowest levels since 1984. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is meant for emergencies, not to provide political cover because the president's energy policies have undermined our domestic supply and raised prices."
10/05/2022 Tweet - "The Biden admin going hat in hand to Saudi Arabia & other oil-producing countries is the price for its ongoing assault against American-made energy. In just a few short years, America went from energy independence to this. It's time to reverse course."
09/29/2022 Tweet - "Providing for a strong national defense, a reliable energy supply, and a functioning economy are among the president's most basic responsibilities. @POTUS is failing in every department."
09/26/2022 Tweet - "Yet another study showing that student loan "forgiveness" is an expensive bailout -- and American taxpayers are forced to foot the bill."
09/13/2022 Tweet - "The Biden administration is STILL forcing toddlers in certain Head Start programs to wear masks. @SecBecerra , this overreaching and outdated policy must end."
09/08/2022 Tweet - "Queen Elizabeth II lived a long, incredible life -- an undeniably important fixture in world history. Kimberley and I are praying for her family and thinking of America's friends in the UK during this difficult time. May the Queen rest in peace."
09/08/2022 Tweet - "The so-called Inflation Reduction Act will do nothing to address the real economic challenges facing Americans. What it will do is spend hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars on Democrats' socialist, big-government fantasies -- and raise taxes to help pay for it."
09/07/2022 Tweet - "I want to be very clear about this: Not one penny of debt is being "canceled" or "forgiven." This debt is being transferred from the 13% of the country with student loan debt to the 87% of the country that does not have student debt."
08/10/2022 Tweet - "Inflation remains sky-high, and the cost for many of the things that impact Americans' budgets continues to be unacceptably high -- groceries, rent, and gas, to name a few. Democrats should abandon the policies that got us here, not double down on them."
08/07/2022 Tweet - "Just successfully blocked Democrat leadership's attempt to sneak a tax hike on already struggling small businesses into their reckless tax-and-spending bill. Glad a majority of my colleagues saw the harm this tax would cause and passed my amendment."
08/05/2022 Tweet - "What does the misleadingly named "Inflation Reduction Act" actually do? Raises taxes during a recession, doubles the size of the IRS, spends more taxpayer dollars, and does nothing to meaningfully address inflation or high energy costs."
08/03/2022 Tweet - "A few names for Dems' so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" if they were being honest with Americans: - Higher Taxes Act - Worsening Inflation Act - Audit American Families Act - Green New Deal Lite"
08/03/2022 Tweet - "Finland & Sweden will strengthen the capabilities & deterrence posture of the alliance. I urge other NATO members to quickly approve their accession."
07/28/2022 Tweet - "Dem policies have helped drive our economy into a recession. At every turn since taking over in Washington, Democrats have ignored warnings & pushed policies that fueled inflation and undermined economic growth. Now American families are footing the bill for their bad decisions."
07/28/2022 Tweet - "Democrats' latest version of their reckless tax-and-spending spree is the same old bad policies dressed up with a new name. This bill isn't going to reduce record-high inflation. It's more likely to further slow down our economy."
