Last night’s release of a Senate farm bill that includes the year-round sale of E15 fuel is an important step forward to build on the generational investment in farm country that Republicans made in our Working Families Tax Cuts, but passage of a farm bill remains vital to give producers certainty in the years ahead.
It is difficult to believe that Lindsey Graham is no longer here with us – that we won’t run into him at a meeting today, or share a joke with him at this afternoon’s vote.
The halls of the Senate already feel empty without him. And I know that I am not alone in that feeling.
RINO?
Trump: “I want to thank Senator Thune, because I am hearing we set a record on approvals.”
Trump: “I want to thank Majority Leader John Thune who’s been my friend … he has really done an amazing job.”
Trump: “John Thune has worked so hard, he’s a terrific person.”
Yesterday, we wrapped up the week with @LeaderJohnThune visiting with the men and women at the ICE facility in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Day in and day out, these individuals track down illegal alien criminals, narco traffickers, sexual predators, and remove them from our streets.
Thank you for your service and for protecting our Homeland.
There’s no better place to celebrate the 4th of July than Mount Rushmore, and I’m looking forward to welcoming @POTUS back to celebrate America 250. 🇺🇸
Mike, I am a co-sponsor and have repeatedly voted for this but you don’t have the votes. @LeaderJohnThune can’t change that. It is math. Try focusing on Democrats instead of Republicans. Republican on Republican attacks are hurting our chances to win the majority in November.
Had a great discussion at the business roundtable in Aberdeen today. Great to hear how the permanent tax relief we passed in the Working Families @TaxCuts is helping South Dakota’s employees and small businesses.
After @SenateGOP confirmed the president’s Cabinet at the fastest pace in more than 20 years, they reformed the noms process to overcome historic Democrat obstruction (Trump is only POTUS to be denied voice vote or UC confirmation), which has all but eliminated the noms backlog.
Through Democrats’ DHS shutdown, they have solidified their stance as the party of open borders and defunding law enforcement. Today, the Senate sent our bill back to the House to quickly reopen DHS and fund these integral national security agencies.
Every senator will soon be on the record with an up-or-down vote so the American people can know exactly where they stand on voter ID. I don’t know how Democrats will be able to explain being against commonsense voter ID requirements, but I can’t wait to hear them try.
