Great Faces, Great Places!
BIG Update
This week, my bill, the Ocean Shipping Reform Implementation Act, passed the House overwhelmingly. This is a great victory for our nation’s supply chain. South Dakota exports $7 billion of manufactured and agricultural goods each year. The ocean shipping supply chain is crucial to producers and consumers in our state.
My bill gets tough on China and their unfair shipping practices. It bans the use of Chinese state-sponsored LOGINK software at U.S. ports and permits the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to investigate foreign shipping exchanges, like the Shanghai Shipping Exchange, to prevent unfair business practices. It also authorizes the FMC to simplify data standards for maritime freight logistics.
It’s got a lot of support, and I hope the Senate considers it soon.
BIG Idea
In 2023, we welcomed 14.7 million people to our beautiful state. Our tourism industry relies heavily on the ease of getting here. Secretary Jim Hagen and his team from Travel S.D. were in D.C. to discuss some of the ways we can get travel back on track and eliminate obstacles for tourists. We’re working together to make it easier to visit South Dakota. We talked about the need to reauthorize the annual aviation bill to improve our access to air travel. Last year, I voted in support of the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act, which does exactly that.
BIG News
Governor Kristi Noem and South Dakota Farm Bureau President Scott VanderWal were in D.C. this week to be witnesses at two of my committee hearings. Governor Noem spoke at the Agriculture Committee hearing, testifying on the danger that China poses to American farmland and agriculture. She and I have worked to secure America and South Dakota from the Chinese Communist Party threat, especially preventing the CCP from buying American ag land. Food security is national security – we can’t allow our biggest adversary to have control over our food supply. I’m grateful for Governor Noem’s partnership on this issue.
The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee welcomed Mr. VanderWal to speak about rural transportation challenges on behalf of the American Farm Bureau Federation, of which he is the Vice President. He has been supportive of my legislation, the MOVE Act and the SHIP IT Act, which would safeguard and streamline our supply chain. As the lone voice for South Dakota in the House of Representatives, it was a pleasure to welcome two fellow South Dakotans to share their perspectives with Congress.
I’d be surprised if he knew where Mount Rushmore was with the amount of time he spends in Sioux Falls
dusty johnson our wonderful rino … thanks for selling us out again
You must be one of the less than 38% of the state tha doesn’t like the job Dusty’s been doing, even though he’s the most effective rep on ag issues. You know we’re an ag state right?
you know we are going in debt another trillion dollars every 100 days ??just keep those subsidies rolling in who cares
and yeah i know all about ag ,,, i am in the business but i also know burying yourself in debt usually doesn’t work out well be it the government or private business
In your dreams. If you think we need more gun control, threat of veterans losing their rights or abortion funded by the federal gov’t. then you’re obviously happy with being sold out. If it was 38%, when the rest of the state finds out what he sold us out for I guarantee you and yours who haven’t the intellect to find out what he’s really doing will be in a minority.
Dusty votes yes for another 1.2 trillion in spending while telling us he is fighting government over spending.

i hope we have a real republican and lets primary him out !!!
Another traitorous vote today by the resident RINO Johnson. What a sorry excuse of a person that unfortunately represents South Dakota.
While I wish Dusty would renounce Trump, and he won’t, he is still a very dependable representative, and sole representative at that. I don’t think anyone running against him has a chance of unseating him.
i would vote for a potato over johnson.
You don’t learn very fast, do you? I suppose you’re better off now than you were when Trump was in office. If that were true, you’re either rich and don’t have to worry about the economy or you’re a liar. Either way you haven’t a clue.
the rino johnson already threw Trump under the bus , not a shred of evidence of anything wrong with the 2020 election hahaa
there wasn’t a shred of evidence of anything wrong with the 2020 election.
Interesting, especially since you have already started posting statements that if Trump wins it will be because of dirty tricks and manipulation…without a shred of evidence.
no, i said he’s placing election deniers from 2020 in important positions around the country. draw your own conclusions. oh you did already.
I guess kicking out republican election observers , pulling ballots out from under the table after the so called water leak , and watching mules stuff ballots in drop boxes are all normal then the elections were all above board . I guess you I shouldn’t even start questioning the manipulation of the voting machines . If it was all honest then why did all the democrats object to looking into the validity of it. I know why because it wasn’t
In other words, this is just a round-about way of saying, you have already started posting statements that if Trump wins it will be because of dirty tricks and manipulation. Thank you for confirming what you have stated and not try to deny it. Oh you already did.
Any way you look at it, with all the evidence of fraud that’s come out since 2020, if you still believe it was fair, you’re a few bricks shy of a full load. I think the obvious explanation is that you’re nothing but a liberal troll trying to stir a turd. As a matter of fact, I would imagine Terry is the same. At any rate you’re both out of touch with reality.
“no, i said he’s placing election deniers from 2020 in important positions around the country.”
Really? These two statements made by you say exactly that, don’t they?

“if trump is made president by actions in the red states and swing states that invalidate the election, and the u-s house just makes trump president, i will be not fine with it.”

“trump needs his loyal red states to help gut the november vote count and throw it to the house of representatives. trump’s failed attempts to appear centrist over the past couple of weeks have revealed the huge barrier trump can’t get past to win a fair general election.”
Lots of sheep bleating “RINO” without any substance behind it. Who gave Doeden a keyboard?
If it walks like a rino, talks like a rino ,and votes like a rino then you can bet it’s a rino. i don’t vote for republicans so they can just go to D.C to cave to the democrats , I want them to stand up to them. I wish we had another Clint Roberts not some milksop
PP I wish someone would define what determines what makes a “Republican” a Rino?
when they are telling us how conservative they are when it’s campaign time but when they really need to stand up they roll over every time
Examples: Thune, Rounds, and Johnson.
Roll over or compromise? These people who think that they can pass legislation withoutsome form are just kidding themselves.
“R”epublican “I”n “N”ame “O”nly. They get elected on lies then in Dusty’s case, can’t wait to jump across the aisle to appear bipartisan against the beliefs of their constituents.
More than likely he has someone post for him. I doubt Dumpsterfire Caveman can even spell or compose a sentence.
pretty lame , you might try actually debating next time
You obviously do not know him.
Goodness gracious…Mike Lindell spent millions of dollars and bankrupted himself and his business and couldnn’t produce one shred of evidence that would stand up in court to support Trump’s crazy claims and riotous behavior. Trump is just lucky he isn’t in jail….yet.
isn’t it funny how everything we are told is just a conspiracy theory later turns out to be true? The evidence is of the fraud is overwhelming
If it’s soooooooo overwhelming, go to court. Surely some lawyer would have done so if it was soooooo overwhelming.
it is in court
Where? Trumps trials? F it’s so obvious he’s innocent why keep dragging it out.
Not to Terry or enquirer, they get all their news for MSM!
Trump in jail would be a dream come true for you and the rest of the Trump haters. Got some reality for you to chew on, he will never go to jail.
The US national debt right now is 34.6 trillion. Congress with their reckless spending policies adds another trillion to the debt every 100 days. Yet dusty votes to spend another 1.2 trillion that we do not have. This reckless spending is unsustainable and needs to stop NOW.
Trump led the charge in racking up the national debt. We don’t need RINO’s like him.
Until we have all three – House, Senate and Presidency – we have to compromise because shutting down the government is not an option. Once we have all three, then votes that don’t reduce the deficit could more credibly be called RINO. Until then, these RINO charges are a bunch of hot air from idiots.
B.S. we had 4 trillion-dollar debt when Bush left office. Eight years later with your buddy Obama at the helm it was twenty trillion. Biden and Obama have done more to increase the debt the Trump ever thought of.
60 % of Republicans think election was not legitimate. Most election cases were thrown out on lack of standing not because the facts were not there.
all of these cases start out in democrat controlled areas and you know the democrat judges will never let anyone look into the elections because they know exactly what they are going to find.
Bullshit. Look at Georgia. Solid GOP, but where are the election fraud lawsuits? Oh right I bed you’re insane enough to think they’re all RINOs right? What about Dominion v. Fox? I’m guessing you think that was rigged too.
Not everything’s a conspiracy, look up Occam’s Razor, try thinking reeeeeealy hard and maybe you’ll see that you were lied to about the election being a lie.
Ask Raffensperger, he’s being investigated for not conducting an investigation of reported voter fraud. Look it up. Better yet, try getting your news from other than CNN and you might learn something.
Sure under supposed investigation from the same breed of morons cling to the lie that 2020 was stolen.
Instead of moving the party forward and trying to win over independent voters, these clowns are driving away the swing voters. Why do you think we keep losing elections since 2020? Try talking and engaging with people that watch things besides OAN and Pillow-Boy.
I guess giving into the demands of the democrats is a compromise while the republicans get nothing?
It’s hard to believe Johnson voted for this disaster of a spending bill. Right now, he doesn’t have any opposition so he’s showing his ass. Sooner or later, that’s going to blow up in his face. He had a bright future and chose to go the way of Herseth and Daschle.
the 2020 election results were true, ironclad and triple-vetted, due to all the lies trump generated about a stolen election. trump threw a dozen overthrow strategies at the wall and none of them worked for various reasons. it’s reasonable to assume he has gamed out strategies and where to place people.
” it’s reasonable to assume he has gamed out strategies and where to place people.”
And you want us all to believe that your party of socialist degenerates (democrats) haven’t done the very same thing in the past and won’t do the very same thing in the future? Get a clue.
The 2024 election hasn’t even taken place yet and you are stoking the fires of “election fraud” because your man-crush, Stumbles, is going to get sent packing. Did you or did you not post the following:

“the 2020 election results were true, ironclad and triple-vetted” …. what a load of garbage. Counting the same fraudulent votes over and over will produce the same fraudulent results. I guess we should just believe the democrats and not our lying eyes. Maybe it’s all Russian disinformation like Hunter’s laptop from hell
thanks for reprinting all my past comments from other stories here for me. it was a real time saver. dark brandon’24!!
You’re welcome. Anytime I can point out your hypocrisy and show you for the RINO that you are.
RINO? Or just plain old run-of-the -mill libtard? Me thinks the latter.
