WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today discussed recent progress with multiple COVID vaccines, and he recognized the efforts of private sector companies, Congress, and the administration for expediting vaccine developments. Thune also emphasized that Republicans are prepared to pass additional targeted and fiscally responsible COVID relief legislation to provide assistance to American families and businesses. He urged his Democrat colleagues to put politics aside and help deliver relief for the American people.

  1. What does Noem have to say about Covid? I was a big fan of her approach for a long time but it’s getting out of hand now. She should at least be doing press conferences and urging people to use more precautions. Even if she doesn’t mandate, she can lead and be a better example. She seems more interested in running for the next office though.

    2. she has only constantly said we were proactive early – we prepared for worst case scenarios and a big ugly peak in May … our separating and masking (voluntary) and cities who shut down public venues (mandatory) “flattened the curve” and stretched that curve to, basically, now. obviously we are having a big curve but it’s comparable to the nation, and other parts of the world. she has said all of this over and over for decades, centuries now.

  3. She should stop focusing on national news and get back to the daily or weekly press conference speaking to SD citizens.

  4. It would be a marvelous display of bipartisan unity and healing if our congress would set aside petty differences and pass the Senate’s Covid relief package. Our citizens need help now. Those eager to pass additional measures will have ample opportunities to legislate in the coming months. We’ll have plenty of problems to solve in ’21. For now, serve the people. Do what’s possible. Don’t let the perfect become the enemy of the good.

    1. This so-called “Covid relief” legislation violates the Tenth Amendment. It would be a marvelous display of principle if John Thune would keep his promise to defend the Constitution and stop running up the federal debt and driving the nation toward a financial meltdown.

      1. Don’t count on it. Both Repubs and Demos have no interest in stopping deficit spending. When either side says they are acting financially responsible it’s an outright lie. Spend spend spend until the party is over.

  5. Noem is the Republican Tom Daschle — too big for her britches, focused mostly on things OUTSIDE of South Dakota. Marty would beat her in a primary, so would Dusty. She might not win another election.

  6. WTF? Like, shoving through an unqualified SCOTUS justice instead of COVID relief made sense a few weeks ago, right Johnny? Put politics aside my ass. Go get Moscow Mitch another coffee, Lurch.

    1. Ike – You are such a Crazy Leftist its insane. Dems are the ones for big government, always have and always will be. I am NOT, I repeat NOT excusing the RINOs in the Republican party which Thune and Rounds are a part of but, dude your out in Left field if you can’t see your side the fence has been pushing this crap for 60+ years. I recommend a history leasson

  7. So, create a market for your product using government power.

    Socialism is in South Dakota, just like my Grandma said.

    Raise your hand if you have 3M stock.
