U.S. Senator for South Dakota
Fact: Since President Biden took office, the price of gas is up 37.55%, natural gas is up 47.31% and electricity is up 21.30%. #SOTU
There is a crisis at our Southern Border. I'm introducing legislation with @SenKatieBritt to take steps to address illegal immigration and protect our border.
Anticompetitive behavior in the meat packing industry hurts both consumers and producers. I’ve introduced the Meatpacking Special Investigator Act with @SenatorTester @ChuckGrassley to fight consolidation and enforce our nation’s anti-trust laws.
Today, we honor the presidents of our country. While none of them were perfect, they were all real people, and they helped to form our country. Our goal is still to create a more perfect Union. Happy Presidents Day!
South Dakota ranch families work tirelessly to produce the safest, highest quality and most affordable beef in the world. Producer’s livelihoods are being compromised by Brazilian beef imports that fail to meet our country’s food safety and animal health standards. (1/2)
Only beef born, raised and processed in the United States should receive the “Product of USA” label. It’s time to protect consumers and producers.
For years, we’ve called on the USDA to take action to stop foreign beef from receiving the ‘Product of USA’ label. I’ve met with Secretary Vilsack, introduced legislation since 2019 and submitted multiple comments to USDA. Today, our work is finally paying off.
Looking forward to seeing @LeaderMcConnell back in floor action as soon as possible. Wishing him a speedy recovery and keeping him our prayers.

Twice this week, President Biden has claimed he has “cut the federal debt in half.” Fact check: US National Debt was $27.7 Trillion on the day Joe Biden took office. Today, US National Debt is $31.2 Trillion.
The Chinese Communist Party has conducted a cultural genocide against the Uyghur people & persecuted over 1 million Uyghurs in prison camps. Last week, we passed legislation to send a strong message to CCP officials that this behavior is unacceptable & will no longer be tolerated
Senate Dems just blocked: ❌Enhanced unemployment benefits ❌$100B+ to gets kids back in school safely ❌PPP funding to save jobs & small biz ❌More testing ❌More contact tracing ❌More funding for vaccine development ❌Funding to make sure everyone can get a vaccine
The love of my life is with the Lord. No more treatments. No more pain. Just peace. South Dakota knew her as First Lady. We knew her as wife, daughter, mom and grandma. She was everything to us.
While Democrats continue to focus on impeachment, important work isn’t getting done: ❌ USMCA Trade Deal ❌ Appropriations bills to fund the government ❌ National Defense Authorization Act ❌ Legislation to lower health care & prescription drug costs
Hey @JoeBiden - come and take it. Careful, she bites too.
