Thune’s Daughters Share Advice With Girls State Delegates

VERMILLION — Sen. John Thune was one of the featured speakers at the Tuesday session of the 2017 American Legion Girls State program, but his lanky frame was overshadowed by two women who could talk personally with the delegates about the challenges of juggling education, careers and motherhood.

ITS SICK! -- How can anyone be for a crippled, heartless GOP health plan that cuts $772 BILLION in Medicaid for the poor, children, elderly and disabled and transfers $541 billion of it to pay for tax relief for the rich like Trump? A plan that drops 2…

Senator John Thune and SENATOR MIKE ROUNDS both again RAISED THE TAX ON THE MIDDLE CLASS BY pushing MORE MONEY FOR FARM WELFARE...WE PAY FARMERS NOT TO FARM... WE PAY TOBACCO FARMERS SUBCIDIES, we PAY MARIJUANA FARMERS ALSO OUT OF TAX MONEY...I think w…

Our government really needs to get rid of "spend it or lose it". Why not save it and build on it? Or save it til you need it? Isn't that what we have to do as civilians?? Wasteful spending... $20K for three desks? Don't pull healthcare out from under s…

Joshua Vincent

Gary Yarrow

I have always been very proud of being born and raised as a South Dakotan. I moved away (work) for many years and then came back because I love it here. I never thought I would say this, but I am now ashamed of being a South Dakotan with you (Thune) …

You should be ashamed for crafting a healthcare bill behind close doors and shielding it from the public. So much for no-partisanship. You bozo of a senator. And thanks for destroying the student loan forgiveness programs, you corn eater you.

Staying alive costs too much, says Mike Rounds!!

Pulling out of the Paris agreement (which is not allowed, by the way) is more proof that Trump wants to be impeached. But he has underestimated the magnitude of the cowardice of his republican congress. …
