These firings could impact thousands of federal workers right here in South Dakota. Trump is putting our safety and health at risk with these mass layoffs.

Sen. Thune needs to grow a back bone and stand up for federal workers. Trump doesn't want to pay them -- that includes more than 11,000 South Dakotans.

@GovLarryRhoden National Guard troops will be paid, D.C. crime was already falling, and sending them was a political stunt—the shutdown persists because Republicans refuse to protect affordable healthcare, and Schumer represents New York, not D.C.
I just met with our @SD_Guard soldiers deployed to DC — they aren’t even being paid right now. I assure you, every day isn’t “getting better” for the hard-working soldiers keeping Senator Schumer’s city safe.

It's been one week since Trump and Republicans shut down the government. Democrats are fighting to lower costs and save health care for tens of thousands of South Dakotans. Tell @LeaderJohnThune he needs to come to the negotiating table!

Hey Dusty, when are you planning to get back to work?
Democrats are ready to fix this crisis, but Republicans would rather keep the government shut down. Their allegiance to Trump outweighs their duty to you—the American people.

Trump’s tariffs are raising costs for South Dakota farmers on everything from tractors to fertilizer. This should be a good harvest season, but instead, Trump's trade wars are creating a farm crisis.

House Republicans are on an extended vacation. Why? Because they don’t want to keep your health care affordable or deal with the Epstein Files.

Because of Trump's trade war, China has not purchased any soybeans from South Dakota. Without those orders, the livelihoods of farmers and the state's main industry are at risk.

Sen. Rounds says Trump can do whatever he wants when it comes to funding freezes for states he doesn't like and mass layoffs of federal workers. When did the president get unchecked power?
