South Dakota is in a good spot as we rebound from #COVID19, but some of our small businesses were still hurt by this pandemic.

Today, I proposed a framework for up to $400 million in small business grants from South Dakota's Coronavirus Relief Funds. (THREAD 1/)
Our small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities and economy. When I asked folks to adjust their way of life to help us flatten the curve, South Dakotans exercised their personal responsibility and responded. (2/)
#COVID19 significantly impacted the day-to-day operations, customer traffic, and supply chains of a number of small business owners across SD. I hope that this proposal will help folks stay open and overcome the unprecedented times we've faced these last several months. (3/)
I look forward to discussing this proposal with the legislature. Specifics can be found here: covid.sd.gov/docs/ProposedF…

Every single life is precious and deserving of our protection – but apparently South Dakota legislators think otherwise. They denied to introduce my bill to protect unborn lives once a heartbeat can be detected. (1/)
It grieves me that they would take this unprecedented action at this time based on the advice of one out-of-state lawyer.

National pro-life leaders believe that now is the time to have this sort of protection in law to save lives. (2/)
The United States Supreme Court has allowed the Texas Heartbeat Act to go forward three times, and this legislation has essentially ended abortions in Texas. (3/)

Today I met with my executive cabinet for our monthly update on agencies, program implementation and to recap some of the recent major events around the state.

I've welcomed home 500+ National Guard soldiers & airmen from deployments around the world and across the country. A legislative rules committee approved the majority of the draft guidance for the Department of Health's medical cannabis program after months of public input.

2/5
Lastly, our Department of Education is gearing up for the first of four public hearings on new content standards for several study areas.

Yesterday, I got to welcome home the National Guard troops who were deployed to the border in Texas. We learned a lot about the border crisis, some of which the media isn't telling you. I was honored to received a flag signed by the soldiers deployed.

I gave challenge coins to thank each of them for their service and for giving an honest report of the thousands of immigrants they encountered and their efforts to intercept drug traffickers. I'm grateful to have them all home and safe.

2/4
Before I left, I got to administer a re-enlistment oath to one of the soldiers. The commitment of our South Dakota National Guard is unmatched. They really are the best in the country.

Like many South Dakotans, I have seen the reports of the terrible attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan. We are still learning the full scope of the damage, and the number of those injured or killed, but the Pentagon has confirmed Americans are among the casualties.

[THREAD] 1/6
Let me first say that my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Afghanistan -- Americans and Afghans alike. My heart breaks for the families who lost loved ones and friends today and for those who were injured in these attacks.

2/6
As we learn more details over the next 24 hours, one thing will be clear: these attacks are a result of the Biden Administration’s reckless failure to secure the situation before withdrawing troops. How we respond will come to define the Biden-Harris Administration …

My position on mask mandates has not changed. School leaders should consider the full impact on learning and social development that masks can have on children.

⬇ THREAD ⬇

1/4
It is government’s role to guide the public by providing them the science, facts, and data to make their own educated decisions. I will not be issuing any statewide directive either requiring or prohibiting masks in our schools.

2/4
Changing CDC guidelines don’t help ensure the public’s trust. I expect our schools to remain focused on in-person learning for students this fall.

America has a truly unique and wonderful history. Our nation was the first to be founded on an ideal: that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” (1/)
In pursuit of this ideal, our nation has seen many triumphs. Along the way, we’ve also made some terrible mistakes. Our triumphs have occurred when we lived up to this ideal. Our mistakes have come when we fell short. (2/)
As our children and grandchildren grow and learn, they should be taught the full picture of our nation’s history – our fundamental values, our greatest achievements, and the long struggles to overcome injustice as well. (3/)
