Social media has become a big part of Americans’ lives. It’s a source of entertainment and information, a way to connect with friends and family, and a place to shop, do business, and advocate for causes that are important to us. But I don’t need to tell anyone that social... Continue Reading
America has always been a place where if you work hard, you can get ahead. But it’s gotten a lot more challenging in the Biden-Harris economy. Inflation has dealt working families a series of setbacks that have made it harder to get ahead. And it’s in large part due to... Continue Reading
Chief Justice John Roberts likened the job of a judge to calling balls and strikes. I think most Americans would agree with the image of courts functioning as impartial umpires. But in the last few years, as the U.S. Supreme Court has issued a handful of decisions that Democrats don’t... Continue Reading
Two years ago, Democrats in Congress passed the so-called Inflation Reduction Act. At that time, they claimed that the bill would bring down inflation and reduce the budget deficit. Two years later, it’s clear that those promises haven’t come to pass. To begin with, the bill’s title is outright deceptive.... Continue Reading

For more than three years, a crisis has been raging at the southern border. In total, 10 million illegal immigrants have come into the United States on President Biden’s watch.

With Election Day only four months away, Democrats are getting understandably nervous. After all, three years of heightened inflation, a crisis at the southern border, and global instability are not exactly an ideal record on which to run. So Democrats in the U.S. Senate are doing their best to brighten... Continue Reading
In July 1776, John Adams wrote to his wife of Independence Day, “I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations … It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent...

One year ago, the U.S. Supreme Court rightly ruled that President Biden did not have the authority to unilaterally forgive federal student loan debt. But that hasn’t stopped the president from contriving new student loan giveaways that amount to de facto loan forgiveness and will cost taxpayers hundreds of billions... Continue Reading
Agriculture is the lifeblood of South Dakota. Our state’s farmers and ranchers rise before dawn and put in the hard work necessary to feed America. As a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I have the opportunity to advocate for South Dakota producers, and the farm bills that Congress takes... Continue Reading
From his first days in office, President Biden began dismantling the border security policies of his predecessor. Illegal immigration soon began to surge, and it hasn’t stopped.
