Our freedom of speech is under attack. Trump wants to silence anyone who criticizes him as he threatens to revoke the broadcast licenses of TV networks. Contact Thune, Rounds and Johnson and demand that they protect our right to free speech.

52,000 South Dakotans rely on tax credits to pay for their health insurance. But the GOP are standing in the way of extending the program. Ask Republicans why they don't like affordable healthcare.

I am sick and tired of losing friends to political violence. I know Republicans feel the same. In this moment, we need real leadership.

If Trump gets his way, South Dakota schools will lose $18 million in federal funding. Nearly every district will face cuts. Tell Leader John Thune, Sen. Mike Rounds and Rep. Dusty Johnson to STOP the attacks on our children's education.

Leader John Thune is destroying the checks and balances that protect our government from corruption. By changing how the Senate approves presidential nominees, he is choosing unconditional loyalty to Trump over what’s best for South Dakotans. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

“…rehabilitation, dignity, and trust can form the foundation of a safer and more just system.” @kadyn-wittman.bsky.social looks at new solutions to reform our criminal justice system, focusing on dignity and rehabilitation. COLUMN: sodakdems.substack.com/p/build-dign...

Rep. Dusty Johnson is selling out SD farmers and ranchers by allowing Trump to do whatever he wants with tariffs. abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

First, the Department of Social Services took money away from families who are struggling to make ends meet. Now they want to take $10 million away from kids who need medical and behavioral health resources. Tell DSS to STOP punishing the most vulnerable South Dakotans.

Then why did you vote against a bipartisan effort to release the Epstein files?

Today we honor the nearly 3,000 people killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks as well as the first responders who rushed in to help. Together, we will never forget.

Statements from the SDDP Chair and Vice Chair on the deadly shooting of political activist Charlie Kirk.

I'm horrified by the news coming out of Utah about the attack on Charlie Kirk. Political violence has no place in our country. Not now, and not ever. Praying for him and his family.

Leader John Thune doesn't want to vote on the Epstein files in the Senate. Meanwhile, Rep. Dusty Johnson and Sen. Mike Rounds have been silent for weeks about releasing the documents. Why are you guys trying to cover up the truth? #epsteinfiles #congress #trump

@kadyn-wittman.bsky.social joined a bipartisan group of state lawmakers, urging the federal government to keep YOU safe on the road. They are calling on the USDOT to prioritize wildlife crossings to reduce crashes with animals. This is about saving lives and protecting our wildlife.

Due to a scheduling conflict, DNC Chair Ken Martin will not be able to attend the upcoming Democratic Roundup. In his place, former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison @jaimeharrison.bsky.social will be joining us and delivering remarks on behalf of the Democratic National Committee.

Another candidate has announced their bid for the Democratic nomination for U.S. House. MORE INFO: www.sddp.org/post/former-...

Leader John Thune, Senator Mike Rounds and Rep. Dusty Johnson are back in Congress. Ask them where they stand on: 1. Releasing the Epstein files 2. Extending health insurance tax credits 3. Updating the Farm Bill

Labor unions have spent decades defending worker's rights, fighting for fair wages, and preventing harassment and discrimination in the workplace. But Trump and Republicans are trying to weaken those efforts. The SD Democratic Party stands with unions and their advocacy for YOU the American worker.

South Dakota has already lost several rural nursing homes. We can't keep doing this to our seniors and their families.

This Labor Day weekend, several groups are stepping up to support unions and help their communities. You can join rallies in Sioux Falls, Aberdeen and Rapid City. They're also collecting donations for non-profits. Send a message this weekend that you stand by labor unions!

⏰REMINDER⏰ Join former USDA Rural Development State Director Nikki Gronli for two listening sessions at the SD State Fair in Huron. She wants to hear from YOU about the issues that matter most.

“…the push to eliminate small and individual farming operations is in full swing.” Column by SDDP National Committeeman Dennis Olson: sodakdems.substack.com/p/trump-gop-...

Thanks to Trump and his so-called "trade deals", South Dakota families will have to pay more to send their kids back to school. 🎒Backpacks $$$ 📝 Pencils $$$ 📓Notebooks $$$

Leader John Thune is complaining that Democrats are getting in the way of confirming Trump's appointees. Sorry John, but Trump doesn't have a good track record of picking the "best" people. So yeah, Democrats should be scrutinizing each one of them.

If there's a South Dakota Public Broadcasting program that you love that ends up being cut, you can thank Leader John Thune, Senator Mike Rounds and Rep. Dusty Johnson. Statement from @erikmuckey.bsky.social: www.sddp.org/post/south-d...

So, now we're listening to a dictator about how to run elections? Mail-in ballots allow rural, elderly and disabled South Dakotans to vote. Don’t let their voices be silenced.

The power grab by Texas Republicans will spread to more states. We already have so few Democrats in Pierre - don't let the GOP rig the maps here in South Dakota too. #gerrymandering #Texas #elections

BREAKING: Texas Rep. Nicole Collier tells us she was just forced to leave a DNC press call and threatened with a FELONY charge if she didn’t comply. Republicans are out of control.

Talk about being delusional... www.kotatv.com/2025/08/20/s...

Democratic policies are about uplifting everyone, no matter who you are. We have a small but mighty force of Democrats in Pierre who are creating new opportunities, protecting Tribal sovereignty and defending your rights.

Tickets are now on sale for the 2025 Democratic Roundup in Rapid City featuring keynote speaker DNC Chair Ken Martin. TICKETS: secure.actblue.com/donate/demro...

"We are excited to announce DNC Chair Ken Martin as the keynote speaker for Democratic Roundup in Rapid City on September 27th! Ken is doing incredible work to organize and mobilize Democrats across the country. Ticket go on sale Friday."

Is this what Trump meant by an "economic golden age"? Fewer jobs, higher costs and an uncertain ag market -- this doesn't feel like winning.

The SD Democratic Party stands with Texas Democrats as they fight against Republicans’ shameless attempts to cling to power & gerrymander the Texas map. This is the latest attack to disenfranchise voters and rig the system. This will have ripple effects across the country.

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! Attend the Sioux Falls City Council meeting tonight at 6pm and tell them how Operation Prairie Thunder will hurt our communities. Gov. Rhoden is spreading fear among immigrant families, all in the name of political theater. This is not how our taxpayer money should be spent.

We’ve been warning Texas Republicans for weeks that if they want a showdown, we’d give them a showdown. That’s exactly what Texas Democrats did today. The DNC will proudly fight alongside them to stop this anti-democratic assault.

There continues to be public outcry over Gov. Rhoden's attack on immigrants in South Dakota with "Operation Prairie Thunder". @erikmuckey.bsky.social lays it out very clearly -- this is not about public safety, it's about fear and political theater.
