Scott Presler just brought it up: the Senate Parliamentarian serves at the pleasure of the Majority Leader and can be dismissed at ANY moment, no Senate vote required.
Thune has the sole authority to fire and replace Elizabeth MacDonough today.
So why doesn't he?
She’s been a consistent roadblock to the Trump agenda and the will of the voters.
If the leader won’t use the power he has, maybe it’s time we find new leadership who will.
Fire her.
Pass the agenda.
No more hiding behind the parliamentarian.
@libsoftiktok@boswellhs 2022 stabbing. Last year, student walkouts to protest ice. Now a groomer teacher coming out to children. I’ve never been happier to have my son out of that school district.

@libsoftiktok@boswellhs@GregAbbott_TX and @KenPaxtonTX, this should not be normalized or allowed in Texas, I am not saying anything about her being one, but this should not be a state funded message to students.
When I was in K-12 (a long time ago) we didn't even know if most of the teachers were married or not. That's how much they DIDN'T talk about their personal lives.
LGBTQs are all Marxist activists now and obsessed with sex to the point of addiction. Like all addicts they can't help themselves.
Meet Abigale Freeman, a math teacher and coach at @boswellhs in TX. She posted a tiktok online about how she came out to her students and discusses her lesbian relationship to "normalize" it to children.
Any comment @boswellhs?
🚨New: Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn tells CNN’s Manu Raju that he has much more freedom to go against President Trump now:
“Are you kidding? Of course. Absolutely. My liberation day: May 26.”
BREAKING: In an attempt to make himself appear like less of a radical freak James Talarico is trying to walk back his position on child mutilation.
Texans remember.
If the President and Vice President are required to be natural born citizens, so should our Representatives, Senators, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers.
We just introduced a constitutional amendment to make sure of it.
If you hold power in this government, your loyalty is to America. Not any other country.
Too many foreign born members of this government, like Ilhan Omar, have made clear, time and again, their loyalty is not here. This amendment is long overdue.
America FIRST. Always.
Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough was FIRST appointed in 2012
by democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Why in the world would Republicans keep someone that Harry Reid chose?
@johnkonrad The thing to remember about Thune is he has chosen the path of least resistance as a leader. Whatever he can do to maintain the plastic-wrapped status quo he inherited, he will do. He is deaf to any & all suggestions otherwise. Not only will he not fire her, he will listen to her
Let me put this as plainly as I can.
The parliamentarian is a staffer.
And staffers are like journalists: petty, self-important, vindictive, and above all self-protecting.
Firing her would be like firing Scott Pelley. The outrage would reverberate through every office in Congress.
The two differences is that, unlike talking heads, staffers have real power.
And they hate the spotlight.
