@dunlap4congress So why are you taxing it?

[Rep. Laurel Libby @laurel_libby]

Tomorrow! Our Turn the Tide Fall Festival, 10 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon.

JT Reid's, 24 Garfield Road in Auburn. Free, bring the whole family, there's a band!

Feeling FOMO? You should be, you won't want to miss this one!

[GrayMonsta @GrayMonstah]

@dunlap4congress Gas is expensive because President Trump is completing a job long overdue. Heating oil is $7 a gallon because of the war in Ukraine. Biden’s war. Don’t talk about shit you clearly know nothing about.

[Rep. Laurel Libby @laurel_libby]

$1 BILLION dollar shortfall in Augusta!! That means @GovJanetMills and Augusta Democrats spent TOO MUCH MONEY!

[Rep. Laurel Libby @laurel_libby]

Do you have an extra $1,000 laying around that you want to give the state??

[Steve Robinson @SteveRob]

We did that.

Now we have a $1,300,000,000 budget shortfall because you and Janet don’t know how to balance a check book.

Hello Senator Thune,

At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP.

Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept.

You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to.

You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to.

You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to.

Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats.

Let's be precise about what you did:

1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer.
2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM.
3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding.

The precedent you set:

You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins.

But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered:

• Voice vote to avoid accountability
• Empty chamber to avoid debate
• Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny
• Immediate recess to avoid questions

You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one.

What you've actually accomplished:

Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded.

Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded.

And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning.
The question you should answer:

Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM?

Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record?

You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like.

Here's my message: We saw it anyway.

Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome.

Own it.
