The bill to defund the Taliban is collecting dust on Senator John Thune’s desk while he claims he “hasn’t seen it.” Ask your Senators to pass this bill. Thanks, @joerogan 🇺🇸
REP. BURCHETT ON HIS TALIBAN FUNDING BILL: “IF THEY’RE NOT DOING IT, WHY WON’T THEY PASS IT?”
@RepTimBurchett is blasting the Senate for failing to act on his bill to stop U.S. taxpayer dollars from reaching the Taliban - nearly a year after it passed the House.
When told that Senate Majority @LeaderJohnThune said he hadn't seen the bill and that NO VOTE is currently scheduled, Burchett wasn't buying the excuses.
“$40 million a week... and if they're not doing it, then why the heck won't they just pass it anyway?”
Burchett suggested too many people have a stake in keeping the money flowing and questioned why the Senate continues to delay action.
When asked by @Alisonintheknow whether he believed Thune's claim that he hadn't seen the bill, Burchett replied:
“I personally asked him about it.”
“I just don't think he cares. It's not a top priority.”
The bill passed the House. The question now is: Why is it collecting dust in the Senate while millions continue flowing into Afghanistan?
There are a lot of stupid people in Illinois. The Bears are gone because of this trust fund Socialist loser. I do not get how anyone could vote for this trash. Life in Illinois sucks because of him. Let's make Illinois great again and flip it red. Vote for Darren Bailey.
🚨Did a THUNE Staffer Resign in DISGUST?
A former staffer reportedly claims John Thune is blocking President Trump’s nominees and working against the America First agenda behind closed doors.
I’m not shocked! Thune’s actions support this claim.
If Thune is sabotaging the agenda Republicans were elected to deliver, he must be removed.
👋🏻Hands up if ur sick of exposing corruption and fraud every damn day and NOT ONE of these crooks is in prison or held accountable!
🚨BREAKING: Former John Thune staffer just resigned in disgust and blew the whistle — claims the RINO Senate Majority Leader is gleefully sabotaging President Trump’s nominees and agenda.
Thune is accused of stonewalling every single appointment, launching vulgar anti-Trump rants behind closed doors, and actively coordinating with McConnell and Schumer to undermine the Trump administration.
This isn’t incompetence — it’s deliberate betrayal from the top Republican in the Senate.
Time to fire Thune NOW.
MAGA Senators: Do your job and remove this turncoat before he does any more damage.
What should happen to Thune for this betrayal? Drop your thoughts 👇
Endless lies. I never thought defunding the Taliban would be this difficult. John Thune can hold a vote tomorrow on the No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act if he wants to.
Thank you for pushing back, @timburchett.

WHY THE HELL AM I PAYING TAXES TO A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT:
>CANNOT DEFUND THE TALBAN
>CANNOT SECURE OUR ELECTIONS
>CANNOT BALANCE A BUDGET
>CANNOT READ THE BILLS THEY VOTE ON
>CANNOT PASS TERM LIMITS
>CANNOT PASS DOGE CUTS
WHY ARE WE PAYING TAXES?!!!!!!
The Senate is blocking legislation that would stop $40 million per week from going to the Taliban. It has not even scheduled a vote. Why would any Senator oppose defunding the Taliban?
🚨 OUTRAGEOUS RINO BETRAYAL! 🚨
Rep. Tim Burchett just torched Senate Leader John Thune: Why the HELL has the House bill to STOP American taxpayer dollars from funding the TALIBAN been collecting dust for 11 MONTHS with ZERO action?!
Thune admitted on camera he hadn’t even read it.
Every week of this BS = $40 MILLION of YOUR hard-earned money flowing straight to terrorists!
Trump voters didn’t elect Republicans to fund our enemies while they sleep. This is pathetic.
DEMAND A VOTE NOW! Fire up your Senators and make them act.
Share if you’re DONE with this weak garbage! Tag your Senators!
Recent claims that cash shipments to Taliban’s Central Bank have stopped are completely false. The Senate hasn’t voted on our bill to defund the Taliban. Cash shipments to the Taliban have not stopped. When they do, I will tell you. Thank you.
There are craters on the moon smoother than Illinois highways. $3.3 billion sitting in the road fund. Gas tax doubled. And somehow your commute still feels like off-roading.
Where's the money going, JB?
Senate republicans did it again. They gaveled in a proforma senate session for the sole purpose of stop Trump recess appointments
Do we need to know any more than this that @leaderthune and the @senategop are enemies to MAGA?
This time @SenThomTillis did the dirty deed for Thune
They did it earlier than scheduled to avoid any negative press
You don’t hate these @gop traitors enough.
Private school for my kid. Public school for yours. The teachers union doesn't mind. As long as he votes their way, his kid can go wherever he wants.
Yours can't.
