@TheBabylonBee I get the feeling Dems picked him to run against Collins so it appears that they’re against the “Republican.” They know he’ll lose, but Collin’s remaining in the Senate is their end goal. I’d bet Dems are the ones releasing the dirt on him.
@ScottPresler The House has pledged not to sign anything from the senate unless the SAVE act is passed. They’re painted in a corner here. If they don’t sign it, it’ll look bad but if they do the Senate will realize they wear the pants in this dysfunctional relationship.
@timburchett So many people have fled the state of CA that they have less staff to manufacture fake ballots. Excuse them if it takes a little longer to get the results they need this time.
@mitchellvii@mattvanswol Matt got this one right, it’s all of them. Notice how none of them object to pro forma sessions, even though all of their voters do?
@elonmusk@america Why aren’t Democrat voters up in arms with their “representatives” like Republicans are? They support this issue too and their senators should be facing primary losses just like ours.
Introduction
This spares nothing. Not a fucking thing. Congress is beyond fixable.
The 535 who sit in Congress are not representatives.
They are a parasitic class that has colonized the machinery Washington bled to create and turned it into a feeding trough for donors, foreign interests, and their own perpetual power.
This is not policy failure.
It is institutional pathology…a legislative body that no longer fears the people it claims to serve and has therefore become the enemy of the republic it was meant to protect.
Washington would have recognized the pattern immediately.
He hanged spies and shot mutineers because he understood that internal betrayal is more lethal than any foreign army.
Jefferson named the remedy in plain language…the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
The current Congress has made its choice.
It has chosen to become the tyrant.
Every last one of them must go. Root and branch.
There is no reform left that can save what they have already sold.
The only question is whether the American people still possess the spine to do what the founders would have done when the forms of government became the instrument of its own destruction.
This piece is not an argument.
It is the only conclusion left.
Period.

It failed by design, and you know it. You attach your name to it in the hopes in keeps you in the game in 2028, but you knew Thune had 4 with nothing to lose by voting no. The senate is a charade, you all need to go. If you were America first you’d stop pro forma sessions or lead the fight to oust Thune. Instead you are reduced to theatrical half-measures. Coward.
