John Thune is still telling voters why it can't be done.

Instead of figuring out how to get it done.

Protecting rules that protect failure isn't leadership.

It's Swamp management.

SAVE America 🇺🇸

Remove John Thune.

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

If GOP Senators can’t remove one man blocking the agenda, what exactly is the majority for?

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

Mitch McConnell-era politics are exactly why the Republican base stopped trusting Senate leadership.

Leadership isn't measured by excuses.

It's measured by results.

The Senate still has a choice.

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

@GuntherEagleman @SenateGOP @LeaderJohnThune @GOPSenate
Remove Thune or be removed.

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

@FFT1776 X likes to cap growth. It's almost like how liberals like to cap success.

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

@SenateGOP isn't doing their job, to represent the will of the people who elected them.

If JD Vance wants to be President then he should show us that he can lead his Senate.

If you want to charge @vp to put his superior debate skills to work and lead Republican Senators to remove John Thune, then make your voices heard 🇺🇲

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

@GigaBeers I know. It's hard to believe that our Senate Majority Leader is actively working against us.

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

@4familyfreedom4 @SenateGOP @VP Just reposted this.

On the money as usual 💪💯🇺🇲

Democratic and Republican Senate Leadership use powers the Constitution does not give them, these are the Most Powerful Senators who can stall an America First agenda without a public recorded vote

Thune and the committee chairs have no constitutional grant of power to bury bills that protect the public. Their blocking power is custom plus conference discipline

Real power in the Senate now sits with a handful of people: party leaders and committee chairs. The Constitution gave lawmaking to all 100 Senators. Custom gave the gavel to a few

How the stack works in practice
✅Conference elects Thune, hands out committees, confirms chairs, enforces alignment.
✅Chairs (Collins, Crapo, Grassley, Johnson, Cassidy, and others) can ignore a bill, skip a hearing, rewrite text, or delay forever. Rule XXV creates committees. It does not give chairs a written veto. Custom does.
✅Thune decides whether anything that survives committee ever reaches the floor.
✅Barrasso / Crapo count the 53 and punish stray votes.
✅Schumer, as Minority Leader, can delay, place holds, threaten a filibuster, and extract concessions — the other half of the Garner pairing

Thune and Barrasso decide whether a bill ever gets a vote

That is why spending, taxes, judges, health care, nominations, and foreign policy are often shaped before the full Senate votes

Party Leadership Agenda/Floor Control
These jobs run the Senate’s daily operation
A small group can make sure:
✅a bill is never scheduled
✅an amendment is blocked
✅no hearing is held
✅no markup occurs
✅no recorded vote is taken

Majority Leader John Thune controls
the floor schedule, unanimous-consent agreements, the amendment tree, the motion to proceed, cloture timing, and when votes happen
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer can delay, place holds, threaten a filibuster, and extract concessions
That leadership-first recognition system is the 1937 Garner Precedent. It is custom. It is not Article I. It is not Senate Rule XIX

Party conference is the GOP’s private operating system: it picks the leader, hands out committees, confirms chairs, and enforces alignment

House–Senate conference is different. That is how a bill is merged after both chambers vote. Neither conference is Article I, Rule XIX, or a constitutional veto

The rest of leadership keeps the conference roughly aligned
John Thune, John Barrasso, Tom Cotton,Shelley Moore Capito, James Lankford, Tim Scott
Rick Scott, and Mike Crapo

Committee chairs: the other gate
Rule XXV creates committees. It does not give chairs a written veto.
By custom, chairs can:
✅ignore a bill
✅skip hearings
✅rewrite text
✅delay forever
Major gatekeepers include:
Susan Collins, Mike Crapo, Chuck Grassley, Ron Johnson, and Bill Cassidy

What the written rules actually say
✅Rule XIX is the written recognition-and-debate rule. Each Senator’s right to be heard is the constitutional design — not the leader’s custom.
✅Rule XXII governs cloture and which motions come first.
✅Rule XXV organizes committees. It does not transfer the Senate’s lawmaking power to one chair.
The Constitution gives lawmaking to all 100 Senators — not to one Leader and not to committee chairs. Informal custom now decides what moves and what dies.

The stall
The most powerful Senate jobs for influencing policy control:
✅the legislative agenda
✅the floor schedule
✅spending
✅taxes
✅nominations

If these four are not known together, the oath is theater:
The Constitution
The rule of law
The written Senate rules — XIX, XXII, and XXV
The Federalist Papers — why the Constitution was written that way
Officials who never read the Federalist Papers treat factions, parties, and customs as if those were the Constitution.

@mickitiki Lol 😂

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

@MJTruthUltra I was a @foxnews diehard since day one but they lost my loyalty on this one.

They were on thin ice as it was because they refused to cover the voter's frustration with John Thune and the GOP Senate.

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

@MikeBales I thought Reddington was excellent during the trial but his closing argument sucked so bad!

He should've focused on the issues, his world renowned expert opinion and what reasonable doubt means.

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

@jyparkway @LeaderJohnThune Thune doesn't care what we want.

We need to be asking our Republican Senators to vote him out.

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

@Philly_Vibe @SenateGOP @VP Also, would you mind hitting the ❤️ like button? 🙏

I just finished a super rushed move and the algo has squashed my visibility. 😁

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

@Philly_Vibe Every senator that gaveled in for pro forma needs to be primaried in 2028.

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

@Philly_Vibe @SenateGOP @VP Love this 💪💯🇺🇲

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

@SenateGOP @VP The Vice President isn’t just ceremonial in the Senate.
If the SAVE Act matters, now would be a good time to prove it.

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

In case it wasn't clear, Kevin Reddington is ready to do this all over again as soon as possible.

Lindsay Clancy hit the jackpot landing him.

If he reworks his case to focus on reasonable doubt, ala Karen Reed round 2, he stands a good chance.

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

Tuesday September 29th is the next court date to determine how the Lindsay Clancy case is handled moving forward.

Regardless of which side you're on, what a gut punch for the defense.

Knowing you're 1 juror from Not guilty during deliberations is unprecedented.

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

Apparently Kevin Reddington, Lindsay Clancy's attorney is highly regarded in Massachusetts and considered one of the best.

Expect him to be busy filing motions on appeal regarding the juror who he believes was holding out because he doesn't believe in mental health as a defense.
Which isn't appropriate for an unbiased juror in a case based upon a mental health defense.

With 11-1 in favor of the defense will the Commonwealth retry this or go for a plea?

Will Reddington even accept a plea?

It's extremely uncommon for attorneys to know the jury breakdown during trial...

[MAGAMicki 🇺🇲 @MickioffScript]

🚨Mistrial declared.

✔️ Will the Commonwealth recharge Lindsay Clancy with 1st degree murder or a lesser charge thereby opening the door for a bench trial?

✔️ Does the defense want another jury trial since it was 11-1 in their favor?

✔️ I'll be following appeal motions.

Stay tuned....
