🚨 WOW! Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just OBLITERATED Dr. Fauci for lying about the COVID vaccine, getting a PULMONARY side effect and HIDING IT from us

"He got vaccinated very publicly...then 5 months later, we know from the diary, he had a pulmonary INFARCTION! HE NEVER TOLD ANYBODY." 🤯

"He got treated by the best doctors in America while he told everyone that was NOT an adverse event."

"MILLIONS of people injured. He lied about masks. He lied about social distancing. He lied about transmission. He lied about natural immunity. He lied about the capacity of vaccines to prevent infection."

Fauci must face LEGAL accountability.

[Liz Wheeler @Liz_Wheeler]

We were… right.

- Social distancing was a hoax
- Masks were a joke
- Lockdowns were worthless
- mRNA jabs were dangerous
- Case fatality rate was low
- Ivermectin worked
- Hydroxychloroquine also worked
- Remdesivir was a killer
- COVID came from the Wuhan lab
- Fauci funded it

Fauci lied about it all.

Fauci lied to profit himself.

Fauci abused YOU to bolster his ego, money, and power.

Put the despicable villain in prison.

It’s not unreasonable to suggest we should vote on whether to take a long August recess

It’s not “demoralizing to the Republican base” to say “let’s set aside enough time to give the SAVE America Act a fighting chance”

To the contrary, this is what voters—in both parties—want

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

My colleague from South Dakota suggests here that the talking filibuster hasn’t been used in a century, and that it was not used to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

He’s mistaken.

As I’ve explained to the entire Senate GOP on multiple occasions, the talking filibuster *was* used effectively to break the weeks-long filibuster mounted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Leader Thune and others point out that the Senate ultimately invoked cloture on the Civil Rights Act, and on that basis wrongly conclude that the talking filibuster was *not* the tool used to achieve that victory.

This argument ignores the fact that this is *how* the Senate closed a staggering 30-vote cloture deficit in 1964. After many weeks of fighting a losing battle, filibustering senators predictably started to lose their resolve to hold up the bill indefinitely, especially when they realized how hard they’d have to work to keep the effort alive.

So they started proposing and supporting amendments to the bill to make it more palatable and help them save face.

I still maintain that this is a viable approach that could work well—even better—in the context of the SAVE America Act, especially considering that the bill is less complicated and less controversial with voters than was the Civil Rights Act, and currently has a cloture deficit of only 10 votes—tiny compared to the 30-vote deficit faced by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

My colleague also mistakenly suggests that Senate Republicans would have to vote to enforce the talking filibuster. That simply isn’t true; no vote is required for this step. All we need is a majority leader willing to announce that we’re getting on the bill and that we will continue to debate it until it passes—all with the understanding that if filibustering senators fail to show up to debate it, we can “call the question” and pass it with a simple majority.

That understanding, in turn, is what motivates the filibustering senators to show up and speak, but it’s also what naturally causes them to tire of the exercise after a few weeks, at which point they start looking for a face-saving off-ramp.

Finally, Leader Thune suggests that the talking filibuster would be thwarted by being “reset” every time Democrats offered an amendment. There’s a valid point in there, but it’s not a good reason not to invoke the talking filibuster. It appears he’s referring indirectly to paragraph 1(a) of Senate Rule 19 (the two-speech rule). While offering a new amendment can create a new question under longstanding practice, the September 25, 1986 precedent narrowed how rigidly the two-speech rule is applied by clarifying that many procedural actions do not count as speeches at all.

Particularly in light of that 1986 clarification, it’s been a long time since I’ve suggested we consider rigid enforcement of Rule 19’s two-speech limit as part of a talking filibuster strategy for the SAVE America Act. We don’t need it!

Nor was that rule aggressively enforced during the Senate’s consideration of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Majority Leader Mike Mansfield correctly focused on requiring actual debate from filibustering senators rather than looking for technical ways to shut the debate down.

To give credit where it’s due, I appreciate what Leader Thune said in this interview about the possibility of passing some iteration of SAVE America using budget reconciliation—a procedure in which there is no 60-vote cloture hurdle. I’ve been skeptical of this approach in the past, but I’m starting to believe the SAVE America Act has more budgetary features than I initially considered possible.

That said, reconciliation is fraught with all kinds of problems, challenges, risks, and uncertainties. Also, failure can be far too easy to blame on the parliamentarian.

I’m open to considering the reconciliation path, but we should make this decision with our eyes open. To do that, we need to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the talking filibuster.

[Coach Tommy Tuberville @SenTuberville]

The Senate has done NOTHING to deserve a five-week break. We haven’t funded the military, we are about to let Democrats shut down the government, and our elections STILL aren’t secure. The House has passed hundreds of bills. Other than the One Big Beautiful Bill, all the Senate has done is pass bills rebuking Trump and giving Democrats handouts. We have lost sight of the fact that our job is to deliver RESULTS for the American people.

There is no issue I hear more about when I’m back home in Alabama than securing our elections. Under Communists Joe Biden and Barack Obama, more than 15 MILLION third-world illegals invaded our country. These illegals are costing the American taxpayers billions of dollars and are planning to vote in our midterm elections in just 99 days.

Because of this, the ‘traditions of the Senate’ should no longer apply. The American people didn’t vote for a Republican party obsessed with preserving their own power through the manufactured filibuster. They voted for a Republican party that campaigned on fighting back against the TENS OF MILLIONS of third-world illegals who came here under Joe Biden and are looking to destroy this country.

If we do not pass the SAVE America Act before November, Democrats will steal the 2026 and 2028 elections, and we will go back to Joe Biden’s immigration policy on steroids under the new Communist Democrat party. Now is the time to dig in, eliminate the manufactured filibuster, and start a new Senate tradition of actually getting things done for the Constitution and the American people.

I’ll be joining Senator Mike Lee in voting against any attempts to adjourn for recess. Americans didn’t send us to D.C. to take a vacation. They sent us here to preserve the greatest country on Earth.

EXCLUSIVE: Senate GOP leaders are circulating talking points aimed at quashing the internal revolt over the SAVE America Act, according to a document obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller.

The document outlines potential questions from the media and offers guidance for members’ responses on several topics, including the GOP’s marquee election-integrity legislation, the SAVE America Act. The document, created by the Senate Republican Conference (SRC), is titled “Conference Prep.”

You don't beat communism by telling a 19-year-old it doesn't work.

You beat it by building.

Rubio's Cuba report, the fight buried at Casablanca, and the 1,055-km highway in Morocco that proves the point.

CNN lays out how poorly Americans view Democrats:

“In 2026…we’re talking 24 points underwater…One reason why the Democratic brand is so terrible…the clear majority of Americans believe…that the Democratic Party is too liberal. 57%…This is a massive, massive problem.”
