@SamFarringtonNH Keep up the good work!

Wait until P-Hustle figures out he was used like a donkey, rode hard and put away wet. It’s all so very familiar. Was it political malpractice or are they just that incompetent?

Tasked with a near impossible challenge - or sister state to the east - the Maine Dems - have pulled it off!

The Maine Democratic Party has striven to create the most inclusive, representative, and open process possible under these unprecedented circumstances.

This is the most open and inclusive process I have ever heard of or seen a state party use to replace a nominee. It is the absolute best possible process they could have put together under these circumstances.

The stakes are incredibly high, and up against a timeline that they did not choose and the realities of Maine state law.

The state party is making sure that the voices of those who supported Platner’s campaign and his message are heard, as well as the voices of Mainers of different perspectives and diverse backgrounds.

The absolute best part is that the process does not favor any one candidate.

The events of the last few weeks have been heartbreaking to Mainers across the state.

Now, they have to rally and come together. Their eventual nominee will be starting from
square one with a very short time to launch a general election campaign against the dreadful Susan Collins. They will need all hands on deck in Maine and across the country to support them, and to win this Senate seat—that is the most important thing!

Congratulations to my colleagues at @MaineDems - the Maine Democratic Party! Let’s win this!

Biden Harris 2.0. Now this is democracy folks!

[Maine Democrats @MaineDems]

Today, MDP Chair Charlie Dingman, is announcing the process to fill the Senate nominee vacancy. Maine Democrats have issued a call to hold a nominating convention on July 25, during which 601 delegates will vote on the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate.

@EricLDaugh How much longer will it take for someone in DC to get a grip? There never will be a deal. @POTUS Finish the job!

Hey @FoxNews please get rid of the stupid audio ad on your app. Or you’re getting DELETED!

Notice how this scumbag runs his mouth without having been in this hero’s literal shoes. Run of the mill, big mouth, know-it-all jackass. https://t.co/HW9ynjctc2

Should the Senate reconvene immediately and stay in session as long as it takes to (1) fully fund DHS, and (2) pass the SAVE America Act?

[Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut]

THIS!!! He’s not weak. He’s a TRAITOR!!

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

No one will trust the Senate if John Thune isn’t removed. He lost any legitimacy the Senate had left.

He must be replaced.

[Tim Burchett @timburchett]

In my opinion, the Senate needs guts and new leadership.

[Bill Day 🇺🇸 @closduday]

@LeaderJohnThune should step
out of the majority leadership immediately. He’s a total unadulterated failure. The longer @POTUS tolerates him, the more mud he splashes on the President’s shoes.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

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.

[Bill Day 🇺🇸 @closduday]

@JonathanTurley Oh please! He is the poster child for everything bad about prosecutors today. He was nothing more than a win at all costs beltway grifter.

[Bill Day 🇺🇸 @closduday]

@Ghostofcynthia Ouch!

[Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke]

Pay attention to all the so-called conservatives chastising Trump for calling it like it is. They either understood nothing, especially what the Mueller “investigation” actually was, a full-blown coup that destroyed countless innocent lives, or they are phonies angling for brownie points from the left. Either way, it’s a good day to take note of who falls into which category.

[Bill Day 🇺🇸 @closduday]

@shipwreckedcrew Seems the political zealots and really good at choosing “rapidly declining elderly” men to do their dirty work.

[Bill Day 🇺🇸 @closduday]

The chattering, country club class says:

[Brit Hume @brithume]

This is the kind of stuff Trump does that makes people not just oppose him but hate him. There was no need to say anything.

[Bill Day 🇺🇸 @closduday]

@AndrewCMcCarthy Maybe you find it offensive to the chattering class, but @POTUS statement is completely true.

[Bill Day 🇺🇸 @closduday]

@ScottPresler @spoiled_the How do you explain the feckless R’s who won’t vote for it? What are they petrified by?

[Bill Day 🇺🇸 @closduday]

@maziehirono Opposite Day in Hawaii huh?
