JUST IN: Sens. Mike Lee and Rick Scott are demanding John Thune CANCEL the August recess until the SAVE America Act becomes law, or Congress won't be back together until September 14.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. VP JD Vance just told Senate Republicans to cut the "PROCEDURAL BULLSH*T" and PASS the SAVE America Act by nuking the filibuster
"This is just weird Senate procedural BULLSH*T. There is a subsegment of people who want voter ID but won't blow up the filibuster in order to achieve it!"
"They're so MARRIED to these old world Senate procedures that they're going to make it impossible for us to pass the SAVE America."
"The filibuster basically says anything that has to do with budget is 50 votes. Everything else, non-budgetary, is 60 votes!"
"There's NO provision in the Constitution. Senators are so attached the idea that budget is 50, non-budget is 60, they're quite literally willing to PREVENT voter ID in America!"
HE NAILED IT 🔥🔥
Get it done now! VP Vance and Trump are right!
🚨 Who else is tired of seeing John Thune behind a podium on the Senate floor blaming Democrats for everything… when he could literally stop them right now by NUKING the FILIBUSTER and help save our Republic?
Weak leadership. RINO excuses.
We sent Republicans to Congress to fight, not whine from the podium while the democrats destroy.
Time to replace him with a real fighter.
Here’s Thune today doing the same old song and dance: https://t.co/8oti1oX55Y
Who’s done with this?
#FireThune #AmericaFirst #WeakGOP

“We don’t have 60 votes” is a lame excuse for not passing a bill.
Especially one that’s popular with an overwhelming supermajority of voters—across party lines.
My friend @jameswallner explains why in this excellent thread.
We are not condemned to live in a country where nothing can become law without 60 votes in the Senate.
Some modern-day Senate leaders have become addicted to that excuse.
But it’s still just a lame excuse.
If the Supreme Court is going to rule that children of illegal aliens — born in the US — obtain birthright citizenship,
then I can only conclude that America must ramp up deportation efforts & remove as many illegal aliens as possible immediately.
Upset with the SCOTUS decision today?
Call your senator at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to support my Constitutional Amendment to end Birthright Citizenship. We must protect the integrity of American citizenship.
The Demonrats crammed obamacare down our throat, which was apposed by the majority of American, but @LeaderJohnThune does not even have the balls to vote tp secure our elections.
Good. Hold him accountable. As Majority Leader, Thune answers to the whole country, not just South Dakota. Censure him. Keep us posted from the floor. 👊
@GuntherEagleman Im in @southdakota and the support for @LeaderJohnThune at a grassroot level is falling off the cliff, and among my circle, who are all strong conseratives, nobody will ever vote for him again!
I’m at the Resolutions Committee right now
& the South Dakota Republican Party is bringing up a resolution
to censure Senate Majority Leader Thune for not passing the SAVE America Act.
So this wasn’t a misunderstanding at the door.
According to this exchange, John Thune personally asked that Scott Presler not be allowed into the event even though Thune was not part of the convention committee.
When pressed on how he had the authority to remove someone, the answer was essentially that Thune “asked nicely,” had security inside, and no one wanted to challenge the Secret Service.
Scott Presler was deliberately kept out at John Thune’s request.
