Nerd. I mostly respond to others tweets, but may sometimes post my own stuff if I need to write something even more boring or ill advised in longer form.
I’m invigorated.
Just went to the Walmart off of Lacrosse Street in Rapid City
& had 10 different people — including families — positively approach me.
They saw the video & how I was treated unfairly at the dinner.
I told each of them that I was simply here to help pass the SAVE America Act.
They said that they won’t be supporting Senator Thune in 2028.
I also asked them to vote in the gubernatorial runoff on Tuesday, July 28th.
Thank you to every single person that had my back — it means the world.
That one video reached more South Dakota voters in 24 hours than I could have knocked in 24 months.
@JohnCornyn And I marvel at the old ruling class that has had their heads up their own asses for so long that they have fallen in love with the smell of their own shit.
Thune is again using pro-forma sessions to make pretend the Senate is still in session, to block Trumps recess appts
Join me in calling on Trump to use the power vested in him, under (Art- II- Sec,3) to call the Senate back into session... until they Pass the Save America Act
Let me explain to you how it works then; when 85% of the population wants something, you let them have it. If it turns out to be a disaster, then 85% of the population will want something else...then you let them have that. You're not a gatekeeper. You're not smarter than everyone else. Your opinion of what will happen if the SAVE Act is passed is as much of a guess as the rest of us. That's how it works. You were sent to Washington to represent your constituents in Texas, not the constituents in John Thune's South Dakota. This is not a 50-50 issue in Texas, so your personal opinion doesn't matter. That's why Ken Paxton will be taking your job in January. If you're right, and we're wrong, then we'll reverse course and go another route. But it's not your job to force your will on us. It's your job to force OUR will on the Senate.

An amazing lesson in showing up and regarding the @ScottPresler dust up in SD and the “golden ticket”.
Back story - I told my wife I wanted to come to SD to in part, meet Scott, do what I could to help bring pressure regarding the Save America Act, and take the temperature of Republicans on the ground in SD to see what they thought of the majority leader. (Poll results coming soon in @trailertrshnews).
I luckily got to meet Scott and he is all class in person and just radiates energy.
We were discussing the situation and he expressed a desire to go to the social event/dinner after the SDGOP meetings were concluded for the day.
Scott didn’t have a ticket, but I did. BTW - I registered as independent press (for Trailer Trash News) - and nowhere did the registration indicate that press were not welcome.
I felt it was more important for Scott to be in the room than myself. No one knows me - but Scott’s very presence creates pressure.
So I gave him my ticket, and gladly. He called it “the golden ticket”, and as this dust up has shown - even though he didn’t get to attend - the political outcome has indeed been golden for anyone that cares about holding our elected leaders accountable.
Showing up is half the battle. When you show up a world of opportunities may present themselves that would not be available if you stayed home on the couch.
It’s an important lesson for anyone who thinks that they can’t make a difference.
Show up - and let the universe decide.
@Chicago1Ray@realDonaldTrump It's actually really starting to irritate how much softball Trump continues to play with Thune. He needs to up the pressure, quite significantly, IMO. Calling them back into session right now would be a good step in that direction.
John Thune is proving exactly why he should NEVER be Senate Majority Leader. The way he’s treating Scott Pressler — a absolute workhorse and backbone of this party — is disgusting. Resign, you scumbag.
@SecMullinDHS@LeaderJohnThune@DHSgov@ICEgov An intelligent man would be distancing himself from Thune right now, not aligning yourself with him. His political career is going the way of the Titanic, not a good idea to be helping him rearrange the deck chairs.
Attacking @ScottPresler is career suicide! Scott has more support than most politicians could ever dream of. @LeaderJohnThune I would highly suggest you make a public apology to Scott or your political career is over.
Actually, nevermind. We're done with apologies. Your actions were loud and clear. The American people will show you how much we support Scott.
I call for the immediate removal of John Thune as Senate Leader.
Not only for the way he treated Scott but also for his refusal to bring the Save America Act to a vote.
Thune is a corrupted DC swamp creature who deceives the American people daily.
REMOVE THUNE!!
