@lynssss3125 Been in Oakland County most of my life and graduated from WB in 94. I bet it is worse now with school of choice. We started to homeschool our son after Covid, could not deal with what Southfield was teaching kids on zoom.
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.

Tom Homan on the media:
"If they knew what I knew, if they wore my shoes, if they stood in the back of a tractor trailer like I did surrounded by 19 dead people who baked to death, including a 5-year-old little boy, who begged his father not to let him die.
When they talk to little girls like I have as young as 9-years-old that have been raped multiple times by members of the Cartel, and you see everything innocent and pure within her has been stolen and she has no faith in humanity anymore, her life will never be the same. Wear my shoes for four decades and see the travesties I've seen."
@libsoftiktok He is a POS that took over Talib old district in Dearborn, it was reported he used to do testing on dogs before he was elected. Idiots still voted him in.

When you go to Vote, remember this.
Remember the start of the pandemic?
Cops chased people who paddled in the ocean, sat alone in cars, or played catch outdoors.
Swimmers were ordered to wear masks in pools.
It’s important we don’t forget how AUTHORITARIAN politicians are eager to be:
