This is the best thing I have seen all day. Not to be missed.

@NC_Governor Half of what you just said is a lie. If your friends hadn't opened the border for 4 years, this wouldn't be a problem. So, you're balking at the "not state owned and you didn't approve"or you hate ICE and Border Patrol. Which is it?

@ShawnRyan762 You're gullible as hell, Shawn. You can tell he's full of shit and trying to recesitate his image and credibility.

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.

There is zero chance that Trump’s Iran actions will fracture the GOP. There is metaphysical certitude that failing to pass the Save America Act will. I talk to these voters, John Thune has no idea how angry they are.

@marklevinshow I’m embarrassed that Tillis is my senator.
Burr and Tillis - how did NC elect such weak officials.

How are we suppose to deport the 10 million people Biden let flood the country?

Tillis, is this how you prove your manhood?  Sick lunatic.

Hey Thune -

This post has almost 9,000 RTs and 40,000 likes because you won’t pass Voter ID.

Wake up - the GOP base is completely turning against you and for good reason.

MY MESSAGE TO @LeaderJohnThune: Do your job and pass the SAVE America Act or GET THE FCK OUT OF THE WAY.

Americans overwhelmingly support having SECURE ELECTIONS.

No more excuses!

North Carolina Republicans and independents need to turn out in this election. North Carolina can’t let Roy Cooper anywhere near an elected office. Cast your ballot for a real Conservative warrior not another RINO or a lying Democrat. Vote for Don Brown for US Senate!

@RepKnott @AGPamBondi @HarmeetKDhillon If this is indeed true, can the U.S. DOJ look into ways to force Mecklenburg County to comply with state law. @JeffJacksonNC who is our AG should step up and force this issue but he is a woke progressive democrat who is soft on crime. Thank you!
