When Senate Democrats can filibuster without paying the price—that is, without standing on the floor and speaking, knowing that when they stop speaking we can pass pending legislation with a simple majority—we relinquish far too much power to them.
We should make them speak.
The Good:
We confirmed Todd Blanche as Attorney General.
We passed a CR to fund the government through early December.
At the encouragement of President Trump, we will revisit the budget resolution for Reconciliation 3.0 in coming weeks.
The Bad:
Democrats, having lied about supporting simple voter ID in the past, blocked this commonsense component of the SAVE America Act.
The Ugly:
There are 21 weeks left in the year.
We’re scheduled to be in recess for 14 of them.

I proudly voted against leaving town. And I will continue pushing for the SAVE America Act when the Senate is back in session.
Many thanks to the grassroots champions of the SAVE America Act and election security who have been with us every step of the way. You are the reason that Congress has been forced to confront this pressing issue. You are the reason Democrats have been forced to repeatedly display their contempt for American voters. And you are the reason that this battle isn’t going away.
Keep fighting.
I said I’d vote to stay through August recess and get our work done. I meant it.
I voted NO on sending the Senate home. The American people sent us here to work for them, and I’m tired of Washington acting like getting the job done is someone else’s responsibility.
F**K JOHN THUNE.
Voter ID is the only thing that matters, and the fact that our LEADER is SPITTING in our faces over it CANNOT STAND.
It's time for a new Leader.

Lisa Murkowski only votes on her hatred of Trump.
She doesn't give AF what her voters in Alaska want.
Over 80% of Alaska wants the SAVE ACT, but she's a no vote.
She's the worst kind of representative - she only represents herself. Exactly like Thomas Masshole.
Can President Trump PLEASE give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the Amish for their amazing work rebuilding Western North Carolina?
They have literally rebuilt HUNDREDS of bridges, homes, businesses, and roads... and are STILL HERE!!!
No group deserves it more.
It’s tempting in government to say “I’m sure someone else will take care of that.”
Existing law makes it essentially impossible for states to halt noncitizen voting.
That’s why we need to pass the SAVE America Act—no one else can fix this.
