Any politician still against the SAVE Act after watching what transpired in California is actively working to rig elections.
There’s no other explanation.
A major study found that pesticide mixtures increased:
-Childhood leukemia by 23%
-Brain cancer by 36%
-Overall childhood cancer by 30%
And yet we’re still debating whether to protect these chemicals?
Remove pesticide protections from the Farm Bill.
Trump should apologize.
Trump has spent all his political capital on an unjust and unpopular war for Netanyahu 🇮🇱. He flaked out on releasing the Epstein files. Americans lose morale every time they visit the gas station.
Trump has no momentum. His popularity has crashed. And during the 8 days of Eastertide he has needlessly offended and isolated Catholic Americans. He's stacking L’s.
He should apologize.
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.
On the left is Gold Star father Charles Simmons describing his meeting with President Trump at the dignified transfer for his son, Master Sgt. Tyler Simmons, who was killed during Operation Epic fury.
On the right is Gold Star mother Cheryl Rex describing her meeting with Joe Biden at the dignified transfer for her son, Lance Cpl. Dylan Merola, who was killed during the withdraw from Afghanistan.
See if you can spot the difference...
As I used my ID to buy Sudafed (ridiculous) I kept thinking how badly I feel for all of those congested black Americans and stuffed up married women who have to suffer with sinus pain & pressure. The other stuff is total fugazi. Truly Jim Blow 2.0.
This is a PHENOMENAL IDEA: "What if President Trump announced that ICE agents were going to be supplementing TSA agents inside all of the airports."
The one KICKER that could cause Democrats to bend the knee immediately: "ICE agents are still being paid."
This would not only speed up the democrat induced wait times, but it would SURGE deportations and get them with their stuff already packed!
I support this.
@AlphaNews Same logic as requiring the sale of alcohol in a separate location in grocery stores. Hell, the state held onto the blue law (no alcohol sales on Sundays) until 9 years ago! Minnesota is such a progressive state where anything goes except when it comes to alcohol. 🙄
If the GODFATHER were made today it would NOT be eligible for an Oscar unless he transitioned to the Godmother and made someone an offer they couldn’t HEAR. You could still leave the gun but you couldn’t take the cannoli unless the baker supports gay marriage. RIP Hollywood.
SAVE ACT: These people won't be voting on the Save Act on Wednesday. They'll be voting on a procedural motion that will preclude a vote on the bill. After they do they will be taking a 14-day paid vacation.
...I agree with Sen. John Kennedy that we should have a law that freezes pay for members of Congress in any government shutdown. It is easy for these members to just shrug off the national security and personal costs of this shutdown while continuing to receive their own pay...
6 years ago today Covid was declared a worldwide pandemic. It also marks the date video of Chinese people falling “de@d” on the streets from said virus, and being hauled off on flatbed trucks by men in hazmat suits. The greatest psyop of all time. Happy anniversary🖕
