Our base should not have to beg @SenMcConnell and @LeaderJohnThune to pass something as critical as securing and safeguarding our elections. Period.
I can't think of anything more arrogant than ignoring the will of the people, especially when they're the ones who gave us majorities in the House and Senate.
This inaction will not only cost us in the midterms but will also cost our republic.
714 days since we first passed the SAVE Act in the House.
537 days since John Thune was chosen to serve as Senate Majority Leader.
Enough waiting. The American people want this done!
"We don't have the votes" isn't a strategy. It's a white flag.
If John Thune was the kind of leader he ought to be, he wouldn't just end the filibuster. He would LEAD and get his caucus on board.
House Republicans have one of the slimmest majorities in history. There's almost always 3-4 of us who disagree on any bill. Yet, time and time again @SpeakerJohnson has found a way to get us all on the same page and get the job done.
"It is true that the House-passed version of the SAVE America Act got 50 votes in the Senate. But that measure was limited to voter ID and citizenship proof. Trump has made clear he wants the “full version,” which doesn’t have 50 votes and includes a restriction on mail-in ballots, an issue that divides Republicans." @PunchbowlNews
What a day.
On @POTUS’s birthday, the world got another reminder of what strong leadership looks like: a deal to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and restore stability around the world.
This as he hosts UFC champions on the South Lawn—a fitting backdrop for a president who never backs down from a fight.
They said it couldn't be done. They said he was reckless. Well, the critics get headlines. Trump gets results. 🇺🇸
"This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region."
President Trump says the agreement with Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, allowing oil to flow through one of the world's most critical shipping routes once again.
The announcement comes after days of tensions and uncertainty surrounding negotiations and regional security.
Many Tennesseans join me in wishing @POTUS a very happy birthday today!
As our nation nears its own milestone birthday, we owe a big thanks to you for putting America First. Because of you and your administration, the United States is well positioned to lead the world as we embark on the next 250 years.
My political hero happens to be our first president.
George Washington believed in a legislature made up of everyday folks. He believed that elected officials should serve for a season and go home.
I would wager that he would feel the same about bureaucrats with authority. If you stay too long, you end up corrupt.
@POTUS is exactly right. It’s time to support term limits for the Senate parliamentarian.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Susan Collins is our path forward.
We have 50 votes.
End the filibuster. Secure our elections.
Leader Thune not on board? Get a new leader.

LISTEN UP if you care about eating or putting clothes on your back.
@SecRollins explains all the ways failed leadership has put our nation in an existential crisis.
As we embark on our nation’s 250th birthday, we owe a big thank you to @POTUS and his administration for restoring American independence and enabling future generations to enjoy the same liberty and freedom we do.
We’re being told FISA 702 is too important to question. Meanwhile, the CIA apparently ran a spy program so sloppy it turned into a $40M gold heist.
And these are the people we’re supposed to trust with unchecked surveillance?
CIA: Trust us with sweeping surveillance powers.
Also CIA: Can’t stop employees from walking off with literal gold bars.
Maybe fix basic accountability before asking for more authority over Americans’ privacy.
We’re told FISA 702 is too important to let lapse.
Meanwhile, the CIA allegedly ran an operation so poorly managed it ended in a $40 million gold heist. And these are the same institutions we’re expected to trust with sweeping, largely unchecked surveillance powers?
That’s exactly why someone like Bill Pulte is needed—to challenge and dismantle a culture where this kind of negligence and abuse can happen in the first place.

For most of my life, we have had an agricultural trade SURPLUS in this country.
Farm country is now facing a crisis because of the failed leadership of the last four years.
Under Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, the U.S. failed to negotiate a SINGLE agricultural trade deal.
How dare Congressional Democrats criticize the firemen that are on the scene containing – and working hard to put out – the fire they started.
Another successful pancake breakfast town hall is in the books!
I want to thank this crowd in Clay County for coming out to share those issues that matter most to them. I was honored to answer your questions and I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent you in Washington.
Everyone is ready for fuel prices to come down. So, Congress needs to support the world's strongest military and empower them to finish the job in Iran as quickly as possible.
I voted NO on the war powers resolution that seeks to halt our progress in Iran.
.@POTUS is right. The future of our Republic hinges on passing the SAVE America Act into law. That will require real courage from Republican Senators.
It’s time they demand that @LeaderJohnThune stop hiding behind the filibuster, work with naysayers in our party, and pass the bill!
Todd Blanche is eminently qualified to serve as Attorney General of the United States. He's proven himself to be tough on crime, which our nation needs in its top cop.
Another great pick by @POTUS.
The SAVE America Act is common sense in Cannon County—and across Tennessee.
At a recent town hall, I heard from countless people who made their support for the bill clear.
Proof of citizenship to register. Photo ID to vote.
The Senate must act now.
2009, Dennis Blair [Obama DNI]: unanimously approved
2010, James Clapper [Obama DNI]: unanimously approved
2017, Dan Coats [Trump DNI]: approved 85-12
2020, John Ratcliffe [Trump DNI]: approved 49-44
2021, Avril Haines [Biden DNI]: approved 84-10
2025, Tulsi Gabbard [Trump DNI]: approved 52-48
Democrats have always had a problem allowing @POTUS to choose his team. This is not about Pulte's qualifications to serve as DNI. It's obstruction.
And, they don't need any help from the same old Senate Republicans who refuse to carry out the will of the American people and support our President.
