a leader is to be above reproach

@LeaderJohnThune Did they ask you about the SAVE America Act?

@seanfeucht God gives you time to repent, don't waste it.

@seanfeucht @pastorlocke @Daystar @DaystarJoni Repent for this divisive post.

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

Come again? This FBI and DOJ with our DHS partners drafted and executed every search warrant today. But go ahead and take credit for our work while we smoke out the fraud plaguing Minnesota under your governorship.

@RonSCantor Who did he tell he would just stay in his basement for three years and then have a comeback?

[Ron Cantor @RonSCantor]

@lancewallnau there really are no standards in the celebrity charismatic leadership. She divorced her first husband to marry Randy White, who was her associate pastor in MD. Then, in 2007, they divorced, "to focus more on ministry," then she's walking around Rome holding hands with Benny Hinn in 2010 ... I believe the standard for leadership is "above approach." She is not.

But you guys seem to think that anointing and calling is all that is important to bring about God's plan. Character is a minor issue that hopefully will work itself out. That is not how it works. Character comes first. Anyway… As always, good chatting. :-)

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee is being praised nationwide for staying on the Senate floor until almost 11PM AT NIGHT to fight hard for the SAVE America Act

I mean WHAT ELSE can you ask for in a senator?! 🇺🇸

"I just finished a very lengthy speech on the Senate floor, I was going for about two hours, refuting over and over again the same arguments that the Democrats keep raising in response to the Save America Act."

"They're not getting more creative, nor are they getting more persuasive. The arguments they're raising are stale, they are distortions of what the bill actually says, distortions of the status quo of the law and of the Constitution."

"They're wrong, we're right. We keep this up, we will win. Stay with me. Baby steps to save America."

Thank you @BasedMikeLee!

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Every Senate Democrat just voted against a simple Voter ID requirement—a scaled-down version of SAVE America without the citizenship-verification measures

Why?

What do they have against requiring voters to prove who they are with a government-issued, photo ID on Election Day?

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Please share if you agree that the Senate should not recess until it has (1) fully funded DHS, and (2) passed the SAVE America Act

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

Hello Senator Thune,

Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation."

You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process.

Here's how we know:

Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you.

Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work:

Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill.

Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results.

Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess.

Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate.

You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months.

Now let's talk donors:

• Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants

Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail."

Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable.

We see the loop.

You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed.

What we want:

1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act.

YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents.

You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time.

Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

As a father, I grieve for Sheridan’s parents for this unspeakable tragedy.

This was a failure of not holding criminal migrants accountable and not protecting the public—and another tragic reason why I was the Dem lead on the Laken Riley law.

[Rep. Keith Self @RepKeithSelf]

Only Americans should vote in American elections.

This should not be controversial.

Pass the SAVE America Act.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

There are many things the Senate could pass with a simple majority using the procedure known as “budget reconciliation”

The SAVE America Act is *not* one of them

So we need to keep debating it as we have been—until it passes

[Leader John Thune @LeaderJohnThune]

The SAVE America Act debate has made one thing crystal clear: Democrats’ rhetoric is completely out of step with what most Americans support. Providing proof of citizenship and showing a photo ID to vote is just common sense.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

Government is supposed to bring order, not disorder.

When Congress fails at even that bare-minimum role, senators’ paychecks shouldn’t keep rolling in.

The Democrats may have blocked my resolution to stop paying senators during shutdowns, but mark my words: I WILL try again.

[Senator Dave McCormick @SenMcCormickPA]

The SAVE America Act is simple: only US citizens should vote in US elections.

Proof of citizenship to register. Photo ID to vote. Clean voter rolls. Enforce the law.

Basic. Reasonable. Common sense.

So why are Democrats opposing a bill voters overwhelmingly support?

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

@RepJeffries Hey dumbfck, how much money did you send to Ukraine?

Hey @Grok, how much money did this dipsht, Hakeem vote to send to Ukraine under Joe Biden?

[Grok @grok]

Hakeem Jeffries voted yea on every major House Ukraine aid bill under Biden: $40B supplemental (May 2022), additional packages in late 2022, and the $61B Ukraine Security Supplemental (April 2024). These were part of Congress passing ~$175B total in Ukraine-related appropriations since the 2022 invasion.

[Senate Republicans @SenateGOP]

There’s never been a more crucial time to fund the entire Department of Homeland Security than right now.

Democrats are playing Russian roulette with the safety and security of the American people.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

Senate Republicans,

If you stay in DC — while democrats flee for a paid vacation —

you can pass the SAVE America Act with a simple 51 quorum

& unanimous consent.
