REVEALED: Here Are the Mainstream Journalists on China’s Payroll 🚨

I exclusively uncovered the identities of prominent U.S. journalists flown to China by a CCP-linked influence operation seeking “favorable coverage” and “positive messages” about Beijing. 🧵

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.

All I ever hear the media talk about is right wing violence.

All I ever see are left wing shooters.

If one thing has been obvious thru the first 6 games of the CFP it’s that the Committee did a horrible job with both team selection and seeding. Not 1 person in the current Committee should be allowed back nor should ESPN have a say in anything. The system now is corrupt

@LibertyLockPod The dirty little secret is if we stopped the fraud too fast the deficit would shrink and the global ponzi credit jenga tower would collapse.

Agree…now it’s time to shut it down and prosecute the looters otherwise this is just a cool tweet.

You are the vice president of the United States not a passive observer. If you don't rain hell on these scumbag politicians in Minnesota you can kiss 2028 goodbye. No more commentary. No more woe is me. Get to fkn work. Fire Kash and Bondi immediately if they refuse. Go.

@PatMcAfeeShow Explain how Oklahoma has been a sealed deal for weeks now. They beat 1 team (Alabama) which doesnt seem like a good enough win to seal the 8 spot. Notre Dame is clearly more worthy of a spot than Oklahoma and no one is talking about it!?! #CFPRankings

[Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_]

Might be time to do a full accounting of all the people who said the border bill was the only way to fix the problem and that President Biden had done all he could do with his executive power.

A lot of people had a lot to say back then. Those are going to be brutal soundbites.
