@DataRepublican @LeaderJohnThune .@senategop, remove @LeaderJohnThune from his position.

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.

Let’s summarize where we are after a 40+ day Democrat shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. 1) ICE and CBP are funded, thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts and the foresight of President Trump and Republicans in Congress. 2) After holding DHS and the American people hostage for over 40 days, Dems got ZERO restrictions that would prevent ICE and CBP agents from doing their jobs safely. 3) Due to Dem obstruction of the appropriations process, ICE and CBP will get even more funding through budget reconciliation. 4) Dems have once again established themselves as the “Open Borders, Defund the Police” party heading into an election. 5) Dem leadership has proven once again they can’t be trusted to make a deal. Which begs the question if you’re a Dem senator or one of their left-wing supporters: What was this really all about?

@neoavatara TACO

This stupid though. If he pays the TSA, that basically ends the possibility of passing SAVE. Trump gives up all leverage. So why not just fund it properly?

Sheridan Gorman’s killer is being held in isolation. I suspect Pritzker & the Dems are hiding him to COVER-UP the fact that this illegal immigrant killed an innocent young girl as part of a GANG INITIATION. I know gangbangers & how they operate. I lived with them for 8 years. And I know Pritzker & the Dems. Bet you I’m right.

@neoavatara .@realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse, if we don't need middle east oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz, why has the price of gasoline gone up $2 per gallon since the start of the Iran war?

Can you explain why our troops should die fighting there for the Strait then?

@SenWarren .@SenWarren is NOT an economist. She is a lawyer.

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

@sagesteele @LoyolaChicago Don't think that the IDS would not do the same thing.

Parents considering sending their kids and their $$$ to @LoyolaChicago .. TAKE NOTE.

Every single Senate Democrat just voted against an amendment for universal photo ID requirements to vote in federal elections.

@AJManaseer @JBPritzker Gotta wonder how JB would fare in a revolt. My guess is that they were kinder to Mussolini.

This message is to @JBPritzker. If this insane and dangerous bill passes the legislature, lands on your desk, and you don’t veto it, then you are going to have a full on revolt on your hands. We have had enough of this bullshit.

@MissinRoyko Is it not obvious that Mika is an imbecile?

Mika Brzezinski was born in New York. On Line - She can replace her birth certificate on line within 24 hours In Person - Sometimes same day or a maximum of 2 - 3 days Mail - 2 - 4 weeks Fee - $30.00 Requirements - A drivers license, passport, or 2 pieces of official mail Can we now STOP with this bullshit …….

@chicagobars Without an account number and ID, I couldn't even get @usbank to give me two tens for $20 that I pulled out of their ATM.

Serious question: Why do Chase Bank branches need to log & require ID for a change run of between $100-$500? Is there a weird way to launder money thru change runs? Like over $500 maybe but checking ID for turning $300 in 20s into 5s? Seems like waste of time for all involved?

@SenFettermanPA Any foreign nationals who participated in this should be deported.

Here in Philadelphia. Truly appalling. These assholes chanting for the death of our servicemembers. Where’s the Dem outrage and condemnation?

@GovPritzker .@cta's Red Line extension is completely unnecessary. It is a way-over-budget waste of money. The project should be scrapped.

The Court saw what was obvious to all. Trump’s pause in funding the Red Line Extension was a desperate attempt to distract from his failures and to use as leverage in a political game. Work needed to deliver on an overdue promise can continue for Chicago's Far South Side.

USS Gerald Ford limps out of hot war and into embarrassment. Why? msn.com/en-us/news/wor…

#Illinois needs to become one of those states where the legislature meets for only two or three weeks every couple of years. MyStateline search.app/uGk3F

This is a lie. A blatant lie. Not to mention a complete reversal of your campaign promises. This unconstitutional power grab will permanently rig Virginia’s Congressional maps and disenfranchise millions of Virginians. Virginia, VOTE NO.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just unveiled an "Abolish ICE" snow plow. Less than a week after Sheridan Gorman was murdered in his city by an illegal alien.

.@Delta should not have a special service desk for members of Congress.

@Variety Vince Vaughn is right.

Vince Vaughn is criticizing late night TV shows for having political agendas: "You don’t want to become part of a group and feel like you’re a champion for one ideology. You want to make fun of everybody." “The podcasts have gotten so much more popular with less production, less writers, less staff. And the reason is … people want authenticity. The talk shows, to a large part, became really agenda-based. They were going to [evangelize] people to what they thought. And so people just rejected it because it didn’t feel authentic. It felt like they had an agenda. It stopped being funny, and it started feeling like I was in a fucking class I didn’t want to take. I’m getting scolded.” (via "This Past Weekend podcast) variety.com/2026/tv/news/v…

You knew J.D. Pritzker was shameless and dishonest, but trying to blame a young woman’s murder by an illegal alien in a sanctuary city and state as Trump’s fault is so utterly absurd and ridiculous it’s hard to believe he even said it
