EVERY Senator who fled to the airport to get out of Washington before they fully funded our brave ICE and Border Patrol agents MUST get back on a plane and DO YOUR JOB to fully fund DHS.
@LeaderJohnThune needs to get our Senators back to town ASAP.
And while you’re back, pass the SAVE America Act and get it on the President’s desk.

@ChrisMurphyCT If it was 100-0 deal, why did it happen at 3 AM with 5 Senators?
Did YOU even know the vote was going to happen until it was done?

@RandPaul You could have stopped the 3 AM vote and the DHS compromise by objecting.
You built your career on voting "no" to virtually everything.
Why didn't you stop the DHS compromise?

My take wasn't uninformed, I do technically have an access to a thinktank which includes significant Congress experience and Johnson's take (and mine) was their consensus opinion. They had little faith in the reconciliation process or even if the Byrd amendment would even allow them to "resurrect" ICE at that step.
And I've since received intel that not all Senators knew about the vote until it passed, which I suppose was the entire point of holding it at 3 AM.
Some things are really as scummy as they appear to be.

To those Senators clinging to the Senate rules and clutching their pearls at the very idea that the Byrd “rule” should never be examined, or the “interpretation” of the filibuster rules by some long since departed parliamentarian, I refer them to the wisdom of Ralph Waldo Emerson in 1841: “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.”

From colleague Tyler Olson. Johnson on it he talked to Thune and if he told him the House couldn’t pass the Senate’s DHS bill: Yes, we talked today and I told him it shouldn't be a surprise to anybody that we would not be able to do that. We're not going to split apart two of the most important agencies in the government and leave them hanging like that. We just couldn't do that

I served in the Missouri state Senate. When we had a filibuster, I was in my office with my suit on, shoes on, ready to run upstairs at one, two, three in the morning for a roll call vote.
That's how it's supposed to work.
It's not supposed to be comfortable, it's supposed to produce results. The US Senate forgot that.

The EXACT language in the joke of a “bill” the Senate sent over at 3am.
“’U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’ in the ‘Department of Homeland Security Act, 2026’ table shall all be $0.”
Yup…you read that right! ZERO dollars for our Patriots in @ICEgov.
Not on my watch!

We’ll NEVER sacrifice our national security.

Bernie Sanders is the oligarchy that he's been talking about for decades.

.@TMZ making sure you saw Democrat socialist Bernie Sanders living large on his first class flight out of DC while he forces Americans to go without pay.

Speaker Mike Johnson reveals what the Senate funding of DHS says. Senator John Thune agreed with the Dems to BAN border security funding.
“It says, ‘The contents printed under the headings of this bill, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border security operations under the heading of US Customs and Border Patrol and Protection shall have no force or effect for purposes of this act and amounts specified in the final bill under the subheading border security operation, and under the heading U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and under the headings of US Immigration and Customs enforcement, in the Department of Homeland Security shall be...ZERO.’” “We’re not doing that.”
RINO Senator John Thune agreed with the Democrats to re-open the border.

This is an excellent explanation of the filibuster—and why it has evolved into such a problem that it must be addressed quickly and aggressively—from the great @CletaMitchell, a true gift to the conservative movement
Cleta Mitchell@CletaMitchell
There is a serious constitutional crisis when the legislative branch of the federal government is unable to legislate because of self-imposed ‘extra-constitutional’ rules and procedures. The Byrd Rule… named for a long-dead Democrat leader who appears to control the Senate from the grave. The filibuster rule that can’t work because of some long ago interpretation of the filibuster process. The question is whether the Senate leaders will continue to allow their foolish adherence to arcane rules and procedures to create this constitutional crisis. They say they won’t “nuke” the filibuster. But they also won’t overturn the long ago ruling by a parliamentarian who “interpreted” the 2-speech rule to mean the filibuster can never ever end. As we have had to learn more about the Senate rules, it is becoming increasingly clear that the Senate is refusing to protect the filibuster by overturning the interpretation that makes the filibuster impossible to end without a supermajority. That’s a constitutional crisis and rather than seriously address the issue and the procedures and the rules, the Senators left town. So disgraceful. We will know soon enough where these Senators went if they traveled during the recess. How many went on junkets. Who had fundraising trips. What they did rather than face their responsibilities. Like funding DHS. Like securing our elections. Like addressing this constitutional crisis they have allowed to take over the Senate and that they refuse to remedy. This is not what the voters bargained for. This irresponsible bunch of Senators who refuse to protect the Senate and ensure its ability to function to serve the people. They’re mad at @BasedMikeLee for calling this all into public view. On full display so we now see it - understand it. And hate it. But he’s not the problem. They just didn’t want the public to ever find out. But now we know. And we are disgusted. @EIwatchdogs @BasedMikeLee @chiproytx
