I'm a @SenRickScott voter. He's been good for our state. But a group of us were talking last night about him. Nobody at the table want to vote for him again unless (a) he stop talking about what the Senate should do and do it and/or (b) lead by removing @LeaderJohnThune @LeaderJohnThune is a stain on the @SenateGOP because they continue to follow him while posting on X about what the Senate should be doing. He is a problem for the @GOP

Then remove THUNE, or you are just BULLSHITTING.

@EricLDaugh There is no reason to safeguard a broken institution. @SenateGOP is looking more like a part of the problem vs a part of the solution.

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Brandon Gill just EVISCERATED the Senate for constantly excusing inaction with "safeguarding the institution" We're still waiting on the SAVE America Act. "The people want to know when they elect a senator, THEY'LL DO SOMETHING!" 🔥 "The argument that you'll hear from the Senate, will say that 'we are protecting the institution, that the Senate is different from the House and that it ought to operate differently, that we are the deliberative body and we deliberate legislation.'" "But the reality is they're not doing ANY of that. The Senate is not deliberating legislation!" "You don't see any real Senate debates on the Senate floor anymore!" "What you see is senators threatening to debate so that they have that 60 vote, you know, cloture threshold. So the impact is that the Senate can't actually do anything." "They're basically have very little democratic accountability because they have 6 year terms and they have very little, you know, they don't listen to the people because they have this 60 vote threshold that they can hide behind." "In effect, this call to protect the Senate as an institution is destroying the Senate as an institution." @RepBrandonGill

Short of this @SenRickScott will have failed the people of Florida who voted for him. At dinner last night a group of us (all of whom voted for him) talked about whether or not, if he had a primary prior to 2030, if we’d vote for him again. To a person everyone said if he was primaried this cycle by someone running solely on the platform of replacing @LeaderJohnThune they would get our vote. Ironically - we are all Rick Scott fans. But the @SenateGOP is broken. Anyone not afraid to lead it’s change is a non-starter moving forward.

@ScottforFlorida No, @SenRickScott - its time to REPLACE @leaderjohnthune !!! Once you do that the other things will fall in place!!!

We cannot allow far-left Democrats to weaponize the filibuster and undermine President Trump’s agenda any longer. It’s time we BLOW UP the filibuster and put AMERICA FIRST! 🇺🇸

Would you support a constitutional amendment prospectively limiting birthright citizenship to children born to U.S. citizen parents?

@C_3C_3 But neither party in Congress seems to want to actually tackle this. These funds primarily originate from the Federal government. There was a moment when @HouseGOP and @senategop pretended to care. Other than @timburchett - even the illusion of caring has worn off.

New York: 133K NGOs handle $450 billion per year. California: 225K NGOs handle $610 billion per year. Over $1 trillion per year is moved within the NY and CA NGO ecosystem. The fraud is staggering. America is not in $39 trillion in debt. America is in $39 trillion in fraud.

@GOP Can you imagine if you had a strong @senategop? The guy would absolutely cook. Unfortunately, we have a @SenateGOP content to follow the lead of @LeaderJohnThune

THE TRUMP EFFECT 🇺🇸

@BasedMikeLee @grok what happened to the bill that Democrats introduced in 1993 to end birthright citizenship?

Democrats were right on birthright citizenship—in 1993 Much has changed since then But the policy they embraced then is still needed today—even though they have long since abandoned it

@bunchonumb3rs @RonWyden Which is why Senators and Congressmen from their respective states make the trek to Washington to advocate on behalf of their states. Nice use of obtuse - in context and everything. I'm probs ignorant.

@Eldrode @RonWyden The federal government does control a lot of funding for this purpose lol I’m not going to rebuild your understanding of how the government works from first principles because you’re ignorant or simply obtuse.

What I heard at today’s wildfire briefing in Medford was stunning & alarming. Snowpack = 11% of normal. Crater Lake snowpack = the lowest on record for 100+ years. The time is now for Donald Trump to invest here at home on wildfire prep rather than overseas in a needless war.

@bunchonumb3rs @RonWyden Ok....let's follow that logic. t seems it would follow that if a Senator from the State isn't doing anything because they aren't a part of state government, then the President shouldn't either...? But he's basically putting that on a President.

@Eldrode @RonWyden Senators aren’t governors or part of state government so no that isn’t how that works lol

@MarindaVannoy1 I’m not sure. But I’m now confident that “the more you know” shorts between cartoons when I was a kid got it wrong.

Can someone please explain to me like I'm 5 exactly what it is that Congress does?

@BasedMikeLee There's a majority @SenateGOP - what's stopping you guys?

It’s time to slay the zombie filibuster And pass the SAVE America Act

@NYTimesPR @sissenberg @nytimes Did you Google it after it hit the socials?

@sissenberg @nytimes A correction will appear in tomorrow's print edition: "A headline with an article on Friday about President Trump’s threats to leave NATO misstated the full name of the body. It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, not the North American Treaty Organization."

Does the @nytimes know what NATO stands for?

@ScottforFlorida Stop posting and do it!

@sissenberg @nytimes Please tell me this is AI or photoshopped @nytimes

@SenRickScott Can you imagine how he'd cook with a majority in the Senate? Wait...there's a majority in the Senate! You just wouldn't know it because you guys have chosen the worst possible leader and refuse to do anything about it.

HUGE NEWS! President Trump is DELIVERING for the American people and protecting the American Dream for future generations. 🇺🇸

@SenTomCotton Man you are quick on the draw when it comes to large expense items from military primes. But you are slow on the uptake for things like The Save America act, recess appointments, and DOGE cuts.

President Trump’s proposed $1.5 trillion investment in our defense budget is welcome news. Congress should fund this request as soon as possible.

@LeaderJohnThune is a serious impediment to what we voted for last year. What's becoming concerning are the @SenateGOP who continue to keep him on as Leader. Generational opportunity for change in how government works and runs. Generational opportunity to root out the rot in our system. @LeaderJohnThune has wasted it. His legacy will reflect that. And the members of @SenateGOP who won't work to remove him and enact the will of the people will be remembered for enabling his ineffectiveness.

@MayorOfLA So glad the rest of the country has the opportunity to support inefficiency and fraud in your city. Hard to believe you get our tax dollars to waste.

Today, Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove and I announced nearly $3 million in federal funding we secured to support housing and transportation improvements in Los Angeles. We fought hard for this funding to make Los Angeles safer and more affordable, and to build on the progress we’ve made over the last three years to reduce street homelessness. We announced this investment at a site that reflects the work ahead — a former vacant lot now home to 180 families, along with businesses, a school, and a Metro job training facility. The transit plaza serving this community benefited from federal funding I secured in 2022 while serving in Congress, and this new investment will bring additional improvements to the area.

@IfindRetards Solid tie

This is going to be a big one. Who is more retarded?
