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.

Hope you enjoyed the long weekend with family and friends but a friendly reminder this is what the long weekend is actually about. Not about bbq, and fun. It’s about remembering those who gave their lives for our country. From foreign and domestic terrorists. I just want to say thank you 🙏🏼 for serving and laying down your life for my freedoms. You are not forgotten. Deepest heartfelt gratitude 🙏🏼 Memorial Day 🇺🇸❣️ - Kaya #memorialday

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the son of immigrants who left Cuba before the Castro revolution to look for economic opportunities. Yet he pursues change with the zeal of a political exile {og:title} {article:title} sun-sentinel.com/2026/05/25/rub…

Rubio's parents left Cuba in 1956. Fidel Castro's terrorist attack on the Moncada barracks was in 1953 and the country was besieged by violent political turmoil the entire decade. These were not "economic immigrants."

🚨WOW: The Trump admin. has ENDED the 72-year reign of NOT REQUIRING anyone to prove their citizenship to get taxpayer funds. "You now have to have a birth date... a citizenship check. That has never existed in the 72-year history." Follow: @BoLoudon

Every single welfare recipient in America should have to reapply. Everything verified and checked. Then routine follow up verifications. Welfare fraud is staggering and American taxpayers are abused. Our National Debt is mostly from fraud. We’re being robbed. Facts.

BE HONEST: Do you think it was the right move for President Trump last night to pardon Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Mark Meadows, and others involved in efforts to challenge the 2020 election results? A. Hell yes B. No

Understand what these street shows are actually about. They have plenty of mosques to pray in. They are demonstrating their intention to infiltrate and take over our nation. They are so confident of our weakness, they rub our faces in it by doing this.

“We gave up our yesterdays for your tomorrows.” 98-year-old World War II veteran David Yoho delivered an emotional message at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. as Americans gathered to honor the more than 400,000 U.S. service members who died during the war. Standing before the crowd in the rain, Yoho urged younger generations to remember the sacrifices made by veterans and to keep telling their stories long after they’re gone. “Tell them it was a 16-year-old boy in the hearts and mind and body of a 98-year-old veteran of World War II.”

Rep. Mike Levin@RepMikeLevin·
🚨 Every Republican present in the House Appropriations Committee last night voted to make THEMSELVES eligible to collect from Trump's $1.8 billion January 6th slush fund. I am not making this up. I introduced an amendment to stop Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President from collecting a single dollar from Trump’s slush fund unless a court actually orders it. Every single Republican who cast a vote was AGAINST my amendment, making themselves eligible for settlement funds. Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President, have no business lining their own pockets by claiming they were victims of government weaponization. Trump set up this fund, now MAGA Republicans in Congress are ensuring they all can collect from it. That is exactly the kind of self-dealing corruption the American people are sick of.

MAGA is watching. If Senate leadership doesn't fight tooth and nail to pass the SAVE Act before the 2026 midterms, John Thune is going to face a massive primary challenge. We are done with weak leaders who won't secure our elections.
