🚨 JUST IN: Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) drops a TRUTH NUKE on Leader Thune and Senate GOP leadership
"The only way out of this DHS funding mess is for the Senate to COME BACK TO DC and ELIMINATE the filibuster NOW!" 🔥
"We already know where the Democrats stand, and it’s NOT with the American people. It’s time to FULLY FUND DHS."
We need to fight. Stop letting Chuck Schumer steamroll us!

🚨 LINDSEY GRAHAM CAUGHT VACATIONING AT DISNEY WORLD DURING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN
While Washington failed… he was having breakfast with Mickey Mouse.
• Federal workers suddenly without pay
• TSA delays stacking up across the country
• Nationwide uncertainty unfolding in real time
And where is a sitting U.S. Senator?
At Disney World.
• Chef Mickey’s buffet inside the Contemporary Resort
• Disney characters walking table to table
• Reportedly seated in the back, away from attention
• Relaxing, chatting, enjoying the morning
According to TMZ, this all happened during the shutdown chaos.
Now connect this.
He says he “voted 7 times” to fund the government.
But the government still shut down.
Then he went to Disney World.
TMZ is now looking for more members of Congress vacationing while Americans go without pay.
This isn’t just one moment.
It’s a pattern people are starting to notice.
Is this incompetence… or do they just not care anymore?

@clmok2 @TheBabylonBee This is spot on!!! My heart is heavy with Leo's outrageous statement! It must be retracted!!!!!!!
English

@TheBabylonBee It hurts my heart to know that he either fully understands what he said and is intentionally furthering a globalist narrative, or he doesn’t and is unintentionally doing so.
Neither option is befitting a leader in the church of Jesus Christ.

@BasedMikeLee Two can play that game! Thune should have his nose rubbed in the mess he's made!

President Trump has the power to convene the Senate under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution “on extraordinary Occasions.”
If a department with 260,000 employees (DHS) going unfunded isn’t an “extraordinary occasion”—especially while the Senate is out on a two-week recess during that shutdown with no plans to resolve the impasse beyond “we’ll deal with that in two weeks”—I don’t know what is.
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee
Waiting for a deal to materialize with Chuck Schumer applies no pressure on Senate Democrats to fund DHS Interrupting their recess and forcing them to debate DHS funding on the Senate floor *would* apply pressure We can’t reward unprecedented obstruction with two-week recesses

@ScarletReeds Then he shouldn't have been involved at all. It looks bad on him!

Many are confused about Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) and the DHS funding vote.
Here's what actually happened:
Around 2 a.m. on March 27, the Senate passed the amended bill by voice vote, funding most of DHS (TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, etc.) but stripping full funding for ICE and parts of CBP.
The five senators physically on the floor for the voice vote on the amended H.R. 7147 were:
John Thune (R-SD, Majority Leader)
Eric Schmitt (R-MO)
Bernie Moreno (R-OH, presiding officer)
Andy Kim (D-NJ)
And one Hawaii Democrat referred to in the record as "the Senator from Hawaii" — either Brian Schatz (D-HI) or Mazie Hirono (D-HI).
Why no objection from Schmitt?
The deal had already been "hotlined". Senate leadership checked with all 100 offices in advance. When no one objects to proceeding by unanimous consent/voice vote (standard at that hour to avoid a full session), it passes without debate or recorded roll call.
Objecting then would have just delayed everything further after weeks of failed cloture attempts (which require 60 votes for full funding).
Schmitt had pushed hard for full ICE/CBP funding in the days prior. Immediately after the voice vote passed, he sought unanimous consent for a separate bill to fully fund ICE and CBP.
Democrat Sen. Andy Kim objected.
Schmitt then stated that Republicans would pursue it via reconciliation—a simple majority process that avoids the filibuster.
Bottom line: Schmitt was on the floor fighting to protect border security funding, not to sabotage it.
It was too late to stop it anyway.
The low attendance and pre-cleared procedural move let Democrats force the carve-out. A classic Senate impasse tactic.
Fortunately, House Republicans rejected the weakened Senate version as a "joke" and passed a clean full-funding continuing resolution instead.
The real fight continues when the recess finishes on the second week of April.
If all of this feels complicated and unusual, that's because it is. That's not how the Senate operates most of the time.
