If they do neither then we are cooked. It won't just be Thune's fault. It will fall on the heads of ever cowardly senator who refuse to remove him and put in someone who will actually do something. You get that it's not just on Thune, right? If the other senators won't act to stop him, when they can, his inaction is their fault, too.

There are 42 states that hold bartenders accountable if the customers they over serve kill someone but 0 states that hold Judges accountable if the criminals they release kill someone. Insane.

The Senate left but it's not in recess. Thune is denying Trump the ability to make recess appointments via these tricky games. Trump isn't talking about this. Maybe he doens't understand? JD was in the Senate and could explain this. Why it's not a bigger deal is a mystery to me.

In the dead of night, with only five senators present on the floor and no one there to object, the Senate rushed through a DHS funding bill that deliberately left ICE and CBP unfunded. Now, they are leaving town. No SAVE America Act. ICE and CBP unfunded. Senate Republicans just gave the Democrats everything they wanted and more.

This morning, the Senate passed a bill to fund many functions of the Department of Homeland Security, but it did not fund ICE and only partially funded CBP. I opposed this bill. The Democrats have made clear to the American people that they will always put illegal aliens first. This Democrat DHS shutdown was never about reforms to ICE, which the Democrats rejected over and over again, it was about amnesty for illegals and completely halting all deportations. The Democrats want to create an America with open borders, no justice against illegal aliens who kill and attack Americans, and total amnesty for the millions of illegals that they let flood into our country under the Biden administration. This is not hyperbole. It’s the truth, and Democrats have not denied it. Senator Peter Welch said on CSPAN that this entire shutdown was to start a conversation about amnesty. Then, Senator Chris Murphy said on MSNBC that the ‘undocumented’ are the people whom Democrats care about most. It is unacceptable that Democrat members of the United States Senate, who took an oath to represent American citizens and protect the United States, have so openly turned against the interests of our nation to serve those who break our laws. The time for a reckoning has come, and Republicans must now take radical action to protect the United States against the threats posed by radical Democrats. That means fully funding ICE and CBP and passing the SAVE America Act NOW. Republicans must also make sure this never happens again. Members of Congress never should have been allowed to keep getting paychecks while the people keeping our homeland secure were suffering. Congress needs to take up and pass my No Budget, No Pay Act to make it federal law that Congress won’t get paid if a single federal worker isn’t due to a shutdown. We need to get ICE and CBP reopened fully as soon as possible. It’s time for Republicans to get to work on reconciliation immediately and put an end to Democrats’ embarrassing political theater once and for all. I will not give up until we get it done.
