Wells Fargo, $90,000 to Thune: Banks undocumented immigrants via ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) accounts — a significant revenue stream. Wells Fargo has an active ITIN mortgage lending program that extends home loans to non-citizens without Social Security Numbers. Strict ID verification norms that SAVE Act signals would threaten this customer base. Also a major H-1B employer for technology roles.

Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user • Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify • Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration • Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster. 2. Stop hiding behind process. 3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

They Passed Over American Doctors The biggest misunderstanding in the U.S. healthcare debate is that America does not train enough doctors. We do. The real failure is what happens after medical school. Each year, thousands of U.S. medical school graduates fail to match into a residency. In 2024, roughly 7 percent of U.S. MD seniors and a higher share of DO graduates went unmatched. These are not unqualified students. They completed medical school, passed required exams, and accumulated substantial debt, yet were denied the final step required to practice medicine. At the same time, thousands of international medical graduates also matched into U.S. residency programs. This has led some to argue that foreign-trained doctors are simply “better.” That claim misses the point entirely. Whether some foreign-trained physicians are excellent is not in dispute. Many are. But a rational healthcare system does not intentionally cap training slots in a way that locks out qualified domestic graduates, then declare a shortage and import replacements. Other major countries align medical school enrollment with residency or supervised training capacity so graduates can complete training and serve patients. They do not deliberately create artificial scarcity. Yet they have and it was the plan all along. The best way to convince the public that the foreign labor influx is normal is to convince Americans there is a shortage and replace our highest skilled and wage earners first. As if they are here to save the day... we have 340 million people in this country there isn't a single profession we cannot insource. Instead of finishing the residency of doctors we have already trained, give those slots to foreign born instead while allowing foreigners to practice in almost two dozen states that do not require residency. Residency pay is standardized within programs, and duty hours are capped nationally. The issue is not compensation. The issue is scarcity and leverage. You cannot practice medicine in the United States without completing residency. When residency slots are capped, programs fill every position they are allowed to fund. If qualified Americans go unmatched, the system does not pause or correct itself. It simply moves on to the next eligible applicants. The true choke point is not medical school. It is federally funded residency capacity. Medicare funding for graduate medical education has been effectively capped since the late 1990s, while medical school enrollment has expanded significantly. Congress allowed the front end of the pipeline to grow without expanding the training capacity required to absorb it. The result is a structural bottleneck. Every unmatched American graduate represents years of education, public investment, and personal sacrifice that never translates into patient care. The country produces doctors it refuses to finish training. The Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2025 would add 14,000 residency slots over seven years. That helps, but it does not come close to correcting decades of underinvestment. Until residency slots are expanded at scale, the United States will continue graduating qualified doctors who never get to practice medicine. Hospitals will then cite physician shortages, not because doctors do not exist, but because the system failed to train enough of them. There is NO shortage of talent. It is a shortage of residency slots. And that shortage is policy. There are American institutions actively lobbying against the placement of Americans.

🚨 BREAKING: The House of Representatives has just PASSED a bill requiring AUTOMATIC deportation of illegals who commit welfare fraud, 231-186 🔥 This is a NO BRAINER! But of course, 186 Democrats voted AGAINST this. REMINDER: Democrats are NOT ON THE SIDE of Americans. The fraud encompassed in this bill includes: - Social Security fraud, - SNAP (food assistance) fraud, - Mail fraud, - Conspiracy to defraud the U.S., - Theft or bribery involving federal funds, - Identification document fraud, - And other similar crimes involving government funds or public benefits.

🚨 WOW! This NYPD patriot just dropped STRAIGHT TRUTH on how the Irish worked hard, spoke English and BUILT the city THAT'S the kind of immigrant we liked — not 3rd world pirate TRASH that want Sharia Law! "The police department was predominantly Irish. Luck of the draw, no one wanted to hire any Irish, but they spoke the English language, so they ended up taking the job and built the city!" "The Sandhogs, construction, fire department, the New York City Police Department, mostly built with Irish!" H/t @townhallcom

Indians have quietly risen to become the #3 largest group of illegal aliens in the United States. Nearly 800,000 officially estimated but its likely more. Behind only Mexico and El Salvador. Many came on visas and simply overstayed or violated terms, then got placed into jobs through tight ethnic pipelines. What surprises a lot of people: certain Chinese, Venezuelan, and Haitian groups are also climbing fast in the rankings. The old narrative that it's mostly desperate border crossers from one region is outdated. The system now pulls from multiple pipelines, legal entry then illegal stay, organized placement while copying and sharing ID's. Numbers don't lie. Patterns don't lie. If you see illegal aliens working at your job site, report it to ICE. ICE Tip Line: 866-347-2423 (anonymous, 24/7) Online: ice.gov/webform/ice-ti…

🚨 JUST IN: Rep. Andy Ogles is filing legislation OVERTURNING the Hart-Celler Immigration Act of 1965 to bring back national origin restrictions on migration into the US LONG OVERDUE! Ogles' ASSIMILATION ACT will: - End Hart-Celler - Design immigration to "make America look like America again" - End H-1B visa scams - End chain migration 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@nypost He was there for months because he is fighting deportation. He is fighting to stay in a country he hates.

Mamdani claims he was defending free speech by hosting divisive Mahmoud Khalil at Gracie Mansion trib.al/T15uaJC

The same “GOP” senators who voted to keep giving welfare to noncitizens are now opposing passage of the SAVE America Act via standing filibuster. DO YOU GET IT!?

Universities are discovering a new trick. Take a non-STEM degree. Label it STEM. Why? Because STEM status unlocks 24-month OPT extensions, giving international graduates up to 3 years of work authorization without sponsorship. And the “STEM” coursework includes things like: • Project Management • Cost Benefit Analysis This isn’t really about science or engineering. It’s about expanding the OPT labor pipeline. @SenEricSchmitt @RepGosar @chiproytx @StephenM @SusieWiles

Start the process and remove @LeaderJohnThune

🚨If you are waiting in a long line at the airport call @SenSchumer’s office and demand that @DHSgov is funded: 📞 202-224-6542 It’s OUTRAGEOUS that Chuck Schumer and Democrats are playing politics at the expense of Americans! TSA agents need to be paid for the hard work they do to keep us safe while traveling ✈️ 🇺🇸

@mattvanswol @nicksortor @LeaderJohnThune He is part of the Uniparty. Against Trump.

@nicksortor @LeaderJohnThune The only reason to not bring the SAVE Act up for a vote is if you are a Democrat or corrupt. Perhaps Leader Thune is both.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump is DEMANDING the US Senate and @LeaderJohnThune pass the SAVE America Act through "WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY" "[The President's] desire to get this COUNTRY-SAVING legislation passed has been made quite clear. "He wants ALL options on the table, and he wants the Senate to move as quickly as possible—through whatever means necessary."

@EliseStefanik Why hasn't he been deported?

The heinously dangerous antisemitism and anti-Americanism that Khalil brought and wreaked havoc to Columbia’s campus has now been brought straight to the Mayor’s house for all New Yorkers to see. You don’t get a Socialist Antisemite Mayor without the moral and academic rot from our universities fueled partially by illegal foreign students like Khalil. I cover this in my upcoming book Poisoned Ivies publishing on April 14th. Khalil should have been deported a long time ago.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed because of the talking filibuster. Pass it on.

@EYakoby In a sane world that violent Syrian national would have already been deported.

In a sane world, this cop would be dining with the mayor, not a violent Syrian national.

@catturd2 Agree. But there are students with engineering and computer science degrees that are NOT getting jobs because of OPT and H1-B abuse. Those students have real degrees and are getting screwed by our own policies.

Worthless degrees and massive debt. And then they’ll brag about how educated they are - 😂

@mattvanswol Vote for the lesser of two evils.

So, long-time Republicans… Have you all basically just held your nose and voted for the GOP… …because as corrupt, pathetic, and useless as the GOP is, Democrats will literally destroy the country if they win so we just vote for the GOP, even knowing they actively hate Trump?

@LauraLoomer @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani Please expose who the radical muslims are. Did they enter through Biden's open borders?

@NYCMayor So @ZohranKMamdani calls Jake Lang a White Supremacist but he won’t describe who threw the bomb at Jake: A Muslim jihadist Mamdami supporter. White people founded our country, @ZohranKMamdani, & Muslims like you have never been a part of America’s founding. Go back to Uganda!

Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day. My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner.

@ChiefEngineerCE X still has a bunch lefties working there.

Possibly the strangest report I every had on my conduct by X
