@repmorgan @Rep_Magaziner @CBP Tell the whole truth! The so-called Big Beautiful Bill created a massive slush fund for ICE. There was no vote to defund. There was a vote to keep our airports in chaos and not give TSA workers paychecks and @SethMagaziner voted AGAINST continuing the chaos.
English
@PeteRicketts Hmm. The Senate passed a bipartisan deal by unanimous consent but the House rejected it. Your blame is on the wrong leader and wrong chamber. Also, the other airport in Houston is just fine: x.com/amie_just/stat…

Traveling home to Omaha: Lyft from downtown to Houston Hobby: 22 minutes Line to drop bags: 30 seconds From start of TSA line to going through security, including “random screening”: 4 minutes.
English
Husker fans are waiting in three-hour TSA lines to get home from Houston.
Chuck Schumer left TSA agents unpaid and created chaos at our airports – all so he could push a Defund the Police agenda. Unacceptable. It’s time to reopen the federal government.
Andy Kendeigh@AKendeighKETV
Success! Made it through TSA I’m a shade under 3 hours with @LaurenMichelson @KETV

@repmorgan @Rep_Magaziner @RepGabeAmo @CBP @ICEgov Tell the whole truth!!! The Senate has passed a bipartisan deal to fund our TSA workers. This bill you’re referencing would delay funding our TSA workers and continue the chaos at airports. Thank you to @SethMagaziner and @gabeamo for fighting to get TSA workers paid!
English
Both @Rep_Magaziner and @RepGabeAmo voted to Defund Law enforcement of our borders. They voted to give $0 to @CBP and @ICEgov . They do not care about American citizens
House Republicans@HouseGOP
Like a broken record, over 200 House Democrats voted AGAINST securing the homeland. THIS DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN MUST END!

Americans should not be paying more for medicine than the rest of the world.
Too many families are getting crushed by outrageous prescription costs while middlemen and corporate players keep cashing in.
That’s not healthcare.
That’s a rigged market.
Pillar 3: Affordability
No more inflated costs.
No more pricing games.
No more letting middlemen eat up the money that should stay in your pocket.
That’s why we need Most Favored Nation pricing.
President Trump already took action through executive order.
Now Congress needs to codify it into law so Big Pharma and the middlemen can’t undo it.
This is how we stop overpaying.
This is how we make healthcare more affordable.
This is how we put money back in your wallet.

In the end, no one objected to Thune recessing the Senate for 2 weeks last night
Senate will return April 13 to vote on a nomination
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee
Cancel the recess Fund DHS Pass the SAVE America Act Failure to do this will produce defeat In November

The GOP Senate leadership is blocking ONE OF THEIR OWN SENATORS from introducing a bill to pay TSA workers.
Andrew Desiderio@AndrewDesiderio
NEW: Sen. Kennedy (R-La.) says GOP leaders are holding open the current vote “intentionally” to block him from offering a unanimous consent request to fund TSA Vote has been open for 4 hours, all 100 senators have voted R’s want Trump to take exec action punchbowl.news/archive/32626-…

@Rep_Magaziner Thank you, Congressman, for being a voice of reason. Why can't ICE abide by the same restrictions as our local law enforcement? We need reforms to make sure they are accountable for their actions just like police, state patrol officers, and sheriffs around the country.
English
We can and should vote today to fund TSA, FEMA and other critical agencies.
But we are not going to throw billions of dollars more at ICE without real reforms.
English
@allymutnick Guessing that, if anything, the environment has deteriorated for Van Orden since the poll was conducted. Gas prices hitting even harder in rural areas in the northern midwest.

News: Rebecca Cooke (D) is up 1 over Rep Derrick Van Orden (R) in her internal #WI03 poll
From mid-Feb so over a month old but Trump won this seat by 7 points
Cooke - 49%
DVO - 48%
Undecided - 3%

@StevenTDennis They don’t want Democrats to vote for it. They want to end the filibuster so they don’t have to consider compromises.
English
This is not the kind of argument that will get Democratic votes. x.com/BasedMikeLee/s…
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee
If we don’t pass SAVE America, Democrats win in November If we pass SAVE America, we have a chance Failure is not an option
English
Lawmakers keep proposing new ways to pass the Save Act, but there is no way to pass it with a roll call vote* in the Senate without
1) 7 Democrats agreeing to end a Senate filibuster
2) Bypassing or nuking the Senate filibuster, which there are not presently the 50+ votes needed to do
*Mike Lee has posited that Democrats could eventually make a mistake that would allow a lightning strike passage of the Save Act (ie, not having someone on the floor to object to UC)
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna@RepLuna
The SAVE America Act cannot procedurally be passed through reconciliation. The parliamentarian will strip out provisions like voter ID, etc. Any Republican senator claiming it can be done that way is LYING. The SAVE America Act only stands a chance if it is attached to FISA.
English
Hard to put too fine of a point on this: Democrats are demanding reforms to an agency they’re unwilling to fund.
Erik Wasson@elwasson
THUNE rejects Dem offer as a 9 point wish list. Says Masks and Warrants on list. No point to counteroffer

@VicMellorForRI What Vic is not saying, but definitely knows, is that his policies would lead us back to a time when insurance companies can once again discriminate against people with preexisting conditions. Tell the WHOLE story Vic.
English
Healthcare in America is broken.
79% of Americans say the system is in crisis.
Premiums keep rising. Costs keep climbing. And families are stuck paying into a system they don’t control.
That ends with Pillar 1:
Personal Financial Control.
We stop sending your healthcare dollars to insurance companies and bureaucracies and start sending them directly to YOU.
Your own account.
Your own decisions.
Your own future.
This is what real reform looks like:
Your money follows YOU; not the system.
Unused dollars roll over and grow; not disappear.
You can invest in prevention, wellness, and real care; not just “sick care.”
And here’s the truth:
73% of Americans support this model.
67% are more likely to support leaders who fight for it.
Because people are done “renting” healthcare.
They want to OWN it.
This is how we take back control.
This is how we lower costs.
This is how we build a true Wellness Economy.
And I will fight to make it happen.

@repmorgan @Rep_Magaziner @SenJackReed Most of us have seen the videos of them killing American citizens. Is that what you’re referring to?
English
Has anyone seen the pictures and descriptions of the criminal illegals ERO has been taking out of our neighborhoods? Why would Democrats @Rep_Magaziner and @SenJackReed et all want to prevent their removal?
Bill Melugin@BillMelugin_
The DHS deal under consideration would fund all of DHS except for ICE's deportation wing, known as ERO (Enforcement & Removal Operations). Those are the frontline ICE agents you see. ICE has two major branches, ERO and HSI (Homeland Security Investigations). HSI typically focuses on human trafficking, sex trafficking, human smuggling etc. though the Trump administration has been using them for immigration enforcement as well. It sounds like HSI would be funded under this deal, but ERO would not. (ERO is funded with OBBB money through 2029, but their civilian support staff are not.) Democrats would not get the major reforms they had been demanding (unmasking, judicial warrants, etc) as part of this deal. Thoughts?
English
@repmorgan Why does this disparity exist? What, in your opinion, is the cause of the disparity? You need a diagnosis of the problem before you can offer real solutions.

RI was forcing communities across our state to build government housing.

White NYC households pay ~$54B in combined taxes and receive $15.5M back in NYCHA public housing. Using white as the index (1×), here is the benefit received per tax dollar: White: 1x Asian: 7.5× Black: 61× Hispanic: 67x

@ChrisCillizza Rhode Islander here. Foulkes is not well loved but will win by default if no other challenger emerges. But there’s definitely room to the left.

@Sean_Callahan Only one airport in Houston has had problems (IAH). Might be worth flying Southwest out of Houston Hobby to OMA on the way back.

Zero TSA line at Omaha Airport for those traveling to Houston. It was business as usual with the TSA team here.

Rhode Islanders ! You have been paying a heavy price for Democrat politicians need to continuously bring illegal immigrants in to our state to maintain their power.
Every illegal alien who comes into our state and takes benefits, occupies apartments with housing vouchers, clogs our emergency rooms for free healthcare, sends their ill-prepared children to our schools and demands instruction in their native language, gets free food, child care and utility assistance, and receives social security, for which they have never contributed one dime, is taking the money of hardworking citizens who go to work every day and struggle to pay their bills.
It is wrong! It must stop! They must return to their own countries.

Murkowski said today that under the SAVE Act, a couple in remote part of Alaska would have to take flight to Anchorage at a cost of $2,000, bring/fund/secure documents, spend a day off work, maybe leave kids at home: ie, a huge burden.
She also strongly opposes objects to immediate effective date so people can’t plan such trips.

@midpushMike @FrankLuntz Because Democrats control the White House, Senate, and House? Oh wait…
English
@JDFinRI @FrankLuntz And the Democrats are making a case for privatization.
English
At 20 airports in the U.S., security screening is handled not by the TSA, but by private companies… And their checkpoints aren’t seeing long lines.
Airports like SFO, MCI (Kansas City), SFB (Orlando Sanford), and 17 smaller facilities participate in TSA’s Screening Partnership Program which uses contractors at checkpoints.

We cannot let this crisis be used to further normalize CLEAR. It is an insane thing that should not be allowed to exist. We should not have a Disneyland FastPass system for airports.
