The Senate needs to do two things IMMEDIATELY ⬇️ 1) Fully fund Homeland Security 2) Pass the SAVE America Act This can’t happen if we’re on recess AND have a filibuster standing in the way. BRING THE SENATE BACK and BLOW UP the filibuster!

Convene The Senate Now

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

The Senate GOP has exactly two options if it wants to avoid drifting into irrelevance and a stunning loss in November: (1) Keep the filibuster and 60-vote cloture rule fully intact, but stand ready to overcome Senate Democrats’ unprecedented pattern of obstruction by aggressively enforcing the “talking filibuster”—a move that would require senators to work longer, harder hours and take fewer recesses, but lead to more thoughtful, careful deliberation in the legislative process, OR (2) Nuke the filibuster. I strongly prefer the first option. But we must choose either one or the other—because the status quo isn’t working and the resulting inertia isn’t just making it impossible to pursue a coherent agenda; it’s hurting the American people. What’s your preference?

You put a bill on the floor for *one day* and look what happens.

Important news - Restore Britain now has more members than the Conservative Party. Our aim is clear. Win the next general election - I am increasingly confident that we can achieve that. Enjoy the weekend, patriots.
