@ScottforFlorida Have you moved to unseat Thune yet? If not, why should I believe a word you say? I'm a constituent.

The filibuster was NEVER supposed to be a weapon for the radical left to stop us from delivering on President Trump’s agenda.
IT MUST GO!

@SenateGOP Who do I thank for the SAVE act not being passed yet? Hint-- it's not the Dems.
English
Thank a Democrat for long lines and disrupted air travel.
Thank President Trump for doing everything he can to keep airports open.

@mattvanswol It takes to time to emotionally accept that people can be this evil. But just because everyone wears the same jersey doesn't meant they're even remotely all on the same team.

So let me get this straight...
The EXACT SAME PEOPLE who gave Elon Musk a standing ovation for DOGE, and then only voted on 1 DOGE cut...
...are the SAME PEOPLE saying we need secure elections, but won't pass the SAVE Act????

@dandinohill @bluestate64 @SenateGOP Where the primaries fail, though, we absolutely need for the RINO's to lose to Dems. Then we can beat the Dems down the line and it's a long-term gain at short-term cost. Not ideal, but what other strategy is available that hasn't already been tried and failed?

@bluestate64 @SenateGOP First part is to use the primaries to get rid of as many RINOs (Lindsey Graham comes to mind) as possible.

Passing a bill (SAVE Act) that 85% of Americans want passed was just toooo hard for our hard working @SenateGOP .
And calling out John Thune and Mitch McTurtle for their obstruction of the America First agenda was (you guessed it) just tooo hard for even one Republican Senator.

To hire an H-1B worker, companies must sign a federal form saying they can't find qualified Americans.
We pulled 15 years of filings. Analyzed the top 5.
314,100 times they said no Americans available.
99,000 times they fired Americans.
Signed under oath. Exposed by data.
Official Layoff@LayoffAI
Amazon: 30,000 Americans laid off. 12,000 H-1B visas approved. Same window. Meta: 16,000 out. 5,000 visas in. Microsoft: 3,426 out. 5,000 visas in. AI is taking the jobs. And the ones AI doesn’t take, they’re offshoring. This is accelerating rapidly before our eyes.

@BasedMikeLee Too many people have failed to notice that the Republic is on fire and has been for at least ten years now. Arguably even longer. The flames are only getting hotter and higher, and SAVE is how you at least begin to douse them. Yes. You need to get the _hell_ back to DC.

The Senate must reconvene
Immediately
A staggering 260,000 DHS employees and their families have gone without pay for more than a month
This is not a time for any Senate recess—let alone an unusually long one
Nor was it a good time to recess a month ago—at the beginning of the DHS shutdown—when the Senate recessed for ten days, ignoring my stern warnings about the dire consequences that decision would produce
As it turns out, I was right; what I warned would happen has happened
To double down on the same mistake now—and recess for not just for one week but for two—would be unforgivable
Bad things happen when we make bad decisions
And bad decisions are far more likely to occur when scheduling decisions are prompted more by a desire to let senators leave Washington—whether for international travel or just to go home—than to achieve favorable policy outcomes
The Post Millennial@TPostMillennial
House GOP proposes 60-day CR with full DHS funding—likely rejecting Senate deal ow.ly/Ip7r50YzZjE

@tedcruz I'm glad you noticed this event. But for the love of God get back to DC and pass SAVE!

⚡️Bukele is hated by a lot of elites because he proved that large parts of social collapse were tolerated, not unavoidable.
He destroyed the professional alibi. He showed that if a state decides order matters more than procedural vanity, activist status games, and bureaucratic self-protection, it can reassert control very fast.
That is the wound.
A huge amount of modern leadership culture is built around managed helplessness. Crime is “complex.” Disorder is “systemic.” Decline is “multifactor.” Public misery gets translated into language that removes agency from the people in charge. Bukele broke that machine. He made the issue embarrassingly concrete. Use power. Back the police. Crush gang control. Reclaim territory. Restore fear of the state. Suddenly the old excuses sound fake.
That is why the hatred is so intense. He did not just change El Salvador. He exposed a ruling-class preference. Many leaders would rather preside over decay than be accused of being too harsh while stopping it. They fear moral contamination more than they fear public ruin. Bukele reversed that hierarchy and won.
The part people still do not say out loud is even simpler. Disorder benefits insulated elites more than they admit. They do not live inside the consequences the way ordinary people do. They can moralize from protected neighborhoods, private schools, guarded buildings, and abstract language. The working and middle classes eat the actual cost. Bukele made that arrangement harder to hide.
My real view is this:
He proved that state weakness in many places was a choice.
He also proved that restoring order requires concentrated coercive power and a leader willing to absorb elite disgust. That is the trade. People who praise him usually understate the concentration-of-power part. People who hate him usually lie about the order-restoration part.
The deepest truth is this:
Bukele is dangerous to the prestige class because he turned their favorite sentence into a joke.
“We can’t” became “you wouldn’t.”
Geiger Capital@Geiger_Capital
The reason many of our leaders hate people like Nayib Bukele in El Salvador is because he has quickly proven that crime and societal decline are not inevitable or beyond control… It’s a deliberate choice allowed by weak leaders, terrible policies and suicidal empathy.

I don't believe American First Conservatives understood the depth of hatred that Establishment Republicans have for President Trump and his agenda to clean up DC.
John Thune knows that he holds the most powerful position in Congress. And he's using that power to slow down and in some cases outright stop the president's platform.
The RNC has clearly shown very little interest in winning the midterms. State and local GOP parties are actively removing America First voters from leadership positions.
Evangelicals were stripped of their power base during the platform debates leading up to the 2024 election.
And the Establishment has installed their own fake "conservative pundits" within many of the major cable television networks.
Thune and the Establishment Republicans are hoping for a Blue Wave in November. They know that's the only way to destroy President Trump and the America First movement.
After the midterms there will be a ferocious effort to purge from the party all of the populists and America First Conservatives.
Pay attention, friends.

Flashback: Joe Biden attempts to decree a non-existent Constitutional Amendment into law, just because he said so.
“It’s the law of the land, now!"
The No Kings types clapped and cheered.

I'm content with my vote for Trump, and the House is no worse than average. Maybe even a bit better. But I've never been so disgusted in my life with a governmental body as I currently am with the US senate. Enraged and disgusted both. Never!

All this time John Thune was telling me they needed sixty votes when he could have done it with five, and a vacation on the calendar?
