Texas T

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.

@EricLDaugh Go home!!!

🚨 SEN. TOMMY TUBERVILLE JUST ERUPTED ON THE SENATE FLOOR He says foreigners are RUINING American schools, our kids hear nothing but endless foreign languages, and became the minority in their OWN COUNTRY "Mass migration is destroying our educational system...more and more American kids are entering the classroom, hearing multiple languages, being spoken around them every day, and having a difficult time making friends because they are now the minorities in the school" "We're having enough problems with our education system when our kids can't understand the language that the other people are speaking." "That goes with our higher education, who have teachers and professors coming from other countries that can't speak English that are teaching our kids in higher education, and our kids are paying a fortune to go to these four-year schools." "Enough's enough! This is an English language country, and that's how we speak. That's how we communicate." "The purpose of our immigration system should be to benefit hard-working American taxpayers. Do you think mass immigration is benefiting this country? Absolutely NOT!" "There's not one benefit to it. And the next is the exact opposite of what we should be doing. You know, mass immigration is a leech that is slowly bleeding this country dry, and politicians and the people across the country better open their eyes."

@JohnCornyn Vote for Ken Paxton Texas can do so much better than John Cornyn!

Ask yourself: why is it that Texas’ chief law-enforcement officer is not endorsed by any law-enforcement organization? Inquiring minds want to know.

@C_3C_3 They cheated in 2016 too, they just didn't cheat enough to get Hillary elected. They underestimated how much people hate her.

What actually happened… 2016: Trump won in a landslide and they were shocked. 2020: Trump won in a landslide and they stole it. 2024: Trump won in a landslide and they could not stop it. Facts.

@RepKeithSelf Looking like you need to get rid of Thune to get it done! Pretty sure Americans are good with that!

The Senate must either use the filibuster the way it was intended or nuke it. Inaction is NOT an option.

@greta Jerome Powell is stupid!

One good thing about Jerome Powell not our Fed Chair is that Trump will stop calling him stupid - I found that insult disturbing since Powell went to law school with me and did better than I did. :)

When I ran for mayor of Houston, I spent $13 million of my own money trying to get elected. The voters spoke. I got my ass kicked. Houston is a Democrat city. The money I spent was all my own. It was a waste and I was a fool. We are seeing the same type of foolishness in this US Senate Republican primary. Cronyn has spent well over $100 million as opposed to Paxton who has spent around $5 million. The difference? Old Corn ball is spending and wasting other people’s money. Catch a clue Corn dog. The Republicans don’t want you.

@SenJohnBarrasso You mean like the Save Act??? Trust me the American People are wondering what the hell y'all are doing too!

It's embarrassing that it takes longer to approve everyday projects today than it took to build the wonders of the modern world. I'm introducing legislation to break the bottlenecks in federal permitting. America is a nation of builders not a nation of waiters.

@BreitbartNews Creep!

Mike Pence: "I think Republicans ought to do a lot of soul-searching" before 2028 "I think Republicans face a new time of choosing — whether we're going to stay on the path of the traditional conservative principles that have always defined our party for the last half century, or whether we're going to follow the siren song of populism" "We've always been a party committed to low taxes, including low tariffs and free trade. Now, as we witnessed, the president imposed unilateral tariffs on friend and foe alike until the Supreme Court stepped in and used the Constitution to turn him back." "I know Donald Trump better than his most ardent defenders know him. Okay? And he is not ideological. In fact, he often bristled when I would refer to policies as conservative. He would, with a wave of a hand, say to me, 'That's just common sense.' But now, as you see the stops and starts on our support for Ukraine under this administration, nationalizing American businesses, unilateral tariffs, price controls on everything from pharmaceuticals to credit cards, all of this should should create a backdrop for a very healthy debate over whether we're going to stay moving in the direction, on these issues, that President Trump has led our party, or whether we're going to re-ground ourselves back to those timeless conservative principles, I think, that have always made not only our party successful but, more importantly, have made America strong and prosperous and free."

@SenRickScott We get why the Democrats are blocking the Save Act what we don't understand is why the Senate is blocking it? Good question huh?

The Democrats know they can’t win elections if you have to show an ID to vote. That’s why they’re doing EVERYTHING they can to block the SAVE America Act. They want illegal aliens to vote. We can’t let them succeed. We can’t stop fighting until we SECURE OUR ELECTIONS.

@kellytx2 I'm voting early for Ken Paxton!!!

Two geriatric failures who champion endless wars, illegal immigration, and RINOs exactly like themselves.

@ScottPresler Absolutely I'm voting for Ken Paxton all the way!!! Praying for President Trump to endorse him. Trump knows what a RINO Cornyn is!

President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. His influence is enormous, which was evident in the Indiana State Senate elections. Question for Texans: If Trump made an endorsement that was NOT for Ken Paxton, would you still vote for Ken Paxton on Tuesday, May 26th?

@ScottPresler Absolutely

@DefiantLs @JovanHPulitzer Excuse me but has he been snorting the baby blue meth again???

Breaking Bad actor: "This is the time for a revolution" "They can't take us all down. If the whole world showed up... in Washington, they'll kill a 500, 50 million or however... The rest of us would survive"

In normal times, a sitting U.S. Senator going on television & sharing classified information that could be useful to our enemies is a scandal. Mark Kelly has repeatedly elevated his own partisan interests over what is in the best interest of America. At least we're being honest.

@ChairmanGruters If they pass the Save Act, If they codify Trump's Executive Orders into law, if the Nuke the Filibuster, if they get their shit together they will win! We already gave them the Win! They are blowing it! Republicans in the House and Senate GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!

If our candidates embrace President Trump, his agenda, and run on his record of success, Republicans will win this fall.

We Texans had to fight John Cornyn on the border wall. Now acts holier-than-thou and MAGA. Texans don’t forget. We’re reminding the entire country of his liberal receipts. Ken Paxton is going to D.C. Corny’s out.

@TeamCornyn @JohnCornyn @barrassoforwyo Kiss off! I'm voting for Ken Paxton! Texas needs better than John Cornyn!!!

Senator John Barrasso (@barrassoforwyo) came to Texas to stand with me because he knows what's at stake. Conservative fighters back conservative fighters. I'm grateful for his support and I need yours.

@allenanalysis Oh bullshit you pissy whiney baby!

Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.” Durbin: “Driver’s licenses don’t qualify. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.” Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?” Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?” Silence. The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote. 50% of Americans don’t have a passport. The people least likely to have one: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters. The people most likely to have one: wealthy Americans..

@amuse Texans are done with RINO Cornyn!!! Done! Done! Done!

TEXAS SENATE RACE: Senator Cornyn’s team either is lying to him about his overwhelming lack of popularity or he’s gaslighting us. Look, I am very close to the Paxton camp and I would know if they were paying ‘influencers’ - they’re not.
