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.

Every senator will soon be on the record with an up-or-down vote so the American people can know exactly where they stand on voter ID. I don’t know how Democrats will be able to explain being against commonsense voter ID requirements, but I can’t wait to hear them try.

@flat3rth That's what I paid the last time an animal that I took in needed to be fixed.

You aren't even going to believe this!!!
I just called the Vet to get prices on how much it will cost for me to get my animals fixed.
Male dog large: $335
Female: $360
Male Cat: $210
Female: $250
Unfreaking believable!

This information is stunning, but thorough and, for those of us who have been living through it, long overdue. Now its time for the perpetrators of this massive conspiracy to get indicted for these crimes.

Daryl Hannah slams FX's #LoveStory for "lies" and "textbook misogyny" and says she's been getting "threatening messages from viewers" over her portrayal.
"A recent tragedy-exploiting television series features a character using my name and presents her as me. The choice to portray her as irritating, self-absorbed, whiny and inappropriate was no accident... The character ‘Daryl Hannah’ portrayed in the series is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John. The actions and behaviors attributed to me are untrue. I have never used cocaine in my life or hosted cocaine-fueled parties. I have never pressured anyone into marriage. I have never desecrated any family heirloom or intruded upon anyone’s private memorial. I have never planted any story in the press. I never compared Jacqueline Onassis’ death to a dog’s. It’s appalling to me that I even have to defend myself against a television show. These are not creative embellishments of personality. They are assertions about conduct — and they are false.” (via The New York Times)

Bill Ackman and Tucker have beef. I don’t care. I quite like Ackman’s essays and find him interesting on many subjects. If you lack the ability to compartmentalize, you belong in a halfway house. I am not your therapist,
Cernovich@Cernovich
For the 1,000,000th time. I don’t care who likes or doesn’t Tucker or anyone. I don’t care who likes me even. I am telling you. He is highly popular and relevant. If this is too much to handle, then this is a you problem.

Maybe Rubio should stop inventing "imminent threats" to justify the war his administration started and get to work doing his department's job of helping Americans in the war zone they created.

@melz1033 @MattWalshBlog Lots of neighborhoods in central fl are like this. Heathrow area, lake mary, waterford lakes.. on ski lakes especially. 20 + kids will be on the water all day. The difference is its way harder to let younger ones go. middle school and older

Nope, it still happens and isn't that hard. Love that my kids still have a neighborhood to roam and friends to grow up with! My husband and I call them the "neighborhood nomads" cause we never really know where they are and they are out all day/night and we see them for snacks and dinner 😅

It’s not just nostalgia. This was our childhood and it’s gone now. As a parent you can, through great effort, create the conditions for some version of this for your own children today. But the problem is that most of the other kids are screen addicted zombies who don’t really want to run around outside until the streetlights turn on. So an energetic, free spirited kid who’d rather climb a tree than stare at a screen ends up being kind of isolated. 30 years ago he’d have been the most popular kid in the neighborhood. Now the other kids in the neighborhood are home with the screen and he’s climbing the tree by himself.

I don’t care how you feel about Iran. Disrespecting our Warfighters that paid the ultimate price FOR THEIR COUNTRY is UNACCEPTABLE! @megynkelly you need to issue a retraction and an apology IMMEDIATELY!

We’ve totally accepted the fact that around 40,000 people a year — roughly the lives we lost in Vietnam — die every year on our roads. Future generations are going to find it unbelievable that people ever died on routine trips to school or the grocery store. Huge societal improvement that mostly isn’t being talked about very much.

Bought a Tesla yesterday and I’m already blown away by how incredible the self driving function is. I’m even more convinced now that within a generation driving a car is going to be like riding a horse, something a small minority of people do for fun.

“You either need to transition your child or you don’t get to keep your child.” Attorney Erin Friday says California Child Protective Services can threaten parents who refuse to use their child’s preferred pronouns. She told me she feared calling the police when her 13 year old daughter ran away because she worried CPS would take her child. “My daughter, who was 13 years old, just starting high school, was secretly socially transitioned at school.” “The school started to call my daughter by a male name, use male pronouns.” “When I called the school and told them to stop, that next week Child Protective Services was at my door.” “The next day, the police.” “That was an immediate alert to me that the school wants to parent my child.” “If I didn’t follow and call my daughter a boy, Child Protective Services may come and take my child away.” “Parents in Southern California had lost custody of their children because they wouldn’t transition their daughter.” “I already had a black mark, and a few months later my daughter ran away.” “The normal thing for a parent to do is to ask law enforcement to help find your child… but I couldn’t make that phone call.” “Because Child Protective Services can swoop in anytime and take my child.” “It’s coercion at its highest level.” “You don’t get to parent your child.” “This is America. This is insane.” @erinfriday75490
