.@patrickmosolf, Democrat candidate for VA-02, refuses to answer questions about Virginia’s 10-1 map.
“How is a 10-1 map fair?"
Mosolf: “I wasn’t expecting someone to come along and stick a camera up at me. I’m not interested in having that conversation right now.
“So you're not going to answer?”
Mosolf: “I normally talk to people when they’re not holding a camera at me.”
PATHETIC.

Hello Senator Thune,
At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP.
Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept.
You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to.
You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to.
You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to.
Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats.
Let's be precise about what you did:
1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer.
2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM.
3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding.
The precedent you set:
You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins.
But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered:
• Voice vote to avoid accountability
• Empty chamber to avoid debate
• Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny
• Immediate recess to avoid questions
You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one.
What you've actually accomplished:
Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded.
Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded.
And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning.
The question you should answer:
Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM?
Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record?
You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like.
Here's my message: We saw it anyway.
Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome.
Own it.

Let’s summarize where we are after a 40+ day Democrat shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.
1) ICE and CBP are funded, thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts and the foresight of President Trump and Republicans in Congress.
2) After holding DHS and the American people hostage for over 40 days, Dems got ZERO restrictions that would prevent ICE and CBP agents from doing their jobs safely.
3) Due to Dem obstruction of the appropriations process, ICE and CBP will get even more funding through budget reconciliation.
4) Dems have once again established themselves as the “Open Borders, Defund the Police” party heading into an election.
5) Dem leadership has proven once again they can’t be trusted to make a deal.
Which begs the question if you’re a Dem senator or one of their left-wing supporters: What was this really all about?

Every single market where Democrats are up for election needs ads run like these. Too bad the "party" isn't running them - social media creators are. Great job.

Jon Ossoff doesn’t care about the TSA, Coast Guard, and CPB employees going without pay. He doesn’t care about the families waiting in hours long security lines missing their flights. Jon Ossoff doesn’t care about you.

The divide in America is between those who think this is hilarious and those who find it horrifying.
(H/T It’s hilarious)

This might actually be Trump's funniest moment 😂 Japanese Reporter: Why didn't you tell us before you struck Iran? Trump: "Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" 💀🔥😂

If you demand the Senate to immediately pass the SAVE America Act, drop a “👍” down below
LAST CHANCE TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD

🚨 HOLY CRAP: A full Senate floor takeover is now on the table to force a vote on the SAVE America Act.
Sen. Mike Lee says if Democrats want to filibuster, then MAKE THEM STAND THERE AND TALK.
No more hiding.
No more coward’s cover.
Drag it out for as long as it takes until they fold.
The American people deserve a vote.
PASS THE SAVE America Act. 🔥🔥🔥
Should Democrats be forced to stand and actually filibuster the SAVE America Act in public?
A. Yes, make them speak
B. No, keep current rules
C. Force a vote now
D. Pass SAVE immediately
English

I will lead Senate Democrats in blocking the SAVE Act this week no matter what it takes.
Why? The SAVE Act:
1. Prevents millions of American citizens from voting by requiring birth certificate or passport to vote
2. Decimates vote-by-mail
3. Forces Americans to register to vote in person
4. Let’s Trump purge whomever he wants from the voter rolls
