Want to know how we got here—with Schumer trying to defund ICE and DHS unless we hogtie their ability to enforce immigration law?
Senate Democrats used the Zombie Filibuster to seize the control panel the Senate—at a time when Republicans hold the majority
Many insist that we had no choice but to give them the wheel (or the pen) because “we can’t pass a bill without 60 votes” and we have only 53 Republicans
That oft-repeated mantra—which so many of us (myself included) believed for years—is built on a lie
It’s a lie backed up by a desire to make the Senate function comfortably—in some ways more like a retirement home than a hard-charging legislative body
Today’s Senate is often described—mostly by its own members—as “the world’s greatest deliberative body”
That self-congratulatory title is one that the Senate once earned and deserved, but can no longer truthfully claim without violating even the most lenient truth-in-advertising standards
Sure, it takes 60 votes to bring debate to a close
But that’s not the only way to end a filibuster
Another method exists—one that doesn’t depend on the 60-vote cloture rule—it just hasn’t been used in a long time
It involves exhausting senators who want to filibuster—by making them actually speak
Schumer and the Senate Democrats achieved sweeping wins with this spending package, coercing many Republicans to go along with them, without actually filibustering
Or even having to speak
Or even spend more than a few seconds on the Senate floor
This, of course, is 🦇💩 🤪
Americans have had it with this game—because it sucks
It’s time to Make Elections Matter Again
It’s time to Make America’s Borders Enforceable Again
It’s time, my fellow Americans, to Make Our Senators Speak Again
Down with the Zombie Filibuster
Restore the Talking Filibuster
Please ask where your senators stand on this—and let them know your take!

Let’s break down a few of @SenSchumer’s demands for DHS funding: 1. Requiring judicial warrants for ICE arrests Every illegal alien for whom DHS serves an administrative warrant has already had full due process and a final order for removal from an immigration judge. Requiring a new judicial warrant would be akin to letting an illegal immigrant child rapist run free until they commit another rape, so that they could be served a judicial warrant for arrest and removal. That is an affront to justice, puts Americans in harm’s way, and is – frankly – asinine.
