I can't remember everyone I followed... It sure is a pain starting over from nothing.

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.

@samstein One of those options is an attempt to interfere with ICE's ability to enforce federal immigration law. The other is an attempt to pay TSA agents. I'll let you figure out which is which.

I'm trying to make sure i understand this. Republicans did not want to pass a standalone bill to pay TSA agents but they supportive of Trump using emergency authorities to pay TSA agents?

@marceelias Yes how dare he obtain three court-approved search warrants to seize the ballots. 🙄

The California sheriff who last month seized over 650,000 ballots has ties to a movement of radical right-wing local enforcement officials that has embraced election denialism and conspiracism. democracydocket.com/opinion/califo…

@David_J_Bier @b_connerton No you are the wrong one here.

@b_connerton No they don’t. You are the odd one here

How they are celebrating the decline not in illegal immigration but TOTAL immigration tells you everything about their ideology

@David_J_Bier Yes the Democrats have let in too many illegal aliens so there is no room for legal immigrants. Total immigration moratorium is the result.

@FoxSam89391 @0liviajulianna Dyslexia is a learning disability Retardation is an intellectual disability. You likely fall into the latter category. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@ArdriBawkBawk @0liviajulianna That is literally the same thing

Pretty gross to watch Trump and the clowns at Fox News laugh at Gavin Newsom for having dyslexia! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!

@tunak @mattyglesias Right, the "fund all of DHS except for ICE bill" is definitely a "standalone bill" that doesn't try to "limit ICE". 🤦🏼‍♂️

@ArdriBawkBawk @mattyglesias Wrong! The TSA funding bill is a standalone bill.

Democrats have been pushing a standalone TSA funding bill, Republicans have been blocking it. Now instead of taking yes for an answer, Trump is going to try to achieve the same goal but illegally?

@IAmSophiaNelson Many such cases. x.com/i/status/18931…

This is a violation of federal law. No president can have his image on currency or his signature while in office or alive. I will pull the statutes.

@olieolie @mattyglesias Pretty sure they are not interested in fucking you ma'am.

@ArdriBawkBawk @mattyglesias Fuck ICE

@RandomHvacGuy What if I'm a Jew? Does that make all my problems your fault?

Not a single one of your problems is because of the Jews.

@klara_sjo But were they trans?

Big if true!

@RandomHvacGuy Step 1) Eat all your Babybel cheese and save the wax. Step 2) Use part of your shoelace and the cheese wax to make a candle Step 3) Use the pilot flame on your water heater to like the cheese candle Step 4) Profit

My lighter died 😔 How am i gonna do my drugs?

@CREWcrew ICE is not federal troops. 👍🏻

18 U.S. Code § 592 makes it a crime punishable by 5 years in prison to deploy federal troops to polling places x.com/HQNewsNow/stat…

@esjesjesj Too many retards in the replies don't understand the difference between registering to vote and voting or the fact that the SAVE America Act does not require you to re-register.

@esjesjesj Yes, showing an ID is super hard if you're retarded.

It objectively makes legal voting harder. You cannot argue against this

@MidyettRox @JonHardwick98 @esjesjesj The SAVE America Act does not require you to re-register so the way your conflating registration with millions of people being immediately unable to vote is incredible. It's simple... You should have to prove your citizenship in order to register to vote.

@ArdriBawkBawk @JonHardwick98 @esjesjesj The way you're seperating voting and registration here is incredible! Its like saying you don't need car keys to drive, only to start the car

@USApatriot350 @DevilDodger78 @SixersBirdsPhil @esjesjesj In which states? And how is the fact that in more than one state your statement is factually inaccurate relevant to this discussion?

@DevilDodger78 @SixersBirdsPhil @esjesjesj @ArdriBawkBawk Purchasing yes, manufacturing no. You can build your own pistol and it doesn’t have to be serialized

@USApatriot350 @SixersBirdsPhil @esjesjesj Yes, that's what I'm saying. 🙄

@ArdriBawkBawk @SixersBirdsPhil @esjesjesj So you’re saying the current government doesn’t want Voter ID, Flock Cameras, and expansion of the surveillance state through Palantir?
