🚨🔥💥 THE CLOCK IS TICKING AND THUNE IS ON VACATION AGAIN🔥🚨
GOV. RON DESANTIS JUST DROPPED THE TRUTH BOMB:
“I’d roll COTS into the Senate Cloakroom and make them work AROUND THE CLOCK — because starting January 3rd you are NOT confirming a single conservative judge!” 💯🛏️⚡️
We have WEEKS left before Democrats take the gavel and slam the door shut on Trump’s judicial nominees forever. Judges serve for LIFE. Every single day matters. ⚖️
Instead of lightning-speed confirmations and RECONCILIATION, they’re packing their bags.
Thune’s team admits they originally planned to bounce TUESDAY — Democrats are now using every procedural trick in the book to drag it out.
HOW DO YOU GET ANYTHING DONE WITH LOSER THUNE IN CHARGE?! 😡
Cancel the weekend. Bring in the cots. Confirm every last one. NOW. 🚀

He worked hardest on his own reelection. Glad to see his priorities are straight. 😒

🚨 WOW! Rep. Tim Burchett is LIGHTING UP the Senate for sitting on his bill to stop American money from reaching the TALIBAN.
The House already passed the No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act.
Burchett says about $40 MILLION A WEEK is still going out the door. The Senate hasn't even held a vote.
These are the same terrorists who killed 13 American service members at Abbey Gate.
Every week the Senate stalls, the Taliban gets paid with YOUR tax dollars.
Pass the bill. NOT ONE MORE DOLLAR.

John Thune seems confused about why he isn't liked in "online world."
He says being hated is a "daily experience" for him.
He said, "I don't know that they necessarily told me anything I got wrong."
Ok, I'll start.....
1) Oct. 8, 2016: he said Trump "should withdraw and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately."
2) Dec. 2020: he said a challenge to the Electoral College would "go down like a shot dog."
3) 2022: he said he hoped Republicans would have "other options" besides Trump.
4) 2023: he endorsed Tim Scott, and didn't back Trump until Feb. 2024.
5) He voted for the $95 billion Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan aid package.
6) He requested $116 million in earmarks while voting to strip earmarks.
7) He used pro forma sessions to block recess appointments.
8) He refused Trump's call to end blue slips.
9) The House passed the SAVE Act. It died in the Senate 48-50, and a narrower voter ID bill died too.
10) He refused to nuke the filibuster or force a talking filibuster.
11) He waved off the SAVE Act pressure as a "paid influencer ecosystem."
12) When McConnell vanished for 3 months, Thune said it was "between Sen. McConnell and the people of Kentucky."
13) About 161 Trump nominations are still waiting, including 25 judges, and Democrats take over in January.
14) And he still feels no sense of urgency, and no realization of his own failures.
What did I leave off the list?

Dear @LeaderJohnThune,
Why did you BLOCK Trump's recess appointments?
Why are there 700+ bills waiting in the Senate?
Why did you take MONTHS-LONG vacations?
Did you pass the SAVE AMERICA Act?
Did defund the Taliban?
No, you didn't.
You failed the American people, miserably.

Almost nobody is talking about this, and it should outrage every American:
Just yesterday, Republicans in the House and Senate picked their leaders for the next Congress.
Behind closed doors - by SECRET BALLOT.
In the House, Jim Jordan beat Steve Scalise 106-73. The only reason we even know the count is because lawmakers leaked it to reporters.
In the Senate, John Thune was handed his job again after a wipeout that cost Republicans at least seven seats. Senators who wanted to delay the vote were shot down 31-15. Also in secret.
We don't know who voted for who. Not one name.
Democrats do the exact same thing.
Here's the part that should make your blood boil:
NOTHING in the Constitution requires a secret ballot.
NOTHING in federal law requires it.
They made this rule up themselves and they could end it tomorrow with one vote. They just don't want to.
We elected these people.
We pay their salaries.
We pay their staff.
We pay for their offices.
We pay for their security.
We pay their pensions.
They're using our money to run a private club that decides who runs Congress on our behalf.
That's not representation - that's a secret society.
Every one of these votes should be public, on the record, with a name attached.
If you're proud of your vote, show it.
If you're hiding it, the voters deserve to know why.
END THE SECRET BALLOT - NOW!

Days Trump has been POTUS: 2,123
Days GOP controlled Congress: 1,375
Days Congress was on recess: 897 (42%)
Trump recess appointments allowed by Congress: 0
Trump is the only POTUS in history to have recess appointments blocked by his own party.
Not Democrats.
McConnell and Thune.
Traitors.

🚨 JOHN THUNE IS A COWARD: Asked why he wanted the job again with so many people angry at him, Thune said, "I love the fight."
Then he told Bret to "Stay off social media."
He "loves the fight" but wouldn't force one on VOTER ID. Wouldn't force one on the SAVE America Act. Wouldn't codify a single DOGE cut.
A man who loves the fight doesn't run from every one of them.
That's not a leader. That's a COWARD.

You had TWO YEARS to get it done. You had people gavel in while you scheduled vacations for the Senate, and now you make a post sounding like it's a sacrifice to do the job that you didn't get done in the first place!
.@SenateGOP is committed to being here and doing whatever it takes to finish this legislative session strong and get as much done as we can for the American people.

🔥🚨 TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON JUST EXPOSED THE TRUTH: OVER 700 BILLS ARE SITTING ON JOHN THUNE’S DESK GATHERING DUST RIGHT NOW!
In the 119th Congress the House Republicans passed 1,000 measures — almost 700 of them are STACKED UP and rotting in the Senate hopper.
“The House has been one of the most productive chambers in the modern era… but the Senate BLOCKED it all.”
SEN. JOHN THUNE IS A FAILURE.
The House keeps delivering. The Senate keeps stalling. America is waiting.
WHY is Thune letting 700 bills collect dust while the clock runs out?! 🇺🇸

BREAKING: Tim Burchett just TOOK THE GLOVES OFF and called out the person suspected to be behind the stalling of his bill to stop paying the Taliban. This is HUGE!!!
"We got a fellow over in the Senate who is a staffer, but he was a former, I believe, ambassador to Afghanistan, and his name is what?"
"Tom West. And apparently, our good friend, Tulsi Gabbard and the Trump administration denied him his security clearance because of his alleged cozy relationship with the Taliban. And so, I suspect that's what's going on in the Senate. That's why they are, they're stopping the bill."
If this is true, it's a BETRAYAL of epic proportions. He also said there are GOP Senators who are likely getting KICKBACKS from Afghanistan.
DEFUND THE TALIBAN, THEY CAN HATE US FOR FREE!
W.H.G

There is no politician that has done more harm to America in its history than John Thune, by not passing the Save America Act. He not only doesn’t deserve to be reelected to leadership, he needs to be thrown out of office.
