Just left the White House. POTUS wants the SAVE America Act passed! Voter ID is number one. Today, Schumer said he wants mass amnesty for all illegals and to immediately stop all ICE efforts.

After speaking with many senators, as well as directly with POTUS, the pathway forward is through the standing filibuster. This would effectively keep the government open while allowing Republican senators to break through the “zombie” filibuster and put the SAVE America Act up for a vote on the Senate floor.

The standing filibuster is not common parliamentary procedure, but it is one of the only mechanisms available to go around senators who want to block voter ID.

@LeaderJohnThune we are very pleased that you are discussing the standing filibuster, and we believe you will go down in history if this is pulled off as one of the best leaders the Senate has ever had. Voter ID is a must, and the ball is now in your court.

What was she wearing? Burchett allowed her to speak after she rudely interrupted. Maybe she will make it up to him.

Congress sure does twist themselves into pretzels with parliamentary verbiage to avoid doing meaningful work. Why don’t they just create the “octopus filibuster” and knock out a bunch of shite at once?

They forget that it was for 2 dem senators that he filibuster remained intact.

These 2 are no longer in the Senate and when the Democrats regain the majority against the filibuster is done.

But repubs can be the ones with a backbone to do what needs to be done.

Because they are a group of cowards, sold out to the highest bidder decades ago. They haven't worked for the American people in a long, long time.
