House Freedom Caucus Drops 60-Day America First Agenda on Johnson and Thune


And those two Political Establishment hacks will do NOTHING.

Hell, how many days will Congress even be in session between now and the end of the year? Those scumbags work less than the Kardashians, and even then they almost never do anything constructive.

Then why not deliver this "explosive, ambitous agenda" and make their "demands" from day 1, when they had time and leverage, instead of at the last minute where everyone involved knows nothing will happen?


You asked.

The House Freedom Caucus has been dormant the last two years. They all fell in line and voted for Trump's BBB because they didn't want to be primaried. Since they are no longer being threatened they are just reasserting themselves.

I doubt any of this stuff will pass btw.

The “Freedom Caucus” has enjoyed showboating done thank youfor years as a minority. It would be surprising if it gets a major legislative package passed on its way out the door…

The problem isn't that the Freedom Caucas is just now "demanding" this. I suspect this is nothing new for them.

The point being with how things turned on 11/3/26, the Republicans could still erect a fire wall against Dem destruction that would stand through Trump's term and perhaps beyond.

But the loser faction of the outgoing Congress, i.e., Cassidy, Cornyn and the leftover duds will once again demonstrate how spineless and subversive they are.

They never had any leverage because bills weren’t brought to the floor that they could threaten to kill with a bloc vote. Congress actually did NOTHING for two years! One (not enough) Big (too big) Beautiful (cute, at best) Bill, is all that we got.

Talk about blowing smoke up someone's arse.

The only things they could possibly do are 1 & 8.

2-7 will never get 60 votes in the Senate, and the filibuster isn't getting removed in a lame duck session.

All this feeds into them being Do Nothing Republicans. They had 2 years to get this done but just stabbed each other in the back, and now they are going to pass stuff in 60 days. BS.

This is why there was a Blue Wave on November 3, 2026.

The problem isn’t really so much the house. They’ve been sending stuff to the Senate for 2 years. The Senate just refuses to try nd fight for anything.

This effort just highlights the fecklessness of a Republican led Congress. It just justifies some people’s vote for change, even if they don’t understand what that means, in this case.

I hate Congressional Republicans more than anyone involved in this debacle.

They are clueless about why they lost.

They will make matters worse by going on Twitter and TV demanding all this crap, and none of it ever comes to fruition.

Judges and Appointees need to be the only thing on the agenda for the Senate.

Not a single election for any Leadership* positions should be held until Tillis, Collins, Cornyn, Cassidy, etc. are OUT of there.
