🚨 BREAKING: John Thune is set to send the Senate HOME TODAY rather than work through Friday and the weekend Trump has roughly 160 FEDERAL NOMINEES including TWO DOZEN JUDGES that we still need to get done, plus a Reconciliation 3.0 package that only needs 50+1 votes We should be playing hardball, not taking our time. NO MORE BREAKS ‼️ I just don't see how we have the floor time available over the next 50 days to get all this done if the Senate only works a few days per week.

What’s your reaction to John Thune staying on as Senate GOP minority leader after overseeing the utter disaster that was the midterm elections?

We have got a lot of problems, and fat and lazy Republican organizations are one of them… My new @townhallcom will annoy all the right people. “In the red states, we got too used to winning easily. Far too used to it. We got so used to winning that it never occurred to us that we might not win, and it never occurred to us that we might have to work to win. We forgot that we need to earn votes, that we don’t just inherit them by right. Sure, some marquee candidates were awful, but it wasn’t just the marquee candidates who lost. It was everyone from governors down to assistant deputy dog catchers. If you had an R by your name, you were about as popular as an openly herpetic participant in a polycule orgy.” Red State GOP Organizations Need to Get Their Act Together https://t.co/ua9Tr6Dllf
