I’d love to keep the filibuster and make filibustering senators speak That’s how the filibuster is supposed to work—protecting robust debate in the Senate It no longer does that; it now forestalls debate Enforce the filibuster Or nuke it The status quo empowers Democrats

“It takes 60 votes to pass a bill in the Senate, right?” No; it takes 60 votes to achieve cloture—a mechanism to bring debate to a close Passing a bill takes a simple majority It’s possible to pass legislation without cloture when no one’s speaking End the zombie filibuster

John Thune is mistaken. We *do* have the votes to pass the SAVE America Act—because we have a simple majority. All we lack is the will to enforce the talking filibuster (requiring filibustering senators to speak), and to stay in session continuously until it passes. It’d pass.

Inflation is a function of federal spending We’d all do well to remember the wisdom of Milton Friedman, who taught that the cost of the federal government is measured not by the tax rate, but the rate of federal spending Congress spends too much That’s what’s driving up prices

The vote to defund USADF was set at a simple-majority threshold Republicans acting alone could have defunded it—and should have done so after USADF’s acting chairman and CEO called for it to be defunded, based on what he described as a culture of chronic fraud, waste, and abuse within USADF Lamentably, the measure failed by a vote of 58-42, with all Democrats and just a few Republicans voting to table it I look forward to hearing my colleagues explain their votes

I was in the courtroom today (at the invitation of Erika Kirk) when Judge Graf admitted evidence that Tyler Robinson confessed repeatedly to killing Charlie Kirk—to Lance Twigs and to his gaming friends. Twigs and Robinson’s gaming friends were initially incredulous, but Robinson continued to insist that he did it, insisting “it was me.” Robinson provided more detail to Twigs, admitting that the murder was premeditated and motivated by hate. The prosecution team did a fantastic job, and Judge Graf reached the right conclusion.
