Enforcing the Talking Filibuster isn’t “nuking” the filibuster It involves making senators speak—not sleep—to filibuster Consistent with Senate rules It can be hard work, but sometimes that’s necessary—and passing the SAVE America Act is worth the effort Share if you agree

Yes, it’s very important that we are making the distinction: We are NOT currently asking for a rule change — we are not asking to nuke the filibuster. We are asking for a talking filibuster. This means we need every Senator on board with 👉bringing the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor for debate👈

If Thune doesn't deliver, he will be the cause of a midterm blue tsunami as MAGA will not bother voting

It has to be done to save our nation and you guys need to stop defending against accusations from democrats. You need to go on the offense by saying you are protecting the votes of citizens because 1 illegal vote disenfranchises 1 citizen from our election process. Be loud and proud!

I'll share to make sure people understand that Trump's mail-in ballot restrictions ARE NOT in the current SAVE America Act, which means ILLEGALS WILL BE VOTING in the MIDTERMS!!! AGREE that our @GOP failed us and Trump by NOT including the mail-in ballot restrictions in the SAVE America Act (as it stands today) AGREE that's it's worth the effort of a talking filibuster BUT NOT WITHOUT FIRST making sure Trump's Mail-in Ballot Restrictions are included in the SAVE America Act The SAVE America Act as it stands today DOES NOT secure elections WITHOUT the Mail-in Ballot Restrictions... ILLEGALS WILL VOTE IN THE MIDTERMS!!! Dems LOVE the SAVE America Act as it stands today - and really don't care if it passes or not... why? Because either way, ILLEGALS will be able to vote... and, well, isn't that THE CRITICAL point?!?!? IF Trump's mail-in ballot restrictions were in there, Dems wouldn't be focusing on Photo ID, they'd be apoplectic!!! The table below compares Trump's EO to the Bill as it passed in the House and why Dems love it!!!

If these multimillionaires by way of questionable fortune cannot spend a week or so on the most important legislation this century…they don’t belong in Congress nor do they belong in the United States of America 🇺🇸

The talking filibuster is Option B. Ending (NUKING) the 60-vote cloture rule is Option A. We want A. If B gets us the SAVE America Act this week, then OK. But we still need A, as well as ending the Blue Slip tradition. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @VP @SenJohnThune @LeaderJohnThune @SenateGOP

The truth is coming out.

@USMCridgerunner

84% of americans support the bill. but it has to cross this final hurdle

Our Senators need to invoke the talking filibuster and debate this. Please pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act! Proof of U.S. citizenship, like a passport or birth certificate to register for federal elections, plus photo ID at the polls.

The only way the SAVE ACT will get passed is to replace Thune as leader. He is stalling the vote and won't nuke the filibuster. Time for Senators to do their job and replace him.

@johnthune @SenTedCruz

@LeaderJohnThune senators who oppose a bill should have to SPEAK on the floor about why they oppose it. Allowing idiot senators to stop a bill that over 80% of Americans want without making them SPEAK about why they are against it is NOT what the filibuster is about.

Of course it’s important! Leader Thune may not feel it’s # 1 top priority but most Americans do! And taking recess at such a critical time should NOT BE ALLOWED. SHUT DOWN SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEM AN OPTION. NO PAY CHECK FOR THE SENATE AND CONGRESS DURING ANY SHUTDOWN.

There used to be single subject bills and debates all the time - it was standard. But it was apparently too much work and they went to pouring everything into an omnibus bill - no single subject bills to debate, no preparation necessary. They don't want to work. F-ing elitists.

@RnSunshine15 Do you know how many speeches that is? There are 47 Democratic senators, and they each get 2 speeches. That’s 94 speeches. Just end the filibuster. You know the Democrats will the first chance they get, they’ve said as much!

The LONGEST filibuster was Strom Thurmond... he spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes. The Civil Rights Act filibuster lasted 57 days. Let's be clear... the current Democrats absolutely do not have the longevity or commitment to filibuster this issue like Democrats of yesteryear did against civil rights (they were committed racists and ideologues against black people). A talking filibuster with this class of lazy and incapable Senators would end within a week if not days. They would literally have to have paramedics on standby to rescue this geriatric class of losers. Make them speak and try to sell this losing issue to the American people.... watch them fold... and watch the Senate pass the SAVE ACT once and for all. Get it done Thune.

@FRings10926 Democrats always vote in lock-step… There is no more bipartisanship… The only way 60 Senate votes will happen is if it is 100% of what the Democrats want… Thune, Invoke the “talking filibuster” and make Dems explain their indefensible position… It’ll be over in 5 days…!

The American people who grind everyday for a paycheck that is taxed to death, would love to see senators do some “hard work” to get the piece of legislation that could save America passed!!!

Everybody knows what needs to be done. Everybody has been talking about it ad nauseam. Please have @LeaderJohnThune just come out and say it's going to happen within the first few days of being back, so we can all move on for a few days.

This @LeaderJohnThune @GOP You can’t hide. The Dems are not stopping it any longer. Republicans are delaying it. They have the ability to do it.

The "constitutional option" (also commonly called the "nuclear option" by its critics) refers to a parliamentary procedure in the U.S. Senate that allows a simple majority (51 votes, or 50 plus the vice president) to effectively change or override Senate rules—most often to limit or eliminate the filibuster on certain matters—without needing the usual supermajority (typically 60 votes for cloture or sometimes two-thirds for rule changes). Key Context and How It Works: - The U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 5) states that "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings." Proponents argue this gives the Senate (especially at the start of a new Congress) the inherent power to set or change its rules by majority vote, making the maneuver "constitutional" rather than a violation of precedent. - In practice, it often involves: 1. Raising a point of order challenging the application of an existing rule (e.g., claiming a filibuster on nominations violates the Constitution's "advice and consent" clause). 2. The presiding officer (often the vice president or a senator) ruling in favor of the challenge. 3. An appeal of that ruling, which a simple majority can uphold—thus setting new precedent that lowers the threshold (e.g., to a simple majority for cloture on certain votes).

@LeaderJohnThune either make the talking filibuster mandatory or nuke the fillibuster!!!!

Enforcing the Talking Filibuster should be standard practice (SOP). Whoever designed and implemented Senate rules for the Zombie Filibuster was weak, stupido, and not looking out for the American people. Make people speak on the Senate Floor. Pass the Save America Act.

@LeaderJohnThune are you listening, because we are. Signed the American people.

So, Mike - tell us why Thune opposes THIS??? Is he so damned bought-and-paid-for that he is AFRAID to go against his OWNERS and violate the trust of the voters by killing the SAVE America Act? Is there a recall or impeachment of Thune in progress by the people of South Dakota? Is anyone in the Trump regime doing any effing thing to depose Thune? How on Earth can an issue with 80+ % support of the people (including BOTH parties) be suppressed, ignored, and stifled by one Piece of Shit named John Randolph Thune? Why are people not dragging this Fellator OUT of the Senate and tarring and feathering this POS? Is there ANYBODY in the Senate, besides a few of the women, with ANY BALLS??? Or are you all like that slimy little eunuch Lindsey Graham? You ALL should be H***ED!!!!!!!

👇

Oh you want to hear us speak.

But you should nuke the filibuster for real and codify the whole America First agenda to include cutting all democrat spending, all foreign aid and all NGOs

@BhollowDon Mike, the American people don't give a fuck how it gets done. We just want it done. Procedural bullshit and all of that stuff is missing us now. Our patience is at an end.

@Blessed_Patriot Lazy Senators. So frustrating. Thune never had Recess Appts. Crickets from Senators

I think the non-talking filibuster has to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of in politics


![To pass the SAVE Act, the Senate must RESTORE the talking filibuster. No more “zombie filibuster.” Mike Lee explains: “If [Democrats] want to filibuster, MAKE. THEM. SPEAK.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2023851091532935457/media/HBYpxPyaYAAwbqF.jpg)
