The solution is simple, but it won’t be easy. We could balance the budget tomorrow. We just need to have the courage to sit down with each other and figure out how–and not leave town until we do. We could cut the number of federal regulations in half by... Christmas if we wanted to the exact same way. We just need to be willing to put in the hours and get the job done. Let’s get to work!show more

Rick, you say all the right things, but then turn around and work with Thune to block President Trump's recess appointments. Until the SAVE AMERICA ACT is passed, the trust in you is ZERO!

Good grief @GOPSenate ...do your job! It's pretty simple...we elected y'all to represent us and you are failing miserably!

But you and your colleagues won’t even fight to pass a bill to secure our elections. I don’t expect ya’ll to balance the budget in 100 years! :-/

So why aren’t you getting rid of Thune?

Sir with all due respect the senate cannot even pass the Sunshine act with 89 % approval nor the Save act again 89% approve. Unfortunately you are in the least effective senate in history. The budget? Perhaps on the 12th day of never.

We need a new Congress with term limits

We have been asking you dipshits to Get To Work for 19 months now....yet you keep going on vacation every other week....We intend to Primary every last stinking one of you.

You need to have the "courage" to stop blathering about doing the work you were elected to do and start DOING it.

Where was this attitude in Feb 2025?

You should get an Oscar for this performance.

Talking about balancing the budget is not a solution... especially to an empty room. The content sounds good and the topic makes some people think you're doing something positive but, without the SAVE Act, everything you and other senators say appears performative and condescending. The question smarter and forward thinking citizens are asking themselves is, "at what point do we stop paying taxes to stop this BS."

Bold words. Why didn't you pass the SAVE act? This last minute posturing fools no-one. You had your opportunity to enact real change and once again, the GOP blew it. On purpose. Again.

You assholes can't get five others together to remove one very bad apple. As far as the rest is concerned... Just proved we can replace YOU With a machine.

Says the guy who just came back from vaca and also gaveled in a proforma session so the President couldn't make any recess appointments....you are a fraud. All hat and no cattle.

Thanks for the confession. You haven’t done these things. You should all resign so we can choose new representatives who will!

We saw how that worked in August.

“We could” but why would we, there is no incentive to. We fund raise off these issues and really pull in cash.

All of you say this, but then nobody does anything except increase spending.

Yeah great, where have you been for all these years? Same people same results, nothing. All talk no action, very disappointed

Stop ALL & any money, welfare, housing, food stamps going to illegals! They will self deport if we stop supporting them. Shame on any politician who voted for taxpayers money to go to illegals!🤬

All talk but no one objects to leaving and no one objects to Pro Forma so the crap continues. We The People are not happy with the people we elected.

PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT 🇺🇸

Then do it. Stop yapping- start doing.

Looks like you are talking to an empty room. Were you?

It would probably help if you all didn’t take month long vacations every other month.

Out of character for the most part”do nothing” Senate in history. It will never happen.

In other news.. Senate on vacation until 2045 between dog parades, will hold pro-forma sessions until then. Senate grants all staff (~350,000 staff members) 37% pay raises before leaving the Senate in the hands of the unelected long term Parliamentarian.

Rick would be a great acting teacher for Hollywood and Theator actors

Thune is more interested in thwarting all that and going on vacation.

.@SenateGOP @LeaderJohnThune a/k/a Traitor Thune, this post will sure get it done. QUIT POSTING & TAKE ACTION THAT WE THE PEOPLE VOTED YOU IN THIS BODY OF GOVERNMENT FOR.

Remove John Thune and you could get everything done!

You need to get rid of @LeaderJohnThune

Why doesn't anyone have the balls to get rid of Thune?

Good! You're talking about solutions. Here's the best path. Follow the Constitutions 10th Ammendment. *Abolish ALL Federal Regulatory Agencies. *Defund ALL NGO's *Audit the Federal Reserve, prosecute theives then abolish the Fed * Claw back all the money stolen via fraud *Get the US OUT of the UN *Stop ALL Foreign Aid grants *Give States full responsibility to fund welfare, snap and medicaid as they see fit w/o Federal funding
