Thank you very much and God bless you.

Wow. Interesting 2 minute speech. He says it can be done with GOP votes via another reconciliation.

"Stop the stealing! PLEASE!"

He must be hearing about it on the phones/email to publicly beg your leader like this is somewhat novel.

A moderate Republican senator from Louisiana begging the RINO Majority Leader to stop the fraud.

We’re 39 trillion dollars in debt.

Whatever happened to all of those DOGE investigations?

Good question but it stood out to me as it must be on his radar

And it’s interesting. They can absolutely do this if there was will.

But the fraud is so widespread and ingrained in Minnesota government that it can’t last without it.

Don’t Wash. Dirt is what’s holding this
thing together.

So why did he vote to continue the fraud?

Thune won’t because he and his fellow uniparty Republican members benefit from the system as much as Democrats, either by being bought and paid for legally or through illegal means.

Kennedy’s putting on a performance. He voted for another $5.7 billion for welfare.

He’s an archetypical RINO - almost perfectly so - but the competition was worse (John Cornyn)
