“John Thune should not allow the United States Senate to 'leave town' until it passes The Save America Act or, far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER, where Republicans can then quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of, including a full and deep throated SAVE AMERICA ACT, the Budget, and the ever looming Debt Ceiling disaster, 1929!”

The U.S. Senate has stalled on multiple House-passed Republican bills, including measures to extend government funding and authorize military action against Iran, as Majority Leader John Thune navigates Democratic opposition. Frustrated by the legislative gridlock, President Donald Trump used his Truth Social account to press Thune to keep the chamber in session until it either passes the Save America Act or eliminates the filibuster, which would allow Republicans to advance priorities like the budget and debt ceiling without supermajority support. The internal GOP disarray comes as the party trails in national polling ahead of the midterm elections, adding urgency for Republican leaders to turn their 2024 campaign promises into law.
