🚨 LAME DUCK: 5 WEEKS LEFT. WHAT'S THE PLAN? ━━━━━━━━━━ 🏛️ THUNE IS BACK. NOW WHAT? Thune was reelected Senate GOP leader yesterday with no one voting against him. The push to delay the vote failed. Republicans keep control of Congress until January 3. That's about five weeks. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🇺🇸 RICK SCOTT: NOBODY GOES HOME Sen. Rick Scott moved to keep Senate Republicans in Washington until the job is done. His motion passed unanimously. He wants them working every day until they confirm the remaining nominees and judges and pass bills on jobs, lower prices, election security and government accountability. "We shouldn't be going home this week." – Sen. Rick Scott ━━━━━━━━━━ ⚔️ HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT: KILLED Last night the House voted 211–204 to send Massie's impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee, which kills it for this Congress. Massie was the only Republican who voted to keep it alive. ━━━━━━━━━━ ⏰ WHAT HAS TO PASS • Government funding runs out December 11. Not one of the 12 spending bills is law. • The defense bill (NDAA) expires December 31. • FISA Section 702 is up for renewal. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🔥 WHAT CONSERVATIVES ARE DEMANDING One last reconciliation bill before Democrats take over: • Ron Johnson: get the debt under control, plus military, border and election integrity • Rick Scott: balance the budget and pass voter ID • Kennedy: fund the military before Democrats take over • Freedom Caucus: codify border security, cap spending and ban congressional stock trading "We should clear the calendar and just work here day and night for as long as it takes." – Sen. Bernie Moreno ━━━━━━━━━━ ❓ YOU WANT A GOLD MEDAL? So it took Rick Scott forcing a motion to make you stay in session and do your job. After numerous days off for vacation. After you couldn't pass the SAVE America Act. After two years of getting nothing done for your constituents. And then you reelect the one man your own party couldn't stand the sight of as your leader. And we're supposed to cheer? Thank you to the 15 of you who had the spine to vote to delay. But not one of you had the spine to run against him. You're still feeding at the trough that brings you the money. We're going to expose that money and where it comes from. Every one of you up for a primary in 2028 who failed to do the right thing is on our list. The conservative grassroots is awake now, and we're not blindly loyal to you. We'll fight the socialists and the radical Islamists. And we'll fight every one of you who enabled them, because you're all in the same swamp. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS #Firstballot2028

🚨 52 DAYS LEFT. THIS IS THE SCHEDULE? The House's last votes today are expected at 10:45 in the morning. The Senate's only scheduled vote is cloture on one judge at 1:00 p.m. That's the plan, with 52 days left. ━━━━━━━━━━ ⏳ THE CLOCK IS RUNNING Republicans hold the Senate 53–47 until January 3. After that, Democrats take over. This lame duck is the last chance for a Republican Senate to pass what it promised. A funding deadline hits December 11. That's 29 days. And today looks like a short day. Judges confirmed yesterday: zero. Roll-call votes yesterday: zero. Seven judicial nominees are lined up and waiting. ━━━━━━━━━━ ❌ STILL NOT DONE Government funding only runs through December 11. None of the 12 regular spending bills for fiscal year 2027 has been signed into law. The House passed three. The Senate has passed none. The Senate's permitting bill, H.R. 2347, is the vehicle for the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act. Leader Thune filed cloture on it yesterday. It has not passed. Where is the "let's get this done" push? Where are the late nights? Where is the stay-until-it's-finished schedule? ━━━━━━━━━━ 🗳️ THE SAVE AMERICA ACT FAILED. THE FILIBUSTER SURVIVED. Proof of citizenship to register. Photo ID to vote. The House passed it February 11, 218–213. In March, 51 senators voted to take it up. Then the photo ID vote got 53. A majority. Not 60. So it died, because leadership keeps the 60-vote filibuster alive. President Trump told the Senate not to "leave town" until it passes the SAVE America Act or, "far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER." Sen. Mike Lee laid out a way to pass it with "no rule change." Make them stand up and talk. Tuesday night, Leader Thune defended the filibuster and ruled out that fight: "I don't know how we'd force that fight on the floor." 52 days left. A majority in hand. And no fight. ━━━━━━━━━━ 📢 DEMOCRATS TALKED. THEY DIDN'T MOVE A BILL. Yesterday, Leader Jeffries did a television interview and said House Democrats will make sure taxpayer dollars are spent to make life more affordable — when they take power. The day before, Leader Schumer gave a floor speech on inflation, and Democratic senators outlined an affordability agenda for the next Congress. Talking points. Not a vote. On Wednesday, Democrats did not put an affordability bill on the floor. They did not force a vote to cut costs. Talking is not legislating. ━━━━━━━━━━ ☎️ Call 202-224-3121. Ask your senators and your representative: You have 52 days. Why is the schedule this light? When do you finish the work you failed to do? ━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS #Firstballot2028

🚨 H.R. 9535: WHO SIGNED ON TO WAIVERS FOR ILLEGAL FARMWORKERS? The "Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act" is sold as a fix for the farm labor shortage. Read the fine print. ━━━━━━━━━━ ❌ WHAT MAKES IT BAD
• It waives immigration violations so farmworkers here illegally can get H-2A visas. People who broke the law get rewarded with work visas.
• It makes H-2A year-round, with contracts up to 350 days. That's no longer seasonal help. It's a permanent foreign workforce.
• It expands H-2A into livestock, aquaculture, forestry and some meat and poultry processing.
• It locks the H-2A wage formula into law, so Congress gives up control.
• It does nothing to put able-bodied Americans to work first. ━━━━━━━━━━ ✍️ SPONSOR

• Able-bodied adults on food stamps already must accept a suitable job or lose benefits. Enforce it.
• Medicaid's 80-hour monthly work requirement starts January 1. Count farm work toward it.
• Farms already post every H-2A job with state job agencies. Send work-required welfare recipients to those jobs first.
• Require E-Verify so nobody hires illegally.
• Fix H-2A paperwork so legal guest workers fill what's left, applying from home and coming in the right way.
• No waivers for breaking the law. ━━━━━━━━━━ ☎️ Is your Congressman on this list? Call 202-224-3121 and ask why. #Firstballot2028

🚨 DEMOCRATS STILL HAVE NO PLAN. JUST TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. They won the House. They're getting the Senate in January. So what's the plan? Same as always: blame Trump. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🔥 HIGH GAS AND HEATING BILLS? Senate Democrats today: "All thanks to Trump's war in Iran." No energy plan. No production plan. Just blame. 🎖️ VETERANS DAY? The DNC used it to attack Trump, saying Democrats "will vote to end Trump's reckless and deadly war with Iran" and to blame Republicans for the VA. Even a day for our veterans became a political weapon. 🔍 OVERSIGHT? Their new Oversight leader, Robert Garcia: "It appears Donald Trump has something to hide." They haven't even been sworn in, and the investigations are already lined up. 💵 "AFFORDABILITY"? House Democrats say they have a "historic mandate to deliver both affordability and accountability." Translation: "accountability" means more investigations of Trump. Where's the affordability plan? Nobody's seen it. ━━━━━━━━━━ ⚖️ "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Lord Acton They want the House, the Senate and every committee gavel. They don't have a plan. They want power. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🗳️ THE BOTTOM LINE No plan. No ideas. Just TDS and the blame game. And Republicans who won't fight back are just as dangerous. That's why we start with the primaries. @GuntherEagleman ━━━━━━━━━━ First Ballot 2028.

🚨 THUNE HAD THE MAJORITY. HE CHOSE THE FILIBUSTER. ━━━━━━━━━━ ⏳ 53 DAYS LEFT Republicans hold the Senate 53–47 until January 3. After that, Democrats take over with at least 54 seats. This lame duck is the last chance for a Republican Senate to pass what it promised. And John Thune just told America he won't use it. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ IN HIS OWN WORDS Last night on Fox, the day after Republicans re-elected him leader, Thune defended the 60-vote filibuster. He said they don't have the votes to end it. He ruled out making Democrats stand up and talk. His words: "I don't know how we'd force that fight on the floor." His reason for keeping it? Republicans will need it when they're in the minority. He's already planning for losing. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🗳️ WHAT HE'S PROTECTING The SAVE America Act. Proof of citizenship to register. Photo ID to vote. The House passed it February 11, 218–213. In the Senate it got 51 votes, then 53. A majority. Not 60. So it died, because Thune keeps the 60-vote rule alive. ━━━━━━━━━━ ⚔️ NO RULE CHANGE NEEDED Sen. Mike Lee laid out the plan: put the bill on the floor, make the filibustering senators speak, and keep going until it passes. He says it "requires no rule change. Just a majority leader willing to enforce it." Thune said no. In July, President Trump told Thune not to let the Senate "leave town" until it passes the SAVE America Act or, "far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER." Thune said no. ━━━━━━━━━━ ☎️ CALL HIM Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121. Ask for Leader Thune. Ask him: You have 53 days and a majority. Why are you protecting a rule that lets the minority kill election integrity? He's up in 2028. First Ballot starts in South Dakota. We will remember his answer. ━━━━━━━━━━ First Ballot 2028.

🚨 NOON UPDATE: WHERE CONGRESS STANDS ━━━━━━━━━━ 🏛️ SENATE BACK AT NOON The Senate gavels in at 12 PM and goes right back to H.R. 2347, the permitting reform bill billed as the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026. Last night at 9:02 PM they voted 62–21 just to start debate on it. That is not passage. Next come amendments, then a vote to end debate, then the final vote. Roll-call votes are possible today. Watch how your senators vote. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🏛️ HOUSE VOTES ON VETERANS DAY The House is in session today, with votes expected from 12:15 PM to 2 PM. On deck: the Take Care of America's Veterans Act, a package of more than 60 veterans benefit proposals. Democrats may also force a vote on the Major Richard Star Act. It would end the cut to retirement pay for combat-injured veterans who also receive VA disability. Watch how your representative votes. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🗳️ HOUSE GOP PICKS ITS LEADER Jim Jordan beat Steve Scalise 106–73 to lead House Republicans. Tom Emmer stays whip. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🏛️ SENATE GOP: SAME TEAM Thune is leader again. Barrasso stays whip, Cotton stays conference chair and Capito stays policy chair. The push to delay those elections failed 31–15. ━━━━━━━━━━ ⚔️ HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT: DEAD The House voted 211–204 to send Massie's resolution to the Judiciary Committee, which kills it for this Congress. ━━━━━━━━━━ ⏰ THE CLOCK IS TICKING Government funding runs out December 11. Not one of the 12 spending bills is law. The defense bill expires December 31. Five weeks left. Make them earn every day of it. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🇺🇸 And on this Veterans Day, thank you to every American who served. ━━━━━━━━━━ First Ballot 2028.

🇺🇸 HAPPY VETERANS DAY 🇺🇸 ━━━━━━━━━━ 🎖️ TO EVERY AMERICAN WHO SERVED You raised your right hand and wrote a blank check to this country, payable up to and including your life. You missed birthdays, holidays and the births of your children. You stood watch so the rest of us could sleep. Some of you came home carrying wounds we can see. Many more carry wounds we can't. Today we say it plainly: thank you. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🕊️ WHY TODAY At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the guns of World War I fell silent. We've honored that moment ever since. In 1954 it became Veterans Day, a day for every American who has worn the uniform. ━━━━━━━━━━ 🤝 MORE THAN A THANK YOU Our veterans kept their promise to us. We owe it to them to keep ours. That means real care when they need it, not waiting lists. It means jobs, housing and support when they come home. And it means honoring their service every day, not just once a year. ━━━━━━━━━━ ❤️ TODAY Call a veteran. Shake a hand. Visit a grave. Say their names. Freedom isn't free. They paid for it. God bless our veterans, and God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸
