We make it far too easy for senators in the minority to use the filibuster to kill bills supported by the majority.
The whole idea behind the filibuster has, from the beginning, been to protect and prolong debate—not to cut off debate, forcing the Senate to abandon any bill that doesn’t immediately receive the support of at least 60 senators.
Filibustering is supposed to require far more than opposing cloture.
Especially for bills of exceptional national importance—like the SAVE America Act—senators should be required to hold the floor and speak.
The minute filibustering senators stop doing that, the legislation can and should be passed at a simple-majority threshold.
This is not a radical idea.
This describes what the filibuster is, how it has historically operated, and how it should work today.
Share this message if you agree that the Senate—and the country as a whole—would be well served by a return to this approach.

“Keep your eye on how much the Government is spending, because that is the true tax. YOU PAY FOR IT, either in the form of taxes, or indirectly in the form of inflation or debt.”

An update from the floor as we hit the deadline to pass House bills…
Watch to see why the DEMOCRATS are celebrating.
Texans, you’ve been betrayed.

🚨Speaker Burrows killed every House bill to eliminate property taxes, and today is the deadline.
I confronted him for putting hundreds of Democrat bills on the calendar ahead of the Republican priorities.
Watch him refuse to admit it before mocking me on a hot mic!
Betrayal.

Update (bad): The Texas House just passed this liberal corporate welfare bill that will keep property taxes high and explode the size of government.
Watch me remind my colleagues that government "solutions" are often worse than the problems they aim to solve!

🚨🇪🇺 Geo-Political Scholar Jeffrey Sachs
Schools the EU Parliament on the reasons behind the Russia Ukraine Conflict.
Every-time Legacy Media or a Politician states the was is “unprovoked” is a complete lie.
This doesn’t even include some of the more grotesque activities Ukraine has been well documented as being involved in.
