Thune On the Hot Seat After Trump…b See more

Here is the cold reality Congress is walking back into after its recess: Democrats have already published their plan to kill the filibuster, pack the Supreme Court, and federalize elections in their favor the moment they take back power. They are not bluffing. They are not posturing. They put their names on a resolution. And the only thing standing between that plan and execution is a Republican majority that keeps finding reasons to do less than the moment demands.

Trump is asking for $350 billion to defend the country and a law to ensure that only American citizens decide its elections. These are not radical requests. They are the baseline obligations of a government that takes its own survival seriously.

Congress comes back next week. The clock is running. The president has told them exactly what he needs.

Now deliver it — or explain to the voters why you didn’t.
