59 days until the Democrats take over Congress. There's approximately 750 bills waiting on the Senate. There are around 40 floor-ready nominations.
Here's what needs to happen.
1. Remove @LeaderJohnThune as Senate majority leader now. Replace him with a conservative. I've some ideas. They'll need a spine to do this.
2. Nuke the filibuster. That's why we have the backlog in the first place and Democrats will do it regardless.
3. Pass all 750+ bills and confirm all nominations. Forget about the blue slip veto, it's not law, it's a gentlemen's agreement.
4. Fund essential government functions (i.e. DHS) for 5 years. Democrats will use that as a tool if it's not protected.
5. Sit back and watch the Democrat Congress subpoena, investigate and impeach for 2 years. They won't be able to convict anyways.
6. Any bills that come to Trump, he'll veto. Democrats won't have enough to bypass his vetoes.
7. Profit big in 2028 after the failed Congress shows their true colors.
This is all very realistic and well within the power of the Republican Congress to do. This puts all of the negotiating power back to the Republicans for the next 2 years.

Hey @elonmusk,
America Party.
Yes, we need it now!
Hey @AmAscent_ I'm a little rough around the edges, but I'll gladly be a senator. Might be a bit too old for you though at 42 lol
59
We've seen this before folks. Just look at the Whig party in the 1850s. They splintered and went away and new parties were born. We'll always have a 2 party system, not because it's required, but because if Duverger's Law.
Republicans are done. It's just a matter of what rises up from the ashes.
Hey @realDonaldTrump, just letting you know the Republican party just died. Your voters are upset. Not because of you, just figured as the defacto leader of the party you should know.
You've got to be kidding me. I'm not a Republican anymore. Maybe I'm independent, maybe I'm MAGA or just some American dude figuring out his way. I'm not republican.
🔥🚨 JUST IN — John Thune released a statement after being re-elected Senate GOP Leader and said the team remains united on conservative priorities.
THUNE: "I'm proud of what this Republican team has accomplished together, and we remain united in our commitment to advancing conservative priorities, working with President Trump and our colleagues in the House, and holding the line against Democrats' efforts to enact their far-left, liberal agenda."
He added that there is important work ahead and he looks forward to serving alongside his colleagues.
THUNE: "We have important work ahead of us, and I look forward to serving alongside my colleagues on behalf of the American people."
Thune cruised to re-election with the rest of the leadership team... INSANE.
