The precedent you set:
You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins.
But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered:
• Voice vote to avoid accountability
• Empty chamber to avoid debate
• Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny
• Immediate recess to avoid questions
You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one.
What you've actually accomplished:
Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded.
Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded.
And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning.
The question you should answer:
Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM?
Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record?
You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like.
Here's my message: We saw it anyway.
Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome.
Own it.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - If this deal passes, this will be the beginning of the end of ICE. All at the hands of @LeaderJohnThune .

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - There's a bunch that I didn't go into.
Why did Cash get single source contracts in the first place?
Did Cash have ANY role influencing Deck Prism LLC contracts while at DHS I&A?
(Seems like Deck Prism address on USA Spending is his personal residence!)
Etc. @DOGE_DOE

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - From their perspective, democracy IS a multilateral set of neutral institutions and has virtually nothing to do with elections.
