If Thune was actually upset about being conned by Trump-Witkoff-Kushner he could bring up the Senate Russian sanctions bill he tabled, the one with 85 cosponsors.
The end of Trump's Oil Sanctions Con, The One that Took Official Washington Media, Lock, Stock and Barrel. The whole idea that Trump's sanctions on Russian oil were meant to hurt Putin is collapsing on all fronts. Indian and Chinese purchases are up and there are no secondary sanctions to be found.

A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

DNC Chair Martin: You can build your billionaire ballroom. You can offer empty promises, like bringing down costs on day one. You can try in vain to rig the midterms in your favor, and you can fail. like you did just yesterday in Indiana. But know this, Donald Trump. Your days in power are numbered.

This is like Trump saying he's going to pardon you for a traffic ticket. She was convicted in a state court of a state crime. He has ABSOLUTELY NO AUTHORITY to pardon her, his pardon isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Trump doesn't have this authority.
States are filling a void left by the federal government's failure to hold AI companies accountable.
But after those companies donated millions to Trump's campaign, his inauguration fund, and his ballroom, Trump is doing their bidding. This cannot stand.
