It was a defining moment in the fight to restore the Senate to its constitutional purpose. This wasn’t about just John “Status Quo” Thune sweeping away the MAGA hopes of a swift and united mandate—it was also a referendum on our constitution proper, on how the Senate operates, on whether or not we actually have a government, or just a bunch of actors playing roles cast by those who control their salaries.
Everyone votes incentive. Everyone.
For years, while Swamp Lore Mitch ruminated on behalf of regulatory capture, Rick “Patriot” Scott and Mike “USA” Lee challenged this status quo, demanding a return to open debate, transparency, and the amendment process that allows all Senators to represent their constituents.
So when “Status Quo” cast his had in for leadership, the mob scoffed. Scott and Lee rallied conservatives around a bold vision: open the Senate and make it a functional legislative body again. How? Allow Senators to propose amendments and participate in effective debate.
This vision wasn’t popular with the paid staff, particularly Thom “Swamp Creature” Tillis, who was swift to warn that such reforms would “weaken the leader” and create chaos.
The time for crying “Wolf!” has passed.
Tillis tried to keep the swamp’s iron grip on the process intact, fearing that open debate would undermine the cozy control the regime has established for itself. But by the time the leadership vote rolled around, even John “Camouflage” Cornyn, political survivalist extraordinaire, introduced his own reform proposals.
Keeping Up Appearances was a horrible show.
And Thune? Status Quo had to bend, agreeing to significant reforms to secure enough votes to become majority leader. This was a win for Thune, and perhaps a dagger at the heal of MAGA; but it was a win for all theories of the constitutional republic… “if you can keep it.”
It’s a platonic “ideal” after all.
But, welcome back to the USA, sort of:
• Open Amendments Restored: For the first time in over a decade, Senators can propose changes to legislation, giving them a voice in shaping laws.
• End of Sneak Attacks: No more last-minute bills thrown on the floor without scrutiny. Senators—and the American people—will actually have time to read what they’re voting on.
Why This Matters
These changes don’t just restore the Senate’s constitutional role—they empower your elected Senators to fight for your interests. No longer sidelined by swamp politics, they can bring real issues to the floor. This makes your phone call to your senator’s office matter again.
The Senate isn’t just another branch of government; it’s the chamber where America’s states have equal representation. It’s where the toughest battles over legislation—border security, election integrity, reigning in unelected bureaucrats—are fought. And it’s where Donald J. “Peacemaker” Trump will need allies aplenty to push through his mandate and deliver on his promise of America for Americans.
Mankind votes incentive.
Always.
Without a functioning Senate, the Trump agenda of stripping Washington of its bureaucratic power stalls. But with these reforms, the GOP has a chance to bring accountability and transparency to Washington no matter what else occurs.
It’s your prayers that matter anyway. Psalm 18. 109. 14.
A Word on Swamp Creatures
Tillis, true to form, warned that reforms would create chaos—because nothing scares a swamp creature more than losing control. This is true in every voting assembly, even where there is no women’s suffrage. And while Swamp Lore Mitch stayed out of the spotlight, his legacy of backroom deals is still looming in the back rooms. These were never his strings he was pulling. Camouflage is a pour, last-minute reform in an open war with heat-seeking media. Pretending to be on board in the world of X while staying loyal to the swamp will be harder than hide than ever.
X is the media now. That means the polls. That means the fourth estate.
That means youare the government now, as much as you want to be, more than you’ve ever been, and perhaps, after July 4, 2026, more than you will ever be again.
The Next Fight
The Constitution won this round, but the battle isn’t over. The swamp is still alive and well, and Status Quo needs to be kept under pressure until he earns a new name. The base must remain vigilant, ensuring these reforms lead to real action.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. As Elon “Awakened” Musk reminds us, this is about more than politics—this is about stopping the sleepwalkers for enslaving our children.
America is back at prayer. Let’s keep it that way. Sonsofsolomon.net
