They knew the House would have to go ahead and vote it in, rather than start over. And Thune and the boys gave zero warning, lol.

Never trust a freaking politician. Of any stripe.

Well, not good to throw that in, but I do hope they sue.

Sue who?

American taxpayers?
Shouldn’t it be Hack smith, moderate Merrick, sloe* and the Ho and perhaps even a dozen or so judges and dirty loiya’s like Elias and others?

Taxpayers did nothing wrong, maybe sue the registered dims or something?

AI Overview

Yes, the Senate recently passed a government funding bill that includes a provision allowing senators to sue the federal government if their "Senate data" or office records, such as phone records, are secretly acquired, subpoenaed, or accessed without their knowledge.

Key Details

Who can be sued: The civil action is specifically against the United States (i.e., federal departments, officers, employees, or agents), not private individuals.

Damages: Senators can seek statutory damages of at least $500,000 per violation, plus attorneys' fees and costs.

Retroactive: The clause is retroactive to January 2022, meaning it would apply to past instances of data collection without notice.

Context: The provision was added in response to revelations that the phone records (specifically "toll data," which includes numbers called and when, but not content) of several Republican senators were obtained by Special Counsel Jack Smith's office during its investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election, without prior notification to the senators.

Scope: The provision only applies to members of the Senate; a U.S. Representative whose records were also subpoenaed would not be eligible to sue under this specific clause.

Status: The Senate passed the larger spending package containing this provision. The House is expected to vote on the bill to end the government shutdown soon, though some House Republicans have expressed objections to this specific clause.

And...the House approved it, Trump signed it tonight, and it is now law. With that provision in it.

The really fun part is not the $$ it's the discovery. Depositions will be glorious.

Hahahahhah!!! Photoshopped the 2 idiots Hakeem and Chuckie as trick or treaters and had Trump placing sombreros on their heads


He continues to put a mafia style beat down on the entire useless pile of trash democrat party. Love it!!

I love it when Trump trolls them. I'll bet it makes knots in their stomachs watching those videos. I can just hear their cursing.

Oh, I also hate when we have to pay our money to defend these jackasses with lawsuits.

Trump has to be the greatest troll in the history of the White House, probably more so than all the others combined, lol.

Golden is retiring in Maine. Cuellar in TX will be okay — the redistricting Texas just did actually puts him in a stronger position.

Not sure about the other 4

These people literally have the memory of a moth... Not sure they even remember the start of the same sentence they are in the process of finishing at times.
