Trump Loses Control? Top Republicans Say ‘No!’

Top Republican senators John Thune and John Barrasso just defied Donald Trump refusing to end the Senate filibuster.

Trump wants to abolish the 60 vote filibuster rule to push through his agenda. But Thune and Barrasso said “no way”, calling it “dangerous for democracy.”

Both men are longtime Trump allies, yet now they’re openly pushing back. Their stance shows deep division inside the GOP. 😳

Trump blasted the move on social media, saying they were “weak” and “hurting the party.”

This fight could define Trump’s influence in the Senate heading into 2026. GOP unity? It’s looking shaky.
