Senator Kennedy is always good for a pithy one liner or a hilarious speech and this is no exception.
Probably the best way to end the shutdown would be to lock Thune and Schumer in a room with Katie Porter and tell them they can’t come out until there’s a deal.

She looks like a sleep paralysis demon.
Can I adopt @SenJohnKennedy? Is that a thing? https://t.co/d0qdgfnIWI

That would be constant entertainment.
I'd call this a stellar plan. Well done Senator. 👍 https://t.co/88rZrVijST

New rule - whenever there is a shutdown, @katieporteroc immediately babysits all of kids of members of Congress until they reach a deal. Shutdowns would be 4 minutes. https://t.co/SnhtL6AOFJ

I think Mr. Kennedy is onto something with this. It just might work. https://t.co/Cq4AJ7tDmK

It might be considered cruel and unusual punishment, honestly.

It's California. That explains everything.
The Katie Porter treatment, where they are locked up in a room and have to listen to her. https://t.co/vhWoNjt9Ez

It might be against the Geneva Convention.
Maybe also be the best way to end the Russia/Ukraine war … hell she may be our best weapon we’ve had in years 😂🤣😂🤣 https://t.co/Vhrn4rQv79

Lmao, oh that is the best idea I've heard in ages. I don't think I've ever felt sorry for Chuck Schumer, but that might just do it. pic.twitter.com/TmCFT3apQC

He deserves none of your sympathy.
