We are saving America. In reality, they are desperately trying to preserve white supremacy.
When Congress has a job approval of 21% and President Donald J. Trump has 33%, what do you?
Double down on passing more stupid laws in the name of "safety."
Instead of fixing the infrastructure, handling the affordability crisis and saving jobs from AI, Republicans return to their old playbook of forgotten grievances.
Name this tune.
Benghazi, Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton's emails, Bill Clinton's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the Obama Administration allegedly spying on Trump’s presidential campaign, Tara Reade, The Steele Dossier, Lois Lerner, Anthony Fauci, Jack Smith, James Comey, birth certificates, radical Islam, antifa, Joe Biden hiding health status, Ashley Biden's diary, Burisma and the Facebook blocking of Hunter Biden's laptop story.
The Republican Party ran on being the party of lowering prices. So far, they're raising blood pressures. They simply cannot focus on domestic issues. It always has to be protecting the status quo and white supremacy.
That's all they do.
The SAVE Act is a prime example of shooting themselves in the foot. This law isn't just going to hurt Democratic leaning voters, but Republican voters too.
The challenge is to get 60 votes in the senate to pass a law that could rollback voting rights in the United States.
Examples of democratic backsliding include:
Free and fair elections are degraded;
Liberal rights of freedom of speech, press and association decline, impairing the ability of the political opposition to challenge the government, hold it to account, and propose alternatives to the current regime;
The rule of law (i.e., judicial and bureaucratic restraints on the government) is weakened, such as when the independence of the judiciary is threatened, or when civil service tenure protections are weakened or eliminated.
An over-emphasis on national security as response to acts of terrorism or perceived antagonists.
Politicians can't agree on funding essential needs and services which trigger spiteful pain on the citizens.
Oh, these I am not helping because they voted against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Tell me:
What would a second term of Biden or a first term of Harris do differently?
Cause Biden was the catalyst to the Democrats collapsing in 2024. His refusal to step aside because of cancer, age and some of verbal fumbles. His stupid Catholic beliefs. His failure to focus on the domestic issues despite turning things around post pandemic. His failure to pass meaningful legislation like the Build Back Better Act, the George Floyd Policing Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the codifation of the Roe decision. He allowed Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA) roll over him. He gave Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu everything he wanted and yet, that coward secretly plotted with Trump to depress turnout for him and eventually Harris.
Biden's full fledged support of Israel cost the Democrats big time. Harris sticking with the former president doomed her bid too.
So for all the "we tried to warn you" crowd, you better understand that the "we ain't playing" crowd is serious. If you don't want your opinion, our concerns or our vote, good luck on the Midterms.
Trump pushing for this despite opposition from the voter's groups.
Biden, Harris and the Democratic Party failed at understanding what is more important to the country. Trump, Vance and the Republican Party have already failed at understanding.
I voted for Kamala Harris. I was disappointed she lost. But I knew it was inevitable.
Supporting Israel, struggling to find work after being let go from a better paying job, cutting back on luxuries, having no significant improvements in my paycheck at my current employer and Biden being tone deaf led to the Democrats defeat.
Republicans who illegally gerrymandered, harassed voters in Philadelphia, slandered two Georgia poll workers, threatened Republican governors who refused to abide to Trump’s request to overturn the election, literally sicced a mob of his supporters on the U.S. Capitol to destroy the electoral college ballots are unapologetic about it.
Now they want to pass this vanity bill to strip rights away and make it harder for Americans to exercise their right to vote.
They are counting on Americans who are too busy watching social media and click rage stories to ignore the rollback of democracy.
This bill requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections.
Specifically, the bill prohibits states from accepting and processing an application to register to vote in a federal election unless the applicant presents documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. The bill specifies what documents are considered acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship, such as identification that complies with the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates U.S. citizenship.
Further, the bill (1) prohibits states from registering an individual to vote in a federal election unless, at the time the individual applies to register to vote, the individual provides documentary proof of U.S. citizenship; and (2) requires states to establish an alternative process under which an applicant may submit other evidence to demonstrate U.S. citizenship.
Each state must take affirmative steps on an ongoing basis to ensure that only U.S. citizens are registered to vote, which shall include establishing a program to identify individuals who are not U.S. citizens using information supplied by certain sources.
Additionally, states must remove noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters.
The bill allows for a private right of action against an election official who registers an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.
The bill establishes criminal penalties for certain offenses, including registering an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) voted against certification of Joe Biden as president. He along with a handful of Republicans voted to not certify the 46th President of the United States.
Roy is a white nationalist who prioritizes culture wars, fearmongering and Israel. He does not give two fucks about San Antonio, Johnson City and Kerrville. The city of Kerrville had deadly flooding and this fool votes against funding infrastructure.
110 Republicans co sponsored this.
All Republicans and conservative Democrat Henry Cuellar of Texas voted.
This asshole Henry Cuellar voted with Republicans. He is an endangered Democrat.
If it heads to the Senate, all Republicans with Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA), Sen. Catherine Masto Cortez (D-NV), Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) and Sen. Jeanine Sheehan (D-NH) likely help it pass.
Fetterman is likely to vote for it. Racist ass fuck face Democrat. The rest of them are on the fence and could vote no if pressure comes.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, also known as the SAVE Act, is a proposed United States law that would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require "documentary proof of United States citizenship" to register to vote.
Non citizens (including American Samoans) do not vote in federal elections.
Valid documents for verifying citizenship, as stated by the bill, are one of the following:
An enhanced driver's license, which is a version of the Real ID that indicate citizenship;
A valid U.S. passport;
An official US military identification card;
A valid government-issued photo ID card that lists citizenship status;
Any other valid government-issued photo ID card together with evidence of birth as a US citizen or naturalization, such as a US-issued birth certificate, a naturalization certificate, or a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA).
Non-enhanced driver's licenses or state ID cards, U.S. military ID cards, and tribal identification documents would not be sufficient alone since they do not indicate citizenship status and can be issued to non-citizen legal residents of the United States.
The bill states that those who register to vote by mail "shall not be registered to vote in an election for Federal office unless (...) documentary proof of United States citizenship" is presented in person. It would likely also curtail the use of automatic voter registration ("motor voter" laws), and online voter registration.
For those who cannot provide the documentary evidence required by the bill listed above, the bill would mandate each state to establish a process by which an applicant can sign an attestation that they are a US citizen, and a state or local official would then make a determination. Where there are discrepancies between documents presented, each state would have to provide a process wherein the applicant could submit additional documentation to establish their citizenship.
The bill requires removal of non-citizens from existing voter rolls.
This asshole says he will vote for the SAVE Act. Pennsylvania senator John Fetterman is a colossal mess.
The 2026 version of the bill also adds the requirement for states to share unredated voting rolls with the Department of Homeland Security as another means to validate citizenship.
Non-citizens voting in federal elections has been proven to be extremely rare and is already illegal under Section 216 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.
Opponents of the bill argue that it is intended to suppress voter turnout, as voter registration forms already require driver's license numbers and the last four digits of the applicant's Social Security number in compliance with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which registrars are required to use under HAVA to confirm eligibility through databases maintained by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Social Security Administration, and the U.S. Postal Service. An analysis by the Center for American Progress found some voters in Alaska and Hawaii would need to fly to reach their election office in accordance with the in person requirement to vote by mail. The analysis also found that an estimated 69 million women and 4 million men have a last name that does not match their birth certificate. This provision would similarly impact transgender people whose legal names do not match their birth certificates.
Research from the Brennan Center, "indicates that more than 9 percent of American citizens of voting age, or 21.3 million people, don't have proof of citizenship readily available". The center said the act "would compel voter roll purges that are bound to sweep in eligible American voters" and that "when Arizona and Kansas implemented similar policies at the state level, tens of thousands of eligible citizens were blocked from registering", concluding, "the SAVE Act's proof-of-citizenship requirement is a solution in search of a problem".
According to the U.S. Vote Foundation, the SAVE Act would jeopardize voting registration access for US military service members serving abroad and other US citizens resident overseas.
