In a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, two dozen House Republicans said that they would not vote for any Senate bills that come to the House floor unless the Senate passes the anti-voting bill.
As the SAVE America Act is debated on the Senate floor and faces likely defeat, a Newsmax host suggested on air that its failure is justification for Americans to arm themselves.
The Senate adjourned instead of recessing. That distinction may sound arcane, but it’s the latest signal that MAGA’s hopes for a “talking filibuster” to eventually force the measure through are doomed. And even the measure’s Senate champion appears to be resigned to that outcome.
As debate over the SAVE America Act began on the Senate floor Tuesday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) accused Democrats of deliberately allowing undocumented immigrants into the country so they can vote in U.S. elections.
The debate promises to offer a priceless window into the extreme anti-voting mindset of the modern GOP, as well giving Democrats a chance to take a stand for democracy.
As the SAVE America Act heads to the Senate floor, Democrats are vowing to kill the sweeping anti-voting bill pushed by Trump and Republicans. Experts say it would undermine millions of Americans’ right to vote if it became law.
Republicans will bring the bill — deemed the most restrictive election legislation in U.S. history — to the Senate floor for debate today.
Senate leaders have so far declined to sign on to a procedural maneuver — the “talking filibuster” — that supporters see as the bill’s only hope for getting around a guaranteed Democratic filibuster. That means the bill, which aims to solve the phantom problem of noncitizen voting, is likely doomed to fall far short of the 60-vote threshold it would need to make it to President Donald Trump’s desk.
As we entered 2026, it became clear that Republicans were set up to lose control of Congress in the midterm elections. What followed was predictable.
After the original plans for the vote emerged, MAGA melted down, with Mitchell, President Donald Trump, and scores of anti-voting activists unleashing increasingly unhinged posts on social media accusing Senate Majority Leader John Thune of sabotaging the bill.
