Republican senators have been frustrated they can't escape the SAVE America Act — even after multiple attempts to kill the legislation.For months, the conservative voting bill has pitted GOP lawmakers in a battle over the legislation that would require voters to show photo ID in order to vote, and would change mail-in voting and require proof of citizenship to register to vote, according to a NOTUS report on Monday. The bill doesn't have the votes in the Senate to pass it."This has left members miffed — they want to finally turn the page, but are again faced with a zombie," NOTUS reported."It just keeps coming back," an unnamed Senate Republican told NOTUS. "It’s like the 'Night of the Living Dead.'"President Donald Trump has pushed Republicans to back the bill and made it a focal point throughout 2026. Right-wing influencers have also pressured conservative lawmakers in an ongoing campaign, NOTUS reported."Not only have they called for the bill to pass, but they have used it as part of a blitz to push Senate Republicans to nix the chamber’s 60-vote threshold and institute a 'talking' filibuster," according to NOTUS.That move tanked and a number of Republican senators said they would not try to weaken the filibuster."There is a frustration," the Senate Republican told the outlet. "It’s not just the president. We have other members who keep pushing this when they know … we don’t have the votes. I don’t know how you can be more clear than that.""I don’t know why they keep pushing something that’s basically not possible," the lawmaker said."It doesn’t get us votes. Literally, we lose votes with it," another unnamed Senate Republican told NOTUS.

Donald Trump has again upended efforts to renew a critical surveillance statute just as lawmakers had begun to reopen stalled talks.The president declared on Truth Social Monday that any work to renew FISA Section 702, a statute that allows federal agencies such as the NSA and the CIA to surveil foreigners on U.S. soil without warrants, must be passed alongside his voter ID bill, the SAVE America Act.That legislative measure sparked nationwide controversy earlier this year, particularly over a detail in the bill that would have made it more difficult for married women to vote. The backlash on Capitol Hill was grave, so much so that it gummed up efforts to fund Homeland Security for several months. Republicans eventually had to bail on the package to end the congressional gridlock.The SAVE America Act suggests numerous amendments to the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, including line items that would abolish mail-in voting, require voters to bring proof of citizenship and proof of residency to register to vote, require voter ID, and mandate voter roll purges every 30 days—an enormous bureaucratic task that would place undue burdens on local election officials. The measure would also add a federal law to prevent men from competing in women’s sports, and a ban on “transgender mutilation surgery.”Last week, Democrats logjammed conservative efforts to renew the FISA section in direct protest against the president’s temporary pick to run national intelligence, real estate developer Bill Pulte, who they argued had run afoul of the law by accepting the position. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence explicitly, legally requires its chiefs to have national security experience.As a result, the spy bill expired on Friday, and Republicans were able to convince Trump to withdraw Pulte and nominate a new—if equally unqualified—candidate for the job. That man was Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, who would also come to Washington with zero national security experience.Yet as he gears up for his initial committee hearing Wednesday, Democrats have signaled that they might actually be willing to work with Clayton. Senate Intelligence Ranking Member Mark Warner—a Democratic lawmaker from Virginia—told CBS News on Sunday that he’s interested in confirming Clayton as quickly as possible to advance talks to renew the FISA section.
The president says Joe Biden "gave old age a bad name," and he's right. Despite the continuing gaslighting and outright denials from the Biden family and their few remaining acolytes, it was obvious there was something very wrong with Biden's brain even before he started his first and only term as president at age 78.
