Maybe POTUS Trump counters with military observance of every station relative to voting in November 2026 due to the ongoing "invasion" of the USA!!

Trump Urges Senators to Skip Recess for SAVE America Act

Last updated
11 hours ago

The SAVE America Act requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections and photo ID to vote, aimed at bolstering election security by removing non-citizens from rolls. At least 18 Republican senators, including Mike Lee and Rick Scott, pledged to work through recess, while Scott Presler called out 11 others up for reelection in 2028 who haven't committed. Senate Majority Leader John Thune resists without a clear path to 60 votes, as Democrats like Sen. Mazie Hirono label it voter suppression, even as the Senate advanced a government funding measure.

This is not from "32 minutes ago" this vote happened in June. What is wrong with you people? Stop posting fake news bullshite. Graham is not alive anymore.

We are fighting the stupidity of the left. We dont' fight it with our own brand of stupidity and lies.

quote:

That specific motion and vote happened on June 4, 2026.
During a Senate “vote-a-rama” on a budget reconciliation bill (S. 2 / related to FY2026 Budget Reconciliation, involving a ~$70 billion immigration/enforcement package), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) offered amendment #5779 to attach the SAVE America Act (or a version of it).
Because the amendment raised budget points of order under the Congressional Budget Act (provisions that were not purely budgetary in nature), Graham moved to waive the Budget Act (specifically, to waive all applicable budgetary discipline/points of order) so the amendment could be considered


quote:

The motion to waive failed 48-50.
It required a 3/5 supermajority (60 votes) to succeed.
Four Republicans voted no: Susan Collins (ME), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Mitch McConnell (KY), and Thom Tillis (NC). They joined Democrats in opposition.
This is documented in official Senate floor updates, the Senate Periodical Press Gallery, GovTrack, and contemporary news coverage. It was one of several failed attempts to advance the SAVE Act via reconciliation or as an amendment to other bills. The underlying SAVE Act provisions still have not passed the Senate

Congress is the enemy of the people it’s supposed to represent.

CA is usually better than this, but it's a recurring problem on this board with other posters -- some influencer posts a clip of Fox News from a year ago and it's pushed as breaking news.
