Again, stop taking twitter as gospel. A simple AI search will let you know if what they are posting is bullshite. What you posted is from 2 months ago and only serves to rile people up. This thread SHOULD be deleted, as well as Major Dutch's thread. You're essentially spamming the board with old and/or fake news. Why? Just do a little bit of research. The big clue here, is that A, Congress isn't voting on the SAVE act at 7 AM. B, Lindsey Graham is dead.

This is pretty sneaky of X just to girate interest. At least we know Darlines statement on no recess is accurate...

I will correct OP

Those X posts are recycling old news from early June 2026 and framing it as current or “breaking,” often amid ongoing pressure around the Senate’s scheduled August recess.

@grok

There was no Senate floor vote on the SAVE America Act (or a related amendment) in August 2026. The last actual votes were the 48-50 rejections (and one related attempt that reached 50) of amendments to attach it to an immigration/reconciliation package around June 4–5, 2026. Reliable contemporary reporting, congressional records summaries, and later trackers (including into early August) confirm this; the bill remained stalled afterward.

What is happening on X right now (as of August 4, 2026):Accounts are reposting videos/text about the June 48-50 outcome (naming the same four Republican “no” votes: Collins, Murkowski, McConnell, and Tillis) with “BREAKING,” “JUST IN,” or “AGAIN” language, even though the events are two months old.
Parallel discussion focuses on pressure to cancel or delay the August recess until the bill passes. Sen. Mike Lee and others have publicly objected to recess and called for staying in session; Trump has urged the same. This creates a news cycle of urgency that some users blend with the older rejection results.

In short, the “they voted in Aug 2026” headlines reflect viral misdating/recycling of the June vote plus current recess politics, not a new roll-call vote. No credible news outlet or official record reports a fresh Senate vote on the measure in August.
