Stephen Miller's arrogant overconfidence is one big reason the Trump ship is sinking. Thune is just making the least worst decision that is still available. But hey, I won't get in the way of good old fashioned MAGA circular firing squad! The blame game is gonna turn into the BLAM! game soon, and I'm here for it. https://newrepublic.com/post/215741/stephen-miller-blame-someone-else-donald-trump-midterms#MAGA #GOP #Republicans #Trump #SAVEact

I kept saying the #GOP senators would never pass the #SAVEact. They and the donors can stand up to #Trump when it matters for them. They will throw anyone and anything under the bus, even their own kids and grandkids, but by God the filibuster is sacred. *huffs on imaginary ring and polishes it on T shirt*

Not only does half of #Congress seem uninterested in their constitutional responsibility for declarations of war, they're also happy to approve any amount of money -- money taken from literally hungry children and vulnerable people who need medical care, among other things -- to perpetuate the farcical conflict with #Iran destabilizing the entire world... They ALSO attached the #SAVEAct, which would destroy voting rights as we know it, to the whole rancid mess. #NDAA

From the retired Army general running against Fuller for Marge Three Toes' old seat. Remember, Fuller won the special election in the spring, but Gen. Harris got a lot closer than expected! After a summer of chaos and further economic deterioration, anything might happen this fall. I know it's a very heavy lift, but I want this guy in Congress so badly I can taste it. #Georgia #SAVEact

The House just voted to turn "one person, one vote" into "one person, one birth certificate, one passport, and a mountain of paperwork." The SAVE America Act isn't about "security"—it's a bureaucratic trap designed to sideline millions of eligible voters just in time for the 2026 midterms. From the "show your papers" registration mandate to the new photo ID hurdles, we've seen these suppression tactics before. https://forgottenfiles.substack.com/p/the-fine-print-of-suppression #VotingRights #SAVEAct #Democracy #2026Midterms

From the Bipartisan Policy Center regarding the #SAVEAct: Here’s what you need to know about requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote: 1) Citizenship is already a requirement to vote, and instances of noncitizen voting are rare. 2) Many eligible citizens don’t have access to documentary proof of citizenship. 3) There are better ways to verify citizenship that put the responsibility on government, not voters. 4) The SAVE Act could have unintended consequences for election officials and election administration. 5) The SAVE Act needs more time and resources to be implemented well. https://bipartisanpolicy.org/article/five-things-to-know-about-the-save-act/ #USpol #USpolitics #election #elections #voting #vote

Lots of people telling me I'm stupid to think they will not be able to vote with their state issued ID if the SAVE Act passes in its current form. I ask them, "Where on your ID does it say you are a U.S. citizen cause that's what it has to say for you to be able to register with just your ID." And the same boneheads don't believe they will have to update their voter registration. At this rate, we're going to have three people show up who are correctly registered. #uspolitics #SAVEAct

The USA is currently proposing the #SAVEAct , which places further restrictions on what kind of identification you need for being able to vote. For the sake of comparison, in Germany it's technically not necessary to show an ID when voting - you need to show your "Wahlbenachrichtigung", your notification about the election which you have received by mail. You need to register your legal residence in Germany anyway, so you should receive this notification automatically for all elections in which you are eligible. However, if the organizers have any doubts about your identity, they can ask for some photo ID. This is typically done via the "Personalausweis" - a personal ID card which is mandatory to own in Germany. For people aged 24 or older, this costs €46 to renew, and it is valid for 10 years. It is also valid for travel within all #EuropeanUnion member countries, so you don't need a travel passport for those. A travel passport is also valid for this purpose. It costs €70, and is also valid for 10 years.
