Republicans claim the SAVE America Act would make it harder for noncitizens to vote. That’s a lie. They might as well call it the “Stop Citizens from Voting Act.” This bill is all about stopping some American citizens who Trump doesn’t want to vote from casting their ballot.
Republicans say their bill is about keeping noncitizens from voting. That’s a lie! The Republican bill is about stopping CITIZENS from voting—married women, students, Tribal communities. It’s just plain wrong.
Democrats just offered a bill to make sure TSA agents get their paychecks. AGAIN. Republicans blocked it. AGAIN. Republicans need to get serious about paying critical federal workers.
Trump said he’d end wars and lower costs but he’s starting wars and raising costs. His chaotic tariffs are taking money out of YOUR pocket as he wages an illegal war with Iran that is costing taxpayers more than $1 billion EVERY DAY.
Around the world, we’re seeing powerful men being held accountable because of the Epstein Files—a prince, a former prime minister.

We need to follow suit here in America. No one is above the law, including the President. abcnews.com/US/epstein-f...
Trump’s illegal war with Iran has no clear objective and no exit plan. He’s raising costs on families, shredding the Constitution, and risking our national security—and there’s no plan.
