Republicans fail to attach SAVE America Act to party-line funding package

A cohort of Senate Republicans joined Democrats to sink a late-night attempt to attach a version of voter ID and citizenship verification legislation to the GOP’s bill funding federal immigration enforcement.

Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., all voted against a modified version of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act early Thursday morning.

Their defection came during the Senate’s marathon “vote-a-rama,” where lawmakers could force votes on any number of amendments, regardless of whether they mesh with the underlying budget blueprint.

The amendment’s 48-to-50 failure crystallized what several Republicans had warned for weeks before launching a quasi-floor takeover to debate the SAVE America Act last month — it didn’t have the support among the GOP to pass.

It appears the proposal was doomed even if Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., launched an oral filibuster to advance the measure with a simple 50-vote majority.

Still, Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., pushed his version of the SAVE America Act after threatening to hold up the process until Thursday.

Kennedy acknowledged that his effort may not comport with the strict Senate rules that guide the reconciliation process, known as the Byrd Rule, but countered that critics of his move “can’t predict the future.”

“I respect everybody in this body, everybody,” Kennedy said on the Senate floor. “If you vote against this bill, I’m not going to say a word. And I’m sure as hell not going to go on social media and call you an ignorant slut. That’s not the way I roll, unless I’m pushed too far.”

Voting Rights Groups Sue To Stop DOJ From Collecting State Voter Lists

Voting rights groups filed a lawsuit on April 21 seeking to block the Department of Justice (DOJ) from collecting, compiling, and analyzing state voter registration lists.

As of April 1, the DOJ has sued 30 states, including Washington, for failing to turn over voter rolls. The department has said the U.S. attorney general has congressional authority under the Civil Rights Act of 1960 to seek election records from states to check for improper voter registrations.

The groups filed a complaint on April 21, accusing the DOJ of seeking to use the sensitive data to build what they described as a “sprawling new voter surveillance and purging apparatus” without congressional authorization.

The complaint alleges that the department attempted to usurp states’ authority to oversee election administration and impose its own “secretive ’verification procedures’” to identify ineligible voters.

“Never before has a federal agency centralized this volume of Americans’ voting data in a single system of records,” it stated.

“And in doing so, DOJ has flouted statutory safeguards designed to ensure transparency and public participation in the federal government’s collection of Americans’ personal information.”

The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by advocacy group Common Cause and four individual members of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

The data requested by the DOJ includes voters’ Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, political party affiliations, and voter participation history, according to the filing.

The groups are seeking a court order requiring the DOJ to delete any voter rolls it has obtained from states and to bar the department from compiling or disclosing voter data.

Harmeet K. Dhillon, assistant attorney general of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, said on April 1 that the department has a duty to ensure state compliance with election laws.

Declassified National Intelligence Memorandum Shows US Adversaries Had Capability to Compromise US Election Infrastructure and Much More

A newly declassified National Intelligence Council (NIC) memo titled “Vulnerabilities in U.S. 2020 Election Infrastructure” from January 15, 2020, was published by Just The News.  The memo was declassified by the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, on March 16, 2026.

The concerns raised by the NIC were enough to warrant officials briefing President Trump in February 2020, a month after the report was released, according to reporting from Just the News.

The “Key Takeaway” from the memo states, “We assess that at least Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea have the capability to access and potentially manipulate data in U.S. election-related computer systems,” while acknowledging they were not aware of any “specific plans” to do so.

The report also acknowledges “nonstate groups” as having the capability to gain access to the critical infrastructure.

Chris Krebs, who was the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency at the time, infamously testified before Congress on November 12, 2020, that the 2020 election was “the most secure in American history”.  This was a joint statement from the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council (GCC) and the Sector Coordinating Council (SCC).

The GCC is made of key representatives of federal agencies and local election officials, but also includes non-governmental organizations such as the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) and the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED).

The SCC is made up of private sector counterparts such as Dominion Voting (now LibertyVote), Hart InterCivic, Democracy Works, ES&S, and ERIC.

The ‘Most Secure Election in History’ Was a Lie, and Now We Have Proof

Before a single ballot was cast in the 2020 presidential election, America’s top intelligence analysts had already concluded that foreign adversaries could compromise U.S. election systems — and officials buried that warning rather than let voters see it.

A newly declassified National Intelligence Council memo, dated Jan. 15, 2020, assessed that ”US adversaries, including, at a minimum, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise US election infrastructure for the 2020 presidential election.”

The memo, which was obtained by Just the News, added, “Adversaries gaining access to US election-related systems could disrupt the voting process, steal sensitive data, or undermine confidence in the election results, but we do not know whether any of them have specific plans to manipulate election-related systems.”

The National Intelligence Council’s (NIC) concerns were so extensive that officials personally briefed President Donald Trump at the White House in February 2020, according to photos obtained by Just the News showing top CIA, FBI and Homeland Security officials joining with NIC analysts to inform the president.

But the American public was never fully alerted, even after evidence emerged that China had gained access to voter registration data in multiple states and had even sent fake driver’s licenses to the United States in a bid to help Joe Biden win the election, officials said.

The public never heard a word of it, even as Democrats spent years claiming that the 2020 election was the most secure in years.

What makes this even worse is the apparent coordinated effort to sell the 2020 election as the most secure election in history. That narrative now appears to be part of a deliberate cover-up of the truth. Think about it: Despite the known vulnerabilities, in mid-November, the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council stated that the 2020 presidential election was “the most secure in American history.” That mantra has been echoed countless times by the media and the Democratic Party. It was ridiculous before this revelation, and it now looks deliberately deceptive.

Tim Kaine Openly Admits Why Democrats Are Really Disenfranching Voters

Last week, far-left Governor Abigail Spanberger officially signed legislation that would enter Virginia into the controversial National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) and upend the commonwealth’s electoral landscape.

It would hand Democrats a 10-1 advantage in the U.S. House delegation, expanding a 6D–5R delegation into a potential 10 Democrats, 1 Republican dominance.

Virginia becomes the 19th jurisdiction to join the compact, bringing the total to 222 electoral votes, just 48 shy of the 270 needed to activate the plan.

Under the compact, once the 270 threshold is reached:

  • Participating states would award ALL their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner
  • This would apply regardless of how voters in their own state actually voted
  • In effect, state election results could be rendered meaningless

The Democrats’ big-city machines and open-border policies will decide who becomes President.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) joined Shannon Bream on Fox News Sunday and said the quiet part out loud. This move is not about fairness or representing voters, it is about stopping Donald Trump.

Bream stated, “Let’s talk about the last vote there in Virginia, the presidential vote. Vice President Kamala Harris won by about 5 percentage points. So the state is relatively split with a left lean, but 90% of House members from Virginia being from one party?”

Harmeet Dhillon on DOJ Suing Multiple States and DC Over Access to Voter Rolls: “We Have Found at Least 350,000 Dead People Currently On the Voter Rolls” 

US Assistant AG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the DOJ suing 29 states and DC over access to voter rolls.

Bartiromo and Dhillon also discussed the Russia Collusion Hoax and why it appears that no one is ever held accountable for it.

“Our audience knows exactly what happened with the Russia Collusion story. No one has been held accountable. Why not?” Bartiromo asked.

“I heard Kash’s remarks. I agree with them. And you know, your folks need to understand that when we start these investigations, it takes time. We have to interview a lot of witnesses. We don’t want to do what the other side did, which is just jump to conclusions. And so we are building strong cases,” Dhillon said.

“Some of the judges out there, particularly judges appointed more recently, have been, you know, doing their own form of lawfare by simply denying the Trump administration’s valid cases in court,” Dhillon continued.

“I can assure you that you know, the whole Department of Justice is very committed to this, and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is continuing the work started under the Attorney General Pam Bondi,” Dhillon explained.

“If the Republicans lose seats in the House, will these investigations get derailed?” Bartiromo asked.

Georgia Election Workers Charged for Years-Long Healthcare Fraud Scheme

Two Georgia elections workers and other Middle Georgia women have been charged for their role in a healthcare fraud scheme.

Tarshea Fudge-Riley, elections supervisor for Macon County and Lamonica Lakes, election clerk and deputy election registrar allegedly participated in a years-long scheme to commit healthcare fraud.

The women allegedly submitted fraudulent insurance claims for mental health therapy sessions that never even happened.

“Federal prosecutors believe Fudge-Riley, who is the Chief Macon County BOE Supervisor, and Lakes, an elections clerk at the Macon County BOE, as well as Childs, were paid by James Ellis to knowingly create fake therapy session notes that were submitted to health insurance providers for “pre-payment review,”” WGXA reported.

And these are the people we are supposed to trust with elections.

Fudge-Riley and Lakes reportedly still work in the elections office.

The women received millions of dollars after submitting fraudulent claims.

Obama Films Desperate Video Pleading with Virginians to Approve Redistricting Referendum That Could Flip Up to Four House Seats to Democrats

Barack Obama released a video on Thursday calling for Virginia voters to approve a constitutional amendment on the April 21 special election ballot that would temporarily suspend the state’s bipartisan redistricting commission and let the Democrat-controlled General Assembly redraw congressional district maps.

The measure, framed by supporters as a response to Republican-led mid-decade redistricting in other states, would allow lawmakers to adopt new congressional maps for the 2026 midterms and beyond, continuing through the 2030 census.

Democrats say the proposed maps could shift Virginia’s current 6-5 Democratic advantage in the U.S. House delegation to as many as 10-1.

In the video, Obama stated:

“By voting yes, you can push back against the Republicans trying to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterms.”

The former president continued, “By voting yes, you can take a temporary step to level the playing field. And we’re counting on you.”

Wait, Did This Former Trump Official Just Reveal the Voting Rights Act Decision?

Where is the decision on the Supreme Court case involving the Voting Rights Act? Where is Louisiana v. Callais, the case that could weaken the Voting Rights Act, and potentially cause Democrats to tremble? The national consequences of this decision are critical, as a ruling striking down the VRA could lead to total Republican control across the South. Perhaps that’s why the Court is slow-walking in releasing the opinion.

Sean Spicer said on The Huddle that the opinion is finished, but some justices are holding out as long as possible to prevent redistricting. Does that mean VRA is going to be struck down?

“I have been told by reliable sources that the decision is done and the minority is slow walking the dissent so that states do not have time to redistrict,” said Spicer.

So, does this mean we won?

The Callais case revolves around whether the creation of a majority-minority congressional district in Louisiana violates the 14th and 15th amendments.

Radical Democrat Virginia Governor Signs Away the Commonwealth’s Electoral Votes to the National Popular Vote Scam – Democrats One Step Closer to Rigging the Presidency Forever

The radical left’s war on the American Republic just took a terrifying leap forward in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

On Tuesday, far-left Governor Abigail Spanberger officially signed legislation that would enter Virginia into the controversial National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). This dangerous move effectively strikes a match to the U.S. Constitution.

Virginia becomes the 19th jurisdiction to join the compact, bringing the total to 222 electoral votes, just 48 shy of the 270 needed to activate the plan.

According to the League of Women Voters, “Six additional states with 65 electoral votes (Arizona, Michigan, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) are especially promising places for obtaining the 48 electoral votes needed before 2028.”
