Trump says he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act hits his desk—and Democrats are threatening to block everything else to stop it.

If the SAVE Act becomes law it could block millions from voting. Mail-in, online, and drive-up registration gone. IDs no longer enough. Women, military, Native Americans all at risk. This isn’t voter ID—it’s voter suppression.

Watch this video to see who this bill harms most.

The SAVE Act Could Reshape U.S. Elections Forever & Suppress Millions of Votes | Let’s Address This

@QasimRashid I think voter suppression is the goal. Complaining that MAGA is succeeding is not likely to get MAGA to change their plan. You might try another tactic... just sayin'. But I'm old, don't believe me.

Trump says he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act hits his desk

i wonder what the plan is for article 1 section 7:

If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a Law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a Law.

The theme of the GOP of late has been to abdicate Congressional powers to the WH one way or another. I think there are pathways to do something similar here - perhaps the Senate will actually go on recess for the first time in a long, long time...

or, you know, they just ignore it.

(Is there other major legislation that's likely to pass other than SAVE in the pipeline right now anyway?)

@cxberger @QasimRashid At the risk of me being a wiseguy, any plan on Trump's part to deal with Article 1, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution would seem to require that Trump knows what is in the U.S. Constitution,. Some of us have our doubts.

No surprise. Other news reports have Trump in a tither because other countries in NATO are invoking the Pottery Barn principle for his war with Iran: "You broke it, you own it."

@cxberger @QasimRashid ... just to add a serious comment: the refusal of other NATO countries to help bail Trump out is a really good decision: it reinforces the idea that NATO is a defensive alliance with no plans to attack other countries. That might help reduce the Russian government's concerns about NATO being some sort of threat, which was one of Putin's stated reasons for attacking Ukraine.
@QasimRashid I wish there was some consistent opposition messaging on "Trump's Voter suppression bill"
@QasimRashid Voter ID laws are voter suppression laws
@QasimRashid The fewer bills he signs, the better. 🤔 Not the flex sheetler thinks it is?

@QasimRashid Electoral domain in the last item that makes the US _not_ a full blown autocracy. So it should fall before end of year.
