The “Save America Act” reminds me of Christian Right godfather Paul Weyrich who infamously boasted that he didn’t want everyone to vote & co-founded the largest Christian Right umbrella political group in the US (the Council for National Policy aka “CNP”). Cleta Mitchell belonged as of 2020.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

Let's smash these MAGA cowards.
The DOJ has asked states to agree to sign a secret agreement “in connection w/ handing over their full voter files.” The agreement says that “the DOJ will ‘test, analyze, & assess states’ [voter rolls]’ & send each participating state a list of voters who must be removed within 45 days.” 2/5/26 …1/
“Confidential” Agreements Show Trump Administration’s Plans for States’ Voter Data
At least 10 states have handed over their full voter files to the Justice Department.

Given the original title of the GOP’s voter suppression bill, ie, the “Save Act” (now the “Save America Act”), I suspect that the original impetus for the bill was a desire to conduct massive purge voters using the “SAVE” database overhauled by Musk’s untrustworthy DOGE team bsky.app/profile/jenn...
3/ SAVE = the “Systemic Alien Verification for Entitlements” database. DOGE overhauled it. Trump & the GOP want states to use it to conduct the voter purge programs required under the so-called “Save America Act”, previously called the “Save Act.” www.dhs.gov/news/2025/04...

You cannot believe one word coming from this administration.
Their narrative is 'patriotism', their motive is power, wielding criminal corruption.

She voted AGAINST it, but -- by GAWD -- she loves to take credit for the "money she's bringing back home."

The... administration has undertaken a wholesale effort to gut America’s soft power: huge budget cuts, bullying most countries around the world. Of the most insidious actions has been the crack-down on immigration, and attempting to end birth-right citizenship.

Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.
Except in the United States.
Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.
We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.
