"Between being exposed as a liar by congress members, dealing with the failure of the TPUSA halftime show, and constantly fighting diaper rash, Tr*mp has had a no good, very bad week. Which means that the American people are about to face a whole new sh*tstorm, since our sitting despot loves nothing more than taking out his personal issues on the rest of us."
"An early version of the bill required either a passport or birth certificate to be displayed, causing potential issues for millions of married women whose married names don't match those documents. The version of the bill that passed is milder, but still concerning. Under the SAVE America Act, states would to submit a list of voters to Homeland Security regularly. In a country already facing a voting crisis, this doesn't only deter marginalized people from voting, it transforms the 15th amendment into a mass surveillance opportunity."
Tr*mp has been urging lawmakers to advance the SAVE America Act, a bill that could require prospective voters to show proof of citizenship and photo ID to cast ballots. An earlier version demanded a passport or birth certificate, which would have disadvantaged millions of married women whose names differ from those documents. The version that passed the House is milder but would require states to regularly submit voter lists to Homeland Security, raising mass surveillance concerns. The measure primarily targets immigrants and marginalized communities and could deter eligible citizens from voting, with spillover harms to American citizens.
