The felon is hellbent to pass SAVE. He will try to strongarm Thune into nuking the filibuster. [View all]

There is a reason they've pushed a new version of the SAVE act through the House.

The felon is hellbent on doing everything in his power to end free and fair elections in the United States. I have no doubt that getting the SAVE act passed in the Senate is currently his top priority.

The conventional wisdom right now is that the House bill is DOA in the Senate because the Democrats will filibuster it.

We CANNOT bank on that.

I think Trump will pull out all the stops to pressure Thune and other party leaders to nuke the filibuster to get that corrupt law through.

Do not underestimate the regime's determination on this.

As long as our elections are capable of measuring the true will of the American people (even imperfectly), we can thwart their effort reshape the U.S. into the mold of other illiberal democracies.

They know this.

The only way to ensure the SAVE act is truly DOA in the Senate is for constituents to relentlessly lobby their Republican Senators to vote NO. We must successfully peel off enough Republican votes to make an end to the filibuster irrelevant.
