WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators headed for the exits in the predawn hours Saturday, ending for now a crushing standoff over President Donald Trump’s demands that they stay in session to pass a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill before the summer recess.
While they wrapped up many key priorities in the overnight votes, advancing Trump’s SAVE America Act was not among them.
Instead, Republican senators who had brought the chamber to a standstill spoke to Trump late in the evening about an alternative plan: They would try again to approve elements of the voting bill as part of a broader GOP budget package to fund the Iran war and replenish the Pentagon when they return to work in September.

The plan B is something in September when they return.
Does this satisfy you?
Thune and his toadies win again.
I now have a livid hatred for all of Congress. Come and kill me you punks. I don’t want to live under YOUR slavery system.
It is obvious that certain Senators WANT NON-CITIZENS TO VOTE.
Why?
Electability and MONEY!!!!!!
It’s easy. There are many like cocaine Mitch that are owned by the CCP and drug cartels.
Their time back home should be made unbearably uncomfortable
Disappoint!
Does this satisfy you?
NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.
it absolutely does NOT satisfy me, or the needs of the Republic
often the simplest explanation is the closest to correct
how much are the handful of RINO senators getting paid to enable the DemoNaziCommie power-grabbing agenda?
follow the money.
They want Trump to fail. Its that easy.
Republicans are useless
YES! I do NOT want SAVE now! It would dissipate the move afoot for the real plan to unfold. In hind sight, I say SAVE was always doomed.
Even if they passed it this afternoon, it'd be useless: It might fix voter rolls that have already selected many tainted candidates for the midterms. It would get mired in the courts for any possible outcome well after November.
So, I'm happy with this non-outcome of not getting SAVE.
Roll out the next step!
We should brace ourselves for the unprecedented EVER, declaration of a National Emergency with respect to Elections.
Nobody should really be surprised, if following the series of Trump EO's: 13848, 14248 and 14399.
If POTUS fails, the USA fails!
EXCUSE ME !!!!!! HOW MANY DEMOCRATS SUPPORT THE SAVE ACT?
WHY ARE THEY BEING GIVEN A PASS?
Please consider, my good FRiends, this verbatim quote from a i online...
The SAVE America Act is broadly popular with U.S. voters, with multiple polls indicating 71% to 85% support for its core provisions among registered voters. A February 2026 Harvard CAPS/Harris poll found 71% of registered voters support the bill, including 91% of Republicans, 69% of independents, and 50% of Democrats.
What I don't get is that SUPPORT for the SAVE act would make GREAT election ads and sniveling away without further voting takes away this chance to connect with voters on an emotional issue, n'est ce pas?
What did mad Maxine say?
[paraphrased] 'Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Senate in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.'
No SAVE, No vote from me!
The corruption is bone-deep. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it. Shut up and pay your taxes...or else. Too much power in too few hands, and so it is, as the Founding Fathers warned. A Republic if you can keep it. It will only endure if its citizens were virtuous and moral...its been in decay for a while, and now Congress is flagrant...no shame and why should they have any, real or faked? No one is arrested, no one is prosecuted, no one goes to jail or loses their pension. It’s become a criminal class, and we are their subjects. Troubles a brewing....
Shocked face.....😴😴😴😴. And republicrats wonder how socialists are becoming a thing. Fooking idjits need to wake up. 😠
