A source close to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told Fox News Digital that the South Dakota Republican intends to run for Senate minority leader following the GOP's sweeping defeat in Tuesday's midterm elections. Thune is expected to seek the leadership position despite Republicans losing at least five seats in the upper chamber, including contests in traditionally Republican strongholds such as South Carolina and Texas. The losses came amid declining approval ratings for President Donald Trump, whose administration faced criticism over the war in Iran, immigration enforcement operations and high gas prices in the months leading up to the...

Vice President JD Vance told Daily Caller Editorial Director Vince Coglianese that he and the president discussed how to take over the Senate floor and pass the SAVE America Act. Coglianese, the host of VINCE on the Bongino Report, sat down with Vance for a 30-minute interview aired on Tuesday. Vance told Coglianese that he and Trump have “obsessively” discussed how they could pass the SAVE America Act and nuke the filibuster — two of the president’s top priorities. “First of all, could I assume the chair of the Senate and fire the parliamentarian? Yes, I could. If you have...

Move along, folks, move along; nothing to see here. Just a few noncitizens voting in our federal elections. The Democrats say we don’t need the SAVE America Act, which would require voter ID, and that such things never happen, so we should be fine. The Census Bureau reported Tuesday that they’re partially done poring through the 2020 election data, and they’ve so far identified 24,000 noncitizen voters. Wait, what?! That doesn’t sound safe, legal, or rare. If the percentage continues at the same rate as they count the rest, that number could eventually rise to 30,000 votes that should not...

President Trump’s pet legislation—the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE America Act—would require Americans to provide documented proof of citizenship upon registering to vote, usually a passport or birth certificate. This, the act’s proponents argue, would prevent noncitizen actors from illegally registering and participating in American elections. The recently revealed registration mishap in New Jersey has led to renewed advocacy for the act. Vice President JD Vance weighed in; so, too, did Sen. Dave McCormick (R‑PA) and Trump’s “Rapid Response” social media account. (“Yet another reason to PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!”) But it’s unclear if the SAVE America...

President Donald Trump said on July 10 that he will not sign a housing bill passed by members of both parties in Congress. “I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The South Dakota Republican Party on Friday voted down a measure to censure Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) after the Senate failed to advance the SAVE America Act. After passing the Resolutions Committee of the South Dakota GOP, the censure was overwhelmingly voted down, with opponents saying the measure would only help Democrats. Thune currently lacks the 60 votes needed to pass the voter ID bill, which would strengthen documentation requirements for people registering to vote in order to ensure they are U.S. citizens. President Donald Trump has demanded the bill’s passage, and many conservatives believe it should be...

We don't know who is voting. We do not know if any elected official is legitimate. We are not a sovereign people if we don't know who won the election. The theft of the 2020, 2022 and 2024 elections has moved to the Grand Jury stage, probable cause established and records seized in Maricopa and Fulton Counties. Next up, Philadelphia, Detroit and Milwaukee. All five should and may well lie under close Federal supervision on voting day during the 2026 midterms.Did John Thune get a clench in his noble behind when eye-patch-pretend-pirate-guy lost his primary? Added to Trump’s relentless pressure...

President Trump said he will make a "decision fairly shortly" but that he wants "to have the full and complete Save America Act (which Includes trans issues now)

Just days after Senator John Thune said there was no time to debate and vote on the SAVE Act, it was revealed that senators held a dog parade inside the chamber, bringing their pets in for photos and celebration instead of moving forward on the election bill.I asked Grok "Is this true"... Yes, the claim in the post is largely true, though slightly misleading in its wording. On February 25, 2026, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) hosted a bipartisan event called the "Bipawtisan Doggi Gras Pawrade" (a Mardi Gras-themed dog parade) in the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building in...

(The Center Square) - The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on April 1 over whether to uphold birthright citizenship in the United States. Trump v. Barbara challenges President Donald Trump’s Jan. 20, 2025, executive order that denies birthright citizenship to children in the U.S. born after Feb. 19, 2025, whose parents are either illegally present or temporary residents of the United States. The case has far-reaching consequences and could fundamentally redefine the 14th amendment, an addendum to the U.S. Constitution that provided citizenship to formerly enslaved African Americans. Legal analysts said much interpretation of the 14th Amendment has shaped...

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) sent a letter Monday to senators laying out a simple way the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act can be brought to the floor for a vote without “nuking” the filibuster. The SAVE Act would require both documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter ID to cast a ballot. The legislation passed the House, but is stalling in the Senate, despite 50 Republican senators who co-sponsor or support the SAVE America Act, according to Roy’s letter, which was exclusively obtained by The Federalist. As Roy pointed out, Senator Majority Leader John Thune...

In his new book, Donald Trump threatens billionaire and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg with prison. Save America, set to be published next week, includes a photograph of Zuckerberg and Trump at the White House. Underneath the photo, Trump wrote that Zuckerberg “would come to the Oval Office to see me” and “bring his very nice wife to dinners, be as nice as anyone could be, while always plotting install shameful Lock Boxes in a true PLOT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.” Trump went on to pin some of his election conspiracies on Zuckerberg, and gave him a serious warning. “He told me...

For two years, the Leftist establishment prolonged and exacerbated the Hunter Biden laptop news with repeated, multipronged efforts to deny its authenticity and cover it up. Leftist ideologues were in full and enthusiastic payback mode Saturday when it came to light that a Donald Trump aide had turned over to investigators a laptop containing classified documents. #TrumpLaptop immediately began trending on Twitter, and Leftists gleefully started throwing everything that patriots have said about Hunter Biden’s laptop over the last two years back at those who have maintained that the endless investigations of Trump amount to nothing more than a hyper-partisan...

This is a special edition of Rudy Giuliani's Common Sense.

Nancy Mace is a Republican Congresswoman from South Carolina who has raised Trump’s ire and backed pro-trans bills in the past, making her a seemingly poor fit for ruby-red and pro-Trump South Carolina.Well, Trump absolutely ripped that RINO to shreds and seriously boosted her MAGA challenger in one of his “Save America” statement, saying:Don’t forget that Katie Arrington, a wonderful person, is running against the terrible Nancy Mace, who really let us down.Nancy fights Republicans all the time and is not at all nice about it. Frankly, she is despised by almost everyone, and who needs that in Congress, or...
