🔥🚨 MAJOR JUST IN: The SAVE America Act Just Failed In The Senate.

The measure, which would have required voter ID and proof of citizenship nationwide, was rejected 48-50.

Republican senators Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and Susan Collins voted no.

1. WOW...agree about McConnell. Truly shocked!

[LisaL]

6. Not really.

But we came that close to having to show up with a freaking proof of citizenship. Which a lot of people do not have. Wow.

[ShazzieB]

31. I think McConnell may be running out of fucks to give.

He's perched on the brink of retirement and doesn't have to worry about pleasing anybody, including Trump. At least that's how it looks to me.

[Ponietz]

33. It will be a short retirement, he'll be dead before long

[MyOwnPeace]

41. We should all hope............

he's earned it!

[evolves]

42. I think he might already

be dead. He's looked dead for years....

[eppur_se_muova]

2. Not actually the 1st time McConnell has suggested Anus Orange needs his choke chain tightened. nt

[Mad_Machine76]

7. Good but it will never make up for everything else he's done over his career

The scale is still very heavily weighted towards him going to "the bad place" and (probably) soon.

[eppur_se_muova]

9. So true. But even for the worst of Repugs, Trmp can still ask too much occasionally. nt

[Mad_Machine76]

10. Some of them seem to have limits

but their limits are well beyond the rest of ours!

[homegirl]

49. Four

this time

EIGHT next time,

then SIXTEEN!

[spanone]

3. K&R

[LisaL]

4. Wow.

That was close.

[Mad_Machine76]

5. And contained some

unrelated super transphobic riders to the legislation

[lostnfound]

8. Don't let your guard down: the GOP has passed it at state level in numerous states

The state level bills require the state elections bureau to utilize federal government provided lists to purge voter rolls.

There’s an executive order (issued on March 31st IIRC) requiring the post office to ensure that they don’t deliver ballots to people that are not properly registered voters, and specifically requires the post office to create an ‘approved voter list’ (together with social security administration) — which can then be used to purge voters in accordance with state lists.

11. Yes, in "Red" states where it is likely to harm Republicans far more than Democrats.

[MyOwnPeace]

43. Good point!

Always LOVE to see them screw themselves over hate-inspired plans!

[littlemissmartypants]

21. I recently heard a Democrat on a round table discussion...

flippantly state that everyone just needs to get a photo ID if they want to vote.

I'm not going to name him, but I was shocked. That's definitely not the attitude that we need.

I appreciate your point in this reply. ❤️

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

12. Thom & Lisa & Mitch & Susan. Not to be confused with Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice. Or, maybe...?

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. 😂

[ShazzieB]

32. LOLOL! 😆

[MyOwnPeace]

44. Eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

[tanyev]

13. I guess we know the topic of tonight's Rage de Donny.

[Nanjeanne]

15. Wonderful News.

[MustLoveBeagles]

16. Yay!!!

[orangecrush]

17. Womp womp

[usonian]

18. SAVE? It's SUPPRESSION AND VOTER EXCLUSION. Jim Crow for short.

[BlueSpot]

19. Methinks Susan Collins is more concerned than usual

Like it might be about her job this time instead of just playacting.

[DemocracyForever]

48. She goes independent when facing re-election

to hide her true GOP allegiance hoping to fool enough independents. My hope is that she won't be allowed to get away with it this time. She put Kavanaugh on the SCOTUS and has shown that she'll continue to vote for Trump's terrible nominees.

[struggle4progress]

20. Mitch might be worryin the mere mention of his named could cause future generations to puke their guts out

[littlemissmartypants]

23. That psychopath? He couldn't care less about anything but money.

He does make current generations sick though.

[Attilatheblond]

24. He's another foe of democracy whose time is getting mighty short

Maybe he's been having nightmares of being stung upside down and nekkid by some righteously pissed off people.

[littlemissmartypants]

28. Stung or strung, I hope he's at least losing sleep and hopefully money.

I want them all to suffer.

[Wednesdays]

29. He's got a LONG road back to redemption.

[Attilatheblond]

35. He can NEVER repair half the damage he has done

[littlemissmartypants]

22. ICYMI: Here's the scoop on the act...

By Jennifer Cohn, 3/13/26

I read the Trump-backed so-called “Save America Act” (SB 1383) because most of the media and most of our lawmakers apparently have not. It’s obvious that they haven’t read it because if they had, they would sound the alarm about Point 1, below.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

25. How did Fetterman vote?

[Skittles]

27. against

says it was "needlessly complicated" - hmm, is he coming around to the right, er, left side again?

[Ponietz]

34. Don't even

[MyOwnPeace]

45. NO! Don't give him 'credit'...............

He's only building you up to let you down!

He's a TURNCOAT!!!!!

[AverageOldGuy]

26. VERY GOOD NEWS!!!

The only thing better would be word that Trump has dropped dead.

[BadgerMom]

30. Thank goodness.

I’m really relieved in the moment. The issue is that Republicans resurrect these terrible ideas. I hope it isn’t the case this time.

[OMGWTF]

36. Mitch McConnell broke America

"By rights, [Mitch] McConnell's tombstone should say that he presided over the end of the Senate. And I'd add a second line: 'He broke America.' No man has done more in recent years to undermine the functioning of the US government. He has been the epitome of unprincipled leadership, the triumph of tactics in pursuit of short-term power." -- Dana Milbank

[MyOwnPeace]

47. YES!!!!!!!!

His name needs to be out there EVERY TIME there's another 'support tRump' issue of any kind. HE is the one that stacked the Supremes and stopped the impeachment move against IQ45/47 TWICE!!!!

LET THE WORLD KNOW what a fuck-up he is!

[Katinfl]

37. So Cassidy and Cronyn are still voting party line.

[ChicagoTeamster]

38. He knows this is his last hurrah and like John McCain he's going to hold his ground on the things that matter

to him. What can they do to him now? Yeah, he's done a lot of shitty things and been handsomely rewarded. But now that he's done and he's too damn old to be a lobbyist or a consultant after this. So, he may surprise us some more. Iran war powers?

Not comparing McConnel to McCain. McCain was a more decent human being.

[electric_blue68]

39. Oh! Good!

Yeah, I know, other bad things in certain States, but at least this is down & out.

[Figarosmom]

40. 👍

[czarjak]

46. Bottom reached, much?

[louis-t]

50. The ketchup will be a-flying tonight.

[marble falls]

51. Mitch is trying to create a little legacy as he becomes totally irrelevant.

[Karasu]

52. Why the fuck is this shit still alive? There has to be a way to permanently kill this fucking fascist zombie of a bill.
