Last night, I went to the Senate floor to refute Democrat lies about the SAVE America Act.
This vital legislation requires proof of citizenship to register for federal elections. It requires photo identification when casting a ballot.
Nothing radical. Nothing extraordinary.
Nothing that millions of Americans don't already do to board an airplane, cash a check, enter a federal building, purchase certain medications, or pick up tickets at will-call.
"Noncitizen voting is already illegal."
Exactly. Robbery is illegal. We still lock the bank.
Identity theft is illegal. We still verify identities.
Fraud is illegal. We still investigate fraud.
No serious person believes that declaring something illegal eliminates the need to enforce the law.
The SAVE America Act enforces the law.
And the American people overwhelmingly want our laws enforced.
Last Thursday, President Trump declassified reports detailing how vulnerable our elections have become.
Our own intelligence community concluded that foreign adversaries like China and even non-state actors possess the capability to compromise American election infrastructure.
The assessments specifically identify voter registration databases, electronic poll books, and election websites as the most vulnerable targets.
According to the White House, Communist China acquired approximately 220 million American voter files. Names. Addresses. Phone numbers. Political affiliations. Enough information to build detailed profiles of nearly every American voter.
If China hacked the personnel files of the Pentagon, this chamber would be in an uproar.
If China stole the banking information of 220 million Americans, Congress would cancel its recess.
But somehow we're expected to shrug when the target is the American voter.
The House has acted. The President has called upon us to act. The American people are begging us to act.
The only thing standing in the way is the Senate.
We’ve been told there simply isn’t enough time to debate the SAVE America Act until it passes.
But there is no law that we all need to take summer vacations. We don’t have a lack of time; we have a lack of spine.
The American people are watching.
They know this is not about Republicans. Not about Democrats.
It isn't about the last election. It isn’t even about 2026. It's about every election yet to come, for generations, and whether Americans can trust them.
American elections belong to American citizens.
We should make it easy to vote, and hard to cheat.
We should pass the SAVE America Act.
278,000 noncitizens registered to vote.
It is more important than ever to crush foreign election interference.
It is more important than ever to pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT.
Good chat with President Trump tonight
He’s not giving up on the SAVE America Act
Neither am I
He’s as convinced as I am that we can get this done if the Senate’s willing to do the hard work
Pass it on if you’d like to see that happen
We don’t have 60 votes for the House-passed SAVE America Act
But we do have a simple majority
Given the bill’s widespread bipartisan popularity, we could pass it with a simple majority—by debating it until it passes
I explain how in this clip

@phil_lyman I live in what is called rural residential zoning. My property taxes are so high that I may lose the home that I built with my own two hands. Don't feel sorry for me, just vote for people and policies that remove the sanctuary benefits and the problem will solve itself.
@RomeInTheEast Those in the 7th century under Heraclius, they risked everything to defeat the Persians, and the successive generations that kept Anatolia from falling to Islam through guerilla tactics and refusing to surrender.
There is no interpretation of the Bible that can support the Gospel of James Talarico
God isn’t gender nonbinary
Climate alarmism isn’t a biblical mandate
It’s time for Republicans to unite behind Ken Paxton, who won tonight’s runoff in Texas
