Jim Banks is Now the THIRD Senator to Oppose August Recess Until the SAVE America Act Passes
"We don't need a recess. Let's pass the SAVE America Act. It's more important than taking a break, taking a recess!"
Every Republican Senator should join him.
The simplest explanation for why Republican Senators won’t pass the Save Act is that they hate American (and Republican) voters, they hate representative government, and they are conspiring with the Democrats to destroy MAGA populism and return to business as usual.
I'm old enough to remember when everybody was MAGA.
Bill Clinton 1993: "We have to end welfare as a way of life and make it a path to independence and dignity."
Barack Obama 2005: "We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected undocumented unchecked and go around our communities without our knowledge of them."
Hillary Clinton 2008: "If they've committed a crime deport them. No questions asked. They're gone."
Chuck Schumer 2009: "Illegal immigration is wrong plain and simple."
Joe Biden 2006: "I voted for a fence. I voted for 700 miles of fence."
Harry Reid 1993: "No sane country would grant citizenship to children of illegal immigrants."
Bernie Sanders 2015: "Open borders is a Koch brothers proposal that would make everybody in America poorer."
The Secure Fence Act of 2006 had yes votes from Obama, Hillary, Schumer and Biden.
Don't you dare allow them to gaslight you into thinking your values are racist and radical. These used to be mainstream Democrat positions.
They only changed their minds once their party decided to use illegals to steal power from the American people.
Dear Senator Thune
The old institutional rules were built for a different country.
Open borders, criminal aliens and weak election systems changed the game. Proof of citizenship and voter ID aren’t radical - - they’re the bare minimum response to reality.
Clinging to Senate process while the conditions that made those rules workable disappear isn’t prudence. It’s denial.
Different times demand different measures. The institution needs to adapt or it becomes the obstacle.
Pass the SAVE Act.
God bless America🇺🇸
I don't give a damn if taking a side creates a mountain of enemies, if even my former fans turn against me, if my 300,000 followers shrink to three.
Deep in my soul I respect Elon Musk to the absolute maximum.
If he hadn't risked everything, succeeded, and bought X, free speech in Japan would already be dead.
We would all be living exactly as the leftist and Chinese-controlled television tells us to — and we would already be becoming Islamic.
By the time my daughter entered elementary school there might have been a law forcing us to hand her over to Muslims.
Human beings are not born to be liked by others.
We do not live so that our daughters can smile and say "you're a good person" while we enjoy a peaceful, smiling life.
Even if I lose everything, I will still protect my daughters somehow.
That is the definition of being human.
The only platform that still gives us any chance of protecting that is X.
From the very moment Twitter was renamed, I have deliberately and loudly called it X.
I have done nothing wrong.
I will never apologize to anyone.
America should be a country for Americans.
Japan should be a country for Japanese.
Britain should be a country for the British.
That is all.
🚨 JUST IN: Senator Mike Lee just told Senate GOP leadership to
- CANCEL RECESS
- WORK THROUGH WEEKENDS
- NUKE THE 60-VOTE ZOMBIE FILIBUSTER
- Force Democrats to expend political capital opposing the SAVE America Act on the floor
- And SEND THE BILL TO PRESIDENT TRUMP with a majority vote
No more LAZINESS!
LEE: "We could break the Democrats’ filibuster the old-fashioned way: make them actually speak on the Senate floor, knowing we can 'call the question' and pass it at a simple-majority threshold the minute they stop speaking."
"We could add pressure by working through weekends and recess weeks as needed, with a public commitment to keep the Senate in session until the bill passes."
"Right now Senate Democrats enjoy all the benefits of the filibuster with none of the political cost—and without even having to work for it."
"We could also advance key provisions of the SAVE America Act using budget reconciliation. Or we could nuke the filibuster."
"But doing nothing as Democrats increasingly abuse the filibuster is no longer defensible—especially as evidence continues to mount that hundreds of thousands of noncitizens are registered to vote in U.S. elections."
100% AGREE, @BasedMikeLee! Time is RUNNING OUT
The American people are demanding immediate action from Congress on election integrity. That’s why the SAVE America Act is the first bill I am cosponsoring in the Senate.
These reforms are common sense and need to be enacted quickly. I look forward to working closely with @POTUS to get the SAVE America Act signed into law.
@sola_chad 1 Timothy 2:5. There is but one mediator between the Father and man. That is the Lord Jesus Christ. Not Mary, not Peter, not the Pope, not anyone. Jesus and Jesus alone
🚨 BOOM — SENATOR MIKE LEE ON THE SAVE AMERICA ACT: "SHAME ON US if we don't take the steps necessary to extricate ourselves from the sharp clinging talons of the zombie filibuster, the name I've assigned for the use of the 60 vote cloture standard as a de facto 60 vote PASSAGE standard!"
"When nobody else shows up to speak against it — that's over and you call the question on the bill and you call it not at 60 votes you call it at 51. That's what we ought to be doing. We should put this bill on the floor and we should debate it until such time as it passes!"
🔥🔥🔥
That’s just not true.
No person would be turned away from voting.
Any person without documentation would be able to sign an attestation.
The SAVE America Act does NOT require proof of citizenship for those already registered to vote.
Why don’t you suggest an amendment which would allow remote Alaskan voters to attach a copy of their proof of citizenship + photo ID to an absentee ballot?
It’s completely disingenuous to say you don’t have the time to implement the SAVE America Act
when you could have passed it last year.
It’s equally as bad to say that you support photo ID & proof of citizenship when you won’t even offer suggestions for how to earn your support on this legislation.
Looks like I’ll have to travel to Alaska to ask the voters themselves.
Every time a republican emails for donations I ignore them just like they ignore their constituents by not passing the Save America Act. See how that works? @SenateGOP@HouseGOP@GOP@LeaderJohnThune
