@OmarKelly In FL your Driver's license has already verified proof of citizenship, so it qualifies. In other states they give DLs to illegal immigrants ... so that part of the provision will help clean that up so if those states want to make it easier they will adopt similar provisions.
We make it far too easy for senators in the minority to use the filibuster to kill bills supported by the majority.
The whole idea behind the filibuster has, from the beginning, been to protect and prolong debate—not to cut off debate, forcing the Senate to abandon any bill that doesn’t immediately receive the support of at least 60 senators.
Filibustering is supposed to require far more than opposing cloture.
Especially for bills of exceptional national importance—like the SAVE America Act—senators should be required to hold the floor and speak.
The minute filibustering senators stop doing that, the legislation can and should be passed at a simple-majority threshold.
This is not a radical idea.
This describes what the filibuster is, how it has historically operated, and how it should work today.

The SAVE America Act would make it (1) easy to vote, and (2) hard to cheat
There is no good reason *not* to pass it
If Democrat senators want to filibuster the SAVE America Act, we should make them work for it
We shouldn’t make filibustering it too easy

@BlakeSNeff Because it’s the beautiful game and these are the best from every country represented. This is the group phase where they are amassing points. It’s not unlike hockey regular season. After the group phase there can be only one and we will see clear winners.
There is literally *nothing* more important for the Senate to debate and ultimately pass right now than the SAVE America Act.
Everything else pales in comparison.

@m_tt@SenAshleyMoody@rebeccajoc Bro she was obviously there over Christmas … how many others weren’t? How you gonna pass it on 12/26?? She is NOT part of the problem she is in the fight!
@DarrigoMelanie@OmarKelly Are you basing your math on the actual tax revenue if those numbers weren’t a “write-off”, the number as a whole, or your gut?
@BernieSanders@OmarKelly Have you not heard of inflation? Based on your numbers, today’s pricing is actually lower it should be with inflation over the last 15 years. High gas prices are not great, but don’t use them to deceive the American people.
I’m tired of the Senate’s evergreen excuse for inaction:
“We don’t have 60 votes.”
There are ways around the 60-vote cloture standard.
It’s time to start using them.
And stop disingenuously characterizing any refusal to do so as virtuous or conservative.
