The SAVE Act would require Americans to drive, fly, or even take a ferry to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Alaskan Senator Murkowski explains:

@warnock.senate.gov: "This really is NOT a partisan issue." The SAVE Act would deny millions of Americans their constitutional right to vote.

The SAVE Act would make registering to vote an added burden for U.S. service members and their families. Hear from U.S. Army veteran Naveed Shah (@armyofnaveed.bsky.social):

One more thing about the SAVE Act that's laughable, North Dakota, which doesn't do voter registration would be COMPLETELY EXEMPT. So while Americans in all other 49 states would need to show a passport or birth certificate in person to register to vote, North Dakotans can just walz to the polls.

There are ALREADY documentation requirements to be able to register to vote. ‼️ The SAVE Act would upend this process and make every American citizen put in the work, time, and resources to exercise their constitutional right to vote. https://ampr.gs/40PaPJz

"What is the SAVE America Act really saving us from?" @bluntrochester.senate.gov calls out the real motive behind Trump's SAVE Act.

The SAVE Act is a key part of the Trump administration's plan to manipulate election rules and take away the people's power to decide election outcomes. https://ampr.gs/4rMkcpS

On This International Women’s Day, the SAVE America Act Reminds Us the Fight for Women’s Suffrage Is Still Being Fought | "We’re about 100 years out from getting the right to vote & now we’re fighting this bill which would make it harder for millions of women to vote,” said @gbedekovics.bsky.social

Jesus Christ, Polis, have a little respect for your office and your state. Peters betrayed her public office in a way that struck at the very basis of our democracy. Also note that she was convicted on *multiple other* counts -- including conspiracy to commit impersonation and official misconduct.

CAP's expert, Greta Bedekovics, answers the most googled questions about the anti-voter SAVE Act and the SAVE America Act.

Trump just described voting as "the greatest privilege of them all." We don't call it a privilege here. It's a right.

Trump reinforced his support of the SAVE America Act during SOTU. One part he conveniently forgets? It requires states to hand over voter rolls to DHS & creates a federalized surveillance system of voters under Kristi Noem. The last thing Americans want is her in charge of their voter reg status.

Trump called for passage of the SAVE Act again during SOTU. Calling SAVE “voter ID” is MAGA sugarcoating MAGA to try to make Americans swallow this toxic bill. SAVE requires Americans to show a passport or birth certificate. REAL IDs don’t count. This isn’t election integrity, it’s election rigging.

Must read from AK Sen. Lisa Murkowski on why she’s opposing the SAVE Act. One chief reason being how terrible the bill would be for rural communities and that fact that some Alaskans would have to fly to show their passport or birth certificate to an election official 👇 www.adn.com/opinions/202...

She’s not wrong! The SAVE Act is so badly written, it mandates state officials make printers and scanners available to the public for scanning documents. They provide no $ for implantation to overhaul voting nationwide but do this. “hard to cheat, EASY to vote” right?….

House set to pass new version of SAVE Act today, making terrible bill even worse. Could disenfranchise: -21 million Americans without access to citizenship papers -69 million married women who took partner’s name -21 million without current drivers license www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: The SAVE Act is once again up for a vote tomorrow—it's not a voter ID bill, it's a show-your-papers mandate.

Many people think the SAVE Act wouldn’t apply to them because they have REAL ID. But that’s NOT true!! A REAL ID license is NOT proof of citizenship-it’s proof of legal presence. Permanent residents + visa holders can get REAL ID & in nearly all states they don’t look any different!

Th SAVE Act is up for another vote tomorrow! This is NOT a voter ID bill! It would force Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person at their election office. This is a real drive someone would have to make to show their docs to an election official! 8 hours! And they’re not alone.

Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote. But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun. These are not serious people.

Honestly this could not be funnier if you tried. Sen Cramer ND supports the SAVE Act which would require doc proof of citizenship for voter reg…Meanwhile ND is the ONLY state that doesn’t do voter registration! ND would likely be exempt, but he supports making voting harder for millions of Americans

Text SAVE to 63033 to tell your Senators to vote NO on the SAVE Act and stop voter disenfranchisement.

Feels like a crime to return to this BS after MLK Day…There is no version of the SAVE Act that is feasible that would not disenfranchise millions of American citizens —140M+ don’t have a passport, 70M women don’t have matching documents, & in person means making rural folks drive hours to show docs

The Trump administration's threat to fire employees is not about so-called government efficiency—it's clear political retaliation at the expense of people’s livelihoods, careers, and the vital services they provide to the American people. More from Greta Bedekovics: https://ow.ly/jBHZ50X4kNk

On the 60th anniversary of the VRA, conservatives thought it was a good idea to launch a bus tour to support the SAVE Act-legislation that would restrict citizens' right to vote.... Bus tours were instrumental in the fight for voting rights during the civil rights movement. They know no shame

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act being signed into law; with the courts having gutted key provisions of the VRA, Americans have less protections for voting now than they did upon the VRA's enactment. Congress must reauthorize an updated VRA, it must pass the John Lewis VRAA

Make sure you check out this part of the report, showing how much funding states have lost based on their higher ed student population. Hardest hit states include South Dakota, Idaho, Montana, South Carolina. This isn't about "wokeness" or "DEI" its about attacking higher education and science

JD Vance: "If any of us want to do the things we want to do for our country and the people who live in it – we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities." This mission is evident in my new piece which maps 4k grant cuts to 600 schools & shows that red+blue states are under attack

"It has become clear that the admin’s policy agenda is not merely to bend higher ed institutions to its political will, but that attacking higher ed is in and of itself a policy agenda." Devastating findings from @americanprogress.bsky.social's @gbedekovics.bsky.social & @citizenwillis.bsky.social

American science & innovation should not be subject to the political winds of the day.

Fun reminder than when Trump asked states for their voter data in 2017, the Louisiana Republican Secretary of State told the administration to “go jump in the Gulf of Mexico.” Sure hope states are telling him to go jump in the Gulf of America this time.

From @carriejohnson.bsky.social More than 30,000 people have already voted in the election for the president of the D.C. Bar Association, more than triple the previous record set in 1990.

🚨 Today the House will consider a reconciliation bill that includes a very dangerous provision advocates have been sounding the alarm on. This provision, also in HR 9495, would give new powers to the Treasury, & by extension POTUS, to unilaterally designate organizations as terrorist supporting 🚨

The FBI has now arrested a judge who would not allow ICE to detain someone WITHOUT DUE PROCESS. That is what she was arrested for. ICE did not have a warrant and she would not allow them to kidnap someone for her chambers. That’s her “crime.” This is a first, not a last…

MADISON, Wis. – Yesterday, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and other publications reported that Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan apparently attempted to protect a defendant from ICE agents trying to detain that defendant. (1/6)

A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction to prevent further action on Trump's EO to require Americans to submit documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote. This EO is Trump's way to bypass Congress & enact the SAVE Act. Win of the day 🎉

Trump Admin: I don’t like Harvard’s politics or beliefs so I’m gonna have the IRS revoke their nonprofit status. JD Vance: “If the IRS can go after you because of what you think, or what you believe, or what you do, we no longer live in a free country.” Is the free country in the room with us 👀

Before passing the SAVE Act last week, House GOP rejected an amendment that would have allowed for digital copies of citizenship docs, likely saving online voter reg. They really doubled down and said we’re gonna force rural Americans to drive hours just to update their voter reg info. #HandsOff

Since the SAVE Act passed in the House last week, many Americans are worried how this bill will affect their ability to vote in the future. Watch @gbedekovics.bsky.social answer one Reddit user's question on how the SAVE Act would impact victims of natural disasters.

The Trump administration is claiming the power to send you to a prison, forever, without any trial and without any recourse. You do not have any rights if they can do that. That is the end of actual freedom. Begging you to be physically present today, showing your opposition.

The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that could block millions of American citizens from voting. Here's what you need to know from @gbedekovics.bsky.social:

If you caught my crying at my desk earlier today, it’s because @hillaryclinton.bsky.social shared the data/map I published on the SAVE Act showing that the bill would make it harder for 69 million women to register to vote. One good moment in months of work on this terrible bill!!!

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

🚨Things you need to buy are about to get WAYYYY more expensive because of Trump's tariffs🚨 NEW analysis from @americanprogress.bsky.social: www.americanprogress.org/article/exam...

Fun fact: eight in ten married women have changed their surname which means they don’t have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name. Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act. The GOP is trying to silence women across the country. #HandsOffHerVote

A House vote on the SAVE Act is imminent. If enacted, 69 MILLION married women would have a much harder time registering to vote bc their name doesn’t match their birth certificate. It shouldn’t be harder for women to vote than to their husbands…why do we even have to say that #HandsOffHerVote

Sooooooo - you want to learn just enough about executive orders to know what on earth is going on in politics these days? I’ve got you 🧵

ICYMI, yesterday @gbedekovics.bsky.social answered your questions about the SAVE Act on Reddit. Check out her breakdown of ID requirements for voter registration for this one user. (Spoiler alert: federal law already requires you to provide ID info to register to vote!)

Join me at 2:00pm today for a Reddit AMA on r/politics to talk about the SAVE Act and Trump’s unconstitutional executive order on voting!

The SAVE Act & Trump’s unconstitutional EO say voters could use REAL ID….as long as it indicates citizenship status. Only problem is — the vast majority REAL IDs don’t do this. Don’t take my word for it — listen to Rep. Roy, the sponsor of the bill admit this provision is currently unworkable.
