S. Capitol on September 10, 2025 in Washington, DC. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, would mandate proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections, a move supporters argue is needed to secure voter rolls while opponents say it risks blocking eligible Americans from casting ballots. Sen. Mike Lee , said Tuesday that it would be essentially impossible to pass the SAVE Act through reconciliation. “It’s hard to imagine how the SAVE America Act could be passed through reconciliation,” Lee wrote on X. “And by “hard” I mean “essentially impossible.” The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act requires proof of U.S. citizenship when individuals register to vote in federal elections. “Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS,” he wrote on TRUTH Social.“It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION,” he said.“The Senate has failed the American people and will not under any circumstances pass the Save America Act, which is why we will have to stick that on FISA,” Luna wrote on X.“Home Improvement” star Zachery Ty Bryan will be serving another 19 months in prison in Oregon after admitting to three probation violations.Investigators in Iowa believe they may have found the person responsible for the 2011 slaying of realtor Ashley Okland.Police believe the dog had been outside for more than 24 hours, exposed to the elements.The 2023 shooting death of a pregnant woman on her way to work in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood is again drawing attention to Washington’s “born alive” rule aKing County prosecutors are seeking to have a teenage suspect charged as an adult in connection with the murders of two high school students.
