It's amazing how - at every turn - her love of power and getting re-elected beats her love of country and democracy.

Fingers crossed that enough Republicans would vote against ending the filibuster, but I expect that ENORMOUS pressure will be put on Thune to whip his conference into nuking the filibuster.

The felon is hellbent on doing everything in his power to end free and fair elections in the United States. To that end, I have no doubt the regime will pull out all the stops in their efforts to get the new version of the SAVE act passed in the Senate.

We must not underestimate the regime's determination on this.

As long as our elections are capable of measuring the true will of the American people (even imperfectly), we can thwart their effort reshape the U.S. into the mold of other illiberal democracies.

They know this.

and is merely the GOP parroting the 2020 election claims of DJT. Susan Collins voting for the SAVE Act is just another tool of "White Supremacy" movement in America and is wrong.
