1. Senate Floor Fight Begins TODAY on SAVE America Act – Voter Integrity Showdown Intensifies
As of this morning (March 17, 2026), the U.S. Senate has kicked off debate on the SAVE America Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act), the Trump-backed bill championed by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX).
Key provisions include:
- Requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (e.g., passport, birth certificate) to register for federal elections
- Mandating photo ID to vote in federal races
- Regular voter roll cleanups with DHS verification to remove non-citizens
- Criminal penalties for officials who register ineligible voters
- Stricter rules around mail-in ballots (some versions push further restrictions)
What’s happening right now:
- Sen. Mike Lee declared the Senate will stay on the bill “until it passes,” rejecting “zombie filibusters” and pushing for a talking filibuster where opponents must actively hold the floor.
- Republicans are under heavy pressure from President Trump, who has called it his top priority and threatened to block other legislation until it reaches his desk.
- House conservatives (including Rep. Anna Paulina Luna) are threatening to attach it to must-pass bills like FISA reauthorization if the Senate stalls.
- Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, have unified in opposition, calling it “despicable” and vowing to filibuster as long as needed. They argue it could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters who lack easy access to citizenship documents (citing studies showing 21+ million citizens without ready proof).
Public pulse on X today:
- Massive calls from MAGA accounts to “PASS THE SAVE ACT NOW” and flood Senate offices.
- Supporters highlight recent reports of non-citizen registrations (e.g., isolated cases in Utah audits, claims of illegals voting via loopholes).
- Critics label it voter suppression / a “poll tax,” with some tying it to broader GOP priorities like no men in women’s sports or restrictions on certain medical procedures.
The procedural vote could come as early as today or tomorrow, but full passage remains an uphill battle—Republicans need 60 votes to break a filibuster (or force major concessions). Expect marathon sessions, high drama, and nonstop pressure on @LeaderJohnThune and the GOP conference.
This is the election integrity fight of 2026.
2. Trump signs EO to have VP Vance tackle fraud
President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, chaired by Vice President JD Vance.
The initiative aims to investigate and combat widespread fraud, waste, and abuse in federal benefit programs nationwide, building on prior efforts focused on states like Minnesota and expanding scrutiny to others including California, New York, Illinois, Maine, and Colorado. During the Oval Office signing ceremony, Trump highlighted the “incredible theft” from taxpayers and emphasized returning potentially billions in misallocated funds to restore accountability and support a balanced budget. Recent government estimates, including a HHS watchdog report identifying over $19 billion in wasteful or fraudulent payments in health care programs during part of the administration’s term, underscore the scale of the issue, though broader federal improper payments and fraud losses are reported in the hundreds of billions annually by sources like the GAO. This task force represents a key step in the administration’s push to ensure benefits reach only eligible Americans and halt exploitation of federal programs.
3. Another Iranian leader taken out.. Ali Larijani is gone..
Breaking Update: Reports claim Israeli forces have eliminated Ali Larijani, a top Iranian security official.
Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and a key power broker often described as Iran’s de facto leader following the earlier death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in an overnight targeted Israeli airstrike. This comes amid escalating US-Israel operations against Iranian leadership and military sites in the ongoing conflict.
