  • Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced he will bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor next week for debate and a vote, but he has ruled out changes to Senate rules that could allow passage with a simple majority.
  • The bill, strongly endorsed by President Donald Trump and a strong majority of Americans, requires proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration and photo ID to cast a ballot.
  • House Republicans passed the legislation last month on a near party-line vote, with only one Democrat crossing over in support.
  • Thune insists the goal is to force Democrats onto the record opposing these popular election integrity provisions, even as he acknowledges the bill faces certain defeat under current filibuster rules requiring 60 votes to advance.
  • Trump has made the bill his top priority, threatening to withhold approval on other legislation until it reaches his desk in strong form, and has publicly pressed Thune to show leadership by pushing harder.
  • Critics within the Republican base view Thune's approach as calculated theater: a symbolic vote that lets establishment Republicans claim effort while ensuring the status quo remains protected from real change.
  • Thune has repeatedly stated that Senate Republicans lack the votes to eliminate or bypass the filibuster, whether through a "talking filibuster" or outright rule changes, citing potential long-term consequences.
  • The SAVE America Act addresses concerns over noncitizen voting and election security, issues that have fueled distrust in the system since at least 2020.
  • Observers note a pattern where Republican leaders in the Senate prioritize procedural norms and bipartisan optics over delivering on promises that energize the party's core voters.
  • With midterms approaching in November 2026, failure to advance voter integrity measures could leave Republicans vulnerable to accusations of weak follow-through on a key issue.

  • Thune insists the goal is to force Democrats onto the record opposing these popular election integrity provisions, even as he acknowledges the bill faces certain defeat under current filibuster rules requiring 60 votes to advance.
  • Trump has made the bill his top priority, threatening to withhold approval on other legislation until it reaches his desk in strong form, and has publicly pressed Thune to show leadership by pushing harder.
  • Critics within the Republican base view Thune's approach as calculated theater: a symbolic vote that lets establishment Republicans claim effort while ensuring the status quo remains protected from real change.
  • Thune has repeatedly stated that Senate Republicans lack the votes to eliminate or bypass the filibuster, whether through a "talking filibuster" or outright rule changes, citing potential long-term consequences.
  • The SAVE America Act addresses concerns over noncitizen voting and election security, issues that have fueled distrust in the system since at least 2020.
  • Observers note a pattern where Republican leaders in the Senate prioritize procedural norms and bipartisan optics over delivering on promises that energize the party's core voters.
  • With midterms approaching in November 2026, failure to advance voter integrity measures could leave Republicans vulnerable to accusations of weak follow-through on a key issue.

    The Assembly of Experts announced his selection in a "decisive vote," though the process was marked by significant IRGC pressure and internal dissent among clerical members.

    Mojtaba holds only the mid-level clerical rank of hojjatoleslam — not ayatollah — a legitimacy issue his father resolved by having the law changed; a similar workaround is expected.

    President Trump openly called the selection "unacceptable," warned Mojtaba would "not last long" without U.S. approval, and characterized him as a "lightweight."

    Mojtaba has deep ties to the IRGC dating back to his service in the Iran-Iraq War, and is widely believed to have personally supervised the violent crackdown on Green Movement protesters in 2009.

    A year-long Bloomberg investigation revealed Mojtaba controls a global real estate and financial empire worth hundreds of millions of dollars, structured through shell companies and intermediaries across London, Dubai, and Europe.

    Analysts expect Mojtaba to be more hardline than his father, more reliant on the IRGC, and unlikely to pursue meaningful compromise with the West in the near term.

John Cornyn that critics argue put him at odds with President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.
    • The article lists ten instances where Cornyn allegedly sided with establishment Republicans or Democrats on issues that MAGA voters prioritized.
    • One of the most prominent examples cited is Cornyn’s role in negotiating the 2022 bipartisan gun control package after the Uvalde shooting, which many conservatives opposed.
    • The piece also highlights Cornyn’s support for large foreign aid packages and spending bills that critics say contradicted the fiscal restraint favored by many Trump supporters.
    • Cornyn is accused of backing or defending Senate Republican leadership decisions that MAGA activists view as insufficiently aligned with Trump’s agenda.
    • The article points to moments when Cornyn criticized Trump directly or appeared hesitant to support the former president during key political conflicts.
    • It also notes Cornyn’s positions on immigration and border policy that critics say were weaker than the stricter enforcement approach promoted by Trump.
    • The outlet argues that Cornyn represents the older “establishment” wing of the GOP that MAGA voters increasingly distrust.
    • Supporters of Cornyn counter that his votes reflected pragmatic governance and the realities of legislating in the Senate.

    The move came on the same day Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreed to testify before the committee regarding his own ties to Epstein, after admitting he had lunch with the convicted sex offender in 2012. Chairman Comer has made clear that the Oversight Committee is committed to seeking the full truth — both for Epstein's survivors and for the American public.

    The probe represents a broader congressional push to map the extent of Epstein's powerful network and bring some measure of accountability to those connected to his crimes.

    However, as JD discusses on the latest episode of America First Report, it is deeply frustrating that meaningful consequences for those involved remain unlikely. Yet as he reminds listeners, even when earthly justice falls short, we can rest assured that a higher judgment awaits — and no one ultimately escapes accountability before God.
