@SenMarkKelly Not to mention about half of Americans don’t have a passport. It’s a pain to get one (and it costs at least $130). And if you live in a rural area? Even more difficult.
The SAVE America Act is a great way to throw a giant wrench in our election system.

The SAVE America Act doesn’t “Save” America. And this isn’t about voter ID. This bill requires everyone to re-register to vote in person and your driver’s license, REAL ID, or military ID aren’t even good enough. Imagine all of our seniors who don’t have valid passports and haven’t seen their birth certificates in decades? What about them? How hard will it be for them to register? And how do they get a passport if they can’t find their birth certificates? And what about the cost? If this becomes law, it will disenfranchise many Americans.

The national average price of gasoline in the U.S. has reached $3.90 per gallon, while diesel has climbed to $5.09 per gallon. It now looks like gasoline will hit $4/gal next week and could head toward $4.10/gal and beyond.

$200B would’ve covered 6 years worth of ACA tax credits for our own citizens (yes, the same health care funding they shot down as too expensive)

They’d rather spend money on yet another unjustified war in the Middle East than health care for our own citizens.

Hegseth: As far as the $200 billion. I think that number could move. Obviously, it takes it takes money to kill bad guys.

Remember that 20 million people saw their health care premiums double because $30 billion was too expensive.

HASSAN: If directed by the president to take an action that would break the law, would you follow the law or the president?
MULLIN: The president would never ask me to do that
HASSAN: Well certainly everyday Americans who have served on juries would disagree with that

BREAKING: According to GasBuddy data, the national average price of gasoline- $3.86/gal- is now at its highest level since 2022.

The “SAVE America Act” would hand your private voter data over directly to the federal government.
Weird way to ‘secure’ our elections but a great way to consolidate power.

"Minnesota corn farmers withstood a trade war. The war in Iran is the next cost challenge.
The conflict is increasing the cost of an essential fertilizer. With corn prices already down, it’s another financial headache for farmers." startribune.com/minnesota-fert…

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."
