We have been surpassed: AI written output exceeded human written output in 2025

If we don’t pass SAVE America, Democrats win in November
If we pass SAVE America, we have a chance
Failure is not an option

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If republicans in the senate fail to pass the SAVE America Act, Democrats will take control.

@PeteHegseth You don’t work for cable news any longer, sparky. Stay in your lane and get back to playing Call of Duty.

@BrendanCarrFCC You can be assured that your attempts to curtail the 1st amendment will be met with swift reprisal. The mere brandishing of this threat is unacceptable and the backlash of your careless words deserves more than a ratio. Resign. Now.

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.
The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.
And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.
The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves.
It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.
When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen.
Time for change!

@BasedMikeLee Given the cynical nature of this legislation… maybe you ghouls sitting on the sidelines for a while might be for the best. But thanks for saying the quiet part out loud.
Signed,

Republicans will lose power—likely for a long time—if we don’t get SAVE America passed
This shouldn’t be hard
It is, but failure cannot be an option

Senate GOP, this is your sign to start doing your job and stop subverting the will of the people. Pass the SAVE America Act.

@Lov_zs @Fatal_Mishap @PhilMccoxwell @allenanalysis Ok. I don't think the sky is blue. Enjoy your day.
English
@ijones @Fatal_Mishap @PhilMccoxwell @allenanalysis Yeah and apparently dogs can vote too. You can register without any ID in CA. I don’t think those drivers licenses are stopping anyone.
English
This exchange just happened on the Senate floor.
Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.”
Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.”
Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?”
Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?”
Silence.
The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote.
50% of Americans don’t have a passport.
The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters.
The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans.
This is not voter protection.
This is voter selection.
And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything.
That’s the Senate in 2026.

@Lov_zs @Fatal_Mishap @PhilMccoxwell @allenanalysis The checkbox to affirm citizenship in CA is not available to people cannot verify legal residency. So "anyone" can lie is not accurate.
English
@ijones @Fatal_Mishap @PhilMccoxwell @allenanalysis The save act requires states to have systems in place for people who cannot show documentation. Ie if someone doesn’t show documents, CA must show they have documents on record proving citizenship. Instead of trusting a checkbox anyone can lie on
English
@Lov_zs @Fatal_Mishap @PhilMccoxwell @allenanalysis P.S. People with AB60 driver's licenses (unable to prove legal residence in the US) are not eligible to check-box register to vote. The affadavit is not available in that instance. And if you are here illegally you have to get an AB60 license.
English
@Lov_zs @Fatal_Mishap @PhilMccoxwell @allenanalysis Again. The millions of legit US citizen who will not be able to vote just to get these ad hoc instances is never going to be worth. We don't make public policy based on anecdotes. It'll never be 100% and that is OK.
English
@Lov_zs @Fatal_Mishap @PhilMccoxwell @allenanalysis Nobody said it is nonexistent. It exists. Time after time the point is made that the effort to solve it 100% (vs. today's 99.999%) results in a worse outcome because would result in far more legitimate voters being disenfranchised. The affadavit seems to work for CA.
English
@Fatal_Mishap @PhilMccoxwell @ijones @allenanalysis I did read them, they didn’t actually prove that election fraud didn’t or couldn’t be taking place
English
@Lov_zs @Fatal_Mishap @PhilMccoxwell @allenanalysis Also, yes, I live in California and I know that this is the law. Is California a state that needs to reform its laws if it already has this?
English
@Lov_zs @Fatal_Mishap @PhilMccoxwell @allenanalysis Yup and I said as much. Did you read what I wrote? Been looking into it for years independently. Voter fraud is a mirage, but keep at it.
English
@PhilMccoxwell @Fatal_Mishap @Lov_zs @allenanalysis The lack of proof always seems to get in the way of this narrative. You can say whatever you want, everyone has an opinion. But eventually a court will want to see the receipts. And more often than not, an election being "rigged" is a fact-free feeling experienced by sore losers.
English
I have to say one the of the most misleading comments on here are the “according to studies”….. “a source close to the matter” , “think tanks claim”. that’s like saying according to Cecil Davis in Little Rock….believes in Santa clause. Election fraud is absolutely rampant. Seriously. There is tons of counties where votes exceed registered voters, massing ballot dumps at 3am after polls close, illegal election certification, and last but the worst….. mail in voting. Democrats stole 2020 with every one of these tactics. Joe Biden, a geriatric fool, Obama stooge received 16 million more votes than the lefts Walk on Water Booorack BlowBama. It blows me away half the country beleives that bullshit claim there is almost no voter fraud.
English
@Lov_zs @Fatal_Mishap @PhilMccoxwell @allenanalysis Yeah, I read the article and hyperlinks allowed me to read the studies that were accurately portrayed by the article. Any other questions?
English
@Fatal_Mishap @PhilMccoxwell @ijones @allenanalysis That is a news article. Have you read the actual studies that are listed?
English
Everyone knows this means absolutely nothing unless the standing filibuster is invoked. The American people are sick of performative politics, they want REAL RESULTS! @LeaderJohnThune it’s time to DELIVER for the people!

Next week, I will bring the SAVE America Act to the floor. Senate Democrats will be forced to defend their outrageous positions on these issues and explain to the American people why common sense and the Democrat Party have parted ways.
