Save us from the SAVE America Act

Rather than address the cratering economy, undertake their constitutional responsibilities to end a reckless and illegal war, hold Donald Trump accountable for his financial corruption and pedophile racket cover-up, and/or reform rogue, widely loathed immigration shock troops, Republicans at the behest of Trump (who also insisted on the re-redistricting scheme that has backfired spectacularly), are debating the inappropriately-named SAVE America Act.

The same crowd that deplored the notion of modifying the filibuster when Democrats wanted to pass civil rights legislation, now is pushing to do away with it to achieve the most massive disenfranchisement effort since the end of Reconstruction. (Not coincidentally, the modern counterpart is also rooted in the South and championed by White Christian nationalists aimed at securing white supremacy.)
