To resolve any confusion: Invoking the talking filibuster does not require any change to any Senate rule—just the use of existing rules & procedures that often go unused (see the video) We don’t have to do it on every bill, but we must do it here—to pass the SAVE... show more

Enforcing the Talking Filibuster isn’t “nuking” the filibuster It involves making senators speak—not sleep—to filibuster Consistent with Senate rules It can be hard work, but sometimes that’s necessary—and passing the SAVE America Act is worth the effort Share if you agree

The SAVE America Act NEEDS TO BE PASSED. Trump just announced that it was put in a $350 billion budget reconciliation bill, Recon 3.0. We can argue about the military funding (I think Trump can and must rebuild our military to be as cutting edge as possible), but the Save America Act is a MUST. Susan Collins just flipped, so Republicans have 50 votes. PASS IT. Get rid of the zombie filibuster, which isn't even a law. It’s just a Senate “rule.” WE HAVE THE VOTES. Call your Senators and tell them to pass the Save America Act NOW.

We can beat Democrats, pass the SAVE America Act, and we don’t have to change a single Senate rule. All it takes is willpower.

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee announces the next move to pass the SAVE America Act is for Leader Thune to invoke the STANDING FILIBUSTER — *existing* Senate rules that can let us pass it with 50+! votes! We have enough votes to proceed with Susan Collins. TIME FOR THE REAL FIGHT! "We now need to convince Senate Republicans to ditch the Zombie Filibuster & enforce the Talking Filibuster on this bill!” 🇺🇸🇺🇸

The SAVE America Act would make it (1) easy to vote, and (2) hard to cheat There is no good reason *not* to pass it If Democrat senators want to filibuster the SAVE America Act, we should make them work for it We shouldn’t make filibustering it too easy Share if you agree

What’s next now that we have enough votes to pass the motion to proceed to the House-passed SAVE America Act? In a nutshell, we now need to convince Senate Republicans to ditch the Zombie Filibuster & enforce the Talking Filibuster on this bill!

🚨 GOP SENATORS ARE PUSHING TO NUKE THE FILIBUSTER and use JD VANCE to pass legislation To pass the SAVE America Act, Sen. Rick Scott just demanded the Senate GOP and Leader Thune get rid of the 60-vote filibuster and PASS IT 🔥 "We have to BLOW UP the filibuster! The filibuster was never supposed to stop a bill. It was supposed to stop debate." "The Democrats are using it to stop this bill. We need to blow up the filibuster and pass this with 50 Republican votes!" Think of it: only needing 50 votes and reliable JD. That means we can lose 3 of: Mitch McConnell, Thom Tillis, Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski

HALEY STEVENS: The filibuster must go. And we should use the filibuster to not allow the big ugly bill to pass. MODERATOR: Wait, you said you would get rid of the filibuster, but you also want to use it. Which one is it?

Rep. Roy: "We can pass the SAVE America Act. We will do that in the House chamber next week. We will have citizenship, we will have Voter ID, we will send it to the Senate. And if the Senate does its job, if Senate Republicans put this on the floor, then we can force action, and force Democrats to stand up on the Senate floor and oppose the will of over three quarters of the American people. I want to see them try. I think if we do it, we'll win, and I think we'll save this Republic, and we'll save America."

If we, as Republicans in Congress, don’t do our part, we can’t assume our Republican base will show up in November; ThePersistence is right! If we pass the SAVE America Act, our base will show up To do that, we have to enforce the talking filibuster in the Senate

To my colleagues in the Senate, deliver what the American people sent you here to do. Stay in Washington, force a talking filibuster, and pass the SAVE America Act. Quit hiding behind archaic rules. Use the tools at your disposal to secure our elections.

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee just demanded the Senate GOP NUKE the filibuster if we don't enforce the talking filibuster — go for gold, and PASS SAVE AMERICA Or we might LOSE the midterms. "We have exactly two options. We can either one start enforcing our rules as they're written and require filibustering senators to speak and exhaust them and stay on a bill that is critical to our agenda until it passes..." "...or if we're not willing to do that because that involves hard work, we have to NUKE THE FILUBUSTER, NOW!" "I would strongly prefer the first. I think it's better to do it with the rules that we've got because the rules that we've got actually ensure and protect robust debate." "But what, we can't have is this hybrid? We can't try to walk a middle ground between those two saying yeah, we're gonna stick with the filibuster with the 60 vote cloture standard and then not do the work to get to cloture? "That is a problem. So we've got a choice to make — if we don't make one of those two choices, use the talking filibuster or nuke the filibuster, we're gonna be in BIG trouble in November."

Thank you, Rick Scott, for the work you’re doing to pass the SAVE America Act. It’s time to bring it to the Senate floor for debate. Any Senators opposed must tell the American people why they are against proof of citizenship + voter ID.
