Donald Trump says "stupidity always brings LOSING & DEATH" urging Thune to pass SAVE America Act

President Donald Trump is urging Senate Majority Leader John Thune to secure passage of the SAVE America Act before Congress begins its August recess, according to reports. In a social media post, Trump told Thune not to let the chamber adjourn without acting on the bill and renewed his demand that Republicans eliminate the Senate filibuster. The legislation, which would mandate proof of citizenship and voter ID for federal elections while limiting mail voting, already cleared the House but remains stalled in the Senate. Republicans hold 53 seats, short of the 60 votes typically needed to end a filibuster, and Thune has said he cannot currently reach even 50. Trump’s comments included a warning about the stakes of failing to act. The conflict underscores a central Republican priority ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
