NEW: A Republican House member asked ten states to explain how their voter registration systems “verify eligibility, including citizenship, when registering voters.” The demand comes amid a renewed GOP push to send a new, more aggressive version of the SAVE Act to the Senate.
House Republican demands voter roll info from states amid GOP push for suppression law
While the SAVE Act passed the House in April, it's been stalled in the Senate, where it would need the support of Democrats to clear a filibuster.

Russia’s war economy is under strain - and the “civilian economy is collapsing.” Russia’s own economic data shows double digit falls in production. How much of this is linked to Ukraine’s strike campaigns on energy refining infrastructure? @realjakebroe.bsky.social -

How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

Republicans spent the entire hearing accusing Jack Smith of prosecuting Trump for political reasons and falsely claiming he was being directed by Biden and Garland. Ironically, while they were doing that, Trump was telling Bondi on Truth Social that she should prosecute Smith.
