One small set for voter integrity, one giant step for …… the Senate. This is a no brainer. Any Republican opposed is working for the enemy.

The House has passed the SAVE America Act in a 218–213 vote, requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections and establishing a nationwide voter ID requirement. Now the fight moves to the Senate.

Supporters say the principle is simple: American citizens should decide American elections. Speaker Mike Johnson called the measure straightforward and overdue, while Rep. Chip Roy urged the Senate to take it up immediately.

U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-NY, claims that requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections is voter suppression.

Even when shown polls that many Democrats also support voter ID in elections nationwide, Jeffries doubled down on talking points.

“We know that states are the ones empowered to conduct elections. And every state should be allowed to decide the best way to proceed to ensure that there’s a free and fair election in New York.” “What Republicans are trying to do is engage in clear and blatant voter suppression.”

In a notable shift in Nevada’s electoral landscape, the Republican Party has achieved a slim lead in active voter registrations over Democrats, marking the first lead for the party since 2007.

As of February 2026, Republicans hold 596,356 active registrations, compared to Democrats’ 593,740, giving the GOP a lead of 2,616 voters. Nonpartisan voters, however, remain the largest group, with 799,056 registrations, accounting for approximately 37.5 percent of the total 2,128,758 active voters in the state.

Former Vice President Mike Pence really wants you to think he is a principled man. He really goes on and on about how he, seemingly alone, stands for those bedrock conservative values that made this country great. His foundation, Advancing American Freedom, even boasts “The Conservative Movement Lives Here.”

He’s a constitutional conservative to his core. Until he isn’t.

Let’s take election reform. The SAVE Act, the main provision of which is so overwhelmingly popular with normal Americans that it’s only natural that the denizens of the Washington swamp oppose it with near-religious fervor, has stalled in the Senate. The bill would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in U.S. elections.

 

Donald Trump’s Plan for Elections Will Set Democrats’ Hair on Fire– townhall.com

President Donald Trump recently called on Republicans to “nationalize” elections to avoid widespread voter fraud.

As it stands currently, each state manages elections — including for federal candidates. Trump seeks to have the federal government take over voting procedures to prevent cheating. “The state acts as an agent of the federal government in elections,” Trump said while addressing reporters at the White House on Tuesday. “I don’t understand why the federal government doesn’t handle them anyway.”

This wasn’t the first time Trump called for nationalizing elections. During a Monday appearance on the Dan Bongino Show, he said, “the Republicans should declare, ‘We want to take charge. We should oversee voting in at least 15 areas.’ The Republicans should nationalize the election process.”

SCOTUS Helps Dems in 2026 with California Gerrymandering Approval

The U.S. Supreme Court has officially approved the racist gerrymandered California map created by the DNC, with not one conservative judge dissenting. The ruling means anything goes as far as gerrymandering is concerned, and other states are sure to follow, both blue and red. SCOTUS offered no comment in their approval.

SCOTUS Allows California’s Gerrymandered Map – PJ Media

The U.S. Supreme Court might have just helped Democrats defeat a Republican majority for the 2026 midterm election.

California Republicans filed to block the blatant gerrymandering in their state last month, but the Supreme Court — despite supposedly having a conservative majority that took an oath to uphold the Constitution — sided with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Inferno) Wednesday, according to The Epoch Times.

Back in October, Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) slammed the redrawn congressional map, saying: “California is already #1 in the nation for poverty, unemployment, and homelessness. So now Newsom has set his sights on a new distinction: #1 in gerrymandering. Princeton’s Gerrymander Project called the Prop. 50 map one of the two worst gerrymanders in the last 50 years.”

The most shocking part is that not even the staunchest conservatives on the court, Justices Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas, reportedly dissented. The Epoch Times reported that the court did not explain why it ruled as it did and why there was no dissension.

Every so often there’s a piece of content in The New York Times or a similar publication that’s meant to create suspicion but without saying exactly why, usually for the purpose of politicizing something mundane. The story this week about National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard being on site during an FBI operation in Atlanta is one of those pieces of content, but in this case, the reason for the manufactured suspicion is obvious.

The Times on Monday wrote that it was “unusual” for Gabbard to appear at an FBI field office following the agency’s seizure of 2020 ballots from an election center in the ever-so-seedy Fulton County. You know, the place where election officials just admitted to improperly certifying hundreds of thousands of ballots in violation of the election rules. “[H]er continued presence has raised eyebrows given that her role overseeing the nation’s intelligence agencies does not include on-site involvement in criminal investigative work,” the article, reported by a grand total of three people, said.

Top 2028 Democrat Contender’s KKK-Charged Origin Story Debunked– trendingpoliticsnews.com

The dramatic family story Maryland Gov. Wes Moore often tells on the campaign trail has helped power his rise as a national Democratic figure. But according to reporting by Andrew Kerr of the Washington Free Beacon, the tale does not hold up against historical records.

Moore, widely viewed as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, frequently recounts how his grandfather fled South Carolina as a child in the 1920s after the Ku Klux Klan targeted the family. Moore says his great-grandfather, a Black minister, enraged the Klan with sermons condemning racism, forcing the family to escape Charleston in the dead of night to avoid a lynching before resettling in Jamaica.

It is a gripping narrative Moore has repeated for years, including during his successful 2022 run for governor. He first told the story in a 2014 memoir and has since framed it as a defining example of American injustice and perseverance.

I’ve got bad news for conservative readers: The Democrats have every meaningful advantage for the 2026 midterms. According to the betting markets, there’s nearly an 80% probability the Dems will win control of the House of Representatives.

And honestly? That number is too low. (I’m guessing there’s a percentage of conservative gamblers who’re betting with their hearts, not their heads.)

It’ll probably hit the mid-90s by Sept.

Which means, the GOP would be wise to expedite its legislation ASAP and then pull up the ladder well before the end of the term, because once the Dems control the House, the gig is up. That’s the end of President Donald Trump’s legislative legacy.

And his final two years as president will be spent dodging subpoenas, battling with congressional committees, and being impeached (probably more than once). Get ready for two long years of government shutdowns and grandstanding gridlock.

The Dems aren’t even being coy about what they’re planning. This NBC News story ran yesterday evening:

Facing the threat of being held in contempt of Congress, Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed Tuesday to testify before the House Oversight Committee about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

DNC Texas Wins Reduces Effective Majority to One

pgnewser February 3, 2026 0

Christian Menefee’s unexpected special U.S. House election victory in a GOP-majority Texas district has taken the GOP majority in the House down to 218-214. This means that if just ONE GOP representative fails to vote the party line, this produces a 216-216 tie.

The circumstances of the win for the DNC in Texas have yet to be analyzed, but initial evidence suggests voter turnout on the GOP side led to the unexpected win. If so, the seat is sure to flip back to the GOP in a few months; if not, this is a bellwether worth noting.

House GOP majority shrinks to just one vote as Johnson swears in new House Democrat  Fox News

The House Republican majority just got reduced to a perilously slim one-vote margin thanks to a Democrat’s victory in Texas over the weekend.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., swore in newly minted Rep. Christian Menefee, D-Texas, on Monday evening, bringing the overall House of Representatives margin to 218 Republicans and 214 Democrats.

That means if a bill gets no Democratic support and the House is in full attendance, losing more than one GOP vote will result in a 216-216 tie — meaning it would fail to pass.

Trump Pushes for National GOP Midterm Convention

President Donald Trump is hoping to use RNC power to rally for a GOP midterm win by creating a National Midterm Convention event. Bylaws have recently been changed to allow for this event to happen. The target for the event is late summer to early fall of this year. So far, Las Vegas and Dallas have been mentioned as possibilities.

Trump, RNC Plan Unprecedented ‘Midterm Convention’ Ahead Of Crucial Elections – trendingpoliticsnews.com

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has approved plans for a historic “midterm convention” ahead of this year’s congressional elections. The rule change comes as President Donald Trump has vowed to be actively involved on the campaign trail, especially in swing districts and tight congressional races.

RNC members approved the rule change during the committee’s winter meeting in California. The RNC unanimously amended its bylaws, specifically Rule 13, to allow Chairman Joe Gruters to convene a “special ceremonial convention” outside of presidential election cycles.

Previously, party rules limited conventions to every four years for nominating presidential candidates. The new provision requires at least 60 days’ notice for the event, which is expected to largely mirror presidential conventions with a focus on rallies, speeches and addresses from candidates, as well as senior GOP leaders and President Trump.

Senate To Bypass ‘Zombie’ Filibuster For Vote On Popular Voter ID Bill– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has indicated plans to bring the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to the Senate floor for a vote, potentially using a procedural maneuver to avoid the traditional 60-vote threshold required to overcome a filibuster.

The announcement comes after a number of House Republicans, including Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and Tim Burchett (R-TN), indicated that they would move to block any legislation from being sent to the Senate until a floor vote on the SAVE Act was secured. Lawmakers had attempted to attach an amendment for the SAVE Act onto ongoing government funding bills, which is expected to end the ongoing government shutdown by funding all government departments with the exception of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Elon Musk is once again opening his checkbook to influence American politics, pouring millions into Republican efforts to hold Congress in the 2026 midterm elections, according to new campaign finance disclosures reported by both Newsmax and Politico, despite flirting with the idea of creating a third party last year. 

Politico reported that Musk “poured $10 million into two major Republican super PACs at the end of last year,” splitting the donations evenly between the Congressional Leadership Fund and the Senate Leadership Fund, “two groups that aim to help the GOP keep control of Congress this year.” The Tesla and SpaceX CEO gave $5 million to each group in December, marking his second round of contributions to both super PACs during the current election cycle.

“It was Musk’s second round of donations to both groups this cycle, having previously given in June,” Politico noted, adding that those earlier donations came “amid his feud with Trump.”

In a dramatic appearance on The Dan Bongino Show on Monday, President Donald Trump renewed claims about the 2020 presidential election and signaled that “something” is “about to come out” regarding election wrongdoing in Fulton County, Georgia. Trump’s latest comments come after federal authorities conducted a court-approved search at a Fulton County election facility, seizing ballots and election records.

On the live broadcast, Trump reiterated his long-standing assertions that the 2020 election was stolen. He told listeners that some states were “so crooked” in vote counting that results were manipulated, including in states he claims to have won. Trump said that evidence from the Fulton County search will soon reveal “interesting things,” and urged Republicans to consider “nationalizing the voting.”

A new poll suggests that the coalition that returned President Donald Trump to the White House after a four-year hiatus may be eroding.

These numbers come as Republicans seek to defend their narrow congressional majorities in November’s midterm elections, when replicating Trump’s 2024 support levels from low-propensity voters was always going to be a challenge.

Trump has lost ground with nonwhite and younger voters, according to a New York Times-Siena College poll released on Thursday. His gains with these voters compared to 2020 helped him win the popular vote and defeat former Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris is considering another run for president in 2028, though Trump is subject to term limits.
