The SAVE America Act would create one of the largest waves of voter disenfranchisement in American history. I will vote against it as many times as it takes to defeat it.
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Russian military officers who attacked Ukrainian electrical plants. It’s a war crime. Now, President Trump is threatening to do the same in Iran. It’s time for this war to end.
President Trump is demanding we pass the SAVE America Act, which would eliminate universal mail-in voting. He’s said, “Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating.” But he just voted by mail for an election in Florida. Apparently, he trusts it enough for himself, just not for you.

Trump just voted by a method he calls 'mail-in cheating'
The president's decision to vote by mail comes as he pushes a sweeping bill to reform  balloting nationwide, including restrictions on mail-in voting.

For over a year, the Trump Administration has been trying and failing to deport legal resident Mahmoud Khalil for protesting at Columbia University I’m demanding answers from this Administration about their legal campaign against him.

President Trump has taken away health care from millions. His tariffs have raised grocery costs. The price of gas is on the rise. And now, he's asking Congress for $200 billion to fight a reckless war that puts our troops at risk. I will not support it.
A $60,000 signing bonus. $20,000 for horse rentals. $3,700 for hair and makeup. These are just some of the spending @blumenthal.senate.gov and I have uncovered from Kristi Noem's taxpayer-funded ad campaign. I’m releasing new details about this outrageous misuse of government funds.
President Trump's Department of Justice would rather slap Live Nation on the wrist for inflating ticket prices than fight in court to deliver justice for Americans. I'm joining @klobuchar.senate.gov's bill so future settlements focus on supporting you and small businesses, not monopolies.
This is ridiculous. Mohsen is in this country legally and is being persecuted because he peacefully protested against the war in Gaza. It’s a complete waste of resources by the Trump Administration and a stain on our democracy.
The federal government wants to resume deportation proceedings against Mohsen Mahdawi, a Vermont resident and pro-Palestinian activist who was held in prison for two weeks last year.
President Trump fired the experts who were supposed to help keep gas prices low in this crisis. He didn’t think about the consequences and now you’re paying the price.

The SAVE America Act would take away the right to vote for folks who have already gone through so much emotional, financial, and even physical pain. It's a bill that would fundamentally harm to our democracy. We must defeat it.
Then, even once you get your birth certificate or passport, the SAVE America Act requires that you physically go in person to register to vote, even if your state used to allow registration online or by mail.
To register, you'd need to request a new birth certificate. Most states charge a cost to do this (a poll tax) and there's a wait to receive the certificate (three weeks in Texas, for example). A passport is $130, plus a $35 facility acceptance fee—not to mention more fees if you need it expedited.
Under the SAVE America Act, you can't vote using a normal driver’s license. If your passport and your birth certificate were in your home when it was destroyed, you’re facing an entirely new barrier to vote.
In recent years, flooding, wildfires, and tornadoes have devastated communities in places like North Carolina, California, Texas, and my state of Vermont. Millions of families have had their homes partially or completely destroyed, homes where they keep their most important documents.
One aspect of the "SAVE America Act" that is deeply harmful and hasn't received enough attention is the fact that it makes it much harder for people impacted by natural disasters to vote.
