Democrats Just Published Their Takeover Plan — and Republicans Had Better Wake Up

Trump’s response to all of this has been consistent, urgent, and completely correct: kill the filibuster now, pass the SAVE America Act, and lock in election integrity requirements before Democrats get the chance to lock in the opposite. Proof of citizenship. Photo ID. The basic, common-sense measures that the overwhelming majority of Americans support and that every functioning democracy on earth requires. Pass it now, on a party-line vote, while Republicans still can — or watch Democrats pass their version of election law the moment they take back the Senate, on a party-line vote, making it structurally impossible for Republicans to ever win again.

This is not a complicated strategic calculation. It is the simplest math in American politics. Republicans have 53 Senate seats right now. They have the majority. They have the presidency. They have the House. They have every tool they need to act. And John Thune cannot find 51 votes.
