CW: USPol / US politics
So six Democratic congresscritters crossed the aisle to pass the latest defence spending bill - not that unusual, given their swing districts and being up for election - but they did so with the "SAVE" act attached to it.
Apparently, they have all the self-preservation instinct of the mythical #lemmings from Mutual of Omaha's Wild Fabrication. Because the entire point of the #SAVE act is to disenfranchise as many Democratic-leaning voters as possible. This isn't speculation; it's easy to read in the measures that it calls for, but more than that, #Trump has explicitly described it that way over the last few months.
The #Democrats frequently do not need the #GOP to ratf*ck them [1]; as here, they're quite capable of doing it to themselves.
Everyone who cares about preserving #US democracy, such as it is, needs to yell at their #senators to ensure this monstrosity doesn't pass in the Senate. There's been lots of talk of it not having the votes there, but that was said about other things that (eventually) got passed as well.
[1] Don't blame me for the language. A US president brought the term into wide use.

CNN – What Matters – November 10, 2025
Editor’s Note: Below is a re-formatted post from a CNN Newsletter. It will appear online soon. The newsletter is sent first, then it is published online in a later cycle. I’ve posted it here, because of my comments. This 8-member “deal” on the side is a huge mistake. Read more below. –DrWeb

CNN What Matters
by Zachary B. Wolf: Democrats seethe over shutdown deal.
They might be celebrating in a yearThe likely end to the longest-ever government shutdown has Democrats turning on each other in searing anger.
The prevailing opinion appears to be frustration that eight senators freelanced a deal with Republicans.
While it does not guarantee the extension of expiring enhanced subsidies for Obamacare health insurance plans, it does guarantee there will be a Senate vote on that subject.
Sen. Tim Kaine, who helped finalize the deal, defended it on CNN Monday. Kaine noted that the White House had pledged to rehire federal workers fired during the lapse in government funding and to bar further reductions in force at least until January 30.
That’s not good enough for many Democrats who were feeling powerful after victories in mostly blue-state elections last week. They wanted to hold out for more guarantees from the White House, even as the nation’s air travel system started to buckle under the strain of air traffic controllers not being paid and people who rely on the government for assistance buying food went without.
There’s no guarantee that House Speaker Mike Johnson will allow a House vote on extending the enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies, but Kaine argued that if senators pass it with bipartisan support and Johnson ignores it, the GOP will pay a political price.
“Their midterm election next year would look a lot worse even than the shellacking they got last week in Virginia and elsewhere,” Kaine said.
The expiring enhanced subsidies, according to analysis by KFF, will be felt more in states that voted for Trump in 2024, and could result in millions of people opting not to have health insurance at all.
This shutdown, assuming it ends and is not repeated in January, won’t be top of mind for voters in midterm elections next year, but it’s still worth taking a look at what happens at the ballot box after a shutdown.DrWeb’s Comment…
“While it does not guarantee the extension of expiring enhanced subsidies for Obamacare health insurance plans, it does guarantee there will be a Senate vote on that subject.” –article quote
I have highlighted in bold a quote from the article. It is embarassing to post the truth for these eight renegades. They got scammed, including Catherine Cortez Masto, one of my Senators I used to support in Nevada.
To believe that quote, is to believe or trust Trump. I don’t.
These 8 should have known better. I don’t believe or trust the Trump Senate. I don’t.
It won’t vote on the subject, or the votes will vote to remove Obamacare and/or the subsidies, surprise surprise.
All the damn signs point to Trump erasing Obamacare (ego thing to do), and replacing it –after many years of asking GOP for any national health plan, they will dump something out and call it National Health Care by Trump.
Watch, wait, Trust me. They are screwed, these 8, we are screwed by the failure to support the Democratic Party (outliers not welcomed). All those closed days –accomplished NOTHING. Because of these 8 fools. –DrWeb

This article has some great charts & graphs, showing the breakdown in early voters.
TODAY by NOON, checkins (including early votes) has BLOWN AWAY recent mayoral races, 1.2M votes total!
We will likely see totals which will compare w/ the record-breaking races of 1965, '69: 2.6M, 2.46M votes (81%!).
Early voters younger than 44 were a huge surprise this time...

#SAVEAct Could Stop Millions of #Women From Voting. Here’s What You Need to
Know
Bill would make it harder for women, people of color, young voters, and other marginalized groups to register to #vote. It would have a direct impact on anyone whose #legalname does not match their #birthcertificate or #passport, such as 79% of heterosexual married women.
Data show that SAVE Act would only #disenfranchise eligible American #voters, and do nothing to prevent illegal voting.

Harris is seeing a surge of #support from #Black #women #voters, galvanized in part by her work on #healthcare #issues such as #maternalmortality, #reproductiverights, and #guncontrol.
Their #enthusiasm may be #key for #Democratic #turnout at the #polls in critical #battlegroundstates.

State and election officials from across the country issued a ⭐️warning Wednesday that ongoing concerns with the country's mail system could #disenfranchise #voters.
#Mail-in #voting has become more popular since the pandemic but officials have persistently warned that the U.S. Postal Service has struggled with #delivery #failures.
The latest warning from the National Association of Secretaries of State and the National Association of State Election Directors comes as a number of states are set to
👉begin early votingthis month.🔥A host of problems with the mail delivery system have been evident over the past year, the two groups wrote in a letter to U.S. Postmaster General #Louis #DeJoy Wednesday.
These include receiving mailed ballots that had been postmarked on time arrive after the deadline to be counted
and instances in which ballots that were correctly addressed were returned to voters as undeliverable."We have not seen improvement or concerted efforts to remediate our concerns," despite repeated outreach efforts to USPS, the groups wrote.
"We implore you to take immediate and tangible corrective action ... failure to do so will risk limiting voter participation and trust in the election process," they said.
While mail-in voting is likely to be less prevalent this year than it was in 2020, both parties have embraced encouraging voters to cast their ballots early via mail.
Trump spent years disparaging early voting as "corrupt," earlier this year he and several GOP groups embraced mail-in voting.Democrats, on the other hand, welcomed vote-by-mail efforts in 2020 and now enjoy a large mail-in voting advantage in swing states

#VicePresident #KamalaHarris and #Runningmate #TimWalz talk #LGBTQ+ #rights at first rally in #Philadelphia
One #mom from the #suburbs waited with her #daughter, who is #transgender. This year will be the first time the #daughter is #eligible to #vote. Although both #voters were planning to vote for the #reelection of #President #JoeBiden, they prefer seeing Harris at the top of the ticket. And they’re even more excited to vote for a #trans-#friendly #veep in #TimWalz.

@deadtom @georgetakei For 20+ years, the #Koch Brothers & other ultra #conservative donors promoted/funded a unified system of #gerrymandering by the #GOP across the country in order to #disenfranchise poor/POC #voters & dilute the blue votes. Plus #purges of voter rolls as in #Georgia. Dems are FINALLY suing to demand fair maps, but it’s like chipping at a mountain w/a teaspoon. Blue voters are out & vocal. They’re chipping away at the mountain but it takes time to undo the damage.
