I'm very encouraged the speaker is sending it—I assume that's a result of his meeting with Trump. This is an overwhelmingly popular and necessary bill. If I were a Republican looking at polling, I'd want to give my members something to campaign on. Johnson has so far been unwilling to challenge Trump, but as Trump's poll numbers drop, Johnson is starting to separate his agenda. The fact that he's sending it suggests he's looking out for his caucus. That's good for the House and the country, but also a warning sign that we have a president who is increasingly paranoid and losing his own caucus.

You heard about the screaming in the Senate hearings this week. He's going to continue behaving in unpredictable ways that are difficult for the legislative branch to manage.

The Save America Act is a voter disenfranchisement bill. If they were committed to ensuring every qualified American can vote with an ID, they'd staple that to giving every American a federal ID. Most Americans don't have passports; most married women changed their name and don't have a document tied to it. This is an attempt to disenfranchise groups that historically don't vote Republican. I'm glad the Senate is holding firm that democracy is more important than short-term politics. Legally, the president can't unilaterally change voting rules—the Constitution gives that to states. But he will likely make it harder for certain people to vote, as has always happened in our history.

There are communities with chronically longer wait times at polls. Those tools will be abused as they have in the past. Those of us elected through a democratic process have an obligation to defend and expand it, not shrink it.

I don't know why that's a question for the states. States set rules for local elections, but federal elections are the federal government's obligation. Federal citizenship documents can only be provided by the federal government. Our bill uses post offices to give every American a federal ID with federal funding. Suggesting the states should fix this is abdicating our responsibility as leaders.

I haven't reviewed the entire bill. There are a few positive things, but we have to ask why rural America is hurting—it's because of tariff policy that decimated soybean exports in Illinois, and huge Medicaid cuts. This is a small amount of sugar to offset a tremendous amount of pain from the 'big ugly bill.' The supplemental is dominated by funding for a war the president didn't seek congressional approval for and didn't provide a rationale for. I still can't tell you the purpose of going to Iran. Asking us to replace money spent illegally is problematic, especially when many funding categories are classified. Am I a hell-no? Not precisely, but I haven't seen this as a serious piece of legislation.

The alleged settlement talk doesn't meet any of Trump's initial stated objectives. We haven't had regime change or eliminated their nuclear program.

We passed legislation to raise the minimum wage to $15 in the House twice; the Senate never took it up. I'm delighted Sen. Murphy is talking about this. The voting record of many Democrats shows we're willing to do it—$15 plus inflation adjustments. But let's see if the Senate can actually pass it. Separately, the reason we have an affordability crisis is a foreign policy driving up gas prices needlessly and a tariff policy raising the cost of imported goods. Let's fix those root causes first. If you're driving a car with the emergency brake on, first take off the brake, then hit the gas.
