FOUR REPUBLICANS TANK SAVE ACT MEASURES
Sen. John Kennedy tried to save election integrity. But four Republicans stopped him.
Kennedy offered an amendment Thursday that would have instructed the Senate Rules Committee to craft legislation requiring voter ID, ensuring only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections, and limiting early voting — core components of the SAVE America Act.
But it failed 48-50. Why? Four RINO senators joined Democrats to block it.
You can probably already guess the names: Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, and Mitch McConnell.
SENATE BREAKS DEMS’ ICE BLOCKADE
Senate Republicans have found a way around Chuck Schumer’s DHS shutdown.
After a marathon vote-a-rama, the Senate adopted a GOP budget blueprint 50-48 to fund ICE and Border Patrol through budget reconciliation — a move that bypasses Democrats entirely.
“Republicans will have helped ensure that America’s borders are secure and prevented Democrats from defunding these important agencies,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune said.
The resolution now heads to the House.
DOJ RESCHEDULES (SOME) MARIJUANA
The Trump Justice Department just made a historic move on marijuana.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed an order Thursday reclassifying FDA-approved and state-licensed medical marijuana from Schedule I down to Schedule III.
“The Department of Justice is delivering on President Trump’s promise to expand Americans’ access to medical treatment options,” Blanche said.
For now, recreational marijuana remains a Schedule I drug under federal law. However, the DOJ is launching an expedited hearing in June to consider rescheduling marijuana more broadly.
