Wednesday, June 24, 2026

President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell this morning, canceling plans to sign a bipartisan landmark housing affordability bill until he gets action on his controversial elections overhaul legislation. He's expected to press senators at a GOP lunch today to pass the "SAVE America Act" by any means necessary.

Here's a fun fact: Trump and an average circus peanut's combined IQ is the same exact number as that of the average circus peanut.

Which is astronomically higher than the people who voted for Trump

This is nothing but a meaningless stunt by Trump. He pulled the same stunt with the DHS funding bill several months back. His signature is not required. This bill goes into effect on July 4 even if he does not sign it.

He could veto it but but he'd have to convince something like 20 GOP senators to change their vote in order for his veto to withstand challenge.
The only other way to stop it would be for both chambers to be in formal recess so the bill would be subject to pocket veto. The Senate has long had a formal recess scheduled from June 29 to July but the House does not.
This bill had overwhelming bipartisan support in both chambers so it is already unlikely that House Republicans will now attempt to call a formal recess but even if Trump could successfully pressure them to do so, the Senate has to approve a formal House recess and they would not do that.

He thinks he has the cards when in reality he's bluffing while holding pair of 2's.

Just like everything else in his life.

... President Donald Trump's plan to implement citizenship requirements for registering to vote was ruled unconstitutional on Wednesday, as the president once again pressured lawmakers to pass a bill on voter ID.

U.S. District Judge Denise Casper, an Obama appointee, said that the U.S. Constitution does not give Trump or any president specific powers over how elections are administered, despite arguments from the current administration over alleged election fraud.

Casper struck down key aspects of one of Trump's executive orders from the early days of his second term, including a requirement to prove citizenship when registering to vote, after arguments from multiple state attorneys general, including California, Arizona, and Massachusetts, that Trump did not have the power to make changes to elections. ...
