President Donald Trump’s SAVE Act, his voter ID bill that critics say could dramatically suppress voter turnout, could benefit Republicans electorally far more “than has previously been understood,” two academic researchers claimed Sunday after analyzing a comprehensive postelection survey.

“What we find, looking state by state, is that the bill may significantly advantage Republicans in a few key ones,” reads an op-ed written by researchers Ian Ayres, a professor at Yale Law School, and Jacob Slaughter, a pre-doctoral fellow at the Tobin Center for Economic Policy, published in The Washington Post on Sunday.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's damning slip-up during his Congressional testimony last week revealed just how little President Donald Trump's war in Iran has accomplished, according to a former federal prosecutor.

Glenn Kirschner, a former Department of Justice prosecutor, argued during a new episode of his "Justice Matters" podcast that Hegseth accidentally admitted something important during an exchange with Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA). Hegseth seemed confused as to whether Iran's nuclear facilities had been "completely obliterated" during a strike on them last year, as he claimed during the hearing, or whether the country still had nuclear capabilities that warranted another strike.

The Supreme Court's most recent opinion is a sign that things are "going to get worse," according to one election expert.

Marc Elias, a voting rights attorney, argued during a new episode of the "Democracy Docket" podcast that the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais effectively "gutted" what remained of the Voting Rights Act. The decision struck down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibited states from racially gerrymandering their election maps. The court's new requirements, according to Elias, are nearly impossible to meet.

The Republican Party of Utah has been vying to defeat Justice Diana Hagen in the state's judicial retention election this fall, but the recent actions of a long-time GOP operative may have undercut those efforts, according to a new report.

The National Review reported on Saturday that Utah's Republican Gov. Spencer Cox has been campaigning to unseat Hagen, whom he appointed to the Utah Supreme Court in 2022, after the court ruled against Utah's GOP-controlled legislature in several cases and criticized its actions. The report includes a quote Cox gave to local news outlet Deseret News that reads: "If people don’t like decisions that are coming out of our Supreme Court ... the appropriate way to deal with that is to vote against those judges in a retention election.”

One of the main methods of obtaining abortion medication for those living in states with bans is now blocked nationwide, after a federal appeals court decision issued Friday afternoon.

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a U.S. Food and Drug Administration rule from 2023 that allowed mifepristone, one of two drugs used to terminate a pregnancy before 10 weeks and to treat miscarriages, to be dispensed without an in-person visit with a health provider.

Political analysts and observers brutally mocked President Donald Trump on Saturday after his latest attack on Democrats immediately blew up in his face.

Trump raged at Democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and former Attorney General Eric Holder in a new Truth Social post for committing allegedly "treasonous" activity by trying to stop his attempt to overhaul the U.S. election system. In the post, Trump called the Democrats "human garbage" and suggested, without evidence, that the party was full of "highly dishonest" people. His statements came just days after the White House called on Democrats to tone down their rhetoric after the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

President Donald Trump raged at Democrats, whom he described as "human garbage," who are fighting against his election scheme.

Last week, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced that former Attorney General Eric Holder was joining a Democratic task force that will identify "threats" to the upcoming midterm elections. The task force was formed at a time when Trump was trying to ram through his SAVE America Act, which sought to end mail-in voting in most cases and place new documentary requirements for voter registration.

President Donald Trump is itching to fire one particular "deeply unpopular" cabinet official, but doing so could spell the end of his administration, according to one of the president's biographers.

Journalist Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, argued during a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head," a podcast he co-hosts with Joanna Coles of The Daily Beast, that Trump wants to fire Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. because of his anti-vaccine policies, which Wolff said are "deeply unpopular everywhere." However, firing Kennedy may prove to be too much for Trump to handle, as he is closely aligned with another MAGA heavyweight who is ready to take Trump's base from him.
