Luna’s SAVE Standoff


House lawmakers are back in Washington and going nowhere, thanks to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's rebellion over the SAVE America Act.

House lawmakers returned to Washington today hoping to salvage two productive weeks before campaign season begins in earnest. Whether they succeed depends almost entirely on a handful of ultraconservative Republicans. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is leading a rebellion to block consideration of nearly all legislation until the Senate guarantees passage of the SAVE America Act, the voter ID and proof-of-citizenship bill, a version of which the lower body has already passed. President Trump, as we’ve chronicled, endorsed Luna’s push, but has also signaled that the blockade should stop.
