President Donald Trump has been trying to get the SAVE America Act passed for months. The bill would require not just ID, but proof of citizenship to vote — effectively disenfranchising Americans who don’t happen to have their passport or birth certificate handy. Which is… millions of Americans. So what does Trump’s determination to get this bill passed mean for November? To find out, we spoke with Marc Elias, founder of Democracy Docket. And in headlines: we finally hear what’s in the memorandum of understanding with Iran, one Georgia Republican spends $100 million to beat his Trump-backed opponent, and the World Cup’s underdogs are looking good.

  • I didn't want that.

  • And who knows what would have happened.

  • During a speech at the G7 summit in France today, Trump pondered hypotheticals,
