This week, Senate Republicans will force votes on the so-called SAVE America Act. It would block millions of service members, seniors, women, and more from voting. I will vote no.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
