"Let's make it easy to vote and hard to cheat." @BasedMikeLee
Florida has proven that voter ID doesn't cause a decrease in turnout — just like requiring an ID for all-you-can-eat pasta doesn't stop people from showing up.
Voting is your right as a citizen of this nation, and it needs to be protected.

Mike Lee slams lawmakers for refusing to pass the SAVE America Act after a report found 30,000 noncitizens were "mistakenly" registered to vote in states across the country since 2000.
The Utah senator says the current safeguards rely too heavily on the "honor system," adding, "it should not be any easier for someone to get away with voter fraud at a polling location on voting day than it is to cheat Olive Garden through its never-ending pasta pass. And yet, that's exactly where we are today."

Wearable tech is the new frontier of American consumer technology, but regulatory policies are missing the mark.
JMI's @EdwardLonge has a great new piece highlighting how a recent California policy is obsessing over the wrong part of this frontier technology.

On this day, 25 years ago, 2,977 innocent lives were lost in the September 11th attacks.
May we never forget them and the horrible actions that changed our nation forever.

Americans are voting with their feet against Big Labor.
From 2020 to 2025, lightly unionized states gained 3.5 million Americans, while heavily unionized states lost nearly 3.9 million.
Workers are moving where jobs are growing, and it is not in union-dominated states.

"Thanks to such policies, private-school and home-school families in Florida don’t have to pay twice for education—in the form of tuition for their kids and taxes for others’ kids—the way New York families do."
Bill Mattox of @JmsMadisonInst says it perfectly.
