Senate Republicans now have enough support within their conference to pass Trump-backed voter ID legislation, but a major hurdle remains.

The Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act has secured the backing of 50 Senate Republicans, following a pressure campaign by the White House and a cohort of Senate conservatives over the past several weeks.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has led the charge in the upper chamber, ramping up his efforts last week as the bill moved through the House.

SCHUMER SAYS DEMS WILL FIGHT VOTER ID PUSH ‘TOOTH AND NAIL,’ BALKS AT DHS ROLE IN ELECTIONS

Lee told Fox News Digital that he was “ecstatic” about the progress made in shoring up support for the legislation and hoped the Senate would move as quickly as possible to consider it. 

“I would love to see us turn to it next week, perhaps the day after the State of the Union address,” Lee said. “I think that would be good timing. But I think this needs to get done sooner rather than later.”

That multifaceted campaign — both on social media and behind closed doors in the Senate — proved successful, drawing support from Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and several others.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, became the 50th senator to back the bill. That gives Republicans the internal support they need to advance the legislation procedurally, but only if they turn to the standing, or talking, filibuster.

Before leaving Washington, D.C., for a weeklong break last week, Lee and other supporters, including Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Rick Scott, R-Fla., pitched the voter ID proposal and potential pathways to pass it to colleagues.

“We had some good senators stand up and say, ‘No, we got to fight for this,’” Johnson told Fox News Digital. “I’m with them. We need to fight for this.”

Still, the effort faces heavy resistance from Senate Democrats, who are nearly unified in their opposition.

The only potential outlier is Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who has pushed back against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s, D-N.Y., characterization of the bill as “Jim Crow 2.0” but has not said whether he would ultimately support the SAVE America Act.

Despite that possibility, Schumer and most of his caucus plan to block the legislation.

“We will not let it pass in the Senate,” Schumer told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “We are fighting it tooth and nail.”

Not every Senate Republican is onboard, either. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, has announced she will vote against the measure, while Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., have not signed on as co-sponsors.

One option to bypass Democratic opposition would be nuking the filibuster and its 60-vote threshold — a move some congressional Republicans argue has effectively become a “zombie filibuster,” since legislation can be blocked simply by withholding votes rather than holding the floor.

Despite previous pressure from President Donald Trump to eliminate the filibuster, the move does not have the votes among Republicans to succeed — a point Thune underscored last week.

“There aren’t anywhere close to the votes — not even close — to nuking the filibuster,” Thune said.

That leaves a return to the standing, or talking, filibuster — the precursor to today’s procedural hurdle. Under that approach, Senate Democrats would be required to hold the floor and publicly debate their opposition, as senators did for decades before the modern filibuster became standard practice.

The idea appears to be gaining traction among some Republicans, though critics warn it could effectively paralyze the upper chamber for days, weeks or even months, depending on Democrats’ resolve.

Lee said that many senators he’s spoken with are open to the idea, and that those who were reluctant didn’t believe it wouldn’t work. 

“I understand why people might have questions about a procedure that we’re not familiar with,” Lee said. “It doesn’t mean we don’t have to do it, because we do.”

Meanwhile, Trump has suggested he could take matters into his own hands if Congress cannot pass the SAVE America Act.

In a Truth Social post last week, Trump called the legislation a “CAN’T MISS FOR RE-ELECTION IN THE MIDTERMS, AND BEYOND.”

“This is an issue that must be fought, and must be fought, NOW! If we can’t get it through Congress, there are legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted,” Trump wrote. “I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order.”

A nine-year-old boy has become the first patient to have pioneering leg-lengthening surgery in the UK.

Alfie Phillips, from Northampton, has fibular hemimelia, a rare condition that affects fewer than one in 40,000 births in the UK each year.

It caused his right leg not to develop properly, leaving it about four centimetres shorter than his left. According to specialists, it would have grown to be six centimetres shorter by the time he was 16.

Speaking to the Press Association (PA), Alfie said his schoolmates used to say “I ran a bit different, and I couldn’t skip”, and that by the time he was five, “it started to get a bit annoying”.

“If they ever wanted a conversation, other than my friends, it was always going to be about my condition,” he added.

“When I was obviously a lot younger, I didn’t think it was any different because I grew up with it.”

The operation explained

Doctors were able to extend Alfie’s leg by installing a lengthening nail on the surface of his thigh bone.

This was then slowly pulled apart by a special magnet, used three times a day for a month, with the body creating new bone tissue to fill the gap.

Procedures using lengthening nails – fitted inside the bone – were not previously available to younger children due to the risk of damage.

But before the operation at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, Alfie’s only option for treatment was to have an external frame fixed to his bone from the outside of his limb.

Treatment started in March last year. Almost a year on, Alfie said he’s feeling good and enjoys being taller than his friends.

“I can just tower over them now… I like doing basketball a lot,” he said.

‘That leg difference became a lot more significant’

Laura Ducker, Alfie’s mum, told PA her son was diagnosed with fibular hemimelia within six months being born.

His father first raised concerns when he noticed his son only had three toes on one foot, but Alfie met all his milestones as a baby as expected.

Ms Ducker, who is an NHS midwife, said while “it really didn’t affect him massively when he was little”, as he got older, “that leg difference became a lot more significant”.

There was a risk it could cause problems with Alfie’s hips and joints, she said, and so sought advice from Alder Hey’s consultant orthopaedic surgeon Nick Peterson after hearing about him on a Facebook support group.

‘Unheard of’ recovery

Describing Alfie’s recovery, Mr Peterson told PA his team was left “amazed” by Alfie’s rapid recovery.

“After about seven days, his pain score went down to zero out of 10, which is pretty much unheard of,” he said.

“He didn’t require anything other than the occasional paracetamol after a few days, and that was it. That is extremely unusual.

“So his recovery was remarkably quick and really, really impressive.”

The 13th general elections in Bangladesh were held on February 12, amid political crisis and unstable security situation. This period came when the student-led movement toppled the 15-year-long government of Sheikh Hasina in August 2024. After that there were incidents of attacks on minorities in the country. Hasina’s party Awami League was not allowed to contest in this election, while voter turnout was recorded at 59.44 percent. According to the Bangladesh Election Commission, the BNP won 209 out of 297 seats, while the right-wing Jamaat‑e‑Islami won 68 seats.

Tariq Rehman also visited rivals’ houses

After BNP’s victory, Tariq Rehman also visited the houses of his political rivals and congratulated them. This includes Jamaat‑e‑Islami chief Shafiqur Rehman and National Citizen Party (NCP) convenor Naheed Islam. They had a cordial conversation there too and wished each other well.

Tariq Rehman will be Prime Minister for the first time

This is like becoming Prime Minister for the first time for Tariq Rehman. He will also become the first male Prime Minister of the country since 1991. Tariq Rahman will replace the current interim government chief Muhammad Yunus, during whose tenure relations between Dhaka and New Delhi were strained.

Iran launched live-fire naval exercises in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday in preparation for potential security and military threats in the strategic waterway, according to the country’s state-run IRNA news agency.

The drill, called “Smart Control of the Strait of Hormuz,” was led by the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) under the supervision of IRGC Commander in Chief Maj. Gen. Mohammad Pakpour, according to Iran International.

State media said the exercise was organized to assess the readiness of operational units, review security plans and rehearse scenarios for responding to any security and military threats in the area.

The exercises came within hours of renewed diplomatic efforts starting in Geneva between the U.S. and Iran that are aimed at reviving negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.

“I am in Geneva with real ideas to achieve a fair and equitable deal,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on X on Monday “What is not on the table: submission before threats,” he said.

President Donald Trump has ordered a buildup of U.S. military forces in the Middle East and has threatened to strike Iran if its leadership does not agree to a deal on its nuclear program.

On Friday, Trump also offered an endorsement of regime change in Tehran and said it would be the “best thing that could happen” for Iran.

U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, went on to show U.S. military presence in the region Monday.

In a post on X, it shared images of EA-18G Growlers from Electronic Attack Squadron 133 and F-35C Lightning IIs from Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314 preparing for launch from the flight deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln.

“Operating in international waters in the Middle East, the aircraft carrier conducts around-the-clock flight operations in support of regional security,” the post said.

The Pentagon has been building up what Trump has described as an “armada” in the region.

The USS Abraham Lincoln is present flanked by three warships equipped with Tomahawk missiles and is at the center of a broader U.S. naval buildup in the region.

Meanwhile, Tehran said the second round of talks would be held on Tuesday “with the mediation and good offices of Oman.”

Negotiations restarted in Muscat on Feb. 6, after previous talks collapsed when Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign against Iran in June that sparked a 12-day war and escalated tensions across the region.

On Monday, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said there was “significant and legitimate doubt that the Iranians will ever agree to something that would cause them to lay down any ambitions of nuclear weaponry.”
