PRESS Act
The Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying (PRESS) Act establishes a federal shield law to protect journalists from being forced to reveal confidential sources. It would prevent federal agencies from compelling reporters to disclose the identity of sources in most circumstances, with exceptions for imminent threats to national security. The bill also restricts the government's ability to obtain journalists' communications records, including phone and email data, through warrants or subpoenas.
SAVE Act
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act would require individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. States would be required to verify citizenship using government databases, and non-citizens found on voter rolls would be removed. The bill provides a process for voters who cannot immediately prove citizenship to cast provisional ballots. Critics argue it could disenfranchise eligible voters who lack documentation, while supporters say it strengthens election integrity.
