DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Let the record show: Mike Lee is not a bridge-burner.
He has worked every channel to pass a bill with 75% public support. He has kept relationships intact. He has cooperated with the same institutions that are paid hundreds of millions of dollars to promote election integrity abroad, and asked them only to apply the same standard at home.
There is a hypocrisy in treating voter ID as an obstacle to democracy rather than a feature of it. The National Democratic Institute, the Democratic Party's own international arm, has spent decades and billions helping far less developed countries implement voter ID far stricter than SAVE America Act, all under advancing "democracy."
What Democrats (and Republicans) fund in African countries, they fight in Washington.
Mike Lee has played the institutionalist. He has been patient, procedural, and cooperative. But if the SAVE Act cannot pass a Senate his party controls 53–47, that patience will have been proven pointless...
And the Mike Lee who emerges from that failure will not be the one the Senate been negotiating with.

In case you missed it, here’s a raw from “The Fall of Icarus”
It was captured in monochrome due to the narrow bandpass needed to get atmospheric details on the sun
I can’t describe the feeling the moment I saw this on the screen.
