🗳️ House GOP pushed the Senate to pass voter integrity legislation. 35 House Republicans urged Senate Rules Committee Chairman Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to advance the SAVE Act before the 2026 midterms.

Mandating body cameras for federal agents seems like a no-brainer. It likely wouldn’t change much of what we know about the recent viral incidents involving Good and Pretti, as they were filmed from multiple angles. But it could disincentivize aggression from both agents and agitators. — Ariel

_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

FBI agents executed a search warrant at Fulton County — Georgia's main election facility — last Wednesday, seizing ballots, tabulator tapes, and voter rolls from the 2020 presidential election. Fulton County is home to Georgia’s capital, Atlanta.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was on-site during the search, a highly unusual presence for the nation's top intelligence official, who oversees agencies typically not involved in domestic law enforcement operations. The seizure came after months of legal battles between the Justice Department and Fulton County officials over access to election records.

President Trump alleges that fraudulent ballot handling and counting at the Fulton County election facility helped swing Georgia against him in the 2020 election.

_THE FACTS_

_OUR TAKE _

The FBI’s search of Fulton County’s main election facility marks the most aggressive federal move yet in Trump’s effort to revisit the 2020 election, and the fact that it was carried out under a court-authorized warrant means a judge believed there was at least some credible basis to suspect violations of election law.

But what made the raid especially unusual was Tulsi Gabbard’s presence, whose office is designed to handle foreign threats, not domestic law-enforcement actions. Given her recent friction with Trump after publicly downplaying Iran’s nuclear ambitions and staying quiet on his aggressive actions in Venezuela, she may be trying to gain back some ground by tackling one of the issues most important to him: 2020 election fraud.
