Donald J.Trump demands Republicans pass Save America Act or kill the filibuster

dismissed a housing bill tied to Elizabeth Warren and called on Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster to advance his legislative agenda.

WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump urged Republicans to pass the Save America Act or terminate the Senate filibuster in a Truth Social post on June 24, 2026 at 8:49 AM EST.

Here is the full post (see truthsocial.com): “The Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren centric housing bill, which is of minor importance compared to lower interest rates, and even FISA, pales in comparison to passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. That is what Americans, both Dumocrats, Republicans, and everyone else, care about. Get the bad Republicans to approve it or, better yet, Terminate the Filibuster and approve it, AND EVERYTHING ELSE REPUBLICANS HAVE EVER DREAMED OF. The Dumocrats will do it in hour one, 100%. Republicans will feel very stupid if they don’t do it first. I’ll be watching with tears in my eyes!!! President DJT”

Trump ranked the Save America Act above a housing bill he associated with Elizabeth Warren and above the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. He characterized the housing legislation as “of minor importance” and warned that Republicans who fail to act would “feel very stupid.” Trump predicted Democrats would eliminate the filibuster themselves if given the chance, writing they would “do it in hour one, 100%.”

The filibuster is a Senate procedure that requires 60 votes to advance most legislation, giving the minority party power to block bills. Eliminating it would allow a simple majority of 51 senators to pass laws, a move that leaders of both parties have historically resisted. Trump has called for its removal on multiple occasions when legislation he supports faces procedural hurdles in the Senate (see cbsnews.com).

Trump’s use of the nickname “Pocahontas” for Elizabeth Warren references a longstanding dispute over the senator’s past claims of Native American ancestry. Warren faced criticism for identifying as Native American based on family stories, and more than 200 Cherokee citizens signed a letter asking her to disavow those claims (see pbs.org). Warren released a DNA test in 2018 that indicated a distant Native American ancestor, though the Cherokee Nation rejected DNA testing as a measure of tribal membership (see factcheck.org). Warren has since apologized and stated she understands the difference between ancestry and tribal citizenship.

The Save America Act is a sweeping Republican legislative package that bundles tax cuts, border security provisions, energy policy changes, and other conservative priorities into a single bill. Republican leaders have sought to pass the measure through budget reconciliation, which requires only a simple majority but limits the scope of provisions that can be included (see apnews.com).

Trump posted 37 messages on the topic of domestic policy out of 649 total Truth Social posts over the last 30 days, reflecting sustained attention to legislative battles on Capitol Hill.
