The summary of HR7109 per Congress.gov is as follows:
This bill requires any questionnaire used in the decennial census to include a checkbox or other similar option for respondents to indicate whether the respondent and each household member is a U.S. citizen.
The Department of Commerce must make public the number of citizens and noncitizens in each state.
The bill also requires that the statement sent by the President to Congress indicating the number of persons in each state (related to the reapportionment of U.S. Representatives) excludes noncitizens.
Reckon the GOPe is starting to realize they'll lose their spot at the trough if they don't clamp down on the invasion.

Isn’t the Senate led by the Dems?
Warning: Language.
This may be difficult to hear, but it needs to be said.
Many are missing the bigger picture.
It's not just about potential mail-in ballot issues; there are concerns about the integrity of our voting process, including the influence of illegal votes in key states. Republicans need to be proactive and build their infrastructure to combat this, especially in swing states.
Regarding Trump’s impact, his popularity is soaring. Some criticize him for not achieving enough, but in a system many believe is rigged, expecting miracles is unrealistic. Trump stands as a defiant figure against the establishment, and that's a powerful stance. He has shown resilience in the face of legal challenges and continues to fight on, earning respect for his determination. He’s a unique leader for our times.
From my perspective in politics, Trump has shifted from being seen as elitist to embodying populism. This transformation, shared by figures like RFK Jr., transcends party lines. His legal battles have resonated with many, including Black and Hispanic communities, who now see him as more relatable and less privileged. The left's missteps have inadvertently bolstered his support and fueled a slow but growing conservative shift. Trump has become a symbol of resistance and may be remembered as a martyr for his cause.
On demographics, America isn't changing overnight. Legal immigrants have established strong identities here. However, white Christians have weakened in their opposition to left-wing ideologies, and instead weakened their indentities. Many hope for a savior like Trump instead of engaging in local politics. Churches have gotten much more "moderate." As another example, people in our local party want change but are unwilling to take leadership roles. They complain about problems but avoid solutions, failing to align with others who share their concerns, just because of those others' identities being different from theirs. I think it's great to want to preserve your own identity but if you are just screaming and complaining about it, and avoiding those with solutions that align with that preservation, then that inaction is causing self-destruction. This isn't unlike the conservatives at the Federal level, but rather just a microcosm of their decline.
So here's the hard truth: Wake up, speak out, and actively preserve your culture. Take real ownership instead of just complaining online. Get involved in your community, organize, and take action. No one is coming to save you unless you start by saving yourself.

I am listening to a great podcast and they are breaking down the low voter turnout in the primaries. One example is where a MAGA candidate lost to a GOP RINO in WV, when the spending was very close in numbers, with extremely lower voter turnout. And we are seeing this across the country, low voter turnout, establishment GOP candidates beating "MAGA outsiders" in the primaries, etc. In WV they said the turnout was only 29% of registered voters.
The theory that post-populism is being floated on the podcast. That nothing is going to bring people out, they have lost faith in the system and don't even care to go vote for anyone. What comes next is anyone's guess. It will be very interesting to see the voter turnout for the 2024 election and if they even break 40%. It is a great discussion to listen to and theorize on why voting turnout is so low and why even "outsiders" are no longer driving attention.

That's because Trump wasn't on the ticket.
Trump gets massive down ballot turnout.
Yea, they mentioned that. How it wasn't the talking points that is driving people to vote for Trump, but the cult of personality. Exactly why that is, it is unknown, they just had a theory about it being post populism, meaning they no longer trust populist candidates to follow through and have an apathy towards voting.
So, Trump will not be hurt by it at all, he should win with ease, but there is something much bigger coming into play down the road and we are starting to see the signs in this election cycle.
Never use a primary election to judge turnout. Mid term elections can have upwards of 80%+ IF there is a strong down ballot candidate, for example for governor.
Presidential elections can be even higher if there is contention. That's why you've seen high turnout in the last few cycles.
The problem isn't the turnout itself. It's the value of that turnout. With ballot pickups and mail ins, people voting are being harvested rather than voting on their own. That is the worst thing that has happened to our voting system.
