Ryan J. Reilly and Jane C. Timm at NBC News:

High-profile right-wing influencers were briefed on House Speaker Mike Johnson’s voter registration bill well in advance of its announcement in what appears to be a coordinated social media campaign meant to drum up support for the legislation, which is dead on arrival on the Senate. Conservative influencers posted dozens of times before Johnson, R-La., publicly announced the bill alongside former President Donald Trump at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, calling on Congress to pass the bill, which has not yet been filed, and offering policy details that are still not available to the public.

The legislation targets voting by noncitizens, which is already illegal and very rare. Johnson appeared at Mar-a-Lago at a time when his speakership is in a precarious position, with attacks from far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who has a significant social media following. Getting some public support and praise from Trump could give Johnson a bit of protection with the Republican base, as could drumming up support from conservative social media influencers. At 3:50 p.m. ET Friday, Ryan Fournier, the chair of Students for Trump, who boasts a million followers on X, appears to have been the first to have posted the name and details of the bill. Johnson’s news conference was scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. ET Friday, but it began just after 5 p.m. Neither Johnson nor his office would provide specifics about the legislation before Friday's event when they were asked by NBC News. His office confirmed Monday that background information about the bill had been sent in advance to conservative-leaning influencers but did not specify which influencers.

In the hours leading up to Johnson and Trump's news conference, social media posters, including Libs of TikTok, DC_Draino and EndWokeness, promoted the legislation online. They all called the bill “the SAVE Act,” though Johnson did not name it as such. "PASS THE BILL,” DC_Draino (Rogan O'Handley) wrote at 4:22 p.m., claiming the bill “would require blue states to obtain proof of citizenship for voter registration.” On X, EndWokeness wrote that the bill would add penalties for election officials’ registering noncitizens to vote. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, reposted EndWokeness’ post at 4:40 p.m., saying he had authored the bill. A spokesman for Roy said the bill has not yet been filed yet, but Roy posted a screenshot of the first few lines of legislation before Johnson's speech. The bill is dead on arrival, with Democrats controlling the Senate. Johnson said Friday, though, that simply putting the bill to a vote would be "interesting."

"When we put this bill on the floor, you're going to see a record vote by Republicans and Democrats," he said. "They're going to have to go on record. Do you believe that Americans and Americans alone should be the ones who vote in American elections? We're about to find out their answer." It is illegal for noncitizens to vote in state and federal elections, though some municipalities allow noncitizen voting in local elections only.

Chrissy Clark, a conservative influencer who contributes to Turning Point USA, appears to have been one of the people who received early information about the legislation.

[...] Another conservative influencer, Isabella DeLuca, posted about the legislation at 5:07 p.m., the minute when the news conference began. "Speaker Johnson just introduced the SAVE Act, a pivotal measure to fortify our democracy and save our elections," DeLuca wrote on Twitter.

Want more proof the conservative media apparatus controls the GOP’s agenda? Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)’s team briefed right-wing influencers such as Rogan O’Handley (DC_Draino), End Wokeness, and Libs of TikTok on a bill that purports to target noncitizen voting (which is already illegal for federal elections).

S.V. Dáte at HuffPost:

WASHINGTON ― Former President Donald Trump on Monday blamed “wokeness” for the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank rather than the law he signed in 2018 that gutted the Dodd-Frank federal regulations on smaller banks. Trump bragged within days of taking office that he would go after the Dodd-Frank Act, which was signed by President Barack Obama in 2010 after the 2008 financial crisis and which forced banks to be more conservative in investing their depositors’ money. “Dodd-Frank is a disaster. We’re going to be doing a big number on Dodd-Frank,” Trump said on Jan. 30, 2017, as he signed an executive order requiring that agencies eliminate two regulations for each new one they wanted to implement. Sixteen months later, he signed a bill that freed regional banks like SVB from many Dodd-Frank rules. “They shouldn’t be regulated the same way as the large, complex financial institutions,” he said. “As a candidate, I pledged that we would rescue these community banks from Dodd-Frank, the disaster of Dodd-Frank, and now we are keeping that commitment.” Despite this, Trump in recent days has been blaming corporate “wokeness.” On Sunday and Monday, Trump amplified posts claiming that SVB’s policies regarding diversity and environmentalism were behind the bank’s failure. (BuzzFeed, HuffPost’s parent company, banked with SVB.) “The same wokeness that pushed banks to dish out subprime mortgages to unqualified buyers and crashed the economy in 2008 has now rebranded as ESG and DEI and is crashing our financial system again in 2023,” read one post by lawyer and “commie fighter” Rogan O’Handley that Trump shared with his 5 million followers on his social media platform, Truth Social. He was referring to “environmental, social and governance” guides on socially responsible investing and to “diversity, equity and inclusion” considerations in business. Another post, also by O’Handley and also reposted by Trump, said the federal government’s swift response to guarantee all the banks depositors contrasts with its failure to pay residents of East Palestine, Ohio, after a freight train carrying toxic chemicals derailed there. “They’re all left to die. But if you’re big tech? You get every dollar you need in a single weekend,” O’Handley wrote. On Monday, Trump defended the 2018 deregulation law, claiming the banks were getting “eaten alive” by regulations. He said the problem now was the Federal Reserve’s interest rate increases. “Interest rates are too high,” he told reporters traveling with him on a flight to a campaign stop in Iowa, according to CBS News’ political director, Fin Gomez. “Rates are very high. And that’s a big problem.”

Dear serial liar Donald Trump, your 2018 policy that repealed the Dodd-Frank Act led to the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, not "wokeness", DEI, or ESG.

David Edwards at The Raw Story: 

Conservative activist Rogan O'Handley argued over the weekend that the government should provide firearm subsidies so that people can protect themselves from "looting, violence and murder" that he blamed on Black Lives Matter.

O'Handley made the remarks while appearing on OAN, a conservative news channel.

"America owns more guns than 50% of the planet," O'Handley said. "There are more guns than people in this country. God bless the Second Amendment and our Founding Fathers. I am absolutely loving seeing these huge, huge gun numbers."

Conservative activist Rogan O'Handley (aka DC Draino) went on OANN last week to suggest that guns be subsidized in order to protect themselves from Black Lives Matter protesters and other perceived threats to their life.
