## Resource

This week, President Donald Trump declared that the SAVE Act should be congressional Republicans’ “No. 1 priority.” He even said that he would not sign another bill until it is passed. The SAVE Act would be the most restrictive voting law in history. How bad is it? And what can we do to stop it? Meanwhile, the recent feud between Anthropic and the Department of Defense has raised alarms about the military’s use of AI. What should we be worried about? And what reforms could bring accountability? Listen as two Brennan Center experts break down these recent developments, analyze the stakes, and discuss how we should respond. Recorded on March 10, 2026. Keep up with the Brennan Center’s work by subscribing to our weekly newsletter, The Briefing, at https://go.brennancenter.org/briefing.
