Trump posts verbal slip urging 'full and deep throated SAVE AMERICA ACT'; administration pressures hospitals for medical records

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social urging Senate Majority Leader John Thune to pass a 'full and deep throated SAVE AMERICA ACT,' an apparent verbal slip mixing 'full-throated' with a sexual innuendo or Watergate reference. The SAVE Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and specific photo ID, potentially disenfranchising married women, Native Americans, and name-changers, while restricting mail-in voting. Thune says he lacks votes to pass the bill, as Republicans remain divided over a $10 billion election reform package. Separately, the Trump administration is pressuring hospitals to turn over personally identifiable medical records to the Consumer Product Safety Commission via contractor Konza Health, raising privacy and legal concerns from health law experts.
