The U.S. Senate adjourned on Saturday for a five-week recess without passing President Donald Trump's SAVE America Act. The fate of the legislation, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote, remains uncertain.The president may, however, have an ace up his sleeve — and the very possibility that he might play it has liberals panicking.'Preempt the motherf**ker.'Real America's Voice host Wayne Allyn Root pressed Trump in an interview Tuesday about the possibility of using emergency executive measures to temporarily achieve what might otherwise be accomplished by passing the SAVE America Act."It's so hard to get the Senate to do anything. Now they're on recess. They don't get anything done," said Root. "If they never get the SAVE America Act done, you have the right to declare a national security emergency for elections.""The Supreme Court ruled in 1983 under Reagan ... — INS versus Chadha — that if you declare a national security emergency as the president of the United States, they can't challenge it. It can only be overturned by a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress," continued the conservative host.In INS v. Chadha, the high court found that the House of Representatives' veto of an executive action — in that case, the suspension of a foreign national's deportation — by way of passing a resolution constituted a legislative action and therefore required passage in both houses of Congress as well as ratification by the president.RELATED: Democrats go into FULL PANIC MODE after Trump exposes election interference from China and the deep state "The Supreme Court’s Chadha decision invalidated 'legislative veto' provisions in many laws that maintained congressional oversight over the executive branch’s exercise of delegated powers," John Chappell wrote in an analysis for Responsible Statecraft. "Congress could delegate powers to the president, but reasserting control in specific instances would require a vote in both chambers and a presidential signature. Because the president would presumably veto congressional efforts to undo their decisions, Congress needs two-thirds of each chamber to override a presidential veto."Root told Trump, "So if you do this in the next month, we will get photo ID, proof of citizenship, and a limit to mail-in ballots, and you don't even need the Senate's vote."The president hinted that it was within the realm of possibilities."Let me just say this: Stranger things have happened, OK," said Trump. "I'll leave it at that."Although Trump did not say whether he would pursue this option, liberals nevertheless began to panic.CNN reporter Aaron Blake characterized the president's refusal to rule out the option as "the latest warning sign that Trump could try to mess with the election not just by baselessly claiming voter fraud and challenging the results afterward — as he did in 2020, leading to a violent riot at the U.S. Capitol — but by trying to unilaterally take control before votes are cast."Steve Benen, an anti-MAGA producer for "The Rachel Maddow Show," wrote, "The president could have responded by saying, 'No, I won’t do any such thing, because I care too much about preserving our democracy and system of government.' But he didn’t. The Republican instead suggested that he saw this as an actual possibility."Failed presidential candidate Joe Walsh also got agitated, writing, "Here’s the deal Democrats, the time to stop Trump from declaring some bulls**t national security emergency is NOW. The time to stop him from f**king with/cancelling/federalizing the midterms is BEFORE he does it. Preempt the motherf**ker.""Illegal and unconstitutional. Republicans have no interest in democracy when democracy gets in their way," tweeted the Democrats on the House Committee on Homeland Security. "They know what's coming in November and they are terrified."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

WNBA Coach Stephanie White was the source of a lot of mixed messaging on Tuesday night.With comments about love and hate and some frustrated banging on the table, the coach seemed furious about how fans have reacted to the way she runs her team, the Indiana Fever.'Love will win.'Before the Fever's game against the New York Liberty, the Fever head coach appeared for a pregame press conference, where she addressed backlash she has received over a foul on one of her stars, Sophie Cunningham.Cunningham was clotheslined on Saturday night by Chicago Sky player DiJonai Carrington, who was subsequently ejected.Calls for White to be fired have been amplified since then due to widespread claims that she hasn't been standing up for her players — including league star Caitlin Clark. BlazeTV host of "Fearless" Jason Whitlock posted to X Tuesday that White "Has. To. Be. Fired. Immediately." The coach has seemingly reached a boiling point.On Tuesday, White was focused on calling out "an online community that's trying to create narratives that simply don't exist."The 49-year-old soon launched into platitudes and claims that "love" is at the forefront of her choices."The reality is with me, I will always lead with love. I will always lead with grace. I will always lead with humility. And I will always lead with integrity," the coach said. White went on, raising her voice and getting visibly frustrated, soon banging on the table in front of her. This was followed by a direct quote from former first lady Michelle Obama from the 2016 Democratic National Convention."We are united. We are connected. We will not be divided. Every day these women put their ass on the line. Every day. When they go low, we go high. Love will win, grace will win, humility will win, and kindness will win. I stand by them," the coach concluded."I will always stand by them. Everybody else can go to hell."RELATED: Black WNBA player blames 'white privilege' after getting ejected for flagrant foul on Sophie Cunningham White did address accusations that she seemingly wasn't concerned with her own player after the hard foul, explaining that she "didn't see the play in real time" and went "straight to a press conference" afterward.After saying she prides herself on her relationships with her players, White told reporters that player safety is a "top priority." The coach called the foul "egregious" and said she takes "personally" the idea that she does not support her players."I ride with them 10 toes down all the time. All the time," White stated.Her words haven't convinced everyone who pays attention to the league. Even Barstool Sports owner and "legit Fever fan" Dave Portnoy has grown tired of the team's excuses."This [didn't] really feel like an apology. More her yelling at us for trying to divide the locker room or something," Portnoy wrote on X.

Immediately. https://t.co/U3mF3upasJ— Jason Whitlock (@jasonwhitlock) August 11, 2026Portnoy said it felt like Fever fans were being blamed for Carrington's wild postgame online comments, which were simply the words "WHITE PRIVILEGE" directed at the Fever's account."That’s what is dividing people," Portnoy continued. "Fever fans and players get blamed for everything under the sun. We're not trying to divide anybody, but [it's] Fever vs the world and we want a coach who feels and acts that way."White said she wished there were more opportunities to discuss actual basketball, but she herself cut the press conference short after just two minutes. Instead, she gave ample time to call out what she believes to be "hate," "fearmongering," and "divisiveness" that is trying to "hijack" the WNBA.Like Blaze News?

A 44-year-old male allegedly fractured a female DoorDash driver's skull with a baseball bat earlier this month in Jacksonville, North Carolina — after she honked at him at a green light when he wouldn't move his vehicle in front of her.Around 1:20 a.m. Aug. 1, 34-year-old Christen Phillips was making a delivery when she stopped at the intersection of Western Boulevard and Gum Branch Road, WITN-TV reported.'It's a miracle that I woke up.'Phillips told deputies with the Onslow County Sheriff's Office that the car in front of her did not move when the light turned green, so she honked her horn, the station said.Deputies told WITN the driver moved out of Phillips' way — then began following her.After Phillips dropped off food in the Shamrock Drive area, deputies told the station the man she honked at hit her in the head with a baseball bat as she walked back to her car.Deputies said Stanley Shockley is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury, WITN reported.Phillips was able to get to a hospital soon after the attack and suffered severe injuries, the station said.RELATED: Violent punks caught on video ganging up on, brutally beating elderly man by Baltimore 7-Eleven — while wielding rifle, sword Phillips told WCTI-TV she was knocked unconscious during the attack."When the guy hit me in the head, and I was knocked out, I believe he thought I was dead, left me for dead," Phillips noted to WCTI. "It's a miracle that I woke up."Phillips added to WCTI she suffered multiple skull fractures and a fractured cheekbone and underwent brain surgery.Investigators on Monday searched the home on Shamrock Drive where Shockley lives, WITN reported, adding that investigators said the search helped them connect Shockley to Phillips’ assault.During a court appearance Tuesday morning, a prosecutor accused Shockley of wiping his Ring camera footage clean, WITN said, adding that Shockley lives six doors down from where the crime occurred.A judge ordered Shockley to be held without bond, WITN noted.Sheriff Chris Thomas said tips from the public and the work of detectives helped investigators make the arrest Monday, WCTI reported."We appreciate the number of tips and leads the public provided us," Thomas said, according to WCTI. "Our detectives follow every lead, carefully work through the evidence, and continue to pursue answers even when the investigation presents challenges."Like Blaze News?

Grimes County, Texas, is about to become ground zero for Elon Musk's biggest swing yet. It's another crushing loss for California, which, once upon a time, might well have played host to the gargantuan project. To no one's surprise, it won't come cheap. Musk's companies are starting with an initial investment of $16.8 billion, with a goal of $55 billion and the possibility of the figure rising to nearly $120 billion if extra phases are completed, Reuters reported.The ambitious goal is to create a one-stop shop to address the needs of SpaceX, Tesla, and the U.S. government, all under one roof.But that's not all. 'Thousands of high-paying jobs in the Lone Star State.'The announcement of the facility, dubbed Terafab, comes after President Trump signed an executive order in late June that called for increased focus on and production in quantum computing.White House Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy Michael Kratsios said there needed to be an increase in the domestic supply chain for products like superconducting circuits and semiconductors.Elon Musk is following up the Trump administration's call to ramp up chip production with Terafab, which will sprawl out to one-sixth the size of Manhattan. That's roughly 10 times the size of Tesla's Gigafactory Texas, which itself was launched as another move to evacuate California's rough corporate environment. Put another way, Terafab will span the size of about 60 NFL stadiums. The complex will make, package, and test advanced memory chips that will reportedly be used as the backbone of Tesla's Optimus robots and driverless Cybercabs, in addition to being the bedrock for SpaceX data centers.RELATED: The rockets are still blowing up. So why is Elon laughing on his SpaceX earnings call? RONALDO SCHEMIDT/AFP/Getty Images Musk has been clear on the subject, framing the factory as a must-have for chip production.Along with the 100-million-square-foot facility will be approximately 3,000 jobs and an unknown number of power plants. "The Terafab is bringing cutting-edge manufacturing to America, creating thousands of high-paying jobs in the Lone Star State, and enabling us to produce AI chips at scale for use on Earth and in space," Musk said.Notably, Musk is making a big bet on using gas power plants for the venture, not solar energy.This may come as a surprise to some, as Musk has made significant investments in solar energy dating back to 2016, when he purchased energy company SolarCity for $2.6 billion in an all-stock deal. As TechCrunch reported, SpaceX's data center development team has indicated it will be bringing its own power to the Texas plant, while also including "very large battery arrays."RELATED: Trump writes new rules to stop rogue AI — but they're classified Reginald Mathalone/NurPhoto/Getty Images As if that's not enough, Musk will also be directly competing with the largest semiconductor makers in the world, such as TSMC, which is racing ahead with a huge expansion of its Arizona facility. Terafab will do this by implementing free-electron laser technology. The "intense, powerful beams of laser light" are better for making the most advanced, smallest-feature chips, because they can produce extremely powerful light while remaining tunable. This allows for faster chip production."FEL FTW," Musk wrote on X in response to rumors."We either build the Terafab," said Musk, "or we don't have the chips, and we need the chips, so we build the Terafab."Like Blaze News?
