The debate could go on for days. I'm Carmen Roberts, Fox News. President Trump's pressuring the Senate to pass the Save America Act as members debate the measure during a rare weekend session. The bill would require proof of citizenship and voter IDs and make other changes. Fox's Chad Pergram is on Capitol Hill.

What is the Save America Act and why is it controversial?

Unknown 0:18
President Trump declared that it, quote, should be easy to pass the Save America Act. Now Fox is told that Senate Majority Leader John Thune could try to end debate that needs 68. Well, we haven't made any final decisions about how to conclude this. Republicans believe they can morph Democratic opposition to the bill into an election issue this fall. Democrats accuse Republicans of focusing on the wrong things.
Cory Booker 0:41
I'm ticked off like Americans are. They're saying I'm seeing my costs skyrocket. I'm barely making ends meet. And what is the Senate doing? They're debating some stupid voter suppression bill as opposed to dealing with the war that's driving up my costs.
Carmen Roberts 0:52
That was Democratic Senator Cory Booker. Congress has yet to fund DHS, leading to long security lines at airports.
Madison Scarpino 0:59
And it's all because TSA workers are not getting paid, and many are reporting not being able to pay for basics like gas, rent, and food. So a lot are calling in sick or quitting as they need to find an alternative way to make ends meet. Nearly 400 of them nationwide have quit since the start of this shutdown.

How is the Senate handling the debate over voter ID laws?

Carmen Roberts 1:15
And that is Fox's Madison Scarpino reporting from the Atlanta airport. And Iran fired two intermediate range missiles at a U.S.-U.K. base in Diego Garcia, which is an island in the Indian Ocean.
Unknown 1:32
An Iranian lie has come out in the open with that strike on the island of Diego Garcia. The key here is range. To reach Diego Garcia from the launch pad is 2,500 miles. Now, Iran used intermediate-range ballistic missiles to do that, which can carry some 2,500 miles. Now, prior to that, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arashi said Iran's missile range was limited to 1,250 miles.
Carmen Roberts 1:52

The worst flooding in 20 years engulfs parts of Hawaii, prompting go now evacuation orders as a 120-year-old dam is in danger of collapsing.
Adam Klotz 2:29
Certainly a tough situation out there in Oahu. Rain totals just in the last 24 hours getting anywhere from close to 10 inches up to a foot of total rain. And remember, if you look back over the last two weeks or so, there between the 10th and the 16th, the area saw anywhere from 25 up to 50 inches of rain. So that ground is absolutely saturated. The last 24 hours worth of rain, that obviously just makes the situation a whole lot worse. So some of the worst flooding areas now in Oahu are on the North Shore, where we've seen major flooding reports. That is where the rain has come down heaviest. Unfortunately, this is not over yet. There are still plenty of showers around the islands.
Carmen Roberts 3:05
