idk exactly how the Washington Post put this together, but if it reflects the actual questions on the new citizenship test, it’s really quite bad.

When did all women get the right to vote?
A. 1919
*B. 1920*
C. 1925
D. 1931
Correct! This question is new on the 2025 test. The 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, was ratified in 1920.
The previous test included a question about women's rights activist Susan B. Anthony.

Why did the United States enter the Persian Gulf War?
A. To defend the U.S. from Iraqi threats
B. To secure oil in Kuwait
*C. To force the Iraqi military from Kuwait*
D. To defeat Saddam Hussein
Correct! Several new questions ask why the U.S. entered wars, including World War I ("because Germany attacked U.S. ships") and the Korean War ("to stop the spread of communism"). This is the only correct answer given for the question about the Persian Gulf War, the most recent conflict that USCIS asks about in this way.

What is Memorial Day?
A. A holiday to honor military history
*B. A holiday to honor soldiers who died in military service*

Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more options—when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?

Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.

They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

Trump has little to insulate him now. Vought is not some temporary White House employee who’s dabbling in the art of sabotaging the government before he returns to his “job” as the world’s richest man.

According to the president himself, he is the Grim Reaper personified. trib.al/mOp5iyM

Russ Vought Is Going to Damage Trump Even More Than Elon Musk Did

Americans, and even many Republicans in Congress, don’t like it when an unelected bureaucrat makes huge cuts to the government.
