Nice MAGA talking points, @golden.house.gov
My 89 yr old mother follows the news, & she has voted in every election. For decades, she used to volunteer for long hours at her polling place. She’s not going to go buy a $130. passport solely to vote, so she will not be able to vote again. 😡 #polltax
Maine's voting culture is the best in the nation. I am confident that under the SAVE Act, our state can both ensure that only citizens can cast ballots and that no one faces unnecessary barriers to registering to vote.

In theory this nightmare could end today:
How to destroy the educational system in the US and assure the best students will look elsewhere for advanced degrees.

How to make things worse for Americans and our reliable neighbor while proving to the world we are not to be relied on. We shouldn’t just blame Trump and his congressional enablers but also our countrymen.
Time to stand up and not be complicit!
Canada PM Mark Carney says old relationship with US 'is over'

“Concerned” is not strong enough
Sorry for your mom’s passing.
Hope you are doing well.
Let’s hope it grows quickly
I certainly do NOT base my opinion of the current administration on the stock market. I am ashamed, disgusted, with our current government because of its many recent actions and its abandonment of our allies.
I admit a part of me is glad to see the stock market decline even though we have personally lost a substantial amount. But I also realize the market will go up and down and will probably eventually recover.

It appears roles are being reversed. England is no longer ruled be a king and in the USA the president is trying to be a monarch.

I am curious when we will begin seeing massive demonstrations? Clearly they need to occur in districts and states that have spineless representatives and senators.

Blumenthal: "It would be one thing if we had some disinterested, impartial business person -- highly successful -- looking at ways to make our govt more efficient and save money. That's not what's happening here. Elon Musk is doing a power grab & information heist, the biggest in American history"

I have faith in the court system. What I DON’T have faith in is the current administration’s respect for any court order. A judgment is only worth the paper it is printed on if there is no one willing to enforce it. Not to mention all the damage that can be done before the order issues.
What do people think of 1440? I haven’t subscribed yet but would like some comments from those who have subscribed

I wrestled in college (not my senior year). Removing big money removed from college sports would help more football and basketball athletes be serious students. But it’s not going to happen.
After reading the article sports could be a legitimate major or minor. I certainly appreciate the benefits of athletics.
I would add that school always came easy to me. Later in life I recognized in HS wrestling was really the only thing I seriously studied and is where I learned to study.
My first reaction of offering a major in sports is negative but after I read the article I will reevaluate. I would hope it would be more than being an excellent athlete and would be available to non-athletes as well.

Fresh from the mass pardons of cop-beating criminals, the GOP announces a new “investigation” of Jan. 6.

Hard to see what they can add to the 800-page report of the bipartisan Jan. 6 Cmte, but they can procure the star witness who has so far refused to testify: Donald Trump.
