It is interesting that the GOP's Voter ID would impede some married women. Women who kept their last name, & single women, will be fine without a passport or enhanced ID because their name matches their birth certificate.
Hmm. Which way are single women & birth-name keepers more likely to vote?

I expect no less of the greedy jerks.
Here’s a former Goldman Sachs executive talking about how “well” they came out of the 2008 crisis thanks to Trump’s pick for Fed Chair. Tell that to all the Americans who lost their jobs and their houses.

There are exactly 11 transgender athletes in the NCAA Varsity system Not a single one of them has been accused of any sort of sexual impropriety. Unlike Ohio's Jim Jordan, Who's had 27 sexual misconducts lawsuits brought against him and is currently highlighted in the Epstein files.

Trump's Stephen Miller and Hitler's Joseph Goebbels are chillingly similar.
Trump’s hate-stoking policy guru may be Jewish — but he still bears a scary resemblance to the Nazi Propaganda Minister in both substance and style.

M.H. never thought as a U.S. citizen he’d be detained by ICE simply for being Somali.
ICE’s racism and ruthless arrest tactics are traumatizing for anyone who has experienced it.

Sometimes I laugh at Trump's e-mails, showing a photo-shop of sad Trump at a mailbox in the snow, sending me '4 letters' because his 'e-mails aren't getting through' (to my dog, btw).
But his agenda is scary-- to make his supporters think liberals are blocking the mail. That he never sent.

Thursday ICE 'staged' at a fast food near my suburban Mpls elementary school. They couldn't get on the school grounds, so when the buses lined up to leave, they did a 'slow drive' caravan past all of the buses, to make a point of letting the children know they were there.
They are sick sadists.

Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.
ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."
