Yes: the 43-50% of eligible voters with passports are probably fine. And that’s just not enough for a functioning representative democracy.

That is its own problem, for sure. But it’s all the more reason not to make it harder.

Yes—but most don’t note citizenship status, so it still isn’t compliant with what the SAVE Act would require, other than in a handful of states.

Have your birth certificate and a license with an unmatching married name? Not enough. This isn’t about voter ID; it’s about creating roadblocks between eligible voters and the ballot box, all to give a deeply unpopular party a chance for power over and despite the people. (2/2)

Fact check: Can you use REAL ID to register to vote under GOP bill? The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, which has passed the U.S. House, would require in-person proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Most states require ID to vote. All require it to register. But under the SAVE act, that’s not enough. Have a driver’s license from the state in which you’re voting? Not enough. Have a Real ID? Only enough in six states. (1/2)

Ohio State names provost as new president after predecessor's abrupt resignation Ohio State has acted swiftly to move past the abrupt resignation of the university’s president, elevating its chief academic officer into the role.

We’ll see how this goes, but given Ohio State’s abundant institutional issues, I do worry that foregoing a public search process to name an insider as the next president is at the very least bad optics, if not wildly, grossly irresponsible.

WHAT WE'VE BEEN DRAGGED INTO :

Israeli Knesset member Tzvi Succot:

"Destroy their villages. Conquer their territory. Annex it for Israel."

They are not even pretending anymore, openly calling for land grab, ethnic cleansing, expansion, while Trump and his media pretend this is about "security."

It’s not a new perspective; it’s a rebranding, powered by all the dark money a willing puppet could ever want.

How Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign for Ohio governor returned him to the 'real world' Gone is the anti-woke firebrand who challenged Donald Trump for president in 2024. Here is a Republican calling for consensus — and calling out racism and bigotry in the GOP.

Oh, so now he's calling out racism in the GOP. 🙄This piece of shyt ran one of the most racist campaigns in 2024. His entire platform was anti-Black.

Don't be fooled, Ohio.

The whole conference sounds like curtains he’s hanging in front of all the work they are doing to reduce the opportunities for women to actually afford health care.

RFK Jr.’s department is revealing its thoughts about women's health A conference in Washington this week showcases mainstream and alternative health practices, a teen beauty queen and scientists.

I don’t care what RFK Jr and the MAHA creeps thoughts are on women’s health.

'Unflattering' Pete Hegseth
Photos Report
Only Defense Department photographers have been allowed into subsequent briefings, the Washington Post reports

Wannabe tough-guy Pete Hegseth is apparently too fragile to allow unflattering photographs of himself. Not sure whether this is about a bad hair day, a makeup snafu, or revelations that his bluster makes him present like a hidden image in a Georgia O’Keefe painting.

We should celebrate every such moment of accountability we can find.

To say that actually taking part in killing people is "fun" when an alternative of taking them into custody alive was an option is a level of sadistic depravity that (even if not technically illegal) merits civil commitment to a locked mental facility and separation from society for life.

Well said. So much of what we’re seeing in this country now is not technically illegal, but deeply horrible.

You can make a difference. Probably not The Difference, that singular impact that changes the world. But you can light a moment in someone’s life. You can help someone, lift someone, change a moment in a life. And enough doing that, for enough someones, can move this world.
