The odious SAVE act is written to target young people (new voters), women (changed names), renters (changed addresses), and people who are struggling to make ends meet / can't afford the time and aggravation.

All likely Democrats.

And it doesn't solve any real problem.

The latest from Sack.

Make a passport a requirement to vote. Then block the issuing of new passports. Magats in action.

Obersturmführer Bovino is out, so there's at least that bit of good news.

Thailand just launched a crackdown on visa overstays. Curiously, it does not involve masked thugs breaking car windows and heads.

Among the women and immigrants who won: Kaohly Her, Laos-born ethnic Hmong immigrant elected mayor of St. Paul.

Many Hmong moved to Minnesota after the Vietnam war.

As the Watergate revelations piled high, many Republicans abandoned Nixon. In Minnesota, Republicans were so embarrassed by the criminality they rebranded as the "Independent Republican Party."

When will we see today's Republicans stand up for the Constitution and the rule of law?

My first paycheck was from CBS -- the owned-and-operated station in St. Louis, where I worked as a copyboy in the KMOX-TV newsroom. CBS was the "Tiffany network," the gold standard of broadcast journalism. It is sad to see that come to an end. Billionaire Larry Ellison is buying the company and putting a right-wing kook, Bari Weiss, in charge of CBS News.

Say goodbye to the news organization that brought us Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Harry Reasoner, Douglas Edwards, Charles Collingwood, Marvin Kalb, Charles Kuralt, Roger Mudd, Daniel Schorr, and Eric Sevareid.

I think America was greater when the CDC was the global gold standard and not a pathetic political tool.

This is the real America: Immigrants with the courage to move halfway round the world to build a new life.

Also, dim sum.

Maybe I'm a wild-eyed woke radical, but I think "private prison" should be illegal as hell.

Just leaving this here for people who claim to be Christian but are experiencing since magat confusion:

"The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God."
Leviticus 19:34

"Government Requests
When legally forced to provide information to government or law enforcement agencies, we'll disclose the transcripts of that communication here."

If you want to see how Putin might handle an agreement to end the war in Ukraine, take a look at Israel.

Corn futures are plunging under the threat of Trump's trade war.

Is the G in Doge pronounced like the G in GIF?

The latest filing in Trump's election interference case is bona fide holy shit.

"Make them riot" is pretty clear to anyone who hasn't scrambled their brains.
