Legal experts say states could help married women who have changed their last names by accepting documents like a legal decree or a marriage certificate, but it might not fix the issue for all.
Will the SAVE Act make it harder for married women to vote? We ask legal experts

These acts against women are not okay. This is not protecting voting, it is limiting voter access.
Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.
Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

Thinking walls are an amazing way to show how learning develops. They can be used in Art rooms as well to help students develop their own ideas from collaborative research and discussions.
“It's not about ‘how cute can I make something look?’” says educator Irene Garneau. “It's about documenting the serious learning that happens for young children.” 📝

Trying to suppress women’s votes.
69M married women could lose their voting rights if the SAVE Act is passed. Transgender individuals too.
Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered.
This is insane!
Hands Off Her Vote

CBO finds that DOGE failed to achieve measurable savings in March.
At first glance, spending fell $38B (7%) compared to last year. But March began on a Saturday so payments that normally go out in March went out in Feb
After adjusting, spending *rose* $45B (8%) compared to March 24.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE.
The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.
A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Again, this isn't about efficiency.
