Did you know 70% of married women change their last name? Well, the SAVE Act just made that a HUGE problem. 💍➡️🚫 Imagine needing to drop $165 on a passport *just to vote*—money that could go to groceries, rent, or diapers. This isn’t about ‘security,’ y’all… it’s a modern-day POLL TAX.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
