Even at it's most reductive, this is still a poll tax for wives.
the new Republican talking point is that it's insulting to complain about requiring women to show their birth certificate and passport in order to vote because they're smart enough to figure it out

Why is it considered newsworthy to consistently provide a platform to liars for them to tell lies, generally unchallenged or weakly so, and then just replay the lies they tell? Is it to show us what everyone already knows (that they are liars)? What is the basis for this media business model?

It's also worth noting that the inflation number everyone is celebrating for January 2026 (2.39% year over year) is not functionally different than the 2.42% in September 2024 that was used to bludgeon the Biden-Harris administration.

There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store
