As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:
“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

Social Security is the greatest promise that Americans have made to one another.
A promise that you can live a dignified life after you retire, become disabled, or lose a family breadwinner.

Chilling how air tracking apps listed the crashed flight as "landed." They were so close. What a tragedy. My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones, and the responders who have worked hard through the night to find any survivors.

In 1961 the plane carrying the US figure skating team to the world championships in Prague crashed, killing all on board. Guy who trained me helped coach one of those skaters but wasn't on board because there wasn't enough money for all the coaches.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
