Egg prices soar to record highs, Apple is rushing to import 600 tons of IPhones from India because of tariffs, inflation has fallen, the House will vote on a budget bill and the SAVE Act, and more
Save act has very intentional wording that can and will be used to bar married women from casting a vote (married women’s last names don’t match the names on their birth certificates). We all need to be paying very close attention to whether or not that passes
I believe the only way to get around the save act, should it go into play, is to have a passport when you vote. It’s fucking ridiculous but this is where we are now in the US🤦🏻♀️
First, we got the "Real ID" mess to contend with as women if we wanted to travel by air, IN or out of the country. Now it seems after proving we're not terrorists, but citizens, we have to do it again. But THIS time we have to wrangle the passport process, wait, and pay good money for it, too. What in the actual fuck! I'm 64yrs old and at every step of the way have had to prove I'm who I say I am my WHOLE damn life. My married name IS who I am, and my birth certificate says who and where I was when I came into this world. My nationality is now being called into questioned in a world I know longer recognize. 💙💔🤬
hopefully you will not have to wrangle with this as it is currently aimed at anyone registering for voting, and hopefully you have been registered for years. But if you move to a new state, for example, and want to vote there, it would come into play. But bottom line, it had better be squashed in the Senate, as it is a horrible bill.
I just got one in January , and it was $180. That amount is cost prohibitive for a lot of families… especially just to vote.
When you’ve already registered to vote and proven your citizenship, and you’re now required to spend a decent amount of money and do it again… that’s crap.
This burden falls primarily on women (mainly married women), and it amounts to suppression of low income and minority voters - the group they’re trying to prevent voting.
I disagree. There are single mothers who work more than one job to pay the bills. There are older women, single, who live on a fixed income. Over or at $100 is unattainable when it comes down to car payments and insurance, utility bills, food and rent. There is no such thing as a living wage (enough to cover the cost of living, no extras), and passport fees are higher than ever. No. $180 is not a drop in the bucket. If that amount is no problem for you, then find a way to donate to an organization that helps women rise above poverty.
I won't be one but surprised if they still try to turn people away and/or ask for a birth certificate in addition to passport. Even though that's not what's supposed to happen.
There’s a reason why passports are expense. It’s because you go through a very detailed process to get one. The government has proven that you are who you say you are. It doesn’t matter if your passport and birth certificate match, that’s the whole point.
Or just stop the tradition of taking other people‘s last names. I was the last in my family‘s line because my dad didn’t have any other kids besides me.
Do we really want women voting considering sooooooooo many of them voted for the Orange Puke and his suckasses? Any buyers remorse girls???? ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Yeah just so trippy that many women would vote away their right to choose. Even in my family. Still don’t get it. Gotta hand it to the Russian GOP, they have a game plan and it works. Fn democrats better wake up. My girlie gran in HS, was influenced in school and voted Orange. The Russian GOP got down to that level. Unbelievable!
I’ll take the heat for my comment. Just know that I have long ago advocated for a woman president cuz MEN have fucked it up big time! Yup. We should have had 2 women Presidents - Hillary n Kamala by now. Geraldine was way ahead of her time in an even more male dominated country. The world need more women leaders! No MTGs n Boeberts plz. “Don’t mess with Mother Nature” and we men know it. ✌🏻❤️
Yes…there were. A lot of disillusioned people and a lot of mean, evil people. We can only hope that the disillusioned have seen through his guise by now.
Exactly. He doesn't care about his high school pass/drop-outs supporters, the redneck states supporters - he is finding his own benefit and his family.
I downloaded a fillable pdf invoice off. I've been mailing my 50% due and payable upon receipt since Feb. Added a 10% late fee😁 I'm still waiting and still mailing. IDGAF it makes me feel better slapping that Forever stamp on them.
I didn't realize that they had imported millions of eggs from Korea--that is wild. I am not sure I want to even eat eggs now, although I love them. Maybe I'll just buy locally farmed eggs from time to time....
It seems like the statement of regulating attendance at American Bar Association programs is an authoritarian move like barring the AP from White House access (now rescinded). I am more concerned about this than the price of eggs.
Not to mention the inability of certain voters to not critically think about what is being said. We've devolved into a gullible "pie in the sky" nation
I was talking to my financial guy last night and he was telling me an outrageous number of how much Americans have consumed over the last 10 years and I think he said we only exported 12% - I am clueless when it comes to this stuff. I am making it my mission to spread awareness about the crisis/ suicide hotline during these struggles times. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated- I have a post on my substack. Thank you all.
Yes, we import more but we're also quite a bit larger than most countries that we import from. Obviously not all, but he can't expect a country the size of one of our states to import the same amount that our entire countries imports from them.
The House passed a bill to restrict district court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions. Only one Republican—Mike Turner from Ohio—sided with Democrats in opposing it. The move directly targets judges who previously blocked some of Trump’s policies.
Trump has signed an executive order aimed at the law firm Susman Godfrey, which played a key role in helping Dominion Voting Systems secure a $787 million settlement from Fox News over false claims about the 2020 election.
HOW can this even be allowed? Why is no one stepping in? Do we need to storm the capital too? I don't get it.
I am so sick and disgusted over what happened yesterday with the stock market. Trump did this intentionally so his followers could buy low and sell high. He even notified them on Twitter. I know you all know this but I couldn't even sleep thinking about what is happening in our country. I wish I could escape.
It passed the House of Representatives, BUT it is not yet law. It must pass the Senate and that requires 60 votes. If no Dems or Independents in the Senate vote for it, it will not become law. Contact your Senators and demand they vote NO.
A left leaning agenda? What happened to free speech?
Free speech doesn’t exist in a dictatorship!
And sadly that is what we have, long past day 1.
Gone to live in Finland.
Cold but nice
Exactly. With universal education and healthcare.
I don’t think it was about backing down at all. It’s amassing more wealth by those in the know off of the rest of us in a very short period of time.
I think they told him that his friends could buy low then sell high.
Yup. That's what it smells like.
100%
Exactly!!
Keep it coming, Aaron. Every day a new stupidity from Republicans.

And the number of women who won’t be able to afford one will be staggering.

$160.00 isn't a drop in the bucket.

Apply for the passport now so we can have it by next November
We got ours last year because of the law that was supposed to go into effect for flying state to state.
I won't be one but surprised if they still try to turn people away and/or ask for a birth certificate in addition to passport. Even though that's not what's supposed to happen.
That still won't match a birth certificate.
There’s a reason why passports are expense. It’s because you go through a very detailed process to get one. The government has proven that you are who you say you are. It doesn’t matter if your passport and birth certificate match, that’s the whole point.
They’ve imposed a paywall. We’re catapulted back to 1910-1965
Didn't Vance change his name?
He did, but he likely has a passport so that won’t make any difference
Oh, I thought it was always Scumbag.
Another reason to ask your spouse to use your last name not his. My great niece did just that!
Or just stop the tradition of taking other people‘s last names. I was the last in my family‘s line because my dad didn’t have any other kids besides me.
Do we really want women voting considering sooooooooo many of them voted for the Orange Puke and his suckasses? Any buyers remorse girls???? ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Yeah, I'd still like to be able to vote, considering I didn't vote for the current administration, thanks. ✌️
Yeah just so trippy that many women would vote away their right to choose. Even in my family. Still don’t get it. Gotta hand it to the Russian GOP, they have a game plan and it works.

men still think with their dicks instead of their petrified brains.
Love you babe ❤️MUAH !
Are fucking serious right now?
✌🏻
Forgive me Heidi. There were A LOT of stupid guys who voted Orange ✌🏻
Yes…there were. A lot of disillusioned people and a lot of mean, evil people. We can only hope that the disillusioned have seen through his guise by now.
Traitor to your own kind. Oof.
Did he mention something during the election campaign that he would bring the prices of eggs down? Still waiting when that “promise” will come.
And my electric bill was going to be cut in half 😡😡Hasn’t mentioned that again! Fucking monster 😡😡 This country has hit rock bottom 😡😡😡
Rock bottom and still digging
Exactly. He doesn't care about his high school pass/drop-outs supporters, the redneck states supporters - he is finding his own benefit and his family.
I downloaded a fillable pdf invoice off. I've been mailing my 50% due and payable upon receipt since Feb. Added a 10% late fee😁 I'm still waiting and still mailing. IDGAF it makes me feel better slapping that Forever stamp on them.
Maybe he was talking about the roach eggs he eats, not chicken eggs. FDT FJDV FMAGATs F Russian GOP
Perfect!
I didn't realize that they had imported millions of eggs from Korea--that is wild. I am not sure I want to even eat eggs now, although I love them. Maybe I'll just buy locally farmed eggs from time to time....
Local farmers will charge less now! I only buy local.
BAHAHAHA!!!!
It seems like the statement of regulating attendance at American Bar Association programs is an authoritarian move like barring the AP from White House access (now rescinded). I am more concerned about this than the price of eggs.
This country is sad...all because of a twisted president and his criminal billionaires.
Not to mention the inability of certain voters to not critically think about what is being said. We've devolved into a gullible "pie in the sky" nation
Yup, let's even keep the lawyers from talking to each other, so that we can dumb down every segment of society.
the usaid worker story is so said 😭
The fact that majority of house signed the okay to block judges is treason and itself.
I was talking to my financial guy last night and he was telling me an outrageous number of how much Americans have consumed over the last 10 years and I think he said we only exported 12% - I am clueless when it comes to this stuff.

Is a tracking system of suicides/deaths under the pervue of the feds?! If so....it will be possibly lost
I’m still stuck on the $6 dozen! In Wa it’s more like $9-$10 dozen.
I came to say this. If everyone else is paying $6.00 I don’t even want to see what they’ll cost at my grocery store in NC.
Thank you for all you do!
how are these two things even happening:
The House passed a bill to restrict district court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions. Only one Republican—Mike Turner from Ohio—sided with Democrats in opposing it. The move directly targets judges who previously blocked some of Trump’s policies.

I'd like some update on SAVE ACT! do I need to get my handmaiden cloths. So what's up with it, can't find much but old stuff
It passed the House of Representatives, BUT it is not yet law. It must pass the Senate and that requires 60 votes. If no Dems or Independents in the Senate vote for it, it will not become law. Contact your Senators and demand they vote NO.
Keep turning out and peacefully protest
