I have been meaning to get a new passport, as mine expired more than 15 years ago, and I wanted to know if I can avoid one with Trump’s face on it. For those who may be in a similar situation, I submit the following: How to get (or avoid) new Trump passports: NPR share.google/WnBoYebT15Gp...

New U.S. passports with Trump's image are available. Here's how to get (or avoid) one
The passports feature an image of President Trump and are only available in person at the Washington Passport Agency — and only by appointment.

Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

I completely agree. I think we need an entire constitutional convention after Trump leaves office that gathers people like George Conway, Jamie Raskin, Glen Kirchner, Harry Litman, Marc Elias, and Norm Eisen. Those are just a few of my favorites, but I would love to see something like that happen.

They call us "groomers" for allowing drag queens to read to kids at the library? Now, they say boys can't play in girl's sports, so the answer is to check their genitals so we know they're "batting for the right team." Big difference. 🙄😡 Pun intended.
