Trump wants to create a national database of every registered voter in the country. Then, he and the GOP want to decide who gets to stay on it. “It’s a way of essentially taking over the voter registration process,” Marc Elias says, “or, more precisely, taking over the results.”

I have questions about the math here. The highest end of estimates I’m seeing for the average Door Dash tip is $5. If you’re making $11,000 in tips, assuming that generous average, that’s 2,200 deliveries, or 7 per day working 6 days a week all year with no vacation.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
