I’m a retired former Postmaster of a small town. I also worked for 13 years in the Mail Center for the Mayo Clinic.
I am an avid sports fan and love to play golf. My politics are left-of-center.

This is ridiculous! I’m a USPS retiree and their job is to deliver the mail, not analyze validity. An EO isn’t a law andvthis EO is clearly unconstitutional.

The "might makes right" rationale behind this war infuriates me. While Iran isn't sympathetic as a nation and power in the Middle East, the US and Israel started this without clear provocation.

Textbook BS from the Speaker of the House. "It feels wrong" is not answer, especially when the explanation has been spelled out by people that know the system.

If there was fraud, they should be prosecuted. How many have been charged? I suspect not many.

Injuries to Joe Ryan and Walker Jenkins mean that a pitcher and an outfielder need to be promoted, making room for these two. Culpepper has to be better than some of the guys throwing for the Saints. It looks like Mendez can hit, but what position can he play?

Yeah, if any outfielder should be recalled, it should be Rodriguez. Gonzalez is below .200 and Jenkins is pedestrian. I believe Roden is currently injured.

Notice they don't even mention fraud, because they know it's not a thing. This is a purely partisan effort to maintain power.

Much like the so-called Big Beautiful Bill, the more people know about this legislation, the more unpopular it will become. Please, US Senate debate this for months! This is clearly and purely voter suppression, not a measure to insure integrity at the polls.

I think she'll be a "no" vote, in part because her vote isn't crucial. She has defied Trump enough that he won't support her, so she's probably free to vote her conscience.

Right on all counts ladies. Producing the IDs as prescribed in the so-called SAVE Act will be nearly impossible for many and difficult and/or expensive for many more. The intent is obviously to limit Democratic-leaning voters.

So following the Constitution, what every law enforcement operation is supposed to do, is too much to ask?
I suppose moderates are okay with reforming ICE, but if Republicans demand that they are allowed to continue unconstitutional operations, they'll be faced with shutting it down for good.
