That Brown was decided correctly was (at least rhetorically) bi-partisan and not controversial. That the GOP is now willing to openly say that this landmark case was wrong is evidence of just how far the party's authoritarianism has progressed.

For context, even if $55 billion has “been saved,” that represents less than 1% of the federal budget. It’s like saying, “instead of $100, you pay $99.25.”

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.
