Conservatives expect Johnson will embrace proof-of-citizenship voting in anti-shutdown measure

21. "BUT this is what *rump is screaming about... shutting down the government if it doesn't pass"

After 30+ years as a federal worker (now retired the past 7 years), it's something that happens every year. Most times there was a C.R. (or multiple ones), but there were a couple times that the shutdowns actually occurred. Notably, the career-ending one that Newt Gingrich did in the '90s, where my multi-agency building was completely empty except for 3 agencies (including mine) that had fortunately been funded, the "Green Eggs and Ham nonsense" one in 2013, where I sat home for 3 weeks, not permitted to open my work laptop, and then 45's extended shutdown (which did ultimately become a career-ender) in 2018 - 2019 (luckily I was out of there before that).

I think that Turtle is going to put some major pressure on Johnson to cut the crap and pass "clean" C.R.s.

With respect to the RealID - I did get one about 5 years ago and since I had a passport, it helped. I chuckle about how when I was a kid, our family had a "family passport" with all of us in the one pic on the passport (no smiling allowed). Of course that all went away.

The entire issue of women and surnames/married names and docs associated with that, really is something that is long past due to be addressed in some kind of legislation. It is literally has a disparate impact to women.
