A new pilot program was launched today allowing people to run themselves through E-Verify and make sure the database has the correct information about them.

The most common error I’m aware of is women who haven’t informed Social Security of their married names — something you certainly want to fix now, not when you’re 65.

Trump Was Not Stabbed in the Back
By Jim Geraghty
Just about everybody hates losing. Just about everybody really hates losing and knowing it was a genuine, earned defeat, and that the outcome didn’t just come down to a lucky bounce at the last second.

I missed this article from ten days ago, but it seems misguided enough to deserve comment. The thesis is that Justice Barrett threatens the right to contraception that the Supreme Court invented in Griswold v. Connecticut — a line of argument I’ve already criticized in this space.
