1. Health, Fitness, and Longevity Philosophy Dana White emphasizes personal responsibility for health, especially after age 50. Core practices he credits for major health improvements: Keto diet (low carbs, meat, fish, vegetables; no “sides”). Intermittent fasting (skipping breakfast and lunch). Extended fasting (48–72 hour water + electrolyte fasts a few times per year). Cold plunges (3 minutes at ~50°F daily) to reduce inflammation and boost energy. Light weights + cardio, not heavy lifting. Claims these changes helped him: Lose significant weight (from ~235 to as low as 191). Eliminate sleep apnea and snoring. Get off prescription medications and rely on supplements instead. Improve mental clarity, focus, and energy.

Strongly endorses personalized blood and genetic testing (via Gary Brecka). Believes many people are unnecessarily prescribed medication. Frames supplements, peptides, and lifestyle changes as superior to pharmaceuticals for chronic issues. FOLLOW DANA WHITE on Instagram HERE 3. Early Life and Entry Into Combat Sports Knew from a young age he wanted to work in the fight business. Left a hotel job in Boston at 19 to apprentice under boxing trainer Peter Welch. Learned the fight industry hands-on rather than through formal education. Left Boston abruptly after being shaken down by associates of Whitey Bulger, relocating to Las Vegas. LEARN MORE ABOUT DANA WHITE HERE 4. Acquisition and Transformation of the UFC Helped orchestrate the purchase of UFC for $2 million when it was near collapse. At acquisition, UFC had: Minimal assets (brand name and octagon). Sold-off media and merchandising rights. No mainstream credibility or regulation. Strategic decisions that fueled growth: Embracing regulation (opposite of prior owners). Educating audiences about MMA (especially ground fighting). Securing TV exposure, not just pay-per-view. Recruiting elite global talent. Creating compelling reality and talent pipelines (e.g., The Ultimate Fighter, Contender Series). UFC is now valued in the billions and dominates live-event gates, including Madison Square Garden. 5. View on Fighters and Greatness Believes MMA is superior to boxing structurally: Fighters must face top competition consistently. Harder to protect undefeated records. Calls Jon Jones the greatest MMA fighter of all time. Views Muhammad Ali as his favorite boxer, but praises Mike Tyson’s cultural impact. Believes elite athletes from other sports (NFL, Jordan, Shaq) could have been dominant MMA fighters with proper training. 6. Joe Rogan and Media Influence Credits Joe Rogan with helping mainstream audiences understand MMA. Did not anticipate Rogan becoming the world’s biggest podcaster. Attributes Rogan’s success to: Curiosity and intelligence. Long-form, unscripted conversations. Willingness to engage controversial topics. Sees podcasts as a powerful alternative to traditional media. 7. Relationship with Donald Trump Friendship began when Trump hosted early UFC events at his casinos when few would. Describes Trump as: Personally loyal. Resilient under pressure. Charismatic and relatable in private. Publicly supports Trump despite advice not to engage politically. Views Trump as unfairly targeted and uniquely resilient. Strongly positive about Trump’s embrace of podcasts and nontraditional media. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In this episode of The Millionaire Woman Show, Debra Kasowski challenges listeners to look beyond the surface excuses that keep them stuck.

By shifting from limitation-focused thinking to curiosity and resourcefulness, you can unlock new possibilities, create momentum, and move closer to the life and business you desire. If you're ready to stop waiting and start taking the next right step, this episode will help you tap into the power of better questions—and remind you that when you become resourceful, you become unstoppable.

The Ozempic weight loss drug promises rapid weight loss, but at what cost? In this video, find out why I would never take Ozempic, the Ozempic dangers they never tell you about, and the semaglutide side effects that will make you think twice about taking Ozempic. Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO070:00 Introduction: Ozempic explained0:39 Ozempic muscle loss2:15 Natural GLP-1 system2:39 GLP-1 drug side effects4:30 How to avoid Ozempic dangers 10:27 Ozempic truth and the problem with modern medicine11:35 What to do instead of OzempicWhen you lose 50 pounds on Ozempic, you haven't only lost fat; you've also lost muscle. Research has shown that most people gain two-thirds of their weight back within a year of quitting Ozempic. This new weight gain is nearly all fat!Ozempic hijacks a system that already occurs naturally in your body. There are specialized cells in the digestive system called L-cells that increase GLP-1 when stimulated. GLP-1 tells the brain it's no longer hungry, releases insulin, and slows digestion. For many people, the natural GLP-1 system is broken. To activate this system without the use of Ozempic, you'll need to naturally trigger the L-cells and activate GLP-1. This won't work as powerfully as Ozempic, but it can create a significant effect. To do this, consume the following:• Short-chain fatty acids • Apple cider vinegar• Fermented foods • Fiber with each meal• Omega-3 fats • Olive oil• Avocado oil • Amino acids • Bile salts (TUDCA)There are specific types of fiber that help support this process, including inulin found in garlic and onions, leeks, asparagus, artichokes, flax seeds, chia seeds, and avocados. Try replacing salad with sauerkraut to activate GLP-1. Modern medicine does not address root causes, but rather addresses symptoms that occur later in the chain of events. This holds true for Ozempic. Instead of taking Ozempic, try the following:1. Protein and fiber 2. Eliminate starches and sugar from your diet3. Walk after meals4. Consume 1-2 meals per day, no snacking5. Weight trainingDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

A bizarre scenario in the World Baseball Classic has fans and analysts asking an uncomfortable question: could two teams theoretically work together to eliminate Team USA? With the tournament's complicated run-differential rules creating a narrow path for advancement, the hosts break down exactly how a Mexico–Italy game could determine whether the U.S. moves on—or gets sent home. They walk through the strange math behind the standings, debate whether collusion would ever actually happen in professional sports, and reflect on past examples where strategic outcomes raised eyebrows. Along the way, the conversation shifts into broader sports talk—from whether anyone will actually watch the game to debates about quarterback stability in the NFL and what it really means to build a winning culture for struggling franchises.

Children don't experience divorce through court documents or financial agreements. They experience it through tone, tension, and the daily communication between their parents. And when that communication stays reactive, unclear, or emotionally charged, children carry that instability with them. In this episode of We Chat Divorce, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan sit down with family law attorneys Elle Barr and Rebecca Perra from OurFamilyWizard to discuss one of the most important — and often overlooked — factors affecting children after divorce: parental conflict. Drawing on decades of family law experience and research like the ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) study, this conversation explores why unmanaged conflict between parents can have lasting emotional and health consequences for children. But there is good news: conflict can be reduced when parents use the right systems, tools, and communication structures. You'll learn how co-parenting platforms like OurFamilyWizard help parents: Reduce emotional conflict in communication Create accountability in co-parenting decisions Track shared child expenses clearly Eliminate misunderstandings about schedules and reimbursements Protect children from adult financial stress You'll also hear why financial clarity — understanding expenses, support, and shared responsibilities — is critical to building a sustainable co-parenting plan. This episode is essential listening for parents navigating divorce, co-parenting challenges, or ongoing communication struggles with a former spouse. Because divorce doesn't have to damage children. Conflict does — and conflict can be reduced.

A resolution in the Missouri General Assembly, if approved, would create a process to eliminate the individual income tax as soon as 2032. It would allow for an expansion of some sales taxes to recoup funding lost as a result of lowering or eliminating this tax. Any resolution passed in the statehouse would have to be approved by voters.
This episode of the Achieve Results Now podcast features hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt diving deep into the art of prioritization. They explore how the word "No" is actually a tool to protect your "Yes," ensuring your limited time is spent on things that actually move the needle in your business and personal life. The 3-Step Framework for Radical Prioritization: Step 1: Conduct a "Resistance Audit" Before you can move forward, you have to see where you're leaking time. The 7-Day Review: Look back at your last week. Highlight what moved you toward your goals and circle the "obligation leaks", those things you said yes to out of guilt or politeness. The Profit or Pleasure Filter: If a task doesn't bring you profit (progress) or pleasure (joy), it's a candidate for the chopping block. Calculate the Cost: Be honest about "time bleed." A 24-hour day disappears quickly once you factor in sleep and work; every "polite yes" shrinks your remaining free time. Step 2: "Hell Yeah" or No Borrowed from the popular productivity philosophy, this step is about emotional and logical alignment. The 9/10 Rule: If a new request doesn't excite you at a level 9 or 10, the answer is no. There is no middle ground. The Trade-off Check: Realize that every "Yes" to someone else is a "No" to your family, your fitness, or your focus. Master the "Neutral No": Learn to decline without being abrasive. Use phrases like, "I'm booked out for two weeks; let's revisit then," to protect your schedule without burning bridges. Step 3: Create "Protection Zones" Setting boundaries isn't enough; you have to defend them. Deep Work Blocks: Schedule non-negotiable time for your most important thinking and writing. Eliminate "Dawdle Time": Watch out for the micro-distractions (like a "quick" five-minute scroll on social media) that happen between tasks. These small leaks rack up significant time. Broadcast Your Boundaries: Tell your family and team when you are "off-limits." If people don't know your boundaries, they can't respect them. Summary Table: Reclaim Your Calendar Strategy Key Action Goal Resistance Audit Audit the last 7 days of your calendar. Identify "obligation leaks." Hell Yeah or No Only accept 9/10 opportunities. Eliminate the "maybe" trap. Protection Zones Block out "Deep Work" hours. Prevent distractions and "dawdle time." Neutral No Decline requests with kindness and style. Protect relationships while saving time. "Protect your 'Yes' by mastering your 'No.' Your time is finite; don't spend it on things that don't move the needle."

The city of Hoboken, New Jersey, has had no traffic deaths for nine years straight. This streak is no fluke. It’s the result of focused efforts by the city’s planners and concerted leadership from elected representatives. Portland and other cities in Oregon are making some progress in their efforts to reduce these same kinds of deaths, which transportation planners like Lake McTighe say are largely preventable. McTighe is the principle transportation planner for Portland’s regional government Metro. She also manages its Safe Streets for All program, which aims to reduce deaths and serious injuries from traffic crashes. We sit down with McTighe to hear about the best practices that Hoboken and some other cities in the U.S. and other countries have used to eliminate traffic deaths — and get an update on the region’s progress toward that goal.
Today we're breaking down HJR 203, a proposal that could eliminate city and county property taxes for Florida homesteaded homeowners starting in 2027 — potentially cutting tax bills in half.But there's a catch.State economists project a $14.8 billion annual gap in local budgets, which fund police, fire departments, roads, and public services. So the real question is: will homeowners see true relief, or will costs shift elsewhere?I also share a potential solution — a structured visitor tax on the 143 million people who visit Florida each year — that could help offset the deficit while protecting residents.This isn't just about taxes. It's about balance, growth, and protecting Florida's future. That's the common denominator.Like this episode? Leave a review here:https://ratethispodcast.com/commondenominator

"You should actually get a little bit excited when you make a careless mistake—because you're about to get better." Everyone makes careless mistakes on the GMAT—even well-prepared test takers. In this episode of Inside the GMAT, GMAC Zach sits down with Manhattan Prep instructor Stacey Koprince to break down why these mistakes happen and what you can actually do to prevent them. Stacey explains the critical difference between a true knowledge gap and a careless mistake—and why the latter is often the easiest type of mistake to fix. Instead of beating yourself up when you spot one, she argues you should see it as an opportunity to improve your score. The conversation explores the hidden causes behind careless errors, including stress, mental fatigue, time pressure, and small weaknesses in your knowledge foundation. Zach and Stacey also discuss practical strategies for identifying patterns in your mistakes and building new habits that interrupt them before they happen again. Listeners will learn how to use a review log (AKA error log) to track mistakes, how to diagnose the real reason an error occurred, and how to design simple "micro-checks" during problem solving that can prevent costly slip-ups. They also tackle an uncomfortable truth about adaptive exams like the GMAT: sometimes the smartest strategy is getting questions wrong quickly so you can protect your accuracy on questions you can get right. If you've ever finished a problem, looked at the correct answer, and thought "I knew that—how did I miss it?", this episode will give you a framework for turning those frustrating moments into real score gains. About Stacey: Stacey Koprince is one of the most recognized names in test prep, with over 15 years of experience teaching the GMAT, EA, GRE, and LSAT. As Manhattan Prep's Director of Content & Curriculum, she has written countless articles, guides, and video explanations that thousands of students rely on. A former management consultant, Stacey now spends her days helping future business leaders master tricky concepts and find confidence in their prep—something she's passionate about seeing "click" for every student.

The process to fix them: identify the mistake → understand why it happened → build a new habit to prevent it. Small habits (like writing key information on scratch paper) can dramatically reduce errors. Keeping a review log helps reveal patterns across practice sessions. On adaptive exams, time management matters: sometimes it's smarter to guess quickly and protect accuracy elsewhere.

☎️ Schedule a Business Evaluation Call with The Construction Leading Edge Team HERE – EPISODE 433: Construction business owner buried in reactive mode, watching your business grow while your stress grows with it? Working 60+ hour weeks, stressed about profit, team management, and scaling your construction company… and still feeling behind? If that hits a little too close to home, this episode is for you. Most construction business owners who feel overwhelmed assume they need more people, better software, or tighter time management. But that's rarely the issue. What's really happening is that you've outgrown the current design of your business, and more effort will only increase stress instead of freedom. In this episode of The Construction Leading Edge Podcast, I break down the five decisions that determine whether growth creates real freedom or a larger, more chaotic operation. I talk about eliminating root cause problems, designing around results, and systematizing your construction business so you stop being the bottleneck. You don't need to work harder. What got you here won't get you there. If you want to scale, it's time to redesign the system.

5 emergencies The 5 Skills That Eliminate Most Emergencies | Episode 595 Good morning. It's 18 degrees. Tennessee decided to remind us who's in charge. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com. Today we're talking about something that doesn't get enough credit in prepping circles. Not gear. Not bunker fantasies. Skills. Five specific skills that eliminate most emergencies before they ever become emergencies. Let's get into it. 1. Preventative Maintenance There are two types of people. The proactive maintenance crowd. And the rest of us. I'll admit — I'm not perfect at it. But I know better. And knowing better already puts you ahead. Basic maintenance prevents most mechanical disasters: • Oil changes • Cleaning AC units • Replacing spark plugs • Checking filters • Roof inspections • HVAC servicing I clean our window units every year. Pull them out, dismantle them, clean the coils, clear the sludge. Since I started doing that, they've lasted years longer. Most people run things until they fail. Failure is expensive. Maintenance is cheap. Same goes for your car. Same goes for your house. Ignore it long enough and you're buying a new roof instead of patching a leak. Preventative maintenance turns “emergency repair” into “routine upkeep.” 2. Financial Awareness Most “emergencies” are just financial mismanagement. Overdraft fees. Late fees. Impulse spending. Untracked subscriptions. Lifestyle creep. You don't need to make more money. You need to control the money you already make. When my wife and I started actually tracking spending and living on a budget, we built savings fast. No magic. No lottery. No second job. Just awareness. Turn off overdraft protection so transactions decline instead of charging you $35 to be broke. Set alerts. Call and negotiate fees when they happen. Financial awareness eliminates overdraft emergencies, debt spirals, and panic purchases. Most financial disasters are preventable. 3. Cooking From Basic Ingredients If you can cook from scratch, shortages don't wreck you. Missing celery? Pivot. No carrots in the store? Make something else. Eggs gone? Mayo works in cornbread. If you rely on recipes as rigid law, you panic. If you understand ingredients and substitutions, you adapt. Cooking skill equals flexibility. Flexibility eliminates food stress. You don't need a fully stocked gourmet kitchen. You need knowledge. And honestly? AI is great for this. “Hey, I have chicken, rice, and canned tomatoes. What can I make?” Boom. Ideas. Over time, you build your own mental database. That eliminates grocery store drama. 4. Basic Health & First Aid Awareness Don't ignore your health. Monitor blood pressure. Watch blood sugar. Get basic labs done. Exercise. Eat like an adult. Letting your health degrade until you're dependent on emergency medicine is the opposite of preparedness. You don't have to become a biohacker. But you should know your numbers. You should understand symptoms. You should have basic first aid skills. Most long-term “health emergencies” are years in the making. Early action prevents crisis. 5. Calm Problem Solving This one is huge. When something goes wrong: Slow down. Assess. Act deliberately. Panicking compounds problems. Calm thinking: • Avoids dumb decisions • Reduces accidents • Keeps conflict small • Stops mistakes from stacking Most situations aren't life-or-death. They feel like it because people escalate emotionally. Calm problem solving turns chaos into steps. And steps are manageable. Final Thoughts Most disasters aren't hurricanes or EMPs. They're: • Neglected maintenance • Financial sloppiness • Poor health • Inability to cook • Emotional overreaction Master these five skills and you eliminate most emergencies before they begin. Prepping isn't about hoarding. It's about competence. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com. DIY to survive.

Welcome back to the Entrepreneur's Journey Podcast. In this episode, Jason Gabrielli of HFM Investment Advisors is joined by Jamie Stinson of Advanced Exit Solutions to discuss strategies that can dramatically reduce—or even eliminate—capital gains taxes when selling a privately held business. They examine planning opportunities for both long-range exits and imminent sales, including charitable structures and valuation strategies that may significantly limit tax exposure. If you're a business owner thinking about succession, private equity offers, or rollover equity, this episode outlines options worth considering before signing a deal.Tune into this episode to also learn:● How early exit planning can shield future business appreciation from taxation.● Strategies available when a sale is already in motion.● How charitable components can reduce capital gains exposure by 60–70%.● Why rollover equity may create a second opportunity for tax elimination.What we discussed● [00:00:40] Introduction to Jamie Stinson and his focus on tax mitigation strategies for business owners.● [00:03:28] The difference between long-term exit planning and imminent sale strategies.● [00:05:46] A real-world example of shielding $40 million in appreciation from capital gains tax.● [00:08:28] How charitable structures can reduce capital gains taxes by 60–70% in near-term sales.● [00:10:23] A case study involving a $40 million sale and multi-generational income planning.● [00:15:23] How valuation timing impacts tax outcomes in growing businesses.● [00:20:39] Using rollover equity to eliminate taxes on the “second bite of the apple.”3 Things To RememberThe earlier you begin planning for a business exit, the more opportunities you may have to limit taxes on future appreciation.Even if a sale is imminent, there may still be structures available that substantially reduce capital gains exposure.Rollover equity and charitable planning strategies can transform a taxable event into a multi-generational wealth opportunity.Useful LinksConnect with Jason Gabrieli: jgabrieli@hfmadvisors.com | LinkedInConnect with Jamie Stinson: LinkedInLike what you've heard…Subscribe to our BuiltWealth™ Newsletter HERE
Execution doesn't define leadership. Pivoting does. In this powerful episode, Lisa Goldenthal breaks down why elite CEOs aren't measured by how well they follow a plan — but by how precisely they adjust when the plan disappears. In today's AI-driven, high-volatility market, speed matters. But what most companies are losing isn't talent — it's leadership velocity. The culprit? Decision Drag. When teams wait for the CEO to approve, rescue, or emotionally stabilize the room, growth slows. Revenue stalls. Energy leaks. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Is leadership measured by execution — or by your ability to pivot under pressure? How much "Decision Drag" is silently costing your company each year? If you disappeared for 30 days, would your organization hold — or stall? How do elite CEOs pivot without leaking panic into the system? Where are you "five inches off" that's compounding into future failure? Lisa introduces the BOSS Architecture — a practical framework for emotional regulation, energy optimization, strategic mindset, and self-leadership that removes you as the bottleneck. Because if your company's speed depends on your presence, you haven't built a system. You've built a cage. This episode is essential listening for CEOs, founders, and executive leaders who are ready to stop being the "Chief Everything Officer" and start being the Architect.

In this episode of Destroy The Hairdresser, David goes solo.He invites you into a different vision of what a salon can be, one that feels more like a gallery than a factory.Slower doesn't mean less money. Softer doesn't mean weak.David breaks down how DTH salons operate with less chaos and higher profitability by removing double booking, eliminating retail pressure, and focusing on time-based pricing, shared space, and intentional systems.

Episode Summary Auditing your expenses can dramatically improve financial awareness, helping you identify money leaks and understand your true living costs. In this episode, the hosts present a structured four-step framework aimed at facilitating regular expense audits, which ideally should be conducted annually. The discussion includes practical strategies for tracking subscriptions, variable expenses, and distinguishing between required and discretionary spending. By adopting a calculated approach to expenses, you can effectively mitigate lifestyle creep while ensuring every dollar serves a purpose. Key Tactical Takeaways Conduct an Annual Expense Audit: Establish a routine to review expenses at least once a year to stay on top of spending habits and identify areas for improvement. Categorize Every Expense: Break down expenditures into necessary (fixed costs) and discretionary (variable costs) categories for clearer insights. Use a Value Matrix: Assess expenses based on their joy and necessity to inform which should be retained, reduced, or eliminated. Track Subscriptions and Variable Costs: Pay attention to recurring payments, particularly those related to entertainment and services like streaming or software. Calculate the Long-Term Impact of Small Savings: Remember that cutting small monthly expenses can significantly affect your financial independence number over time. Core Rules & Formulas Rule Explanation Annual Expense Audit Review all expenses once a year to prevent overspending and identify leaks. Categorization of Expenses Differentiate between Required (fixed) and Discretionary (variable) expenses. Value Matrix Implementation Organize spending into High Joy/ Low Joy and Essential/ Eliminate quadrants. Prioritize Necessary Expenses Always account for essential bills, including utilities, groceries, and housing costs. Evaluate Impact of Expenses Each $100 cut from monthly expenses reduces your FI number by $30,000 and if invested can generate $60,000 over time (20-year horizon).

Categorize Your Expenses: Use the expense audit spreadsheet to identify necessary vs. discretionary spending. Reflect on Your Findings: After auditing, identify any hidden expenses or subscriptions that can be cut, and share insights with the community at choosefi.com/login. Conducting an Effective Expense Audit: A Step-by-Step Guide Understanding the Expense Audit Definition: An expense audit is a systematic review of your expenditures to identify unnecessary spending and money leaks. Goal: The aim is to clarify how much your life actually costs. Importance of Regular Expense Audits Frequency: Conduct an expense audit at least once a year to keep track of spending habits. Long-term Tracking: Monitor for lifestyle creep, which can happen gradually and affect your financial health over time. Action Steps to Begin Your Expense Audit Gather Financial Data: Download your recent bank and credit card statements (last 3 to 4 months). Check statements for variances and patterns in spending. Categorize Your Expenses: Separate them into categories such as housing, transportation, food, entertainment, and miscellaneous. Include all necessary and discretionary expenditures. Identifying Money Leaks Subscription Services: Track all recurring subscriptions and evaluate their necessity. Variable vs. Fixed Expenses: Distinguish between fixed permissible expenses (mortgage, insurance) and variable spendings (dining out, entertainment) to identify areas for improvement. Implementing a Value Matrix Categorization: Create a value matrix to differentiate between: High Joy (essential to happiness) Low Joy (non-essential) Essential (required for daily living) Eliminate (unnecessary expenses) Analyze Each Category: Assess each item in terms of value and joy to decide if it should remain in your budget.
1. Virginia Politics & Redistricting Democrats in Virginia are moving quickly to enact policy changes after recent elections. The new Virginia congressional map heavily favors Democrats (projected 10D–1R), despite the state split being closer to 53% Democrat / 47% Republican. Comparisons to redistricting in Texas, California, and New England, arguing that both parties gerrymander but Virginia’s map is described as especially extreme. 2. Immigration Enforcement Virginia’s governor (referred to as Abigail Spanberger) cut cooperation with ICE. This policy could result in criminal undocumented immigrants being released into communities. 3. Discussion of Supreme Court Oral Arguments on Tariffs Detailed recounting of a Supreme Court case involving presidential authority to impose tariffs. Highlights: Roberts, Gorsuch, and Barrett expressed skepticism toward the administration’s position. Kavanaugh, Thomas, and Alito appeared more open to upholding the tariff authority. Predicts that Chief Justice Roberts may write a majority opinion to uphold tariff powers on institutional grounds. 4. The “Save America Act” House of Representatives passed the act with only one Democrat voting in favor. The act requires: Proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. Photo ID to vote. Presented as “common-sense” election integrity legislation. Describes a procedural strategy within existing Senate rules, not abolishing the filibuster. Would force Democrats to perform a talking filibuster (continuous floor speeches). Requires Republicans to maintain 50 senators physically present, possibly for days or weeks. Democrats aim to: Eliminate photo ID laws. Grant statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico. Offer citizenship and voting rights to undocumented immigrants. Pack the Supreme Court. Voter ID and citizenship proof are extremely popular nationwide with broad bipartisan support. Republicans should force Democrats to publicly defend opposition during a talking filibuster.
