There has been so much change already that it’s hard to believe Trump has only been in office for two months.

In his first 50 days in office, President Trump, whose first term was plagued by allegations of close ties to Moscow, has reshaped U.S. policy to benefit one of Washington’s most formidable adversaries.

The Equal Rights Amendment was approved by Congress in 1972 and initially ratified by 35 states. It finally met the three-fourths state-ratification requirement in 2020 when Virginia followed suit. However, it has not been certified and published into the Constitution. Sen.

We’re into that fun part of fall when temperatures are slowly dropping, apples are ripening, pumpkin spice everything is everywhere, and football season has hit its stride. And public polls are piling up faster than the leaves in your driveway. The volume of polls is truly astounding. At one point last week, we had four new Pennsylvania polls released on the same day.
