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. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

This is always the Republican plan. No matter the President. Reward the wealthy and punish the poor. Thank goodness the Bible made clear that all true Christians should aspire to be trillionaires. Jesus loves the ultra-wealthy!
