A new survey by the Anti-Defamation League found that the percentage of Americans who believe in a number of anti-semitic tropes, has spiked in the past three years. Last week the Republican-controlled Missouri state House of Representatives voted to implement a stricter dress code for female legislators. Ohio citizens must now have a driver’s license, state ID, passport or military ID to cast a vote. A federal judge ruled that the writer E.
