That is a very Trudeauian thing to do. No consideration for how it impacts people who need to drive.

The US has increasingly become politically polarized in recent decades.
A third of respondents in a recent poll said they can't even be friends with rival party supporters.

A similar poll in 2016 found that 7% of voters reported friendships ending because of the election.

As the 2024 presidential election quickly approaches, a large number of young adults say they're unwilling to be friends with someone voting for the presidential candidate of the opposing political party.

The poll, conducted between February 3 and 14 by The Generation Lab and Axios to 1,073 young adults, revealed that 33% of respondents said they would "definitely not" or "probably not" be open to being friends with someone who voted for the opposing party's presidential nominee (selecting Republican former President Donald Trump or Democratic current President Joe Biden, specifically).

Monday's survey comes around seven years after a Monmouth University poll found that 7% of voters said they ended friendships over the vitriolic race between Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Those friendships ended, the poll found, as 70% of respondents said the presidential campaign "brought out the worse in people."

Finding increased political polarization in the country isn't particularly new — researchers have reported the country's rapidly increased polarization for decades, with one poll even finding in 2022 that 43% of US adult respondents predicted a civil war erupting within the next decade. The US also, of course, went through an "actual" civil war between the nation's northern and southern regions in the 1860s.

Former President Donald Trump was handed a victory on Wednesday after the U.S. Supreme Court announced they would take up the question of presidential immunity and possibly push back a criminal trial until after the election.

The court said that it would consider "whether and if so to what extent does a former president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office."

The matter will be taken up by the court the week of April 22.

House Republicans sent the Justice Department a subpoena on Tuesday for materials from special counsel Robert Hur's investigation into President Joe Biden's classified documents scandal.

Lawmakers require the documents for two important purposes. A new letter sent to Garland about the subpoena explained:

Biden impeachment inquiry: "The Committees are concerned that President Biden may have retained sensitive documents related to specific countries involving his family's foreign business dealings."

Oversight of DOJ investigation of Donald Trump: "Additionally, the Judiciary Committee requires these materials for its ongoing oversight of the Department's commitment to impartial justice and its handling of the investigation and prosecution of President Biden's presumptive opponent, President Donald J. Trump, in the November 2024 presidential election."
