When politicians rewrite history, students pay the price.

After reviewing Florida's new state-funded U.S. history course, the 14,000-member American Historical Association delivered a blunt assessment:

Starting July 1, Florida will begin rolling out a major change to driver's licenses and state ID cards: your citizenship status will now be printed directly on the card.

The change is part of HB 991, Florida's version of the SAVE America Act, which Governor DeSantis signed in April. Beginning next month, new licenses and renewals will indicate whether the holder is a U.S. citizen or holds another legal immigration status. Current license holders will not need to make a special trip to the DMV, as the change will be applied automatically at their next renewal or replacement. Anyone who becomes a U.S. citizen can get a free updated card reflecting their new status.

The broader law also eliminates student IDs, retirement community IDs, debit cards, and public assistance IDs as acceptable forms of voter identification. Candidates running for federal office must now disclose whether they intend to trade stocks while in office, and all candidates must affirm U.S. citizenship and disclose any dual citizenship. The full suite of voter registration and election code changes takes effect January 1, 2027, though the driver's license provision kicks in next month ๐Ÿ“‹.
Critics say the law will disproportionately burden naturalized citizens and legally present immigrants, while supporters call it a common-sense modernization of identification standards.

The Obama Presidential Center has recently been completed in Chicagoโ€™s Jackson Park, ahead of its public opening on June 19, 2026.

Designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, the nearly 20-acre campus is centered around a 225-foot museum tower and includes a forum, public library branch, athletic center, gardens, and civic spaces. The privately funded project has cost around $850 million.

Unlike a traditional presidential library, the center is designed as a civic campus, combining museum spaces, public programming, landscape architecture, and community facilities on Chicagoโ€™s South Side.

At the center of the campus, the faceted stone tower houses exhibition spaces, an Oval Office replica, and a sky room overlooking the city.
