Good luck! I hope you win in a landslide and send DeSantis home humiliated. Florida deserves better.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

"Miller slipped up because even he knows it is an outrageous thing for Trump to claim absolute, unreviewable power to send active-duty military troops into American cities based only on his delusions."

Stephen Miller's radically bogus idea of "plenary authority"

This is not how the Constitution works.

The entire first two months of the Biden administration were taken up by obsessive complaining about how he wouldn't do press conferences & wasn't taking policy questions (bsky.app/profile/mcop...).

This? Gone tomorrow. Totally different set of standards applied to two totally different parties.

I see that this small-minded puritanical pixie is laser-focused on getting the government reopened and the troops paid.

These guys talk so tough but would per their pants if they ever had to go to war or stand up to someone in person. What pathetic losers.

Republicans control the White House, the House, and the Senate.

You know who holds the keys. This is on them.

Analysis: A resolution to the government shutdown seems further away than ever | CNN Politics

The pain is deepening. But Republicans and Democrats are only becoming angrier and more estranged over a government shutdown with no end in sight.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

4 months ago, someone on Team Trump told me they were laughing at the whole “No Kings” thing. They’re not laughing at it anymore. Team Trump is now scared to death of the “No Kings” movement. Just listen to how desperately they attack it. Today’s show.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.
