Remember in December 2023 when Randy Fine was a FL state representative he hid under his desk to avoid being served a subpoena?

An Open Letter
The SAVE act is one more attempt to suppress Democratic votes after relentless and unfounded lies about voting fraud. What is real is voter suppression. We’ve watched this play out through American history. The Republican lies will not stand. Get in the right side of history. I urge you to do the right thing and vote NO on the SAVE ACT.

So I guess they did meet earlier for the obligatory photo op, but Marco skipped out on the more important meeting with Zelenskyy and EU leaders about Ukraine. He probably doesn't want to face them knowing we're going to sell them out.

The word ‘kitchen’ has the same Latin origin as French ‘cuisine’.
Every culture cooked, but the Romans introduced their separate cooking room – and the word for it – to the Germanic tribes. This word became ‘kitchen’ in English.
The Latin word gradually spread to dozens of other languages as well:
