Floridians really believe that they can just stop paying property taxes because foreigners will willingly pick up the $12,000,000 per year tab??? Would they endure 5% annual tax increases with zero benefits? Would they not simply move somewhere else? They cannot be this stupid/gullible.

Nothing to see here, just a national *news* station airing a segment where they do open anti-Muslim racism and laugh about beating the shit out of a Democratic senate candidate

I don’t remember anyone giving Jerome Powell a check for $100 million. Who gave it to Kevin Warsh, days before he was confirmed and why?

Of all the politicians Navatek’s CEO courted, Susan Collins was its most important patron. The senator’s office steered federal contracts worth millions toward the company while her campaign was pumping its CEO and his network for donations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

Firms linked to Israel’s military, firms linked to Russian businesses, firms linked to Middle East oil. All of his firms seem to be linked to the same places he’s tasked to negotiate on behalf of Trump, even though he doesn’t work for the government and still can’t get a security clearance.

The Republican Party is really desperate. They don’t have ability to just replace known facts with made up nonsense because people lived through said times, or actually did learn something in school.

Trump continues blaming Ukraine for the global fuel crisis, despite the US-Israeli war against Iran being a the main driver of the energy crisis. Trump explicitly claimed, “This isn’t done by the Middle East,” instead blaming Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries.

Ossoff (D-Ga.) on AI can self-regulate: “the conflicts are so immense, and the president's judgment is so poor that the American people are rightly concerned that Donald Trump has neither the capacity nor the incentive to protect them from the risks arising from this technology.”
