Trump lost another two primaries yesterday in Florida, and if you look closely enough, you can see his stranglehold on the Republican Party starting to loosen. He's a lame duck.

Trump DOJ prosecutors appear to be shaky on the concept of what "actual malice" means. This is from their response to Comey's vindictive prosecution motion, not any defamation case.

Before feeding the #FLSen primary into the maw of factionalism, maybe look at the map. Nixon won Duval County 80-20! Most of the heavily Black counties of the pandhandle she took by 70% or more. This is about pure, unadulterated post-Callais anger; Nixon was a face of the gerrymandering resistance.
