For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

For those who fear science, you need to understand something. You can close labs, cut funding, fire/discredit scientists all you want and that will never change reality. Your best defense against nature, disasters or climate will always be scientists with access to the right tools and data.

Ed Sheeran in my humble opinion is correct. Israeli genocide is kind of like Nazi genocide. It's not Democratic at all. Please Stop. Muslims have problems too. Their ideology is twisted in my humble opinion. They're now 25% of people on Earth. Can we coexist?

Democrats are feeling very confident about their chances of retaking the House even as the GOP successfully redrew more seats to their advantage in the past year’s controversial mid-decade redistricting fight.

Trump endorsed both Ashley Moody and James Uthmeier in advance of the August 18 primary yesterday. Both are implicated in the suspected theft of $10M in Medicaid payments to use for political purposes--basically what Trump is trying to frame Tim Walz for. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/f...
Endorsements for both Ashley Moody and James Uthmeier posted to Truth Social. I've put, "Suspected of corruption associated with Hope Florida scandal" and "Also suspected of corruption associated with Hope Florida scandal" on them, in blue.Amendment 3 was the 2024 constitutional amendment that would have legalized marijuana and Amendment 4 was the measure to restore abortion rights in the state.

How exactly did Moody help?
Well, that takes us back to the Hope Florida scandal.

As Florida Attorney General, it was Moody and her office that approved the diversion of $10 million of taxpayer money to the Hope Florida Foundation. And the Attorney General did so without placing any of the safeguards or guardrails her office would typically require to make sure the money was properly spent.

These funds were intended to expand Medicaid for children in Florida, but instead they ended up in the bank accounts of a pair of political action committees, one of which was controlled by the governor and his chief of staff, James Uthmeier.

And that was the money that DeSantis used to defeat Amendment 3.

Amendment 3 garnered 56% of the vote in November 2024, just shy of the 60% needed to pass. And two months after the amendment failed, DeSantis appointed Moody to the United States Senate, and he appointed Uthmeier to replace Moody as attorney general.
