Trump said: “The Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” Which outlet do think got it right with its headline?

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

You could do something about our homeowner insurance? Eliminating vaccine mandates altogether? Just drag us back to an era with measles, pertussis, polio. Finding more ways to fight “wokeness”? That does nothing to improve my life here.

Didn’t really want to read this but as a FL resident felt I should. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Does nothing to help residents with affordability. “Reforming” or eliminating my property taxes just places higher burden on those who don’t have homes, diminishes local control.

MAGA sympathizer/Chief enemy of the Voting Rights Act John Roberts says the Constitution remains "firm and unshaken" with major Supreme Court rulings ahead. Which translates to the Constitution being in the most danger it has ever been. I don’t trust this lying asshole at all.

The right-wing war against public health means that now a person has refused to cooperate with a case investigation that exists for the sole purpose of minimizing the risk to others. Really selfish behavior from a suspected measles case in Utah.
