There's a new wave of Democratic ads across the country that are somehow brutally partisan and incredibly effective and it's going to take some time for me to get used to this?

By dividing the 75 million voters who picked Kamala does not add, it subtracts. DSA works in some places but not every place. Instead of dividing the party, allow the dogma of the DSA party to grow organically.

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.

Four years after Dobbs, there's been a significant, sustained and politically consequential shift in public opinion. The debate over abortion rights did not simply return to the states. It fundamentally altered how many Americans think about the issue and how they vote.

As states moved quickly after 'Dobbs' to enact abortion bans, public opinion moved in the opposite direction.
