Florida closer to delaying candidate qualifying for redistricting Florida senators moved the congressional candidate qualifying period to allow for redistricting. The House must now agree.

In the latest sign that Florida Republicans will go through with re-gerrymandering the congressional map when they reconvene on April 20 for a special session called by Gov. Ron DeSantis, legislators have advanced a bill to delay the candidate filing period from April to June

A stellar series from my stellar colleagues @statesnewsroom.com + @stateline.org!

Accidentally firing his ass, perhaps. Give that it was holstered in his back. They have no shame.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

You know things are bad when the girlfriend threatens to leave and take his tooth fairy money with her.

Every CDC scientist involved in this should be held responsible for crimes against human rights

It was because it is very difficult to keep a fractionaluzed coalition together and technocratic, deracialized populism was the lowest common denominator. The problem is that it lacks the emotional energy required to mobilize.

Translation: we will kill more innocent people who want to exercise their rights and protect their neighbors.

“The Brazilian response reflects a hard-earned lesson from the comparative study of democratic collapse: early, forceful, and legally grounded intervention is often the only way to stop backsliding once elites signal a willingness to subvert electoral outcomes”

Kavanaugh stops on immigration enforcement. And revised Kavanaugh stops. To paraphrase Malcolm, I am not a citizen, if Kavanaugh steps are needed to make me a citizen.

YouTube video by Cory Booker The 60 Minutes Story The Trump Administration Doesn't Want You To See

@corybooker.com has the 60-minute CECOT segment available on his channel. Watch it while you can. In other places, Paramount has taken the video down - "copyright," don't you know. Share. The more who witness, the better.

So, "I would have generalized, not singled out one threat. There were many creeps."

That's right! It is not identity politics when a white man with limited credentials holds the job. He earned it. Like everything DT has done is earned.

Hey, give him some grace! The penmanship is fantastic!

This is hard to fathom but 25% of the growth in California income tax revenues this year is from tech stock-based compensation: lao.ca.gov/LAOEconTax/A...

Sure. That is DEFINITELY going to WORK. It is in caps, so it is TRUE.

"Stock". Nice. Show me you know your eugenics without bringing up eugenics.

Can we please contextualize this? This shows that support for political violence as measured is thermostatic and expressive. People on the identity extremes express higher support when their side is out of power.

SUNNY, BALMY DAY in Chicago. It is ALL CAPS, so it is true.

Is the floor oak or pine? There is a difference.

Siri, how do you define self-dealing?

Trump will die one day. Trumpism is much more difficult to suppress because elites have learned that there are no limits and SCOTUS reinforces that notion. Will the "silent majority" the 60-65% of Americans who reject Trump, assert themselves? The time is now.
