Another full house at our October meeting. Many thanks to our guest speaker, Craig Latimer, Supervisor of elections. Shout out to our Get Out the Vote volunteers.

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers.

Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

Analysis | Government shutdowns have become normal. This one is not. Many of the actions of the administration have no precedent, which makes it a harder test of both sides.

Analysis: This government shutdown is different from any that have come before because President Trump is reveling in a legally shaky plan to punish his enemies — or more accurately, their constituents.

Pope Leo XIV has spoken out about abortion and the “inhuman treatment of immigrants” in the U.S., calling for Americans and Catholics around the world to show “greater respect for one another” in rare comments addressing Trump administration policies. https://wapo.st/4nzo9w2

Hysterical hyperbole? I would love to think so. But during seven weeks in the US this summer, I was shaken every day by the speed and executive brutality of President Trump’s assault on what had seemed settled norms of US democracy...

Free speech is essential to our democracy. This attempt to silence is a clear abuse of power.

@jimmykimmel.com Kimmel is an ally of our community, and a model of what it means to live the American Dream. Thank you, Jimmy.

My neighbors deserve easy access to their post offices for their prescriptions, bills and packages.

I urge the Postmaster General to keep the Apollo Beach Contract Postal Unit open and to provide an updated timeline on the opening of the Ruskin Post Office.

Cracker Barrel Was Never Real Americana The chain is a corporate behemoth masquerading as a mom-and-pop lunch counter.

Cracker Barrel is a culprit, not a victim, of the “dismal sameness seeping into much American life,” @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

Florida ranks 10th worst for home foreclosures with 9,607 properties at risk statewide Florida ranks 10th worst for foreclosures with 9,607 homes at risk. State has second-highest total foreclosed properties nationwide.

Florida ranks 10th worst in the nation for home foreclosures, with more than 9,600 properties at risk statewide.

What are Florida Republicans doing to fix this housing crisis? Nothing. Instead they are painting over rainbow sidewalks.

Live updates: 2 children are dead and 17 people injured in Minneapolis school mass shooting; gunman died of self-inflicted gunshot wound The city of Minneapolis said that there is no active threat at this time after a Wednesday morning shooting at Annunciation Catholic School.

I am heartsick over the horrific tragedy on the first week back to school at Annunciation Catholic in Minneapolis. I'm holding every student, parent, teacher, and everyone impacted in my heart.

We cannot become numb as gun violence continues to shatter our communities.
