Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year.

I’ve got the @miamiherald.com‘s blockbuster reporting on how DeSantis cheated needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds.

I'm a little surprised they didn't include the "death of mainstream media" but we lost some greats this year - and some not so great, as in, "I won't miss that asshole"

My take on people wearing face masks is very simple:

It's not my face, so I mind my own business.

That's it. That's the whole take.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

There’s been a change on when your mail will receive a postmark. Until 12/24 of this year it was when you dropped off your letter. Now it’s when a machine processes your mail which could be days later. This has implications for time sensitive mail including vote by mail! There are ways around it!

This might be the most wholesome business story you’ll read all year: A small-town Louisiana company sold for $1.7B — and the owner gave $240M to his employees.

540 people. Average bonus: $443K.

MAGA scums who had too much time and gasoline to waste, parked in front of the Gov. Walz’ house to insult his family. I hope those imbeciles will be identified and tried for hate speech.

Frankly, I have always wondered why more campaigns didn't do this. Constituent services are such an important part of good politics.
🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now.

This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!
Turning campaigns into mutual aid hubs isn’t good for campaigns or mutual aid! Your campaign manager should be entirely too busy to schlep around 5600 tampons!
