Hey Florida - it’s easy to track who is declaring themselves for various races in the upcoming Midterms. My FL House district doesn’t have a Dem challenger to Bankson yet. But I’m thrilled that there are opponents to Webster for US District 11!

Ah yes embezzling of funds meant for Medicaid and Medicare that should have gone to Floridians laundered and made a horrible system that has failed us all. Scott the patron saint of stealing, mediocrity, and horcruxes. For his next trick he’ll steal candy from babies and kick dogs to impress Noam.

Democrats just MASSIVELY overperformed in 2 Florida special elections.
House 40: Harris +35 → RaShon Young +50 (75–25).
Senate 15: Harris +23 → Lavon Bracy Davis +45 (73–27).
That’s 15- and 22-point swings toward Democrats.

I've been keeping up with all declared races on the official State of Florida Elections website. Currently, there are 7 US Congressional Districts in Florida without a Democrat running. It's obviously early & more candidates are to be expected. But here are the 7 so far needing Dems:

When you understand that Christian nationalists are changing the public’s beliefs around empathy, specifically calling it a sin and harmful, it’s so much easier to see how MAGA is so angry, callus, and inhumane. Imagine believing that your biblical teachings are incongruous with love and empathy.

There's a growing movement, among some conservatives, pushing back against traditional notions of empathy. What's behind it, and what might it mean, especially for Christian conservatives?
