FL has a special election on April 1st, to replace two US House representatives.
In District 1, Gay Valimont is the running Democrat.

It's truly unfortunate that more "true" conservatives weren't more like Liz Cheney (country over party) and less like Mitch McConnell (party over country).

There’s a sort of Trump apologist, a relatively small but loud subset, who probably don’t realize or intend to be, but are so attached to a previous hyperbolic claim that they deny anything important changed.
-US was already an oligarchy

If genealogy is something you do, be aware.
It is clear that data critical to genealogy (and other disciplines) is being systematically stripped from federal websites. Census Bureau data IS being removed, and census data geeks at IPUMS verify and are taking whatever steps they can to preserve the data for the future. Scary times we live in.

Unsurprising, as Netanyahu is wanted by the ICC for war crimes. I wonder how long it’ll be until Trump is wanted for war crimes too?

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.
