How is it that I live in "Free Florida" and I can't get the FDA-approved updated COVID vaccine people are getting in 34 other states?

1580 Floridians have died of COVID this year. An average of 6.5 people a day, every day.

And why the hell isn't the Florida media covering this atrocity?

I wish I could play this on loop for the people who told me he'd be great for small businesses.
Q: "Are you considering tariff relief for small businesses?"

Trump: "Why do you always mention, you know, a couple of little businesses. What about the car business?"

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important:

He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.
Donald Trump authorizes U.S. military to take control of land on southern border
President Donald Trump issued a memorandum Friday giving the U.S. military jurisdiction over federal lands at the southern border.

I've been exhausted since election day. Is it because I'm almost 40 or the existential dread of the next 4 years? Probably both.
