Feds are still stuck in the Republican Shutdown.

Here in Gainesville we’re too busy delivering value to you and representing your values to get caught up in that foolishness.

Cities deliver.

Why didn’t Trump sue Elon Musk?

If they don’t sue it’s all true

Don’t tell anyone, but I’m way more interested in salvaging the Square Deal, New Deal and Great Society programs that created modern America than I am in the Epstein files.

Re the president’s remarks from the “bipartisan” event in Iowa, as FDR said, “I welcome their hatred.”

I do not return it, because that isn’t good for me. But if that’s the way anyone needs to feel, I guess they need to work through their own stuff.

Everybody hates the Big Ridiculous Bill. It’s deeply underwater in public opinion.

Everyone who votes for it must be held accountable at the polls next year. Don’t let anyone forget.

At his inauguration, Trump took a solemn oath to "preserve, protect, and defend" the Constitution AS IS.

Now, he says he "doesn't know" if he has to follow Constitutional requirements.

Well, America knows.

He does.

Now, let's see who will make him do it.

“Martial,” as in law or arts, is a modifier denoting a military or combat connection. “Marshall” is a title or an office.

If you gotta write about it, get it right.
