'Unforeseen Tragedy' Causes DeSantis to Cancel Fundraiser
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) had to pull out of a fundraiser for New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin (R) because of an “unforeseen tragedy,” the New York Post reports.
Said a spokeswoman: “An unforeseen tragedy forced Governor DeSantis to reschedule his trip to New York. While we’re rescheduling with Governor DeSantis for a later date, tonight’s fundraiser will proceed and is expected to raise almost a million dollars.”

Everytime a Repub man opens his mouth about women's bodies, 10 new female voters get their wings.
The Men Just Keep TalkingThere is something happening with angry women voting on abortion. Male politicians don’t seem to have noticed.
BY DAHLIA LITHWICK
Long after the time had passed for male GOP officials to stop, to just stop, pretending they know or understand anything about female anatomy, reproductive organs, medical emergencies and basic preventative health care, they have continued to talk. They have continued to talk and talk and talk even when the massive blowback after the Dobbs decision proved it was an error; Kansas proved it was an error; and after the surprise election of Pat Ryan in a New York special election proved it was an error. Every time a Republican man opens his mouth to talk about women’s bodies, ten new female voters get their wings. Yet somehow, they cannot seem to stop themselves!

It’s not mere coincidence that new polling shows that “threats to democracy” is suddenly ranked as the number one issue for registered voters. It rolled in at 21 percent, this week, overtaking the economy, crime, and abortion. When you are repeatedly being told by those in power that your preferences don’t matter and when those in power believe that saying the quiet parts out loud is electorally costless, they aren’t just saying that women don’t matter. They’re saying democracy doesn’t matter either. But it turns out they don’t get to decide that. You do.

Exonerate Trump...from what??
Exonerate Trump…from what?? My dude, the presence of ANY GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS at Mar-a-Lago is illegal. A crime. Classified just makes it worse. The content of them is not going to help Trump, only potentially make the charges worse if it’s NDI. How are you this dumb

"Guilty!" the crowd thundered back again and again.
But this time, it sounded different. Christie looked down and to his left, at the enormous California delegation, momentarily distracted. Or perhaps it was Pennsylvania, Ohio or Maryland delegates. They were chanting.
His eyes narrowed for a moment, seeking out the disruption. But then a smile slowly took over his face. He nodded as he figured out what they were saying. The chant swelled to a roar, and delegates began standing up from their seats. They waved their red, white and blue “Trump” signs. They shook their fists. They screamed and hollered and made the building shake, in that now-familiar three-beat chant:
“Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!”

Never, ever, lose sight of who these people really are and what they really believe
DIGBY:
They want to end Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, all education funding, and more. Remember, the head of the Senate Campaign Committee Sen. Rick Scott put out an agenda that said Social Security and Medicare — all discretionary spending — re-approved by congress every 5 years. If they can get enough Blake Masters’ in with Ron DeSantis at the helm they can get that done.

People have asked me my opinion of President Biden's criticism of "semi-fascism."
People have asked me my opinion of President Biden's criticism of "semi-fascism." Well, I can't overstate my disapproval of the inappropriate use of "semi."
