Donald Trump fired me for standing up to his abuses of power six years ago to the day.
That fight isn’t over. I’m running to stand up for Floridians who are sick and tired of a rigged system and costs going up while DC politicians like Donald Trump get rich.

Voting blue is not about "rewarding" politicians who you may not be 100% enthusiastic about.
It's not even really about you OR the individual person you are voting for.
Voting blue is about preventing fascists from doing whatever they want to the country and the world.
Don't get it twisted.

If you are not "enthusiastic" about voting blue this year?
Then you better GET enthusiastic.
There is no excuse for not doing so.
Not one good reason to let republicans continue to control the U.S. government.

If there's one benefit from all the Republican criminality and corruption it's that you never have to treat them like good faith interlocutors again. Every currently living Trump accomplice should be treated at most to a reflexive "Eat Shit" for life, and that's better than they deserve

This is really crucial in understanding today's right wing: it is an arena in which you can get attention, and become famous, without any skill or insight or knowledge. All you have to do is say outrageous shit.

Learned from the Posting Through It podcast just how many MAGA-era influencers turned to politics after failing at more glamorous pursuits — theater, comedy, fashion, TV, movies, music. Knowles, if I’m not mistaken, had dreams of Broadway.

Some of the protest signs are similar to anything else you’d see since the start of Trump 2.
Others are directed at the concentration camp guards inside.

This is not only brazenly corrupt. It is sick, twisted and egomaniacal. The time is long overdue for sane Republicans to stand up to Trump.
