@AGPamBondi @SenRickScott In the time of Arctic Frost, there are other ways people are abused by the system — by paid informants who double back and use their access to destroy lives. I was an innocent spouse, and six years later the DOJ/FBI let a career criminal use lawfare to run me into the ground financially, threaten my home, and harass me repeatedly — all while living off the land as a “professional informant.” My ex prosecuted him lawfully. Then the FBI organized a sting op to clear this person for a West Coast OCEDFT case. Fine — that’s your business. But why is he getting my phone records? I’ve been divorced for over five years and separated for six. Stop this. This was intended to destroy me — and it almost did. I did everything I was supposed to do, and I was left on the field to bleed out. I don’t appreciate it. (PS-CJ case reversed on Appeal) @StevePatTU re: Siegmeister, Osteen, Tong

BREAKING: MASSIVE line outside FOOD BANK in Cleveland, Ohio.

We hear you. We are laser focused on ensuring the American Dream for YOUNG PEOPLE and that can only happen on the economic level of homebuying. A 50 Year Mortgage is simply a potential weapon in a WIDE arsenal of solutions that we are developing right now. STAY TUNED!

Trump proposes 50-year mortgage to help affordability housingwire.com/articles/tru…

Thanks to President Trump, we are indeed working on The 50 year Mortgage - a complete game changer.

I’m hardly a Schumer admirer, but accountability matters; the shutdown and resulting state failures trace back to GOP maneuvers, not Democratic policy.

Interesting how his campaign “grift” isn’t getting airtime this round. Feels less like oversight and more like quiet recalibration.

The irony is that many “Conservatives” function as decentralist offshoots of the Sovereign Citizen mindset—perpetual opposition without governance. The Uniparty, for all its cynicism, at least concedes through action that America is, indeed, an empire.

If the ABA’s in First Amendment trouble, maybe it’s time to let non-ABA law degrees count too. Fair trade, given the tuition inflation.

Between this and the recent shutdown, the pattern’s getting harder to ignore. Something deeper is moving under the surface.

Classic antitrust assumes collusion happens in boardrooms. Modern market power happens in data architecture. We keep using 1930s tools to fight 2030s problems.

Wow. Based on the line at the local food pantry by my house this might be the busiest arts market ever. I hope more local businesses choose to step up in this way.

What catches my eye is Mamdani’s Puerto Rico trip. If that overlaps with the Pro-Alianza/Bad Bunny-Venezuela coalition, it’s a whole different storyline—less about migration, more about who’s quietly building hemispheric alliances.

Campaigning with a Calculator: Florida’s CFO and the Mirage of “Overspending” Florida’s Chief Financial Officer has been campaigning under the banner of fiscal transparency, touting a formula that supposedly exposes “overspending” by county governments. It looks tidy on a slide deck: GF(FY25) > GF(FY20) × [(1 + ΔPopulation) × (1 + ΔCPI)] If a county’s General Fund grew faster than population plus inflation, the difference is labeled waste. That’s not forensic accounting; it’s arithmetic on totals. It doesn’t ask why a budget changed. It doesn’t factor in new deputies, case backlogs, storm repairs, or the expiration of one-time federal relief. It just measures growth and calls the rest “fat.” In poker terms, this isn’t a showdown, it’s a range read. Two cards sit face up: population and inflation. The rest: service mandates, debt costs, and one-time transfers never hit the table. Where the Math Breaks 1. Definition Drift “What counts” as the General Fund varies by county. Some include subfunds or transfers; others don’t. Swap definitions between baseline and current years, and your “overspending” number shifts by hundreds of millions. That’s not transparency; it’s sleight of hand. 2. CPI Cherry-Picking Florida runs on fiscal years (October to September). The CPI runs on calendar years. Pick the wrong slice—or the pandemic spike—and you shift the “allowed” line dramatically. Even using the wrong regional index can swing the story by millions. 3. Population Games Which population count? Which boundary? Use Census estimates for a county one year and city limits the next, and your math inflates the supposed “waste.” Jacksonville’s consolidated city-county is the classic example: count only city residents, and the ratio breaks instantly. The Seminole County Example Seminole’s FY25 adopted budget shows what this ratio test can’t: most of its growth comes from legitimate expansions—more deputies, new infrastructure, and the phasing out of pandemic funds. In other words, the spending matches the work. The Bottom Line The CFO’s “exposure” campaign isn’t analysis—it’s campaigning with a calculator. It takes a complex fiscal picture and flattens it into a bumper sticker. When the press echoes that without asking what’s underneath, we lose sight of what budgets actually are: reflections of service, safety, and shared responsibility. Arithmetic can’t tell you if a county’s priorities are sound. Only context can.

Well certainly don’t stop subsidies for ACA healthcare and push that very stable sector into the red too…our whole workforce is steadied on the healthcare industry and workforce right now.

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler. "He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!" Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child. Mother is detained by agents as the original target of arrest during the traffic stop—according to witnesses. "They kept saying we're going to put your kid in state custody if you don’t comply... so in the end she decided for the safety of my kid I'm just gonna go." "I was crying on and off every time I got an angle where I saw the kid. I started crying more because the baby was so confused." The incident occurred in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. #DemsUnited
