Ron DeSantis is galivanting around the country endorsing the most extremist anti-democracy, authoritarian Rs as if he didn't have a care in the world, as if he didn't win his prior election by a mere 0.33%, as if he's sure he's going to win re-election bc he's already rigged it
Republicans love authoritarian strong men; democracy does not.

Kari Lake says Desantis has ‘BDE,’ (Big Dick Energy), the same kind of BDE that Trump has. “He has the same BDE that we want all of our leaders to have.”

Election deniers are running to control voting. Here's how they've fared so far https://www.npr.org/2022/07/29/1113707783/election-deniers-secretary-of-state-arizona-finchem?utm_campaign=storyshare&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social
The Arizona Republican Party’s Anti-Democracy Experiment https://nyti.ms/3w0DRYc
Republicans want to gut public education and divert taxpayer money to private schools for big profits, this is how they destroy public schools. In Florida, being trained to kill (or even just their spouse) is all you need to teach in public school.

.@GovDeSantis@twitter.com on recruiting veterans to the teaching field: "Our veterans have a wealth of knowledge and experience they can bring to bear in the classroom. [...] For too long, the requirements to be a teacher have been too rigid." https://trib.al/1bPu78k

Newsweek reports that the documents Trump stole include payroll records for US spies.
Exactly the kind of thing for which Putin or Saudi Arabia would pay the Trump family billions.
Was there a bidding war the Saudis won with their $2 billion to Jared?

The anti-semite, homophobe, Nazi loving Pushaw gets to let her freak flag fly. You go Christina, show us what you really are. You'll do well being the head of DeSantis's brownshirts, the bully's head bully

Jonathan Turley explains the "oopsie" defense
RT @LisPower1@twitter.com
Turley: This was a very chaotic time - you had the January 6 riot, all the controversies, and then all these boxes being removed with the president. The ? is whether there was enough time to go through this process where you have to communicate with the IC to declassify material

How, in just 20 years, did we go from Saudis underwriting 9/11 to an ex-POTUS likely selling them classified U.S. nuclear information?
This headline, tho.
Trump is under criminal investigation for potential violations of the Espionage Act

Trump always admits his guilty by projecting it on to others.

You know something is true when Trump calls it a "hoax."
Ron DeSantis has made it legal in Florida to run over protesters with your car. All you have to do is claim you felt threatened. There's no place for DeSantis in Florida
RT @RepValDemings@twitter.com
A young woman named Heather Heyer was killed five years ago today in Charlottesville by a violent white nationalist. This ideology has no place in the greatest nation on earth. I am continuing to work in Congress to combat violent extremism and keep our communities safe.

Hiding evidence, like top secret documents, in your ex-wife's casket and then burying it on your golf course for a tax benefit is something I could see in The Sopranos of Breaking Bad. That wouldn't happen IRL.
