The MAGA crowd is twisting themselves into pretzels saying Democrats support a dictator and that Trump has the authority to go into Venezuela without approval, Venezuelans are all celebrating in the streets, on and on. A short while ago, they were clapping for their deportation.

Had an interesting birthday dinner conversation with an old work friend tonight. He has absolutely no hope left for this country. He says as long as a large swath of our electorate is made up of ignorant, apathetic people that democracy will not survive. I pray he is wrong.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

So, I just read that electricity prices are expected to go up by more than 10% next year in Florida because of the GOP tax bill. Much of that increase will pay for utility operating costs. Why are we paying for that when the companies can also write these off on their taxes?

You are up to date.
