Sadly, Florida is a lost cause. It’s embracing Trump, Musk, Vance, and Gov DeSantis is a combination of all three. Florida has been fascist for 6 years and it’s getting worse. DeSantis is going to create a DOGE agency to get rid of state workers. He is also creating his own “Gestapo” type police force. He already has around 800 people in training.
I live in a Dem area represented by 3 House MAGATS -- all who can flip. 2 of the 3 had been Dems, as recently as 2020. All are DEI -- Cuban Americans. All say they object to Trump policy re deportations, especially their own people, Venzuelans and Hatians. Ukraine adds to the pressure.
I send email and call our senators. Rick Scott sent me the following response:
Dear Mr. Solomon,
Thank you for contacting me regarding the war in Ukraine. I appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Russia is a cancerous, evil regime that threatens our national security by attempting to control as much of Europe and Eurasia as it can. It also supports the regimes in Iran, Communist China, Cuba, and Venezuela. All of them continually seek to harm the United States and force us into a position of dependence upon them for our livelihood. Vladimir Putin’s unjustifiable and unlawful invasion of Ukraine is just one more example of this fact. I believe that the United States must continue to stand strongly with Ukraine and provide the lethal military aid it needs to win this war. Putin’s murderous attacks are a threat to our national security and the security of our democratic allies.
While we must continue to support democracy in Ukraine, I will not allow Russia’s unjust invasion to deprioritize or slow progress on solving urgent domestic issues such as securing the border, fighting inflation and rebuilding our national defense. Congress can continue to act and solve these issues, which we owe to the American people.
As Florida’s U.S. Senator, and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I will continue fighting for allies around the world, while also ensuring we take care of our families here at home. I am proud to represent every citizen in Florida and I appreciate the time you took to provide your position on this matter. Should you have any additional questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.
I trust Rick Scott about as far as I can throw him. He is chair of the Special Committee on Aging & wants to cut Social Security & Medicare. It's a slap in the face that he even heads that committee considering his history of defrauding Medicare.
True but don't look a gift horse in the mouth. IMHO we are in an emergency situatiion. All hands on deck. He wears his Navy hat. Trump sold him out, too.
PURE CRAP! Maybe he should put his votes in line with his bs letter!
And btw, if Putin has his way . . . ‘The illegals crossing our border’ ain’t got nothing on what Krasnov and his Putin puppets will do to our children and grandchildren!
Interesting that I sent an email recently from Scott Dworkin’s site regarding protecting SS , Medicaire, Medicaid to my representatives, my Senators who are Democrats and congressional rep who is republican. I received responses back from my senators but not the republican. I didn’t really expect any response from the republican because I have contacted his office in the past to encourage him to pass legislation like the Pact act, infrastructure etc but all I got was a republican blah blah blah response. I live in SoCal so feel somewhat confident of Democratic leadership, love Governor Newsome , Padilla and Schiff. Expecting to get a republican rep to stand up to the rapey felon and actually govern for the people’s interests is hopeless now. The republican party is a protection criminal enterprise steeped in conspiracy theories and they are a bunch of lemmings.
Skin color won't route out the Ted Bundy's or the Michael McVays. We are a country of immigrants. And, we are a country of laws. We didn't vote for Musk and those who voted for Trump can't recall their votes. The only thing that can be done is fight peacefully and with purpose to unseat this administration of evil. From what we've seen so far at the town meetings Trump and his band of ignorant racists are not doing well. They will continue to falter as the cult realizes they are not safe.
Women being fired from the military as well as Aframerican, Dei no longer exists, companies can now fire women, transgender rights, Iowa governor removing gender identity, in Michigan a law maker wants too overturn same sex marriage. the list continues
Using the term “Final Solution” is a 3rd Reich plan…..scary times
Anything to keep America white.
Window of opportunity tio pressure Congressional Republicans.....
The only window for republicans is the one they should get pushed out of.

My heart aches for all the Democrats in Florida, including members of my own family. They have lived there since the mid-Eighties.

I only have red magas for my representatives
They never answer me
Mean, but reasonable under the circumstances. If they had any honour, they would jump.
Write. Call. Picket. Sit in.

Definitely agree with Ben re: final solution.
Yeah I caught that too. Scary esp coming from a bunch of saluting wyt supremacist megalomaniacs.
The final solution is the worst thought I have had in my entire life.
A handful of visuals I cant get out of my mind tgat I cant even mention hear because you wont forget them either.
Mass euthanasia of anything is a total failure, ground zero, the end...... of this only living planet in the Universe.
So I pray.
