A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.
"It turns out, the state did conduct its own [environmental] assessment months ago, which concluded that 'with possible exceptions of air quality, no significant adverse impacts' were anticipated from the operations of the tent facility."

So, are folks gonna start putting those little “I did that!” stickers on gas pumps with Trumps face on it, the way they did with Biden or naw?

Graphic announcing the start of Daylight Saving Time at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8. Two clocks with an arrow illustrate “spring forward.” The graphic encourages preparedness while changing clocks: do a fire drill at home, replace the batteries in a NOAA Weather Radio, and replace the batteries in smoke detectors. NOAA logo appears in the corner.
Daylight Saving Time begins at 2am tonight for those of you that applies to, so turn clocks ahead one hour before bed if they don't do it on their own, in addition to doing a few other things you can do to keep your family safe this season.

56% of Floridians support cuts in property taxes.
And 95% of the 56% will be the first ones whining and complaining when trash pick up is scaled back or when their libraries aren't open on the weekends or when the mosquitoes are thick because no one is spraying or when their parks look like crap.
"...more than five years later — and years after Congress ordered a memorial honoring the officers be installed at the Capitol — workers placed the plaque inside the building they protected from a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters intent on overturning his 2020 election loss."

I have no idea who actually composes these posts but the fact that the President of the United States of America is fine with this kind of stuff being broadcast to the world should be reason enough for everyone, Republicans and Democrats, to seriously question his fitness to hold office.
"Donald Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal."

If this legislation is passed, it would be wonderfully ironic if the racist and antisemitic TPUSA kids and college Republicans who recently got some well-deserved media attention happened to qualify for the state's 'terrorist organization' designation.

"Moon Over Miami"
Ray Charles
‘Moon Over Miami’ Written by tourist The woman was walking across the lobby of the Sonesta Beach Hotel on Key Biscayne and from the Muzak speakers came the strains of “Moon Over Miami.” She stopped, listened intently and then announced to everyone around, “My father wrote that song.” They asked her to tell the story. Mrs. A. R. Favor, of Philadelphia, is like her father, Joe Burke, who died in 1950. Every winter he came to Miami for his vacation. She does, too. One night in 1936 when the moon was full and its shimmering light glittered through the palms and on the waters of Biscayne Bay, he drank in its romantic beauty and the inspiration came for the song. He wrote the music that evening and put in a rush call to Edgar Leslie to write the lyrics. Immediately “Moon Over Miami” became a hit and has been played all over the world.
In 1970, Herb Kelly of the Miami News provided a great story about Joe Burke's 1936 musical composition, "Moon Over Miami."

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Fort Lauderdale's South Florida Wildlife Center recently received a juvenile turkey vulture that had been stuck in a warehouse for 3 days. After some treatment for elevated lead levels in its blood, the bird was provided additional flight conditioning and released.
Safe travels, turkey vulture!
