Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. ~Paine #NeverTrump

Question:

Does this make Florida local government debt more expensive?

Bond investors love predictable revenue streams.

If property taxes become a recurring target for constitutional amendments or legislative changes, do counties and cities eventually pay higher interest rates to borrow?

Property tax relief on one side.

Higher borrowing costs on the other.

Has anyone modeled that?

I think this is one of the more overlooked second-order effects because most people are focused on taxpayers, counties, and Tallahassee. Very few are looking at how the municipal bond market reacts when the foundation of local government finance becomes less predictable.

The same people who said masks were "literally 1984" think this is fine.

NEW: Ken Paxton backed the DOGE cuts that weakened screwworm defenses and put Texas cattle at risk. https://t.co/5IwnvPhvSU

Collins: Do you agree with Trump saying he loved inflation?

Jennings: No, it was very inartful. I think he was saying the numbers are better today than under Biden.

Collins: The numbers were as bad as they were in 2023.

Jennings: You're arguing that inflation today or during trump's term is as bad as it was during Biden's term?

Collins: I'm saying that trump said he was going to come into office and lower inflation and it's higher today than it was when he took office.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

AZ and CO Farmers: you're directly in the line of fire of screwworm spread, and @repgabeevans and @RepCiscomani put you there. They voted with Trump and DOGE to cut the screwworm monitoring programs that meant to prevent what is happening to our agl communities.

Question:

Who is the biggest winner if Florida creates a massive state backfill fund?

The lobbyists.

Because once billions of dollars are controlled in Tallahassee, every county, city, sheriff, and special district has an incentive to send someone to ask for a bigger piece.

The money doesn’t disappear.

The battle over it just moves to the fourth floor of the Capitol.

For years, people have complained about local governments hiring lobbyists.

This proposal doesn’t eliminate that incentive.

It supercharged it.

Greene: If they were paralyzed and didn't know what to do about releasing the Epstein files, they don't deserve the American people's trust. They should be considered traitors.

Collins: Are you saying that that that applies to the president?

Greene: I’m saying exactly that.

Per the FBI, Trump knew and funded underage sex parties in Palm Beach.

[Steve Schale @steveschale]

This is America and anyone can run, but primarying @AllisonTantFL is just dumb. Not only are her Dem bonafides as good as any Dem, she is one of the most effective lawmakers in either party.

[Acyn @Acyn]

MacFarlane: What did you make of the president saying he loves inflation?

Welch: It’s pretty bizarre. He does not get what’s happening with everyday people. This is happening because of the war. He made a unilateral decision to go to war. He said yes to Netanyahu, and he said no to his own advisers.

He’s flailing, and there are no negotiations. It’s really about the president trying to get a face-saving outcome so he can make the assertion that we’re better off, but we’re nowhere.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump's former economic advisor just admitted on Fox News that inflation is being driven nearly exclusively by bad decisions that Donald Trump has made. Wow.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Tell me more about how you're going to run every local government from Tallahassee.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

why would trump's immigration policies contribute to the insolvency of social security? i was told that undocumented immigrants don't pay taxes

The problem of Kellyanne is that she not only understands the hypocrisy, but that she's an architect of normalizing it.

“I love the inflation.”

The gasp among GOP operatives registered on the Richter scale

[Dilan Esper @dilanesper]

A reminder that the USAID shutdown was a gross violation of the Constitution, and was permitted by the Supreme Court on the shadow docket for no valid reason at all (literally almost no serious scholars think POTUS can shut down a program funded by Congress).

[Andrew Feinberg @AndrewFeinberg]

Reporter: Are you concerned about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?

POTUS: "No, I love it. The numbers look great. I love the inflation."

[Jay Nordlinger @jaynordlinger]

The worst thing about lying about election results — “It was rigged!” — is that lots of people, in their innocence or gullibility, believe you, even if you know better and are just playing politics. Lies about elections weaken our democracy. Which I suppose is the point.

Brad Paisley urges his followers to sign a petition to stop the construction of a 69,000-square-foot data center that would be 50 yards from the Nashville Zoo, which he called “an absolute nightmare scenario” in an Instagram Reel. https://t.co/EmxKUw5oav
