Do @TheDemocrats think it’s wise to keep telling their voters they lost their voting rights leading up to an election? Is there a chance a sliver of their constituents actually believe them and stay home.

Don't forget these people helped get our voting rights stripped.

@FloridaFedParty Does the house have a scullery kitchen and mini spa? That's luxury.
English
Florida is at a crossroads.
Migration is slowing. The middle class is getting priced out. Luxury is booming while starter homes have disappeared.
Median home ~ $420. Rates have doubled.
We didn’t run out of demand. We regulated affordability out of existence.
The path forward: gentle density.
ADUs. Duplexes. Triplexes. Smaller lots. Infill near jobs.
Bring back the missing middle… or watch the workforce leave.

The Florida growth story is showing cracks, largely because of misaligned policy choices and a lack of a statewide vision, according to Jeff Brandes, a former Florida senator, founder and president of The Florida Policy Project. businessobserverfl.com/news/2026/apr/…

I hope you’re proud of what you’ve done. You’ve disenfranchised Predominantly African-Americans districts in Belle Glade, Pahokee, South Bay, and Riviera Beach—taking predominantly Black communities and diluting their representation. Giving them MAGA representation knowing they will not get any support or resources.
I don’t know how you sleep at night. History has seen this playbook before, and it’s never aged well.
You may be fixated on tearing us down, but we’ve seen your kind before. Every attempt to silence us only makes us stronger.

@TayTayTayT67373 @bonchieredstate No, I’m saying justify your opposition to it removing it because it may benefit Boomers, even if it benefits everyone one else, is really dumb.
English
@FloridaFedParty @bonchieredstate Are you saying property tax is an anti-boomer tax?
English
You think Boomers don’t pay sales taxes?
Also, this too online stereotype that only Boomers own homes is dumb. I’m not a Boomer. I own a home. Most of my neighbors aren’t Boomers.
Upwards of 70% of 30-50 year olds own their homes in the U.S.
Decide whether you’re a conservative or just someone who likes progressive taxes when it’s convenient.

Shifting the tax burden entirely off of boomers so young families can shoulder it bad actually

@JackPosobiec They are official titles American Indians by the Federal Government.

The term "Native American" is also a misnomer as America did not exist prior to the arrival of the Europeans
The Rabbit Hole@TheRabbitHole
Many people (incorrectly) think Native American tribes lived in peace and harmony. The noble savage myth is merely a myth.

@bonchieredstate I don’t want to benefit if someone else doesn’t get hurt to make it happen

@bonchieredstate These anti-boomer taxes are right up there Bernie Sanders rhetoric. Replace “boomers” with “millionaires” and it’s the same script

Narrator: Lee wasn't all that great. He lost Gettysburg because of stupid mistakes. And when he faced an elite General (Lee) he got crushed.
Acyn@Acyn
Trump on Civil War: Why couldn't that have been settled? Maybe it could have been. Robert E. Lee was an amazing general. He took something that was supposed to end in a day and made it last four years. If Gettysburg didn’t happen, he would’ve won.

Don't stop with expanding the House. Expand the Senate as well. Give each state two more Senators appointed by the legislature along with the existing two popularly elected. This would not only get the states back at the table of the federal government but would give added incentive to huge states like CA and NY to break into smaller states and restore more balance to the electoral college.

@Jmayhugh28 I blame it on housing, not the other costs, which are high but would be manageable if housing wasn’t sucking thousands more a month out of discretionary spending and saving.
English
@malmesburyman It didn’t set an upper limit at 50k. It gave you an example of how the formula worked across a couple of iterations. It is a formula to apportion reps after each census. It continually increases district size.
Now it would be 1731 reps
English
If you don’t like gerrymanders, ratify the original first amendment, which set an upper limit of 50,000 people per US House district. 7,000 districts would be much harder to gerrymander than 435.
𝐃𝐔𝐓𝐂𝐇@pr0ud_americans
🚨 What if both parties went all-in on gerrymandering every single state, maxed out for whichever party controls it? The House would end up with 262 Republican seats to 173 Democratic seats. That’s not spin. It’s the outcome from FiveThirtyEight’s most aggressive redistricting simulation. Republicans control more state governments with multiple districts, and Democratic voters cluster in dense cities — making it easier to “pack” blue votes into fewer districts when the map-drawers want to. Even in a full-throttle, both-sides-do-it scenario, the math delivers a clear national edge. Fair maps matter. Independent redistricting commissions anyone? What do you think fixes this? 🇺🇸

@Skint_Eastwood1 The Bible is mostly a history book. It is the history of Gods interaction with man on the earth. If the world was destroyed, God would be back and his message would be the same but it would be with new individuals and their stories.
Also, science is God’s design

Ricky Gervais Drops Truth Bombs on Stephen Colbert in Epic Religion Debate 🔥
“There are about 3,000 gods. You believe in one, so you don’t believe in 2,999 gods… and I don’t believe in just one more.”
And on science vs religion:
“If we took any holy book or any fiction and destroyed it, in a thousand years it wouldn’t come back just as it was.
Whereas if we took every science book and fact and destroyed them all, in a thousand years they’d all be back, because the same tests would give the same results.”
Colbert’s reaction? “That’s good… That’s really good.”
Ricky is brilliant, always calm and explains his points so well.
Respectful debate done right. 👏🏻

@ChristianHeiens It sets a formula for apportionment that would result in 1731 seats
English
Perhaps the best path that Democrats would have to “ban gerrymandering” at the Federal level would be to get another 27 states to ratify the Congressional Apportionment Amendment, which would cap each House of Representatives district at 50,000 people.
It remains the only amendment that was originally part of the Bill of Rights to not be ratified, and it’s still technically pending before the states for approval or rejection.
50,000 people per district would be akin to having over 6,600 members of the House of Representatives. It would be functionally impossible to gerrymander districts that small, and we’d instead be dealing with an entirely different crisis on our hands.

This is concerning. Florida’s jobs numbers continue to get worse.
Unemployment shot up to 4.7% — higher than the national average.
Florida lost almost 38k jobs year over year in March.
