Every election is a choice and last night's Congressional primaries in Florida set up stark contrasts in #FL06 #FL16 #FL18 #FL25 #FL26 #FL27. #flapol #sayfie #RedToBlue

👇Let's go through them one at a time...👇
In #FL06 voters get to choose between @MichaelGWaltz who is already calling for Medicare & Social Security cuts & @nancysoderberg a #NatSec expert who sounded the early 🚨 on Bin Laden & has spent years teaching the next gen of leaders w/ @UofNorthFlorida dccc.org/case-michael-w…
In #FL16 voters get to choose between owner of @Vernsyacht, Vern Buchanan, and @Shapiro4FL16 who has stood with working Floridians against abuses from insurance companies & big corporations his whole career. dccc.org/case-rep-vern-…
In #FL18 voters get to choose between @BrianMastFL, who undermined protections for people with preexisting conditions & @laurenbaer who has focused her campaign on making healthcare more affordable & accessible to those in need. dccc.org/case-rep-brian…
In #FL25 voters get to choose between Mario Diaz-Balart, who has been the gun lobby's lapdog, and @MBFforCongress whose work as a public defender & judge show that she will stand on her community's side, not with special interests. dccc.org/case-rep-mario…
In #FL26 voters get to choose between two-faced Washington politician @CarlosLCurbelo & immigrant, former @FIU associate dean, and all around badass @DebbieforFL who will fight for her community in Congress. dccc.org/case-rep-carlo…
And in #FL27... We look forward to welcoming @DonnaShalala to Congress. dccc.org/dccc-chairman-…
These are exceptionally strong candidates.

🚨 🚨 First #TX07 general election polling shows @Lizzie4Congress within 2-points of 9-term Washington politician @johnculberson. #Switchthe7th

Underneath the hood, the warning signs compound for @JohnCulberson

"Congressman Culberson has a net-negative favorability (-7 pts), with only 32% of voters having a favorable view to 39% who have an unfavorable view."
That's a stark contrast with @Lizzie4Congress 14-point net-positive favs, a rough 2-to-1 ratio (30% to 16%)

SCANDAL #7
It’s official, FL bill HB 631 is now a law and could affect a beach near you even if you don’t live in Florida. Walton County residents were out in droves yesterday (July 1st) to protest this new law, signed by Governor Rick Scott last month.
wjhg.com/content/news/W…
This new #Florida law invalidates local municipalities' #customaryuse ordinances and effectively locks the general public out of using the best parts of Florida’s beaches—unless they can afford to rent (or buy) beachfront property. Lawsuits are pending. #standyoursand
🚫HB 631 bans local municipalities from adopting ordinances to regulate public access to Florida’s beaches above the mean water line.

⁉️But first, where’s the mean water line?

💥In short, it's where everyone wants to sit when they're at the beach.

Dear #Miami Democrats

The movement to #AbolishICE - which #FL27 candidate @matthaggman supports - isn't just a symbolic maneuver and @Ocasio2018's victory on that platform isn't just a "mood."

ICE's most important agents agree.

#TheResistance

washingtonpress.com/2018/06/29/19-…
"It says a lot about the mood in that district," former Health and Human Services secretary @DonnaShalala, a Clintonite

This is exactly what #Republican-lite looks like in #FL27

Thoughtless

Mindless

Clueless

Slavish

Obedience to the status quo

miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
#Miami voters don't need someone whose entire policy agenda is an unreasoning mood.

They need someone who will look under the hood of any problem and understand why it causes so much emotion.

And address it.

Trump broke ICE.

19 Top ICE Agents agree.

Last August Sessions directed Rod Rosenstein to set up a new FBI Counterintelligence unit of crack agents tasked SOLELY to hunt down leakers of classified information. In the DOJ. In the State Dept. IN CONGRESS.

This is PUBLIC INFORMATION.
Wolfe's indictment revealed the the entire ABC News Brian Ross fiasco was a LEAK HUNT.

Ross's source passed on FAKE INFORMATION he/she was given by the leak hunters.
AGAIN, THE INDICTMENT MAKES THIS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.

Now here's something that hasn't been admitted yet, but something I'm 100% positive about:

The Don Jr./WikiLeaks email encryption key news report fiasco was ANOTHER LEAK HUNT.

BREAKING: For over a year, the Florida Dept of Agriculture failed to conduct background checks on tens of thousands of concealed weapons permit applications. As Commissioner of Agriculture, this failure should end @adamputnam’s gubernatorial campaign and career TODAY. #flapol
.@adamputnam’s office was unable to log into the system to perform background checks during the biggest spike in permit applications in Florida’s history. As a result, criminals may have received Florida permits to carry hidden, loaded handguns in public.

tampabay.com/florida-politi…
.@adamputnam made it a priority to speed up issuing concealed weapons permits since his election in 2010. In 2012 he celebrated the state's one millionth permit, noting the time it took to process an application fell from 12 weeks to 35 days on his watch.

Continuing my thread from yesterday...
SCANDAL #4
When Rick Scott became Governor in January of 2010, he began a campaign to privatize 30 South Florida prisons and hired Edwin Buss as the Secretary of the Florida Department of Corrections.
“It was one of the most aggressive private prison expansions in the history of the United states, maybe the most aggressive,” Edwin Buss said. While governor, Rick Scott has been through 5 Secretaries of the Florida Department of Corrections (FDOC).
Rick Scott also wanted to privatize the health care services of inmates. He hired Elizabeth Gondles to oversee it, but she had to resign over a conflict of interest: her husband was married to the head of the only organization that accredits prison medical services in the nation.
