As a VACCINATED federal taxpayer in a state that has taken COVID19 seriously, I do not want my taxes to support an emergency that is the DIRECT result of Gov DeSantis policies and rhetoric.

Ask another Red state for help. Tired of bailing you out.
For example, I’m tired of federal financing hurricane repair in FL and TX when the states have piss-poor building regs & advertise low taxes. Just look at beachfront property in FL and floodplain sprawl in TX. You’re the party of “personal responsibility” - ACT LIKE IT dammit.
Wallet Hub has more on state dependency on federal dollars (taxes + borrowed $)

This red/blue state discrepancy showed up in 2004 as well

A woman has not led the state of NY as Governor.

Until now.

Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul is the state’s governor-in-waiting until 24 August 2021, per @nytimes

Currently, eight women are serving as US governors: AL,IA, KS, MI, NM, OR, SD

Women governors with more than a few days as acting governor (1909 and 1924), including NY Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul

1920s, two
1960s, one
1970s, two (1st elected on merit)
1980s, four
1990s, seven
2000s, 14
2010s, eight
2020s, one (soon)

Total 42 (44 with acting)
In the 1920s, two women were elected governor after their husbands had served (IOW, this nepotism is not new):

Nellie Tayloe Ross, WY
D, 1923-1924
Gov William B. Ross died

Miriam A. Ferguson, TX D, 1925-1927 and 1933-1935
Gov James Edward Ferguson was impeached in 1917

This still from @brinleyhineman video of Williamson County Schools Board of Education special session illustrates another reason Obama’s birthday “party” was worse than tone-deaf.

This is outside of Nashville TN

Here’s @brinleyhineman thread with two videos of #COVID19 anti-maskers disrupting the meeting.
The Williamson County Schools Board of Education will require masks for students, staff and visitors inside buildings and on buses. @Tennessean

Dear @Starbucks
Suggestion wrapped around a complaint. Followed by app #fail.

Mon - in-store order. Venti iced tea. Asked for cup to be half-full of ice. “Oh, you want extra ice.”

Wed - app order. Hesitate over “extra ice” but pick it. Cup is 100% full of ice. 😕😕😕
The @Starbucks app should treat ice like it treats liquid sugar, such as zero/half/full OR LET US TELL YOU.
Also, fire whomever screens @Starbucks app error messages.

Got this error when trying to place above order; added $20. Image

It’s the hypocrisy that sets my teeth on edge.
Republican Sens Jerry Moran (KS), Mike Rounds (SD), Todd Young (IN) cite “deficits” in opposing infrastructure bill (after having supported it).

DID THEY CARE ABOUT TRUMP TAX BILL DEFICITS IN 2017? HELL NO.
