@BiancaJoanie⁩ ⁦@MiamiHerald⁩ more info:

It all started in January 2019 with then-Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL-20) and new ⁦@GovRonDeSantis⁩.

1/

With 3 vacant South Florida seats, Democrats start 2022 session in even weaker posture
miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
Rep. Hastings responsibly announced his pancreatic cancer diagnosis in the @washingtonpost.

He should not have sought re-election in November 2020.

Maybe @SpeakerPelosi @HouseDemocrats @FlaDems @browarddems @PBCDemParty so urged him, I don’t know.

He chose to run again.

2/
@Sheila4Congress responsibly challenged him in the Democratic primary, which Rep. Hastings won.

He also won the November 2020 General Election in this Democratic-dominated district.

I am satisfied that his constituents knowingly re-elected him.

3/
Unfortunately, Rep. Hastings’ illness worsened and he passed away in early April 2021, less than 100 days into the term.

To be honest, this was no surprise.

Nor were this Governor’s anti-democratic, and anti-Democratic, tendencies, hidden.

4/
I was surprised by the complaints re the unusual delays in the Governor setting dates for the Special Election, especially as @BrowardVotes @votepalmbeach didn’t endorse standard dates used elsewhere in Florida:

Primary August 24, 2021

General November 2, 2021.

Simple

5/
Re the #Florida legislative session, well, @browarddems @PBCDemParty had lots of candidates for a safe seat, and zero sense of duty or realistic assessment of one’s chances of winning.

The Governor is still un-democratic.

All the more reason for all to think strategically.

@MarkSKrikorian @CIS_org Let’s be honest:

We know @USDOL @SecMartyWalsh won’t do anything, and won’t care.

How do we know that?

@POTUS has nominated for a Senate-confirmed position at the Labor Department Mr. @JoseJavierJJR of #Florida.

He’s a former State Senator, @FLSenateDems.

1/
@MarkSKrikorian @CIS_org @USDOL @SecMartyWalsh @POTUS @JoseJavierJJR @FLSenateDems He lost his November 2020 campaign by a handful of votes; this involved “ghost candidates” or “mystery candidates” in three Senate districts, including his #SD37.

His independent (NPA) mystery candidate didn’t live in the district, as claimed on his campaign filing documents. 2/
@MarkSKrikorian @CIS_org @USDOL @SecMartyWalsh @POTUS @JoseJavierJJR @FLSenateDems The obvious question:

When did JJR’s team first check out the #SD37 NPA mystery candidate’s claimed residence address?

June 12, 2020 filing deadline

July

August

September

October?

After he lost, journalists - no subpoena required - knocked on the door.

@jbarro That’s the whole point.

They just have consultants to help them to prove that they pretend to care.

No such consultant has ever actually completed a project and solved the problem, because the problem cannot be solved.

1/
@jbarro If a solution existed, it would have been identified and implemented long ago.

Very similar to @DeptofDefense and sexual harassment, or at least allegations.

Lots of turnover of young adults means the problem will never solve itself or go away.

2/
@jbarro @DeptofDefense Effective leadership means punishing one’s friends, and nobody wants to do that.

Even the @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris Administration hasn’t appointed DASD Lorena Bobbitt to focus on women’s empowerment, direct action, and solidarity.

So they just go through the motions.

@browardpolitics⁩, Rep. Hastings responsibly announced his pancreatic cancer diagnosis January 2019.

Congressional candidate Cherfilus-McCormick’s long delayed financial disclosure shows $6.4 million-plus in 2021 in… sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/…
@SpeakerPelosi
@HouseDemocrats
@FlaDems
@browarddems
@PBCDemParty

should have urged him not to seek re-election; maybe they did that.

He ran again, was re-nominated, and re-elected, and died within the first 100 days of his last term.

2/
#Florida knew that @GovRonDeSantis was a snake in Spring 2019, so his unconscionable delay in setting up the special election is unfortunately no surprise.

@BrowardVotes @votepalmbeach didn’t help; they should have gone with the standard August primary and November general.

@RayTLee3 @walterolson @walterolson

The right claims lots of voter fraud but actual examples are almost nonexistent,

The left insist that Photo ID disenfranchises voters, but media never interview actual examples: adult American citizens (by definition) without Photo ID.

1/
@RayTLee3 @walterolson Maybe some nonagenarian nuns in Indiana, but that’s it.

High-powered Harvard professor claims 700,000 voters in Texas lack Photo ID, but hasn’t personally met a single one.

Seriously and confirmed.

Easy explanation for people moving between states.

2/
@RayTLee3 @walterolson Many Americans think Motor Vehicles and the Elections Office link drivers license and voting records.

Not true.

Motor Vehicles sends information to the Elections Office but it’s one-way, no follow-up.

Person moves out of state, gets new DL and registers to vote there.

@consulardude @LuisMorenolg @CDCgov Sure. Slightly snarky, but here goes:

Decades ago, Soviet Communism knew that they could not directly confront the United States and the West, and win, so they decided on an indirect approach.

They needed to make our national security professionals ineffective.

1/
@consulardude @LuisMorenolg @CDCgov So, they decided to infiltrate communist operatives into the US Government, not as spies to pass information, but in the support functions:

Personnel
Travel
Financial Management
Computers
Inspector General
Security
etc.

to totally constipate the support functions.

2/
@consulardude @LuisMorenolg @CDCgov This would force national security professionals to use more of their precious time - each of us only has 168 hours each week - to engage re internal support functions, and less re confronting our adversaries.

Recruit to develop a similarly unhelpful organizational culture.
