It does not sound as if DeSantis is good for business or education or much else really.

Ron DeSantis' is:
- Killing Florida's hospitality industry
- Killing Florida's tourism industry
- Killing Florida's Education system
- Killing Florida's construction industry
- Killing Florida's real estate market
- Killing free speech
- Waging war on Florida's largest employer and tax payer
- Waging war on gays
- Waging war on teachers
- Waging war on immigrants
- Starting his own private army

What a piece of 💩

@gwfoto they do like being entertained and apparently Trump is more entertaining than DeSantis who only has culture wars to run on. He’s as personable as a wet noodle but scary to normal people who want the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution as amended several times. We don’t need to go backwards. Pence doesn’t have anything. He sucked up to Trump until January 6th. Don’t trust any Republican that served in his administration or oh all Republicans. Joe is fine.

Good advice.

What are Jim Jordan's congressional accomplishments over the last 16 years?

That's a tough question. I mean, he has accomplished a lot of things, like:

- Wearing a jacket only when absolutely necessary
- Yelling at witnesses during hearings
- Spreading conspiracy theories about the 2020 election
- Being one of Donald Trump's most loyal defenders
- Getting sued by former wrestlers for ignoring sexual abuse allegations

So yeah, he has been very busy and productive. I'm sure his constituents are proud of him.
