@wdlindsy It has not been very wide spread, but Willis has asked the judge to keep everything together, so if she is bringing forward a couple of the cases, they should all be brought forward, which would mean this whole thing kicks off in about 50 days.

Stay safe, Florida folks.

Remember, you cannot shoot the Hurricane.

I mean, you CAN but it only adds to its power.

If the hurricane gets your gun away from you, congratulations, you’ve just armed the hurricane.

Now it’s a natural disaster with an AR-15.

Key take-away...

"Meadows also conceded that he sent a text message to a Georgia election official asking if the state could speed up the ballot signature-matching process if the Trump campaign paid for it. That seems like a purely partisan/campaign communication."

Attention associate professors! This is just a gentle reminder to try to stay on top of getting promoted to full professor just in case a grad student murders you and CNN is left to their own devices to write this headline: "UNC graduate student charged with murder in fatal shooting of associate professor" @edutooters

Imagine if the US military was not allowed to negotiate prices on weapons.

Now replace "US military" with "Medicare" -- and replace "weapons" with "prescription drugs."
