Presumably not a GOP meeting. That's a firefighter union.

Firefighters are infinitely better than cops

Polls are polls — they aren’t predictive; they’re a snapshot in time — but this isn’t an especially pretty picture for the GOP.

The down ballot contests are vital. To defeat Trump and Maga for good, the democrats need to win the White House, enhance a wafer thin majority in the senate and take control of the House of Reps.

With the GOP trying their best to deprive them of their vote.

Florida state parks whistleblower fired after exposing Ron DeSantis’s plans

James Gaddis tanked Florida governor’s secretive scheme to build hotels and golf courses over acres of preserved land

www.theguardian.com

Florida's department of environmental protection has fired a whistleblower who exposed and sank governor Ron DeSantis's secretive plan to pave over environmentally sensitive state parks and build lucrative hotels, golf courses and pickleball courts.

James Gaddis, who worked for the agency for two years as a cartographer, was terminated for "conduct unbecoming a public employee", according to a letter he received on Saturday.


His leaking of the proposals sparked a furious backlash that united Republicans with Democrats and environmental advocates, and forced DeSantis into a humiliating climbdown last week in which he admitted the plans were "half-baked" and were "going back to the drawing board".

Speaking with the Tampa Bay Times on Monday, Gaddis said preservation of the state parks was more important to him than his position.
