That we live in such an upside down world that he has to go to court to ensure the safety of school children during a pandemic. Good for him.

But Pritzker is sharp.

He's smart enough to realize that if he get's a ruling NOW he can short circuit the bullshit Pro-Spread party before the school year starts

Of course he was too smart for his own good, which explains why he’s now a Democrat.

Unfortunately I’ve been a Florida resident since 2001 and yet to have experienced an actual Democratic governor.

But I have hopes for maybe Nikki Fried or Val Demmings in 2022. (One can take Governor, and the other can try to take Rubio’s Senate seat.)

I've been so impressed with his leadership and his humanity. He is also one tough cookie. The RWNJs hate him, of course. He has enacted many progressive policies. I've lived here since 1981 and he has been the best Governor by far.

The way this man has come through, he can be governor for life if he wants so far as I am concerned.

Now if we could just get rid of our Republican legislature.
