CNN: Republicans grow concerned about Trump's handpicked candidate in Florida special election this coming Tuesday.
Hope?
Still, the concern for Republicans — and the hope for Democrats — is that a tighter-than-anticipated finish would be viewed as evidence that Republicans’ agenda in Washington doesn’t come with a voter-backed mandate. Democratic strategists say that if Weil can get within 10-15 points of Fine, it will suggest the party’s base is motivated and voters are souring on Trump’s agenda.

Here's my crazy, crackpot, tin foil hat conspiracy theory about Putin and Trump.
You're about to read an incredibly dumb theory. It's not based on any facts, mostly vibes. So, here goes. Ready?
Putin is a former KGB agent. The KGB believes that Boris Yeltsin, an alcoholic and buffoon, was planted by American intelligence agencies to run Russia into the ground after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Yeltsin's presidency was a disaster. The Russian economy spiraled downward. NATO expanded to include Poland. Yeltsin pushed for privatization which gave rise to the oligarchs. There's a clip of President Clinton laughing at a press conference with Yeltsin.
Putin was in the government when all of this was happening. When he got to power, he turned the tables on us. He got an American version of Yeltsin, Donald J. Trump. Trump is Putin's revenge for Yeltsin.
I told you it was a dumb theory.
In early 1992, prices skyrocketed throughout Russia, and a deep credit crunch shut down many industries and brought about a protracted depression. The reforms devastated the living standards of much of the population, especially the groups dependent on Soviet-era state subsidies and welfare programs.[107] Through the 1990s, Russia's GDP fell by 50%, vast sectors of the economy were wiped out, inequality and unemployment grew dramatically, whilst incomes fell. Hyperinflation, caused by the Central Bank of Russia's loose monetary policy, wiped out many people's personal savings, and tens of millions of Russians were plunged into poverty.[108][109]

When our Sec. of Defense was a Black guy, classified information was never sent to a reporter on a group chat.
I don't want to bring race into this, but since Pete Hegseth has been bringing in race into this from day one, let's compare shall we?
Black Sec. of Defense = Never sent classified information to a reporter.
White Sec. of Defense = Sent classified information to a reporter.

CNN: Florida debates lifting some child labor laws to fill jobs vacated by undocumented immigrants
Florida has been working for years to crack down on employers that hire undocumented immigrants. But that presented a problem for businesses in the state that are desperate for workers to fill low-wage and often undesirable jobs.
Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state legislature have a potential solution: children.
The state’s legislature on Tuesday advanced a bill that would loosen child labor laws, allowing children as young as 14 years old to work overnight shifts. If the new law is passed, teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days. They are currently prevented from working earlier than 6:30 am or later than 11 pm per state law.

The continuing backsliding of America into a backwater. When a nation forces labor on your future instead of educating them, then it's no longer a great nation.
So, if the tariffs are now off, then how will the mfg jobs come back?
Trump and surrogates promised us that tariffs would bring back mfg jobs and provide revenue to the federal govt. Okay, but now that they're off again, how will those mfg jobs come back? And what about the revenue?
This is the secret of Trump's appeal. It can be whatever anyone wants at any given time. If you want free trade, Trump is your guy. If you want protectionism, Trump is your guy.
Update: Tariffs are back...sort of..
CNBC: Trump pledges auto, pharma tariffs in ‘near future,’ sowing more trade confusion
“We’ll be announcing cars very shortly,” Trump said at a Cabinet meeting. “We already announced steel, as you know, and aluminum.”
“We’ll be announcing pharmaceuticals at some point,” he said, “because we have to have pharmaceuticals.”
“So we’ll be announcing some of these things in the very near future, not the long future, the very near future,” Trump said

Remember at his SOTU and other press briefings that there was no way that he would change his tariffs stance? Well, now he's changing his tariffs stance.
