BOOM! POW! KABOOM!

Republicans in the Florida Legislature press the nuclear button on Wednesday and nuked Democrats' hopes that ballot drop boxes would continue to be used in future elections.

House Republicans adopted SB 90 and passed it 77-40.

How did Democrats respond in debate?

This says it all:

“Sometimes I feel I’m at the back of the room, at the back of the bus,” Rep. Ramon Alexander (D)

It was brutal. READ MORE

From the Basement to the House Floor…

President Joe Biden held his much-anticipated Joint Address to Congress Wednesday night to point out the Big Government and tax-happy agenda he has for America. Biden didn’t disappoint in pushing his Progressive agenda. Biden did however push for Americans to buy American.

Of course, Republicans had something to say about the address:

Sen. Rick Scott: READ MORE

Rep. Byron Donalds: READ MORE

Debbie Wasserman Schultz @DWStweets-Tonight President @JoeBiden showed the courage & grace that put him in the White House. And he's right: "America is on the move again. Turning peril into possibility. Crisis into opportunity. Setback into strength."

U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy @RepStephMurphy-Tonight President Biden articulated a bold and hopeful vision for our nation’s future. If we put country over party, I’m confident we can lend a hand to hard-working families, get struggling Americans back to work, and restore faith in our democracy.

Rep. Ted Deutch @RepTedDeutch-America is still healing from one of the largest challenges we’ve ever faced. Tonight, @POTUS will speak to the nation about the progress we've made to fight COVID-19, how we are helping our communities bounce back & the action we must take to address our most pressing issues.

US Rep Kathy Castor @USRepKCastor-Make no mistake: America has an incredible opportunity to build a healthier, stronger and more resilient nation. President Biden’s vision for good-paying jobs in clean energy and innovation is critical to America’s competitive edge and ambitious #ClimateAction now.

Congresswoman Kat Cammack @RepKatCammack @SenatorTimScotts speech was right-on. Kids need to be in schools, our economy needs to grow, government should not be the center of our lives, and we must have difficult conversations. Conservatives can lead the way. And you’ll see why in 2022.
