#Politics For those so inclined, here's the link of the #DeSantis/#Elon Twitter Spaces chat at 6 PM EDT ... Click on the image to see three dots in the upper right. If you click on the three dots it says, "Report This Space." It would be a real shame if hundreds of people did that in the next half hour ...

The fact that some of the new jobs in the Disney project were expected to be transferred from California also undercut a narrative central to the DeSantis platform that businesses and citizens are fleeing liberal areas for a dynamic state dubbed “DeSantisland” by his supporters and which he calls “the free state of Florida.”

#Politics If you want to fry your brain, here's today's #NASA budget hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and several other Republican senators bashed the agency, claiming it's gone "woke." 🙄 They really have nothing else, so they make this up.

"They're either currently in court, they're currently in jail, or they're currently missing."

#Politics #CNN might have thought that telecasting live last night's #Trump Bund rally would get them ratings from the MAGA demographic.

Perhaps, but the only reason ratings matter is to attract advertisers.

I suspect most advertisers were horrified by what they saw last night and want nothing to do with it.

So fine, let CNN have their ratings spike. It will backfire when no one wants to run ads with them.

#Politics If #CNN had been around in the 1930s, they would have called this a "town hall." #Trump

#Politics This was #CNN's finest hour, when it won the respect of the entire world for its coverage of Operation Desert Storm.

Last night, CNN became a global embarrassment for its #Trump "town hall" fiasco.

How the mighty have fallen.
