Recap of #US / #USPol #News today...

#DonaldTrump:
"I don't like federal programs that help people who aren't rich, therefore, I will do my own Government Shutdown."

#Trump #voters:
"Wait... THAT'S MY FOOD STAMPS AND SOCIAL SECURITY!!"

The #Market / #Economy:
"Looks like I'm going to crash now." 🙂

#Republicans in #Congress over the course of the next couple hours:
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU SENILE NEPOBABY FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK."

The Courts at the end of that time:
"Yeah, no, he can't do that."

Reminder, the current job of Anti-Trump #Resistance is to lower his approval rating, so uh... I guess mock him for doing that?

Write your #Representative and #Senators. Complain that this is not helping the economy, and that this will directly harm your community.

The #governor of our state, #Florida, Ron #DeSantis, wants to finish destroying Florida's #environment and #tourist appeal by putting #hotels and #GolfCourses in our state #parks, where many extremely #endangered #species live.

This proposal to put manicured landscapes in parks will pour excess #nitrogen into the nearby waters, potentially creating #toxic #algae blooms.

We categorically condemn this nonsensical policy, and if you are a #Floridian, please call your state #representative, state #senator, and leave messages for #RonDesantis.

AP News · Floridians balk at DeSantis administration plan to build golf courses at state parksBy KATE PAYNE

#Irresponsible #Land developers #bulldoze dozens of #acres of #trees and #plants that hold the #topsoil in place. Massive #flooding is the logical consequence.
#LandDevelopers expect you to eat the #bill when they #flood your #house.

It is possible to develop land without stripping the ground to the bare earth and burning everything left, as shocking an idea as that may be.

But when the article leaves open the question of "Who's Paying When They Flood Your House?"

it's you. What are you going to do? #Sue them? You'll never recover enough to matter, especially after fees.

Their plan is to fuck over everyone around them and not care what happens as a result, and they answer, effectively, to no one.

Don't contact your #representative over #counties communicating, ask them to #ban this #dangerous and #destructive practice throughout the #state of #Florida.
