Ron DeSantis has now asked President Biden for the federal government to deliver 100% of the recovery from Hurricane Ian for 60 days.
DeSantis will then give Biden 0% of the credit.

Nice to hear tho that the reporter covering Trump discovered that he did and said racist things! Might have been good to know in the daily coverage! Would a reporter of color have handled that differently? Would the stories be framed differently?

The Republican party wants you to know that the student loan cancelation will cost $400 billion over the next 30 years.
What don't want you to know is their tax policies from JAN 2017 - JAN 2021 cost America $2 trillion in 1 year and $7.5 trillion in 4 years.

Vice President Harris could deliver some of the most salient remarks in American history, and these knuckleheads would still find a 10 sec. excerpt to take out-of-context. The standard she's being held to is impossibly high, and it's pretty ridiculous not to be honest about that.
