It sure looks like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is trying to sabotage a legit abortion-rights protection amendment on the state’s ballot in November. The Tampa Bay Times has the deets on DeSantis’ latest sliminess: In a move that supporters of the amendment fear could be “political interference,” Gov. Ron DeSantis’ deputy secretary of state has asked supervisors in Hillsborough, Orange, Palm Beach and Osceola counties to gather roughly 36,000 signatures for the state to review. The signatures were among the nearly 1 million collected — and verified by local supervisors as belonging to real Floridians — to permit Amendment 4 to appear before voters in November.

    Jonathan Chait: “Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. That was true before an assassination attempt was foiled at his golf course Sunday, and it remains true after.
