Gov. Rick Scott’s anti-science purge begins: State employee banned for uttering ‘climate change’ A Florida state employee has been reprimanded and told not to come to work after Gov. Rick Scott’s (R) administration banned the use of the terms “climate change” and “global warming.” Earlier this month, reports said that officials in the Scott administration ordered Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) administrators not to use the terms in documents or meetings because they asserted that the climate science behind global warming was not a “true fact.” More

And Susie Madrak reported that Fetterman said the federal cases against Hunter Biden and the New York hush-money case against Trump were both “politically motivated” and deserving of pardons.
Entrepreneur and NYU professor Scott Galloway appeared on Morning Joe to talk about Mark Zuckerberg's total capitulation to Trump yesterday.
"What is so shocking -- I mean just from a personal standpoint, what's the point of having all this money if you aren't at some point going to show some fidelity as a 40- or 50-something year old man that has the wealth of the GDP of a Latin America nation, to actually standing up and showing some fidelity to American values?

MCENANY: Kennedy, there was some laughter when President Trump said the 501st state could be Canada.
