Always Be Grifting:

The Trump campaign sent two emails on Wednesday asking supporters to get on board with carrying the red-and-gold cards, which look like credit cards and bear the former president’s signature.

“The card you select will be carried by Patriots all around the Country,” the first email said. “They will be a sign of your dedicated support to our movement to SAVE AMERICA, and I’m putting my full trust in you.”

The Trump team said in a follow-up email, “We’re about to launch our Official Trump Cards, which will be reserved for President Trump’s STRONGEST supporters.”

The minimum donation to get one is $50.

My sweet dark lord…. How many times can this possibly be delayed?? Didn’t the Supreme Court already rule on this? And I thought he was eager to turn it over as soon as the audit was done? Why are there separate rules for this guy?

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team formally stepped into a long-running fight over a US House request for his tax returns, claiming Trump’s financial history is being unfairly pursued for political reasons by Democrats and seeking to end House Ways and Means Committee investigations into the ex-President and his companies.

The Justice Department last week determined that the Internal Revenue Service must hand over Trump’s tax returns to Congress, but a federal judge is still considering what could happen.

Bad. Very bad.

ORLANDO, Fla. – A day after the state recorded the most new daily cases since the start of the pandemic, Florida on Sunday broke a previous record for current hospitalizations set more than a year ago before vaccines were available.

The Sunshine State had 10,207 people hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 cases, according to data reported to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

The previous record was from July 23, 2020, more than a half-year before vaccinations started becoming widespread, when Florida had 10,170 hospitalizations, according to the Florida Hospital Association.

Gov. Mini Trump who is actively cheering Covid on, is now breaking records for covid infections:

In the absence of any leadership from Governor DeSantis and a record 21,683 new daily COVID-19 cases in Florida yesterday, I’ll be holding another media briefing tomorrow, Sunday, at 2 PM.

Watch live on the @floridachannel and we’ll also post it here. Stay safe.

The “Pro-Life” party really is working overtime to get people killed. I guess this pro-choice stance they suddenly have found will also extend to a woman’s reproductive rights?

MADISON – A Republican-controlled committee plans to block the University of Wisconsin from instituting COVID-19 testing, masking and vaccination protocols on campuses across the state, a move that comes as health officials sound warnings about the rapidly spreading, highly contagious delta variant.

State Sen. Steve Nass said Wednesday that he would be moving to require the university to get approval from the Legislature before enacting any virus-related regulations. Nass co-chairs the Legislature’s GOP-controlled rules committee, which Nass said will vote remotely Tuesday to block UW virus protocols without a public hearing.
