Mike Johnson and Donald Trump to promote bill to prevent non-citizens from voting (Current US law - only citizens can vote)
WASHINGTON – House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., will promote a bill with former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence aimed at preventing non-citizens from voting.
Johnson will hold a joint press conference with Trump on Friday at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence, where the top House Republican will tout the legislation to “elevate the issue of non-citizens voting in federal elections,” according to a person familiar with the planning.
However, non-citizens are already not allowed to vote in federal elections in the United States, and it's not a common occurrence. No state currently allows non-citizens to cast a ballot in state-level elections either, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center, though some municipalities may have their own rules for local races.
The former president has long falsely claimed that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. He has pleaded not guilty in two criminal cases – one federal and one in the state of Georgia – accusing him of trying to steal the election from President Joe Biden.

DeSantis signs bill banning heat protection laws for outdoor workers
Rather than sign the bill at a press conference, as DeSantis usually does, the Florida governor opted to quietly sign the controversial bill and announce it during a Thursday night press release alongside nine other bills.
The bill, passed by the Florida Senate in March 2024, makes it so local governments can not require companies to “meet or provide heat exposure requirements beyond those required by law.” Miami-Dade County commissioners took up an ordinance last year that would require employers to provide access to water and breaks in the shade on especially hot days, but it was deferred to this spring.
The ordinance was the culmination of a years-long campaign from local workers’ rights groups in response to heat-related illnesses and deaths in industries such as construction and agriculture.
Currently, there are no federal or state laws ensuring protection from heat exposure for those working outdoors.
“The intent of the bill is to ensure that employers have the ability to govern themselves and make sure they create the best working environment for their employees,” said bill sponsor Sen. Jay Trumbell (R-Panama City).

Do they even have anything else to do with their lives and time?
This guys statements about why they support repubs doesn't make much sense beyond them being one issue voters and that party embracing their one specific issue. The part about them not wanting to identify losers that need government is illogical because rural areas get tremendous support from the government. Think farm subsidies. So who is it they really don't want to identify with?
And this is why a lot of people are leaving the church
Stupid mothafucka you always do a LIMITED BUY. Never FIFO.
Glad Trump took his money. Fucking idiot.
