Yup, it's complete lies. Total bs. I had a role before in a group that requires Top Secret SIGINT clearance and not communicating controlled information on devices is well known and understood by everyone. There were even friendly reminder posters about proper and improper device usage all over the hallways in the buildings. Can they be charged with perjury? Because they're definitely lying.

Boebert just stated that they're "working on" changing the name of DC from District of Columbia to District of America.

Your (if you're American) tax dollars at work folks.

No one holds their feet to the fire, so nothing is going to happen.

Probably ever. For anything.

Boebert missed opportunity to show her loyalty. Should propose to change it to Trumpistan.

I think Trumpingrad is a little more in line with the overarching theme.

I mean seeing as she's a Dick Choker, that would seem the correct response.

Good to know they’re focusing on this instead of unimportant stuff like stopping wars, school shootings and angering former allies.

I'm surprised they haven't changed the state of New Mexico to New Murica yet.

I’m surprised they haven’t named something significant after Trump yet. There are several airports named for former presidents so maybe that given that he’s old and won’t live long. There are also numerous towns and cities named after former presidents. Maybe put his face onto Mount Rushmore.

So Florida is considering rolling back child labor laws so that they can fill the jobs left open when they cracked down on undocumented workers.

https://www.pnj.com/story/news/2025/...5/82657143007/

Quote:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and state legislatures have been working to fill a void left behind in the wake of the state penalizing employers who hired undocumented workers. A new bill, SB 918, shows that child labor is their answer.

“Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people,” DeSantis said during a panel discussion last week. “And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now? I mean, that’s how it used to be when I was growing up.”

Now, Florida lawmakers will discuss yet another bill, which is titled Employment of Minors and aimed at rolling back child labor laws in the Sunshine State.

Here is what to know about the proposed bill.

What is Florida SB 918: Employment of Minors?
Florida SB 918 is the latest bill lawmakers have put forward targeting child labor laws in the state. If passed, it would allow children as young as 14 to work overnight shifts, and allow teens to work overnight jobs during the school week.

The new child labor bill doesn’t introduce anything new to Florida Statutes. Instead, it seeks to amend Section 450.081 by removing certain restrictions on minors between the ages of 16-17, revising exceptions to those restrictions and deleting a provision that authorizes the Department of Business and Professional Regulation to grant a waiver for those restrictions.

Fantastic! Its about time those ungrateful little freeloaders learned the value of a hard day's labour!

Maybe we can start up an iPhone factory or re-integrate children into the coal-mining workforce!

Good ole Capitalism - we’ve deported all the people who do the #####y jobs so we need a new demograph to fill those roles.

Florida - it’s kids right?

Billionaire - I bet we can even pay them less than immigrants because they are kids. Everybody wins!

I am surprised that he hasn't contracted Space X to turn the moon into a picture of Trump's face.

How else is America going to replace offshore labour to keep consumer prices down with all the tariffs they're putting on everything?
