It so happens that Charleston South Carolina is where the the first shot was fired

It also happens an editorial in a SC paper printed this to help people like Haley remember

“The issue before the country is the extinction of slavery. No man of common sense, who has observed the progress of events…can doubt that the time for action has come”

🤔 At a Hurricane #Idalia press conference, Gov. Ron #DeSantis (R-#Florida) was asked today if he supports President Biden’s call for more money for FEMA’s disaster fund: “How Washington handles all this stuff, I don’t quite understand.”

(Reminder: DeSantis was a three-term congressman.)
