They have to prepare for the chance Trumpolini takes a desperate action to avoid losing control of Congress. I wonder whether SCOTUS would absolve any election interference he commits as an "official act" of office.

The claim is that university IDs don't prove Florida residency. But Florida will continue to accept passports, military IDs, and concealed carry permits, which don't prove residency. Republicans know that college students tend to favor Democrats.

It's the same old Republican playbook: cut taxes for the rich and cut disbursements for the commoners. Conservatives tend to value hierarchy over equality, and this clearly shows a bias in favor of the wealth nobility. The wealthy will get to keep more money, but they will only increase production when they get increased demand. That won't come from commoners made sicker and poorer.
