> [@ahduval](#): > > I would vote for a near complete shutdown of all federal operations in the state, and if/when they have another natural disaster the very minimum of assistance. Unfortunately, natural disasters are a bit of a blunt force that can’t be directed and so have a way of affecting the guilty and the innocent alike. I’d rather not get the sane Floridians who are working hard to oust DeSantis and all of the Trump wannabees hurt. ---

? Did Trump actually “call for peace” at any point in this search-warrant kerfuffle? Any public statements exhorting his supporters to be law-abiding and not resort to violence? ---

? What does Trump mean (okay, I know there is usually no rationally comprehensible answer to questions of this form) by “re-emerged with a different but similar name”? Isn’t the name of the Lincoln Project the same as it’s been since 2019? ---
