In Oct 2023, Ron DeSantis's campaign team threatened legal action against me if I published a story about how I spoke to three bespoke shoemakers, who all said they believe he wears heel lifts.

My Politico story in 2023. The title says: "3 Expert Shoemakers Say Ron DeSantis Is Probably Wearing Height Boosters The internet has questions about the governor’s boots. So I asked the experts."An excerpt reads: "DeSantis’ campaign denies the allegation that he’s wearing lifts. On Monday, DeSantis told podcast host Patrick Bet-David that his boots are “just standard, off-the-rack Lucchese boots.” In an email to POLITICO Magazine, DeSantis’ press secretary, Bryan Griffin, writes, “Considering the fact that Politico Magazine admittedly spent money to consult ‘boot experts’ to run this hit piece on DeSantis tells you all you need to know about their ‘journalism.’ The governor doesn’t pad his boots, but if he ever needed anything to line a pet cage or fold up and wedge under a table leg, that would be the highest and best use for Politico Magazine.” (To be clear, POLITICO Magazine did not compensate any of the boot makers quoted in this story. Also, POLITICO Magazine does not appear in print. —Ed.)" There's also a photo breaking down why the three shoemakers think he was wearing lifts.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is preparing to run for the GOP’s 2028 presidential nomination, according to people briefed on his plans, after his home state of Florida was one of the few conservative bastions to survive the Democrats’ sweeping midterm victory.

Over on X, MAGA influencers have started making long lists of prominent people who supposedly betrayed the movement and are responsible for what happened on Tuesday. Seems like a sign of a totally healthy and normal movement.

Mark and avoid these people, and anyone who promotes them/allies with them. If we are going to win the 2028 election we need to get the enemies out of our camp.

Every writer who propped this guy up as a genius was nothing more than a Useful Idiot and should never be trusted again. That won't happen, but it should.

⚡️Musk reposts tweet calling Starlink service for Ukraine 'mistake.' "In hindsight, it was a mistake for SpaceX to send (Ukraine) thousands of free Starlink dishes and millions of dollars a month in free service at the beginning of the war," the post reads.

A phrase that I suspect will stay with me for a long while is from Elon Musk's post where he claimed that Cybertrucks could also be used as boats capable of crossing rivers and "seas that are not too choppy." Driving my Cybertruck across a small, calm sea for my mandatory family court appearance.
