President Biden has asked that all states renew all protection measures: masks, distancing, no large gatherings…etc.
Florida and Miami-Dade County has pushed vaccines but residents are behaving as if there is not danger. Restaurants full, no masks, gathering, working close, no social distancing.
Spring breaks has been a hype-spreading event.

There are a few candidates who to mention “smart development.” This could include overdevelopment, easily.
Candidate Phillip “PJ” Mitchell is the only candidate who far who so far is against overdevelopment, increased density of development and associated traffic problems.
Are there any other candidates who are clearly against overdevelopment?

Major news outlets have frequently adopted the GOP narrative that a “surge” of migrants across the U.S. border with Mexico is causing a “crisis.” ABC, CBS, and NBC used such language to describe the situation along the border at least 138 times on their morning and evening news shows since January 1, according to a Media Matters review.
But a new analysis published by The Washington Post on Tuesday finds that the recent increase in migrant apprehensions along the southern border is not a “surge” or a “crisis,” but the seasonal bump typically seen this time of year, likely heightened by people who waited to cross last year due to the pandemic.
A new analysis shows no migrant “surge” or border “crisis.” Here’s how often broadcast news has said there is one. | Media Matters for America
