The mail scam is occurring when the mail is placed in mailboxes by the mail carrier, and thieves are coming right behind the mail carrier and stealing the mail.

Florida Republican State Rep. Fabian Basabe has withdrawn his 12-week abortion ban bill after no Democrat has come forward to support the legislation. He had hoped that the legislation would be a middle-ground between the GOP’s conservative 6-week abortion and Democrats who advocate pro-abortion polices. Basabe said House Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell barred party members from engaging in “collaboration across party lines.”

@David agree: Fentrice seems to be unaware many Black’s are abandoning the Democratic Plantation because of these types of shenanigans.
Quite likely Fentrice is taking her marching orders from the Florida Plantation Overseer Nikki Fried.
Wake up Fentrice , God gave you 2 feet, you should stand on your own convictions and represent the people who elected you. Overseer Miss Nikki is not your boss.
This is why nothing gets done, because of people like House Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell who barred party members from engaging in “collaboration across party lines. THIS person needs to go.
Had the ‘missed jury duty’ scam pulled on me years ago. Called LCSO to verify.
