before you get the burgers on the grill. let s take a look at some of the week s top stories. desantis has officially entered the 2024 white house race. as we said, the livestream event on twitter got off to a rocky start, crashing several times with the announcement delayed by the more than 20 minutes due to a series of technical glitches. sorry about that, we ve got so many people here, i think we are kind of melting the servers. let s see, so yeah. just to simplify. let s see. crashing, huh? i think we re back online here. great. all right. well, it s certainly an incredible honor to have governor desantis make this stark announcement. oh, the technical troubles drew mockery on social media. president joe biden posted a link to his donation page, writing simply, this link works. and former president donald trump had a series of posts on truth social, calling the announcement fatal and a disaster. he also had one strange post where he wrote, quote, rob, my
