Florida GOP Representative Jeff Holcomb says the quiet part out loud on the House floor today. “Our terrorist enemies hate homosexuals MORE THAN WE DO.” Audible gasping in the chamber. And then there’s Representative Kelly Skidmore’s reaction. 😲

DeSantis said the quiet part out loud. He wants to solve Florida’s labor shortage, worsened by anti-immigrant laws, with CHILD LABOR. SB 918 repeals all child labor protections for 16-17 y/olds + allows vitural/home school kids aged 14-15 to work past midnight on school nights.

The Governor is embarrassed + humiliated that the court is shutting down the Everglades camp, a very important priority of his. Nearly $250 MILLION in corrupt no-bid contracts were given to GOP donors to build this site and taxpayers get none of it back. So much for DOGE.

Just visited the Orange County jail. Confirmed several immigrants who aren’t facing any criminal charges were transferred to the Everglades camp. The claim that Alligator Alcatraz is only for the ‘worst of the worst’ is a complete LIE. We’ll continue demanding accountability.

The taxpayer-funded renaming of Palm Beach International to “President Donald J. Trump Airport” is an unprecedented grift. It’s unethical, it’s corrupt, and I refuse to support the legislature’s effort to subsidize Trump’s continued profiteering from public office.

Voting lines at UCF and in many other Orange County EV locations are too damn long. 🤦🏻♂️ Please factor in additional time if you are early voting this weekend. 🙏 Also, WTF Supervisor Glen Gilzean? Fix this now. WE THE PEOPLE want to vote! 🗳️

Here’s the 2022 moment I FORCED a very sweaty Randy Fine to admit that his bill was targeted retaliation against Disney for opposing ‘Don’t Say Gay’. Now Disney is SUING Ron DeSantis and using these exact words against them. YOU. ARE. WELCOME. 😎💅

The legislature has taken us in a dangerous direction and turned our classrooms into political battlefields. I’m fighting back and running for Florida Senate to give our community HOPE that we can still elect people who care about helping people. Together we win in 2024.

This is serious. HB 999 shifts control higher ed towards Ron DeSantis, effectively eliminates tenure, + ABOLISHES womens/gender studies degrees and DEI initiatives while allowing political appointees to rewrite mission statements at all 12 public universities. Wake up, Florida!

NEW: DeSantis acts SHOCKED that his vague and punitive censorship laws have resulted in exactly the type of chaos and excessive book banning in Florida public schools that we all predicted would happen. The GOP knows they went too far. Mr. Never Back Down, is again backing down.

A new report released by the State of Florida shows they spent $573 MILLION from emergency reserves on the Everglades detention camp and other immigration-related political stunts. This AM, the Florida Senate will consider a reauthorization of this emergency slush fund, SPB 7040.

Smith: 23,000 Floridians DIED during the Delta surge. Not only did the DeSantis administration restrict their access to information about this deadly virus, they downplayed the threat to help DeSantis run for POTUS and fit their political narrative. That decision cost lives.
