Ron DeSantis talks a big game about sending federal dollars back to DC. It’s a lie. 35% of Florida’s 2023 state budget was federal money The amount was $41,007,308,001. He didn’t balance s**t.

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. 😲

The DeSantis’ state government regime installed a puppet Board of Trustees at New College and invited a far-right commencement speaker for graduation. Things did not go well. 🤣

'Alligator Alcatraz' is cruel, it's inhumane, and it's completely un-American. My Democratic colleagues and I are PATRIOTS who believe in the constitutional right to due process for everyone…and that includes immigrants. 🇺🇸

Still NO maps. NO transparency. NO support from Floridians. NO new census data. Florida’s map-rigging scheme to keep Trump’s party in power is completely ILLEGAL and CORRUPT.

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.

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.

In the rush to ram his reform thru the legislature, the governor’s office completely forgot supervisors of elections, property appraisers, and tax collectors offices are funded by property taxes and had to amend their half baked proposal to make it make sense. 🤦🏻‍♂️

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.

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.

“Right now, 16 and 17 year olds cannot work more than 8 hours on a school day. SB 918 does away with that.” “Right now, those children are not allowed to work before 6:30A or 11PM on school nights. This bill does away with that as well.” "Just keep them working."

The Governor’s office repeatedly claims they drew “race-neutral” maps— these are deliberate lies. Their rigged maps intentionally crack Central FL Hispanic voting power by splitting then into 4 separate districts. These maps are racist AND illegal.

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.

In the middle of the night, Orlando community members used BIG BEAUTIFUL PAINT to restore the FDOT-approved pedestrian safety enhancements outside of Pulse Nightclub in response to state-sponsored vandalism. WE WILL NOT BE ERASED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. 🏳️‍🌈

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!

It doesn't matter what Texas has done. It doesn't matter what California has done. In Florida, map-rigging to benefit one political party over another is COMPLETELY ILLEGAL.

In Florida, Congressional map-rigging that favors one political party over another is completely ILLEGAL. I refuse to violate the oath I took to uphold and defend Florida’s constitution. This is complete and total lawlessness. #StopIllegalFloridaMaps
