I saved my notes from 2006 to give you a glimpse into @marcorubio today. He once said leadership is telling people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Now, he’s ignoring that wisdom and auditioning to become a Trump enabler. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… via @opinion

Manatee County Supervisor of Elections Mike Bennett is retiring. He submitted his resignation letter to DeSantis. Bennett is a former member of the Florida House and Senate and one of the region's more colorful elected officials. Always quick with a joke heraldtribune.com/story/news…

DeSantis appointee to New College board not happy with Interim President Richard Corcoran, a DeSantis ally he voted to hire
I just found out that the full Florida Senate did not confirm me as a Trustee of New College of Florida. While the reasoning given to me was that I ruffled some feathers in the Senate, I don't believe that for one second. I am sure that I did ruffle some feathers, but not enough to overcome a supermajority in the Senate. I am confident it was @richardcorcoran working with his political allies to block me. It is easy to see why. I was resistant to being "handled and managed." I pushed to operate as an independent board. I was also very involved on campus, meeting with as many students, faculty, and staff on a daily basis. This meddling proved too much, even though most of our political and educational views align. @NewCollegeofFL

The idea that bloggers criticizing a politician should register with the government is insane. it is an embarrassment that it is a Republican state legislator in Florida who introduced a bill to that effect. He should withdraw it immediately.

NEW: @romyellenbogen & I spoke to 5 of 20 arrestees announced by Gov. DeSantis. One said he fears his visitation rights to his daughter might now be taken away. "They know what I was charged with, right? Why would you send me the voter card?” miamiherald.com/news/politic…

Defend Florida co-founder Caroline Wetherington has ties to Michael Flynn, Patrick Byrne and Sydney Powell, all prominent players in effort to overturn 2020 election. Byrne and Flynn participated in a Defend Florida conference in Tampa.
Defend Florida has met with top DeSantis staff 6 times as GOP leaders consider election law changes. The group is alleging widespread voting problems in FL. Governor's staff appears to be taking these claims seriously, even as local officials dismiss them heraldtribune.com/story/news…

Criticized for focusing too much on COVID treatments over prevention, DeSantis says today that "we worked hard to get vaxxes out, 2021 particularly." But spends much more time slamming vax mandates & arguing state still should be able to distribute monoclonals deemed ineffective
