NEW: I went on a deep dive into the privacy amendment, aka the most consequential law affecting abortion access in Florida. That included talking to one of the last living drafters, who made this very clear: They intended for it to cover abortion.🧵tallahassee.com/story/news/l…

June 24, 2021, was a devastating day that changed our community forever.
As we celebrate this award, we remember the 98 lives lost in the Surfside collapse, and their families who trusted us to tell their stories.
I am very proud of my @MiamiHerald family today, and every day.
Congratulations to @MiamiHerald. #Pulitzer

Sooo, eh hem, some *professional* news:
This was my last story for @TB_Times! I'm leaving the paper where I started my career to join the @USATODAY Network — Florida as a statewide enterprise reporter.
NEW: Nowhere are the stakes of the Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney's election more clear than in this case.
The incumbent is fighting this man's attempts to prove his innocence. His opponent helped bring those claims of innocence to light. tampabay.com/news/pasco/2022…

Wow, what a number:
"Corporate investor purchases grew 79 percent from 2020 to 2021, and 530 percent since 2011, 'calling into question who is in control of the housing supply,'" according to a Harvard report on St. Pete. via @Colleen_Wright tampabay.com/news/st-petersb…

everybody born between 1985 and 1995 saw the Super Bowl halftime show lineup and was like “sweet, instead of doing a show for old people like the Rolling Stones or Paul McCartney or The Who they did one for us young people”
and then 10 seconds later it hit us

Morgues + crematories are full or getting there. Public utilities have asked residents to cut back on water usage so liquid oxygen, which is used in water treatment, can be conserved for hospitals. Florida is recording an average of 242 virus deaths a day nytimes.com/2021/08/28/us/fl…

BTW, this kind of bracketing is the job of a CAMPAIGN or PARTY comms operative NOT the taxpayer funded gubernatorial spokesperson.
This is an abuse of taxpayer dollars. – at St Petersburg, FL
Last year, @NikkiFried held up $1 million+ federal funds for FL Dept of Juvenile Justice programs. If she truly cares about ensuring food security for children, why block funds for a program that provides nutrition for some of Florida’s most vulnerable & disadvantaged youth? 🤔

I haven’t said anything about what’s going on with #COVID here in FL bc I haven’t had the words to describe it. The truth is we’re caring for 3x the number of patients we had last summer. 12 of our floors have been converted to covid units. We are stretched to the breaking point.

With the #DeltaVariant continuing its surge, our epidemiologists have found that over 80% of our #COVID19 patients are unvaccinated. Getting your vaccine can prevent you from getting severe COVID symptoms and ending up in the ICU.

Since State of Florida is not publicly publishing daily COVID data, Florida Hospital Association is.
Record 11K+ COVID hospitalizations statewide. ICU capacity at 86.5%.
95%+ hospitalizations are those unvaccinated.

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine’s ability to prevent severe Covid-19 remains strong but wanes slightly over time, new data from the companies suggests. The finding could influence the debate over whether booster shots are necessary. nyti.ms/3j1Dt4B
