When Governor Ron DeSantis pushes a school curriculum that says Black people somehow benefited from slavery, he insults not only our intelligence but our humanity. Our children deserve the freedom to learn the full truth of our history.

Today, Governor Ron DeSantis called for a special session later this month in Florida that fails to address the number one issue facing working families and seniors in our state: lowering costs. (A Thread)

"Instead of calling a special session focused on lowering costs, Governor DeSantis is bringing legislators back to Tallahassee to act as a rubberstamp for his real agenda of advancing his own political ambitions and attacking the freedoms of Floridians."

How much did Gov. DeSantis cost Floridians this year? The Governor's year in review shows an escalating affordability crisis with rising property insurance premiums, higher utility costs, and increasing auto insurance rates. #florida #flapol

At the Governor's direction, Florida has now paid $50 million in taxpayer funds to a politically connected vendor for a program it is refusing to answer questions about why it isn't moving forward despite federal approval. It's the corruption, stupid. cbsnews.com/news/florida-des…

Florida Gov. DeSantis' Canadian drug import plan goes nowhere after FDA approval

Florida sued the FDA over what it said was a "reckless delay" in approving its drug importation plan. Now, nearly a year after the FDA gave the state the green light, the program has yet to begin.

Every Floridian deserves respect, but extreme politicians like Ron DeSantis prioritized the passage of divisive & unnecessary laws that attack our LGBTQ+ community & the First Amendment to distract from how they did nothing to lower your costs or property insurance premiums.

A reminder that Gov. DeSantis put a lot of time and taxpayer money into trying to suppress free speech and the will of the people that he was elected to serve. We need real leaders who will work for the best interests of ALL Floridians! #florida #flapol
