The Florida Senate threatened journalists at the @orlandosentinel and @SunSentinel with possible arrest if they published a report - that taxpayers funded - that showed insurance companies made misleading claims about losing money.
We published anyway.🧵

This 60 Minutes investigation exposes how dangerous trucking practices and weak oversight leads to devastating consequences on our roads. We cannot allow safety standards to be rolled back or accountability weakened. These aren’t red tape. They save lives. cbsnews.com/news/how-dangero…

The right to trial by jury is a cornerstone of our justice system. It ensures decisions reflect the judgment of everyday people, not just those in power—making justice truly belong to the people.
Our hearts are with Judge Diane Goodstein, her family, and all those affected by the fire at her home. Grateful she is safe and that those injured are receiving care. 💙 #SCAJ

Ten years later, we remember the Emanuel Nine — not just for how they died, but for how they lived.
Their legacies of faith, love, and service continue to inspire.

8 yrs ago, SC passed the dram shop law to hold bars accountable. Last week, Gov. McMaster signed away those protections. Insurance got a break — we got more DUI danger. Lawmakers must fix this, not reward recklessness.
