This is the story of my family, and of my Mom -- who we lost to cancer when I was 13 years old. Her courage and resilience inspires me to be brave, and to fight for Florida families. Her story hasn't ended, but it’s up to us to write the next chapter. We start in November. #HD47

"Thirteenth Judicial Circuit State Attorney Suzy Lopez sent letters to several television stations around Tampa Bay on Friday, the same day the Republican Party of Florida filed a lawsuit over the ads."
The SA initially installed by Ron DeSantis after he suspended Andrew Warren.
Hope Florida: state attorneys told television stations they could face criminal charges for airing political ads about a leaked grand jury report. The warnings were sent after a lawyer with the Republican party contacted the state attorneys about the ads

Florida Republicans are so desperate to stop voters from hearing about Hope Florida that they’re suing TV stations, claiming it's criminal to discuss the grand jury report ... even though James Uthmeier has discussed that very leaked report multiple times.

BREAKING: A judge has denied the Florida Republican Party’s request for an emergency order banning broadcast of the Hope Florida ads. As the Trident reported on Sunday, the party sued to block the ads under threat of criminal prosecution. #DefendDemocracy floridatrident.org/breaking-…

Senator Ashley Moody’s appearance on @WIOD last week raised more questions than they answered about her role in the plan to divert $10 million to Hope Florida. Moody rarely does interviews and listening to this interview may explain why. @CBSMiami

NEW: Byron Donalds has been boosted by over $6 million from data center interests.
That includes Florida's power companies, Meta, and Google.

Welcome to the “free” state of FL! As a reminder, the GOP threatened broadcast companies during the 2024 election cycle, and has targeted billboard companies too. If you want to stop corruption, address the affordability crisis, and get your freedom of speech back— vote Democrat!
BREAKING: The Republican Party of Florida wants a judge to pull a Democratic TV ad about the Hope Florida grand jury report. It says airing the report's "content, gist, or import" is now a crime.
The lawsuit, filed at 11:36 p.m. Friday in Highlands County, targets the Florida Democratic Party, its three statewide candidates and 11 TV stations in Orlando and Tampa Bay.
The party also referred the stations to FDLE and prosecutors. One copy went to the statewide prosecutor, who works in AG James Uthmeier's office. Uthmeier is the candidate the ad targets.
What the lawsuit leaves out:
- The grand jury report has been public since Aug. 26.
- The appeals court ruling it relies on isn't final until Friday at the earliest.
- The U.S. Supreme Court struck down part of the same secrecy law in 1990.
Early voting starts Monday in many counties.

If The Republican Party wants to arrest people for discussing the “content and gist” of the grand jury report, they should start by calling for the arrest of James Uthmeier who discussed it on Fox News, among other places.
Starting in this clip at 3:50

The incompetence + chaos is never ending from the Trump Administration.
President Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was fired Friday, after less than a week on the job, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The CEO of utility giant NextEra Energy – which is seeking approval for a massive merger w/Dominion Energy – has joined the ranks of business execs and tech bros saying "super intelligence" instead of artificial intelligence to appease Donald Trump.
He even corrects himself lol:

A state-level PAC funded by a right-wing tech investor and Elon Musk contemporary is paying for digital ads attacking Democratic candidates in two dozen state House and Senate races across Florida.
The committee is called "First Amendment LLC" and the funder is Scott Banister:

This morning I examine the appeals court striking down the Hope Florida grand jury report, @GovRonDeSantis’s reaction, and why his admin’s decision to take $10 million that could have helped Floridians but instead ended up in his PAC, remains an issue
