Yes, you are reading this right. Desantis used $1 BILLION of Florida tax payer money to build detention centers that were ultimately shut down.
Meanwhile, we are 50th in the nation for education funding, have an affordable housing crisis and kicking kids off of healthcare.
New from me: DeSantis renewed an emergency decree more than twenty times to steer one billion in taxpayer funds to Alligator Alcatraz. His misuse of emergency powers created an extrajudicial site where Amnesty International determined torture took place.

ABC and CBS paid Trump.
NBC gave to his ballroom.
Scott Pelley took a stand and was fired.
CNN is next.

BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period
IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement?
BLANCHE: The Constitution
IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery
@mentze85196 Florida is turning into one big parking lot. The amount of building and land development is ridiculous and approved even though roads, water supply and schols can not keep up with growth.
Sen. @JeffMerkley to Rubio: You have expressed that no one died as a result of the shutdown of USAID. I want to note that it's estimated that over 500,000 children have died from that shutdown. I hope you ponder that as we strive to rebuild programs related to malaria, tuberculosis, AIDS, HIV, nutrition, and Ebola.
Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
@GovRonDeSantis WTF is wrong with you, other than just being Florida's biggest dick? Where is the $10 million settlement from WellCare? If there is so much surplus money, double teacher pay, which are currently the lowest paid in the country!
