There is a bill as we speak saying Florida should study replacing the property tax with consumption (sales) taxes. The math isn’t that hard to see what that would do to the sales tax.

There’s not $40b+ in “bloat.” That is a ridiculous statement & magical thinking.

Thank you to @CatalystMiami for always leading the way in effective community engagement on systemic issues. Truly appreciate your support over the years of accountable and transparent oversight!

Fight over Miami-Dade’s “heat ordinance” may be the broadest industry mobilization against legislation since @MayorDaniella took office. South Fla General Contractors Assoc urging members to contact commissioners and tell them to vote no on Tues

@AnnaForFlorida and @LindsayCrossFL thanks for your amendments and for fighting to keep us from being poisoned!

[Rachel Prestipino @RachelPresti1]

We don’t need Radioactive Roads in Florida! Check out our op-ed and contact your legislators to vote no on HB 1191/SB 1258 - Mine are @IleanaGarciaUSA @vickiforflorida and I’ve asked them to vote no!

[Catalyst Miami @CatalystMiami]

🚨Action needed! Check out our op-ed in the @orlandosentinel with @MayorLerner and @FLClinicians to learn more about how you can stop Hb1191/SB1258 from passing: https://t.co/K1lj60o5rR

[Rachel Prestipino @RachelPresti1]

In light of all this flooding, I'm urging @vickiforflorida @ileanagarciausa to vote against HB 1191/SB 1258. It allows a cancer-causing toxin to be used in FDOT construction, poisoning our communities when it rains. It's bad for ALL Floridians’ health. Vote no HB 1191/SB 1258!

Florida Republican and trust-fund kid State Representative Fabian Basabe, who is under investigation for slapping an aide, voted yes on expanding Don’t Say Gay bill and argued in favor of anti-trans laws, showed up at the Miami Beach Pride Parade. People were not happy.

[Shevrin “Shev” Jones @ShevrinJones]

Floridians are tired of the cultural wars and the attack on vulnerable people! It’s time that we get back to governing and doing what’s going to move Florida and Floridians, FORWARD!

Politicians are not going to solve this problem of government overreach that’s happening in this state and in this country, #thePEOPLE are!

Thank you for having me @KatiePhang ❤️!

Seems like he missed the part where the X-Men are the heroes of the story

He bout to be in for a surprise when the X-Men unite!!

[Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith @CarlosGSmith]

When Republican Webster Barnaby called trans people “demons”, “imps”, and “mutants” it wasn’t a mistake or gaffe.

It was the hatred and bigotry that’s really motivating Florida’s 20+ anti-LGBTQ proposals FINALLY being spoken into words.

Now it’s exposed.

[Rachel Prestipino @RachelPresti1]

And then they dropped a 98 page bill to be voted on tomorrow limiting our voting rights!

Oh and my rent went up by $450

[Gianna @giannatro]

Today, the Florida Senate passed a six week abortion ban that criminalizes healthcare and Desantis signed permitless carry into law so people can buy guns without a permit, background check or training.

Meanwhile, my landlord just raised my rent $400 a month. Free Florida who?

1/5 From today's NYT. The politically-motivated choice to forego medicaid expansion in states including Florida is bankrupting hospitals and killing patients. 🧵

[Thomas Kennedy @tomaskenn]

Florida GOP is pushing a bill making it a third degree felony to have an undocumented person in your home or car, even if they’re related to you. State Senator @IleanaGarciaUSA voted for it in committee. We went to her office to protest these anti-immigrant police state policies.

[Brandon Wolf @bjoewolf]

An amendment was just filed by Sen. @JayCollinsFL to clarify that the bill to ban flags at government buildings does not apply to…*checks notes*…Confederate flags. 🙃

No pride flags. But all good to fly the racist flag of those who tried to rip this country apart.

[GIFFORDS @GIFFORDS_org]

El gobernador DeSantis se comprometió a aprobar el porte de armas sin permiso en Florida, lo que permitiría a las personas que nunca han pasado una verificación de antecedentes o disparado un arma en su vida, portar armas ocultas y cargadas entre el público.

[Miami-Dade Democrats @MiamiDadeDems]

Continuous #Medicaid Coverage ends on 3/31. This will impact 1 million Floridians. Act Now! 1️⃣ Recertify your coverage with @myflfamilies; 2️⃣ Demand a #SpecialSession on Medicaid from your Representatives.
