Former CIA Director David Petraeus called Ukraine "the defining military laboratory of the 21st century." He said future historians will study the war as previous generations studied the US Civil War and the World Wars because it has revealed that warfare has entered a fundamentally new era. #Ukraine
Florida spent a billion dollars from the state’s emergency response fund in Alligator Alcatraz, including $219 million steered to a single porta potty company called “Doodie Calls.” Now the state is 41 days late in delivering a report on that spending.

With a high probability of rain continuing throughout today, 12/6, Winter Festival is sadly canceled. While a difficult decision, as this spirited event is a cherished tradition for many, the safety of our community, event participants & staff is paramount https://t.co/e3u3czcCSt
Suddenly talking about this *after* Florida Power & Light just locked in a record-setting, multi-year rate increase that will jack up power bills by at least $7 billion over the next four years.
A rate increase that was approved by a DeSantis-appointed, Senate-confirmed board.
If this isn’t a call for open, violent, unadulterated fascism and authoritarianism, from a top adviser to the president, then what is it? Seriously, what the hell is it?
The City Commission will hold a special meeting on 10/1 at 9a at City Hall, 300 S. Adams St. The Commission will receive a presentation from TMH & FSU regarding their Memorandum of Understanding. A second public hearing on the matter will be held 10/22. https://t.co/h7ZDJ7buJ4

💸Follow the DeSantis Medicaid money💸
1. @Centene overbilled Florida by at least $67 million in federal Medicaid dollars.
⬇️
2. In the settlement with @AHCA_FL, DeSantis officials "directed" them to pay $10 million of the $67m to the charity Casey oversees, Hope Florida Foundation.
⬇️
3. The charity then awards phony $5m "grants" to two dark-money groups, one operated by @FLChamber.
⬇️⬇️
4. Within days, the dark-money groups send $8.5m to a PAC controlled by DeSantis' then-chief of staff, @AGJamesUthmeier.
⬇️⬇️
5. Over the next two months, that PAC sends $10.5m to @FloridaGOP, which campaigned against Amendment 3. Another $1.1 million went to DeSantis' own PAC.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is also on the table as an alternative to a Tornado Watch. For the Severe Watch, all hazards would be possible, but damaging winds in this case is the primary concern. For the Tornado Watch, we'd look mostly for "kinks" within the line to spin up. 🌬️🌪️
Voters' ability to advance future changes opposed or disregarded by state lawmakers could soon be eliminated — if Gov. Ron DeSantis gets his way. https://t.co/yGZZUOb4tb
