Wow: Ron DeSantis’ former surgeon general speaks out:
“These were preventable deaths…It breaks my heart thinking that things could have turned out differently if people embraced vaccines instead of this anti-vax stuff.”

Hi America.
You may hear from our governor today.
He likes to talk about Disney a lot. (Like a crazy lot.)
You should know he used to take orders - and campaign checks - from Mickey Mouse.
The tantrums only started after the checks stopped.

BREAKING: The CEO of @Hertz wrote a letter to Puerto Rico‘s representative in Congress stating that Hertz has rewritten its policy to make it abundantly clear that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory - not a foreign country - & because of that Puerto Rico driver’s licenses are not international IDs they are just as valid as any ID from any state in this union. This news follows the story I first reported last week, where a Puerto Rican man at the New Orleans international airport was denied a rental car because at least two Hertz workers said his license was international. On top of that, the man who recorded the incident, had the police called on him by a Hertz employee who said he can never rent from Hertz again because he recorded the incident. *She was wrong; he can rent from Hertz again*. The police officer who responded to the call was dismissive and rude and is now the subject of an internal investigation by his police department because the customer, Mr. Humberto Marchand, filed a complaint with the @KennerPolice. Following our report, Representative @Jenniffer wrote a letter to Hertz asking for a companywide educational campaign, and she got it.
Lastly: Puerto Ricans are United States citizens. Please share.
Today the Governor signed legislation (SB 7050) making it harder for Floridians to register to vote. Free states empower their citizens to vote. This bill does the opposite.
As Elon Musk prepares to help Ron DeSantis launch his presidential campaign, a reminder that Musk's SpaceX lobbied for a bill (SB 1318) that's now waiting for DeSantis' signature and would protect SpaceX and other space companies from lawsuits following an explosion or a crash.
@PeterSchorschFL@TheAmandaGorman@JoeBiden@SommerBrugal@MiamiHerald One of my rural schools told me that the teachers took all the books home bc they were afraid of being arrested for a felony. Another one told me they did not have the staffing or funds to scan in all the books for approval so the library was off limits to students all yr.
