Elon. Mommy's Darling. How touching to see you rage against a “disgusting abomination” of a spending bill now after you spent years sucking the marrow from America’s bones to fund your rockets, ego, and the very corruption you’re screaming about.
You literally polished Trump’s boots until he fit neatly in your back pocket. You got yours: the tax breaks, the subsidies, the political favors. But now that this bill is actively fucking America, and the MAGA hypnosis finally fades enough for you to see the monster you enabled?
Welcome to the party, pal.The rest of us have been here, watching billionaires sell the country for spare parts. Put the outrage back in the closet until it’s not self-serving.
The question schools want to know is are we going to have a school funding bill or not? The ball is in your court as the chairman.....time is running out on this session and our schools.
BREAKING: MAGA Governor Ron DeSantis is caught in a jaw-dropping scandal as it's exposed that he funneled $10 million in taxpayer money to his wife's charity, who gave it to dark money groups, who then donated $8.5 million to his minion's PAC.
Even Republicans are calling this illegal. It's the kind of corruption that ends up in history books...
The scandal originated with a settlement agreement between Florda and Centene, the state's largest Medicaid contractor, after it was discovered that the company had over-billed taxpayers for medications by a staggering $67,048,611.
Instead of depositing that money in state and federal accounts like they were supposed to, DeSantis's administration funneled $10 million of it to the Hope Florida Foundation, a charity overseen by his wife Casey DeSantis.
That money was then rerouted to two dark money organizations that are not legally required to report how they spend their funds. Those very same groups then turned around and gave $8.5 million to a PAC overseen by DeSantis’ then-chief of staff.
The stunning embezzlement scheme was exposed by a draft agreement obtained by The Miami Herald which directly contradicts claims made by DeSantis and his officials that the $10 million contribution from Centene was separate from the Medicaid settlement.
"This is kind of like a cherry on top, where they agreed to make an additional contribution," DeSantis lied.
This is nothing short of a heist of public funds. DeSantis took money that belonged to the people of Florida and deposited it right into the pocket of his wife and his lackey's political action committee.
If DeSantis and everyone involved in this crime don't end up behind bars, it will be a grave miscarriage of justice. Republicans all across the country will see it as open season on the public coffers.
Please retweet and ❤️ to demand that Ron DeSantis be prosecuted — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

“Abbott’s playbook is clear: Starve the schools, blame them for struggling, then offer a ‘solution’ that benefits only his wealthy donors. It’s a bait and switch designed to defund our neighborhood schools.”
Texas schools haven’t seen an increase in state funding since 2019. Since then, the buying power of the basic allotment has DECREASED by $1,340 as a result of inflation.

R or D or I -the average lower to middle class family and retired teachers -took a huge hit -it will be felt for years to come -take care of yourself -more to come from the Fed government -(we are nothing to them)
Wikler: If the richest person in the world can go around buying votes to gain control of the courts—just like he seems to have bought control of the White House—then we’ve lost any semblance of the rule of law, and our democracy has been smashed to pieces. Or rather, cut with Elon Musk’s chainsaw.
We need to fight back against this. It should be prosecuted in court, and it should trigger an avalanche at the ballot box, with voters making it 100% clear that our democracy cannot be bought.
Susan Crawford’s victory will send a message to the entire country that Elon Musk’s illegal vote-buying schemes will trigger an electoral avalanche in the other direction. If we can make that clear, maybe we can shut this down before it infects the rest of the country in 2026 and beyond.
Dude, don’t pretend to be smart & think that vouchers help minorities. They haven’t in any other state & even @GregAbbott_TX has changed his narrative from tnat to “help kids pick schools for their unique learning” because the poor kid thing didn’t poll well. Get with the current marketing message.
Really sad.
Democrats are desperate to keep African-American & Hispanic children trapped in failing schools—all because they value $$ from teachers’ unions more than the future of Texas kids.
