DeSantis’ spokespeople have been furiously tweeting and emailing that “partisan” media are making up “hypotheticals” and promising he’ll “fix” all the #ReedyCreek #Disney problems. But my articles & others like it are the ones dealing w/reality & law as it currently exists. /1
Really? Last time I checked, you had an Ivy League law degree & experience arguing in front of SCOTUS. Please identify the legal precedent that will result in "giving away half of Manhattan," & a case currently on appeal where that's the issue. Include citations.

Good for Erin Burnett for calling out Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) for calling her "young lady."
He then claims he meant it as a "compliment" because it's his first time on the "Clinton News Network."

We have no state income tax. Florida depends on tourists coming here (many for Disney!) & pouring millions of $ into the state thru sales taxes, hotel taxes, gas taxes, tolls, etc.
DeSantis’ culture war risks undermining the entire state economy.

"Carlson is lying."
Just flagging this for my fellow members of the media, to prove it's possible to write that plainly.
Tucker Carlson lied on his show last night, multiple times, and in ways that are easily fact-checked by any semi-sentient vertebrate with internet access.
“Mean, nasty world” is for when a high school girl gossips that her frenemy on the cheerleading squad is, like, such a trampy slut.
You need different words for “taken hostage, interrogated, tortured, dismembered, and murdered.”

I’m wondering if what we’ll hear soon is “Re-elect us & we totally promise we’ll fix it in the 2023 general legislative session.” Because there’s no time to fix it this year, unless they just completely repeal what they did last week. And that won’t win the culture war. 🤔 7/7

It's ALWAYS WRONG to sexually touch anyone who:
1. Is underage,
2. Doesn't want you to touch them,
3. Is too drunk/high/sleepy (doesn't matter why) to consent, or
4. Over whom you have to use your power/influence to intimidate into "consent."
