This is so wildly irresponsible I can barely find the words. Florida has more seniors per capita than any state and int'l tourism elements: hotels, cruise lines and Disney World & vast agricultural sectors & a huge prison population that are all especially vulnerable to COVID19.
And Florida under its previous governor, @SenRickScott -- previously known as the CEO of a healthcare company that paid a record $1.7 BILLION fine for Medicaid, Medicare & Tricare fraud -- refused to expand Medicaid, so it also has large numbers of people who are uninsured.
Hopefully DisneyWorld and other resort businesses in the state, and wise mayors in Florida will ignore the governor and stay closed, to save lives. usatoday.com/story/travel/d…

TX Lt. Gov Dan Patrick has stolen the freak show with his statements about seniors being willing to die to boost the economy & presumably the markets. But I'm still rattled by @RonDeSantisFL going on TV and announcing he won't lock Florida down.
Florida has the third-largest U.S. population after California and Texas. More people live in Florida than in New York & Ohio, both of which are locked down.

1. California 39,512,223
2. Texas28,995,881
3. Florida 21,477,737
4. New York 19,453,561
7. Ohio 11,689,100
And Florida is statistically tied with Maine in having the country's largest population of seniors, who are in the bullseye of COVID19 vulnerability. Texas, once again, is in the same category. prb.org/which-us-state…

Yet another bad provision @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell and friends tried to slip into the coronavirus stimulus bill; unbelievably, tied to the $350 billion for loans to small businesses that don’t lay off their workers during the coronavirus crisis... washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
Per reporting by @ThePlumLineGS:
This is just gross. And it will hurt rural communities in particular:

Questions for @senatemajldr:
1) Why did the Republican bill contain a $500 billion slush fund?
2) Why should Treasury Secretary Mnuchin have control of such a fund w/o the American people being able to know who got the loans until after the election?
3) What are the loan terms?
3) Could Donald Trump's hotels get access to that money? If so why and w/ what disclosure?
4) Why shouldn't there be restrictions on any bailout "loans" so that corporations can't use the money for stock buybacks, CEO bonuses and so these megacorporations can't lay people off?
5) Will cruise companies, who are mostly based offshore to vastly reduce their tax burdens and often utilize mostly low-paid, non-U.S. labor be able to access these bailout loans, and under what terms?

Please post any other questions you have below! #NoCorporateBailouts

WOW-Great question @QDQANON

Disney involvement/corruption is a HARD PILL to swallow, but oh so important to understand HOW they are involved in the whole human/child SEX TRAFFICKING scandal going on now.

Everything has meaning.

There are NO COINCIDENCES
@QDQANON Time for a dig Patriot anons!

Find out HOW the Disney Executives have figured out how to steal land all across the U.S.

Throughout the years, Walt Disney has developed several very sneaky but reliable techniques to acquire land.
@QDQANON Walt Disney World History 101 – “How to buy 27,000 acres of land and have no one notice”

They will acquire the land through their executives & large stockholders & family members of the execs & stockholders.

Have they given away prizes to homeless teens?

Great place for model shoots, I'd guess.

I'm glad to see #Florida Governor @RonDeSantisFL taking action to combat the state's toxic algae issues. I've worked on this for almost a year, so I'll post some thoughts related below of things that need to happen, imo.
tampabay.com/florida-politi…
1. Despite being a climate change denier on the campaign trail, DeSantis MUST acknowledge climate change and the role it plays in this algae disaster. He says he's hiring scientists, and unless they're corporate hacks, this is what they're going to tell him.
2. While a lot of Florida's problems are "internal", an EPA with no teeth isn't helping. DeSantis needs to encourage Trump to "reset" the EPA back to 2016! EPA has a water monitoring role AND Florida's largest pollutor (Mosaic) needs to be closely monitored at the fed level.

Long but IMPORTANT THREAT ON ELECTIONS IN #FLORIDA.

#BayCounty was hit by a Cat 4 Hurricane just 4 weeks ago,yet managed to count votes & submit timely results.

Yet over 41 hours after polls closed #Broward elections office is still counting votes?
#Sayfie

1/6
#Broward supervisor:
- says she doesn’t know how many ballots are left to be counted; &
- Isn’t reporting hourly or regularly,but rather releasing thousands of additional votes,often in the overnight hours,that are chipping away at GOP leads

2/6

#Sayfie
#Broward elections department has a history of violating the law:

A court found they improperly handled votes by mail:
politico.com/states/florida…

Court found they destroyed ballots in 2016 in violation of state & federal law:
