Psaki: DeSantis ‘fundraising off’ anti-mask mandate politico.com/news/2021/08/0… via @politico
@politico And to follow that up. ... During a p.m. press conferencce @GovRonDeSantis has a scripted response to @POTUS "Governor who" quip.
"Well, I guess I’m not surprised that Biden doesn’t remember me. I guess the question is, is what else has he forgotten? Biden’s forgotten about the crisis at our Southern border, I can tell you that....."
"Biden has forgotten about the demonstrators who are fighting for freedom down in Cuba. And Biden has even forgotten about the constitution itself as we saw with what he did with this moratorium...."
"And I can just tell you I’m the governor – who - protects parents and their ability to make the right choices for their kids education...I’m the governor – who - protects the jobs and education and businesses in Florida by not letting the federal government lock us down...."
"I’m the governor – who- answers to the people of Florida not to bureaucrats in Washington."

So here we are - 2024! 2024!

Spent 2 plus hours watching a court hearing over Norwegian' Cruise Line's lawsuit seeking to strike down Florida's vaccine passport ban.

and well it was something....
Derek Shaffer, the lawyer representing Norwegian, framed Florida's new vaccine passport ban law this way... It basically protects liars who don't want to show documentation of their status. Bc nothing in law says a cruise line can't ask.....they can't ask for proof
Shaffer also said that Fla. legislators did not offer any evidence as to why law was needed. Showed to judge an exchange btw @DannyBurgessFL & @TinaPolsky where she asked why schools need proof of other vaccines but not this one. Burgess doesn't really answer the question

Florida auditors found a handful of instances where it appeared dead people - and convicted felons - were able to cast ballots

subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2021/0…
The audit - which looked at how the state Division of Elections reviewed voter files from 2017 to 2019 - found one instance where someone who was listed as dead voted 219 days later.
Auditors, however, said they did not find any "widespread irregularities" or "pervasive errors." Important to note - audit mostly covered period before passage of Amendment 4

Attorneys for @GovRonDeSantis late last night filed - like at 11:57 p.m. - responded to SCOFLA on Francis appointment battle. At 12:22 a.m. lawyers for governor asked for oral argument in the case
The governor's legal team is asserting that Rep. Thompson erred by asking him to choose someone else on finalist list other than Francis. Says governor should still have a chance to appoint Francis (even though the court already said she was ineligible.)
Then the legal team for the governor has an entire section on whether the governor made an appointment or merely announced an appointment

On the same day that @realDonaldTrump says schools must open in fall @EducationFL Commissioner @richardcorcoran issues an executive order ordering it to happen...and this might be...
@realDonaldTrump @EducationFL @richardcorcoran The tipping point. Commissioner Corcoran is an unelected official using @GovRonDeSantis emergency power to override elected school boards/superintendents
@realDonaldTrump @EducationFL @richardcorcoran @GovRonDeSantis The reason this is so fascinating? Because apparently the governor and state officials were hesitant to close schools for elections - and if you recall they gingerly asked schools to close in spring...

So a bit of a boom.....
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday took steps to help localities prepare for what could be high voter turnout this year, but stopped short of extending early voting or letting counties consolidate polling places in the battleground....
DeSantis called on schools to close during the August primary and November general election to make room for what might be record voter turnout. He also issued an executive order that makes it easier for state employees to work at the polls on Election Day.

.@FLGovScott has issued an exec order that appears to tell local authorities to not enforce the beach access bill that he signed into law. 🤔
In a release @FLGovScott says the new law he signed has caused “considerable confusion” & says he’s committed to keeping beaches open & he even urges prosecutors to keep beaches open
Maybe this is where one asks whether @FLGovScott office vetted the bill before signing it into law - or sought input from those who warned about it
