The more I think about it the more I am convinced there is the same existential threat posed to @RonDeSantisFL by the @Disney lawsuit as there was to Fox & Tucker Carlson by the Dominion action.

#FlaPol
Why?

Because @RonDeSantisFL made fighting Disney central to his re-election campaign and his political operation writ large.

This makes the entirety of the DeSantis re-election vulnerable to discovery.
The emails and texts revealed through discovery might be far worse than any legal judgment against @RonDeSantisFL

Prepare to see some embarrassing revelations or some “accidental” public record deletions.
It will also interesting to see if in litigation @Disney drills down on the @RonDeSantisFL penchant for retaliation in order to establish a pattern. 

Did Team DeSantis retaliate against members of the press? Political enemies? Critics?
And if @Disney's lawyers are as good the world thinks they are many of these revelations will be coming to light during the thrust of the 2024 presidential campaign, if @RonDeSantisFL is the nominee.

Lawmakers reconvene this week for a Special Session to consider a new 30-year Compact between the state and the Seminole Tribe that would expand gambling and legalize sports betting.

Here is a #FlaPol 🧵on who to watch this week:
#1, obviously, is @GovRonDeSantis himself.

Everyone I talk to says the Gov. is personally invested and involved in finalizing Compact.

He worked A LOT this past weekend to damp down dissension in GOP ranks with the deal. He does not want to have to sign a revised Compact.
Remember, @GovRonDeSantis has deep ties to Nevada/gaming industry.

Adam Laxalt was one of the earliest DeSantis for Gov. supporters. The Adelsons were and are major $$$ donors to his campaign. Etc.

Bringing Compact in for a landing is a point of pride for DeSantis.

A couple of thoughts on the latest developments on the upcoming Special Session to ratify the Compact with the Seminole Tribe.

A 🧵
I moderated a post-Session panel today for the Tampa Chamber of Commerce

I was surprised to hear lawmakers flat-out say they view this new Compact as an "expansion" of gambling in Florida.
This raises at least two possible scenarios given that Fla. voters just amended the Constitution to limit gambling expansion.

1. The lawmakers are against the Compact because they view it as expansion and they want to uphold the will of people.

I'm not going to out the ex-girlfriend, but I'll throw some chum in the water.

Her identity in Tallahassee is an open secret.

She's also a Fla. Dep't of Education employee.

A few nuggets ...
I started tracking this woman's story in early April.

She met Joel Greenberg 3 years ago off of SeekingArrangement website.

They not only got her an internship in U.S. House, but also a job at Florida Dep't of Education. DOE will likely deny this, but its what she told ppl.
Her role grew from Greenberg girlfriend to recruiter.

She would encourage other young women to get involved in the Gaetz-Greenberg-Beshears circle.

Nothing illegal, per se.

After a pro-Trump insurrection at Capitol that left four people dead, this is how Florida Republicans reacted.

A #FlaPol thread.
.@SenRickScott voted in favor of the objection to @JoeBiden's win in Pennsylvania in the face of his own Republican colleague, Pat Toomey, saying there was 'no evidence of significant fraud' in the election.
A dozen members of the Delegation voted against certifying @JoeBiden’s electoral college victory.
