I expected after this article to see @J_Fishback to validate he was at least arguably a seven-year resident of Florida. Instead, he called this a paid hit piece (it's not) and posted his (expired) Florida driver's license with a Davie address (he lives in Madison).

Sen. Scott today on Hope Florida

@GovRonDeSantis @splcenter Here is Chair Redondo's full statement at the beginning of the meeting. He says members will rely on 2020 Census data, use the House’s map-drawing software, and must disclose anyone who assists them, keeping detailed records to ensure transparency.

@GovRonDeSantis Boy that was a quick one. Redistricting committee wraps after 25 minutes by my watch. Chair and other Republican lawmakers left without talking to press. John Webber with the FL @splcenter said it was "too short, and not so sweet..."

@GovRonDeSantis It's basically standing room in here-- save for a few seats reserved for lawmakers. Overflow is in the hallway. Outside, opponents holding large signs in the plaza reading: "BE BRAVE DEFEND DEMOCRACY"

Redondo continues, criticizing the idea of coming back after regular in a spring special session (which @GovRonDeSantis wants): "Given the fact that we are less than a year away from the election, not to mention the fact the candidate qualifying period for federal offices in

Audible laugh from opponents packed into the Congressional Redistricting committee as Chair Rep. Mike Redondo says: "Let me be very clear, our work as a committee and as a legislative body is not directed by the work of other states or partisan gamesmanship."

Can't wait to do this all over again in April

Lawmakers are apparently being shown the full video of the Sept 2 boat strikes in their meetings with Adm Bradley and Gen Caine. HIMES: “what I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I’ve seen in my time in public service…you have two individuals and clear

@amnestyusa “Alligator Alcatraz” at the moment lives in legal limbo. That’s after Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, in September, put a hold on a lower-court order that had required the state and federal government to shut down and dismantle the site within 60 days.

@amnestyusa Some migrants reported being punished inside a two-by-two-foot cage known as “the box,” where they were shackled to floor restraints for hours — treatment Amnesty classifies as torture. Governor’s team insists this is a fabrication and that no “box” exists.

@amnestyusa The 61-page report is based off interviews with detainees and findings from a trip to southern Florida in Sep. 2025. It alleges those at AA are “being held in inhuman and unsanitary conditions…” Overflowing toilets, fecal matter seeping into sleeping area, limited showers,

Full report is here. @amnestyusa says it found that Florida’s aggressive immigration enforcement, expanded through 287(g) agreements and bolstered by Trump administration policies, has produced a system where arbitrary detention is the norm, not the exception.

Florida’s @GovRonDeSantis Press Sec. @MsMollyBest calling new @amnestyusa report alleging “cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment” at Everglades detention facility “Alligator Alcatraz” & Krome processing center “nothing more than a politically motivated attack.” Full statement:

Comes as the FL House moves ahead with its own plan, the first meeting of the Congressional Redistricting committee set for tomorrow afternoon. That's as opponents travel from across the state to protest outside the state capitol. https://t.co/R65AOGni4J

Florida's Senate President @Sen_Albritton weighs in on congressional redistricting: "The Governor has expressed a desire to address this issue next Spring. As such, there is no ongoing work regarding potential mid-decade redistricting taking place in the Senate at this time."

While I expect this will change, at the moment it links to a pig butt.

Meanwhile the Florida House having its first Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting, Thursday:
