Last week, I went to New College in Florida -- ground zero for what the
@GOP
are trying to do to education in this country.
Take a moment to watch this.
Books are banned. Speech is limited. Faculty are scared. Students are bullied.
This is just a small dose of what's to come.
The most divisive speech in my lifetime from behind the Seal of the President of the United States.
A speech that denigrates those that didn’t vote for him as a threat to democracy and the rule of law.
It belongs behind a more appropriate seal.
@SamHarrisOrg
What happens when the things that we are told are “lies” and “misinformation” end up being the truth, Sam?
If only there was some sort of verbal mechanism that allows for debate to take place until the truth prevails. 🤔
@kylamb8
You mean the circus clown posing as Florida’s Surgeon General because
@RonDeSantisFL
can’t get anyone competent to work for him?
Congrats on being on the wrong side of history though! I’ll pray for you.
You know where people who cherish freedom are looking today? To Ukraine—about which DeSantis, a former member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, apparently didn’t have the courage to say a word, because he’s scared Donald Trump or Tucker Carlson might criticize him.
NEW: In addition to the influx of Chinese, FOX encountered 3 Syrian men in Jacumba, CA. They will receive additional screening when they are processed because Syria is designated by the U.S. as a “state sponsor of terror”

Your entire mission is to deter an attack on the US homeland, and if there is a war, to effectively and efficiently destroy the enemies of the United States. That’s it.

In Florida, it is against the law to mislead and misrepresent the efficacy of a drug.
So, today, I’m announcing a petition to the Supreme Court of Florida to impanel a statewide grand jury to investigate any wrongdoing with respect to the COVID-19 vaccines.
In reference to the FWB Chick-fil-A employee who ran to help a woman with a baby who was being carjacked, we want to say a sincere thank you to Ms. Kelner for providing video of a portion of the encounter. (see prior post). A major shout-out to this young man for his courage!
For those that didn’t know,
@Scott_Wiener
proposed a law in California that removes parental rights in all 50 states.
California will take your kid, put them into their foster system, and allow them to receive a double mastectomy.
@NYCMayor
@GovRonDeSantis
Maybe you should take some notes while he’s in town.
Florida’s increased in population while your town is losing population. Florida’s at a 50-year low in crime while major crime is up 22% in NYC.
The new EO from
@POTUS
includes a promise to “deliver environmental Justice and implement the Justice40 Initiative.”
What is the Justice40 initiative, exactly?
Well, it’s exactly what you think… 🧵
Yes, I have a degree in chemistry.
I don’t need debt forgiveness because I earned my education by joining the military and deployment to Afghanistan on multiple occasions.
Why should I have to pay off your debt, Luke?
@JeremyRedfernFL
@DanielTorday
Are you a college graduate? Have you applied for your debt forgiveness yet, Jeremy? Are you prepared to say on record whether you will use the program or not?
Biden went to Kyiv; DeSantis went to Fox & Friends to blame Biden for Russian aggression. How the Florida Governor is getting on the wrong side of Ukraine.
From me.
The governor of New Mexico is using a public health order to suspend a right guaranteed by the US Constitution.
Yes, a public health order.
Did you think the left was going to stop at just forcing you to wear a mask?
Not long after accusing
@GovRonDeSantis
of “negligent homicide,” and referring to the governor as “fascist-curious,”
@lindyli
decides that it’s time to take a maskless vacation… in the free State of Florida.
Hey,
@elonmusk
…
Why is
@TuckerCarlson
’s main account banned from the search results, and why are the answers to his questions about Ukraine being censored?
At one point, there were nearly 2.7 million reported power outages in Florida due to Hurricane Ian.
I’m just 3 days, over 1.7 million of those outages have been restored.
Telling children that it’s unsafe to go outside with their friends, and the mRNA vaccines don’t cause myocarditis in young men, were just gaffes, guys.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Look, it's
@JeremyRedfernFL
— yet another coward DeSantis/Florida press secretary who types boldly on Twitter, calls no one back and hides under his desk when journalists knock. Because, again, he's a coward, Keep being a Twitter cowboy, big boy. Keep bringing it.
It’s Sunday morning and the State of FL DOH has released their disgusting proposed transphobic rule that would BAN access to gender affirming care for those under the age of 18 & create restrictions for adults too.
Voter registration stats among Hispanics in Miami-Dade County. The trend is fascinating:

@GovRonDeSantis
on Biden’s primetime teleprompter reading:
“I think it was one of the most disgusting speeches an American President has ever given… he’s basically saying to the vast majority of the country, that disapprove of him, that they’re a threat to the republic.”
Remember when Florida wouldn’t allow that AP African American Studies course because it focused too much on CRT and not enough on history, and the
@WhiteHouse
lost its mind?
Well, here is one of the standards considered “essential knowledge.”

@GovRonDeSantis
on school curriculum:
"We are going to make sure people are judged based on their character and achievement and not based on the color of their skin. We are not going to be spending your tax dollars teaching kids to hate our country or hate each other..."
@ACLU
This man raped and murdered a 14-year-old girl, and then he raped and murdered a 38 year old woman.
“Worden was sleeping… when Owen struck her several times with a hammer and raped her. One of Worden’s children found her body the next morning while getting ready for school.”
CNN's John King: "Stay off social media, people. If you're trying to figure out are there really issues with voting, trust your local officials and trust us here."
There’s no more being polite. Our children are running for their lives because Republicans block gun safety laws. Republicans are the party of mass shooters.
Yesterday,
@abcnews
aired a very small section of their interview with a member of Florida’s African American History Standards Workgroup, Dr. William B. Allen.
Here’s more of the interview, where Dr. Allen debunks
@VP
’s narrative and calls her criticism “categorically false.”🧵
“It’s past time to set the record straight.”
@GovRonDeSantis
is inviting
@VP
to Florida to discuss our new African American history standards with him and Dr. Allen.
Read Governor DeSantis’ letter below:

@FLSurgeonGen
has his MD and PhD from Harvard.
@GovRonDeSantis
did his undergrad at Yale and received his JD from Harvard.
Charlie Crist needed three tries to pass the Bar Exam.

@GovRonDeSantis
and his unqualified surgeon general want Floridians to stop relying on testing because it makes his poor leadership look bad.
As governor, I’ll never try to hide or censor numbers for political reasons. Florida deserves better.
Florida’s Omicron wave peaked at 299 cases per 100k.
New Mexico’s wave peaked at 362 cases per 100k.
Only one of these two states has an indoor mask mandate and forces school children to wear a mask for 8 hours a day.
@GlennKesslerWP
You should have read the community note, because it doesn’t say that.
It says they “pledged” $1 million, which is the same amount donated by George Soros.
They ended up spending $420k.
Also - cry more.

delivers Starlink units for first responders in Lee County and announces the acquisition of 120 more units to provide coverage to the public in SWFL.

Railroads are regulated by the Federal Railway Administration, which is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
States have very limited jurisdiction of railroads.

Why are Republicans asking Pete Buttigieg to comment in response to the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, when Governor Mike DeWine (R) runs the state's emergency response and public health apparatus???

@GovRonDeSantis
on “sanctuary jurisdiction” hypocrisy:
“The minute even a small fraction of what those border towns deal with every day is brought to their front door, they all of a sudden go berserk. It just shows you that their virtue signaling is a fraud.”
My predecessor enacted the latest iteration of trickle-down economics by giving the wealthy a tax cut that'll cost nearly $2 trillion.
Under Bidenomics, we'll make the tax code fair for everyone by making the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share.
So, the guy that’s supposed to confirm an order from the president to launch a nuclear strike was in the hospital for days and nobody told the White House?
POTUS went days without speaking to his SECDEF while conflicts rage around the world?
Shouldn’t this be a bigger deal?
The most memorable moment of the past few months was
@RonDeSantis
destroying

All it took was 90 minutes and a poop map.
