I really appreciate your perspective on Florida politics! You have insights to nuances in local races and the money behind what's happening that I'm not getting anywhere else.

Thanks for all your hard work!

You are such my hero at helping people understand what is going on in our State and exposing behavior that few people would condone.

Jason thank you for everything. I can’t listen to this right now. I feel extremely hopeless.

Floridians need to be outraged that DeSantis STOLE $15M of our public funds to wage a media war on two citizen initiatives Amendments 3 and 4 in pursuit of his PERSONAL religious beliefs that the voters of Florida supported by 57%!!! His extreme agenda that is utterly out of touch with the majority of Floridians’ expressed moderate political preferences! He has never been in touch with the agenda FLORIDIANS want enacted in their interests, but rather continues to bully a compliant legislature into passing unconstitutional , outrageous bills violating the rights of Floridians! He had no legal right to waste $15M of our state funds LOBBYING against an amendment the majority of us wanted approved! Our quality of life has tanked with this unfit governor who has a mistaken idea he can violate our rights and abuse his power without consequences is outrageous! He ran with no experience other than three sessions Congress as a racist Tea party Republican blocking legislation and speaking to White Supremacist seminars! Florida is a state populated by moderate politics, and he barely won his first election, and his extreme authoritarian agenda has been out of synch with most of us! His racist in such a diverse state is scandalous. He devastated New College by firing, without notice or cause, its president and destroyed the unique quality of this 700 student liberal arts, publicly-funded college! Outrageous! I call him jackboot Ron! The he installed his pal Richard Corcoran as president with a salary of about $1.5M, including extensive perks! Those are our public funds! For a 700-student college! That is a terrible misappropriation of OUR public funds! This is typical of everything this religious zealot’s misdeeds for the past 6 years. Florida, please pay attention to the abuses this legislature is allowing DeSantis to get away with! I think we need a Congressional investigation of his misdeeds!

Hi, I agree with a lot of your points that you made against DeSantis and the elected officials in the GOP within the state. I would love to talk to people who reelected people within the state and ask them why? We have been a republican lead state since the late 90's and for the last 2 years and now another 2 years we have a super majority of GOP people within state offices and not one democrat holds a statewide office. The last person to do so was Nikki Fried. We have the highest home insurance and it has been going up since DeSantis has been in office, we have had a state legislature that just continues to rubber stamp "approved" on anything DeSantis wants. He has far right groups like the The Heritage Foundation write financial impact statements about how Amendment 4 would have used tax dollars for lawsuits and cost the state millions, he cut ALL arts funding because of some festivals and many more things that have been in my opinion abuse spending of our tax dollars.

If we really want to change Florida - we have to unionize our tourist industries. Seriously, I don't think the Dems can do it. It's going to take unions to disrupt the system and hold the line.

It's funny you mentioned the dissolving of a local government. I brought this up to a volunteer lobbyist for the WFLC a number of years ago. The FL legislature loves preemption.

she’ll never be asked to run again. She’s a smart and good politician but now it won’t happen.

"She’s a smart and good politician" AYFKM? NO, COMMIE-LA is an ozero puppet, out of touch with normal Americans who struggle to provide for their families in her twisted fantasy world. Thank God people saw through her nonsense and rejected her. Some are still bemoaning the fact she won't be able to continue her assault on real Americans, but that's their problem, not ours.

No - you radical crazy out of touch cynical person. Do you really not understand what just happened? When you are living in concentration camps - you find out the real story behind all of this. I suggest you get an education.

Na, you're projecting again as dems do. "Accuse your opponent of what you do". First to through mud on the wall wins? Not for anyone with critical-thinking skills. Thanks for playing and revealing what you are, bot.

You are a wall street poster who is so ignorant - gas light someone else my dear. I have no idea who you are and I don't make false accusations like you do. That's the critical thinking skills and non- education you lack.

Please go enjoy being a hand maid.
