Ron DeSantis: If you can go to Home Depot during pandemic, kids can 'absolutely' go to school
Ron DeSantis, who’s doing a fantastic job as the Joker’s top henchman but a horrible job as governor of Florida, has OD’d on his crazy pills again. The man who’s currently presiding over one of coronavirus’ favorite summer vacation spots wants to open the schools posthaste because … wait for it! … people aren’t afraid to go to…
Ron DeSantis fires Florida's COVID-19 data researcher to censure science and eliminate transparency.
This is what Republican governance looks like. Vote them all out! “I think it’s been a team effort here in Florida, we’ve got great public health people here at the county level, we've worked very good with the local governments as well, and we still have more work to do. But clearly, we have done…

Protester dressed as Grim Reaper haunts newly reopened Florida beaches
The only way this could be better is if Max von Sydow were still alive so this Grim Reaper dude could play chess with him on the beach. Daniel Uhlfelder, a lawyer from Florida, is protesting the reopening of Florida’s beaches in the coolest, most blunt way one can — by dressing as the Grim Reaper…

Florida’s economy is collapsing under COVID-19, and only Republicans are to blame
Who would have imagined that the conman responsible for the largest Medicare fraud in U.S. history could be so … corrupt? Way back in 2012, then-Gov. Rick Scott made headlines with a weird new policy: Any claim for unemployment could no longer be done by phone or in person—it had to be filed online using…

Two cruise ships with four dead and dozens showing virus symptoms head to Florida for new problems
More examples of governmental incompetence, pairing Trump and a Trumpist governor in Florida. At least there aren’t trains trying to collide with the cruise ships. When Andrea Anderson and her husband boarded the MS Zaandam cruise ship in Buenos Aires, Argentina, more than three weeks ago, they didn't know that their trip of a lifetime would disastrously…
Dem cities in Florida just figured out how to beat governor's voter suppression
After a week of having to deal with an openly racist president, it’s nice to have a bit of good news—and from Florida, no less. In the last election, our backwards state narrowly elected Trump supporter Ron DeSantis as governor, which was slightly balanced out by Florida overwhelmingly approving a constitutional amendment to allow nonviolent…
Popular elected official suspended by DeSantis and replaced with republican, cuz that's a thing now
First it was Brenda Snipes, the Broward Co. elections chief who was suspended by Rick Scott and replaced with his top lawyer, Pete Antonacci, a shady rightwing Republican. Now, FL governor Ron DeSantis just suspended Susan Bucher, the Palm Beach Supervisor of Elections. The suspension of Bucher seems to be completely for partisan/revenge reasons. x This is…

Donald Trump Jr. says 200,000 noncitizens on Florida's voter rolls; real number: 85 (in 2012)
Sheesh, Jesus Christ himself didn’t work this hard to please his dad. Republicans are frantically searching for voter fraud as the races for Florida governor and U.S. Senate continue to tighten, and now Donald Trump Jr., who by all appearances has the EEG reading of rhubarb torte, is entering the fray. Hey, give him this. While…
DeSantis rally: Black opponent will pick judges that will rule against people “who look like us”
Most candidates construct a basic platform to run on, or some type of vision for their state. Not Ron DeSantis. He’s based his entire campaign on riding Trump’s coattails. After a long spell of nonstop racism, I guess he’s given up and decided to go all in with running on white fear. At a campaign stop…
Vulnerable Florida Republicans blast Trump's idiotic Hurricane Maria conspiracy theory
To be fair, maybe Donald Trump simply thinks Puerto Ricans should count as .6 percent of a person. That would put his figure of 18 casualties right in line with George Washington University’s finding that nearly 3,000 U.S. citizens died in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. That would be the charitable interpretation, anyway. The uncharitable interpretation is…
