I’m a Florida taxpayer, and DeSantis used my tax dollars to score political points. I can see no circumstances where that isn’t a clear misappropriation of funds. DeSantis should be charged appropriately.https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/immigration/article266044016.html

How about Abbott and DeSantis working to reform a very broken immigration system instead of pulling stunts like this?Fixing an issue with common decency is beyond them, apparently. It would be great if Florida and Texas would stop electing them. The Megastate G.O.P. Rivalry Between Abbott and DeSantis-https://nyti.ms/3DRCYpw

@TonyStark Not a single Republican is innocent. Every last one of them played a role in turning the Republican Party into what it has become.

DeSantis has said the flights were designed to send a message to Democrats. I don't recall Floridians giving DeSantis the authority to use our taxes to pay for his political stunts in order to a "send a message to Democrats" given the fact that half of Floridians are registered democrats. But that is what he has done since he took office, done everything in his power to screw over Democrats in his own state when it is his job to be governing for all the people in this state. He doesn't understand what it truly means to be a Governor.https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/08/us/florida-migrants-marthas-vineyard-state-documents-contractors/index.html

@YinzPittsburghersThey've tried the same thing in Florida. There's no bottom with this party.

I'll put this simply, my friends. Elect Democrats.Latinos overwhelmingly oppose abortion bans:More than two thirds of Hispanics say they would not vote for a candidate who supports a nationwide ban on abortions, according to a new poll released Tuesday.https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3682954-poll-latinos-overwhelmingly-oppose-abortion-bans/

@TonyStark Every Democrat who can afford it should be donating to Democratic candidates in tight races. I have.

These drop box poll watchers are a fascist threat to our democracy. They fear the voices of the electorate so they need to resort to intimidation.Please don't claim to be a patriot -- or to be firmly behind the Constitution -- if you're fighting tooth and nail to harass and intimidate American citizens carrying out their most basic American right. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-election/federal-judge-issues-restraining-order-group-monitoring-arizona-ballot-rcna55170

Just horrible! Florida used to be a welcoming state but DeSantis has poisoned it with his venomous fascist policies. It's a shame such a beautiful state is so damn ugly. It was beautiful when I came here.https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/04/medical-boards-ban-transgender-treatments-florida-00065251

@TonyStark I am stunned at how little press this is getting about PA. I’m running across a lot of people who don’t even know it happened. It’s a big deal.

@GoldenShield @TonyStark I am talking specifically about Pennsylvania which I did say. I don’t watch Hayes anymore, but my instance administrator told me in another reply that he had it on and Hayes was covering Trump toots. I doubt he’d make that up but I’m glad he’s talking about something useful at some point. However, I did mention Penn. That’s not getting much or any.

@dcooper_resists While he is a definite hero, it’s not that simple. We all just can’t sit around hoping a Vet is present. That’s the wrong message. That message isn’t the solution to violence against the LGBTQ community.

@TonyStark The extremism has been in the Republican party for almost a century. Listen to Rachel Maddow's podcast Ultra to hear about how it took hold during WWII and before. It's in the party's DNA. Zero accountability, zero reckoning, swept under the rug.

@truthsandwich @TonyStark I’d recommend listening to the podcast which delves deeply into the subject.

@TonyStark DeSantis has no legislative goals to actually address Florida’s many problems. None.He is singularly focused on harming people his voters hate for little purpose other than to keep them voting in higher proportion. How much of his anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-immigrant, anti-educator, anti-science policies he really believes address problems is anyone’s guess. What is not in dispute is he is willing to harm people for power.

@OlDude82 @DavePerrino @just_alex @TonyStark Something people might want to remember too is that COVID doesn’t stay in a state border. Everyone gets screwed here.

The death cult formerly known as republicans want everyone who's not rich, white, hetero or disagrees with their particular hateful flavor of christianity to suffer and die as miserably as possible.

@TonyStark Of course the leading priority for Republicans is "how can we kill more people?"
