    Casey DeSantis is a man of integrity and honor? I know what they're saying, but so clunky. Goofball staring off into the distance while his wife gazes at his profile with adoration also triggers cringe spasms.

    I hope she tagged them with fees. They are bad people. But it won't matter - they are backed by big dollars.

    Good find

    Pissed off that he doesn’t have more exposure on Gatorcountry Desantis goes entirely in on bigotry.

    Don't know if we should trust Maggie Haberman. But presuming this is true, his cruelty is not sincere, it's just calculated for personal gain

    Best governor, in the best state, in the greatest country of the world. Everyone will always get my respect 100%, unless they lose it. In this case, he has 100% earned it.

    Ronald Dion DeSantis is my hero.

    Make. America. Florida.

    I hope this helps:
    The administration of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) steered $92 million last year in leftover federal coronavirus stimulus money to a controversial highway interchange project that directly benefits a top political donor, according to state records.

    The decision by the Florida Transportation Department to use money from the 2021 American Rescue Plan for the I-95 interchange at Pioneer Trail Road near Daytona Beach fulfilled a years-long effort by Mori Hosseini, a politically connected housing developer who owns two large tracts of largely forested land abutting the planned interchange. The funding through the DeSantis administration, approved shortly after the governor’s reelection, expedited the project by more than a decade, according to state documents.

    I assumed it was parity, like when he claimed that DeSantis is a libertarian and a centrist.
