    LOL. This is the lawsuit where @Gatorrick22 was adamant that the Washington Post lacked standing. The funny part was he kept arguing with me even after it was obvious he had no idea what standing meant in this context. I'm sure he'll be along any minute now to acknowledge his errors.

    This is bullshit. I don't want my tax dollars being used for political campaigning:


    DeSantis is such a lawless turd.

    does a taxpayer have standing to challenge something like this? who does? or is it legal?

    I’m thinking that 15.5M would come in handy right about now for the Panhandle.

    i'll ask again, why are the dems so bad at messaging that they can't get this through to the general public? that type of stuff opens people's eyes

    One, the general public doesn’t want to see/doesn’t care; and two, this information is available to the general public but folks DON’T seek it out.

    Personally, this is the reason that I have a subscription to the Orlando Sentinel even though I live in Brevard county. Gotta keep an eye on the trash in Tallahassee.

    so now it is documented that Musk was bankrolling DeSantis..things that make you go hmmmm

    Elon Musk Gave Tens of Millions to Republican Causes Far Earlier Than Previously Known (msn.com)

    Citizens for Sanity was incorporated in Delaware in June 2022, with salaried employees from Miller’s nonprofit legal group listed as its directors and officers.

    Miller, a senior aide in Trump’s White House, was an architect of the previous administration’s restrictive immigration policies and a leading backer of its socially conservative initiatives.

    The following year, Musk gave $10 million in support of DeSantis as he ran for president, people familiar with his donation said.

    The money was routed through a group called Faithful & Strong Policies, according to the people familiar with the matter. Musk’s contribution to DeSantis’s presidential efforts hasn’t previously been reported.

    More than half of the money ended up in the coffers of a pro-DeSantis political-action committee called Never Back Down. DeSantis dropped out of the race in January.
