* This state has now gone from swing to red scare. But Scott, DeSantis, Gaetz, Trump etc., notwithstanding, legitimate hope will be on the ballot. But it will, of course, depend on turnout. And it greatly helps to have abortion, marijuana–and even Andrew Warren–on that ballot.
* “This is wrong—what’s happening to this guy.” That was Rick Scott, who attended the Trump trial. No, he wasn’t a surrogate for missing-in-action family members but an agenda-driven Trump defender and fellow fraudster.
* Wild card: No-party voters make up more than 25% of the state’s active registered voters.
* The DNC has launched a bilingual billboard campaign in Florida on abortion bans. They’re located at high-traffic sites in Tampa, Orlando, Miami and Gainesville.
* State public schools should be teaching the evils of authoritarianism, not communism. This isn’t the Cold War; it’s gubernatorial autocracy.
* According to Leapfrog Hospital Safety Guide, Florida hospitals ranked 13th in the nation for patient safety.
