The term "dummymander" was never more appropriate.

I never ceases to amaze me the things Desantis likes to put in his mouth. Which part of Trump you want to imagine, feel free. Given all yhe nasty talk back during the presdental races you woulf think he had even a shred of dignity. But alas, not in Florida.

He is the more garden variety of evil corpo guys. I haven't seen quite as much of the boot polish on his lips yet.

While I support the AI regulations, the gerrymandering by the Right and the Left is abhorrent. Let’s hope the House doesn’t cave to DeSantis on that one tomorrow.

DeSantis will do whatever he can if he thinks it will harm voters of color and/or Democrats. Anything to please his god/king - DJT.

Another grreat column, J.C., but do you really think DeSantis is game-planning for a presidenetial run in 2028? He didn't exactly set the world on fire in 2024. In fact, I can't recall a single thing he did that got him good press attention. I remember one of the beauty queens at Fox News commenting that he always had a sour look on his face. I do recall him saying a president should never be aftraid to use the powers of the presidency beyond the commonly accepted ways. Trump must have paid attention to him on that one. Shades of the 2025 manifesto.

Do I? Actually, I think it would be idiotic, which is why it is possible, and there is a fair bit of speculation in that direction. The egos of these lame-os never cease to amaze...

Finally someone grew a conscience? Let’s hope it stands up to the bad coloring job.

I am a Floridian. Born and raised in central Florida. I am 69 years old and I have never been exposed to this much total disregard for our States/Federal Constitution and the rights of the citizens of the United States. This is not a right vs left party totally ignoring the laws set in place to protect and serve everyone who lives here. This pertains to certain government officials elected by the people to listen, serve, protect and provide a better tomorrow than we have today. However, as I read your articles all I see are men in power acting like dictators, making up their own rules without any consequences from the majority of Congress and Florida Legislators from both sides. Now is the time to put differences aside and take back control with the cooperation of both parties coming together to demand through legal actions that our Constitution be upheld and that the officials acting illegally be held accountable.
