This literally has all of us covering the process confused. There's no way he vetoed NOTHING. Without the information on what he took out of the budget, there's honestly not a heck of a lot to report. But he fielded questions about Gavin Newsom and the trans flag.

In an unprecedented move, @GovRonDeSantis today signed the state budget without disclosing any line item vetoes, which were expected to approach $3 billion. Contrast to last year, when legislative leaders stood behind him as he slashed their top projects and called them "pork."

This bill was signed by @SenRickScott as Governor, though @GovRonDeSantis always said he would have vetoed it. But why would DeSantis want to suddenly get into a beef with a sitting Senator up for re-election this year?

Tomorrow, Fl House will try to roll back the Marjory Stoneman Douglas act passed after the Parkland shooting. With no notice & no critical debate, they will take up rolling back waiting periods & age. They are doing this only 2 weeks from the 6 year remembrance of the shooting.

With 71% of the Florida vote in, this is a real crappy sign for @RonDeSantis , who has under 4% to @NikkiHaley 's almost 15%. Lawmakers, maybe don't deliver the budget for a little while. Let this mood pass.

. @micheleforfl acknowledges she's running for Congress. People say she has a vested interest in the map. She says that's right. "I have a vested interest because I'm a Black woman in the state of Florida. I have a vested interest because I'm a Black resident in the state of Fla."

It's pretty clear at this point the administration would rather not have their point of view appear in a story and then go to war with media than to have a statement presented from the jump. Feigning outrage is viewed as a much higher priority than informing the public.

This is a bogus story. Florida does not fund CRT. #1 - This is the list that the reporter emailed and demanded answers about. It is clearly unannotated. And contracts are handled by agencies, not the governor's office. The story was published without a response from @EducationFL

There are LGBTQ people in the majority and minority, he said. It's difficult now to even come to work. "It doesn't matter what type of legislation we pass now, or what type of legislation we pass moving forward, LGBTQ people will always exist."

Wow. @CNN just called the Nevada Senate race for Casto Montez, which means Democrats hold the Senate regardless of the Ga. runoff. Looking at where outstanding votes remain, that seems legit. If Walker loses in Ga, that means Republicans will have a net loss in Senate seats.

All we hear about Florida reopening from @GovRonDeSantis administration is decisions are data driven and respectful of local control. Then @RichardCorcoran issues an edict to school districts with no apparent justification beyond a tweet from the president.

It's upsetting more people aren't upset about the stunt pulled with the sports ban in the Legislature. This issue was debated over an extraordinary time in the House, but never made it through a 3rd committee stop in the Senate. Now its an amm on a charter school bill.

This is pretty accurate. Months after @RonDeSantis took office, he went to the Pulse memorial on the anniversary of the shooting and told @CarlosGSmith and others he would not create problems for LGBTQ people. This year, he made problems a signature mark of Session.

My piece in @TheAdvocateMag on the rise and fall of the House @ChrisMZiegler and @BridgetAZiegler is up. I worked on it for months (arguably 15 years). You know about the threesome, but read about how the power couple came into power.
