It’s not their child’s health that’s at issue. It’s the other children to whom they are transmitting. What about the other students’ rights and their parents’ rights to stay healthy? Why don’t you all understand this? It’s the community that we need to care about not self.

We remind our Republican colleagues and leadership every day that this is the #1 issue for our constituents but they don’t care - instead yesterday we debated whether drag shows are too “lewd” for the 5 kids who attend them. Their priorities suck. Sorry Florida. We are trying.

If you care about inflation, here’s @GovRonDeSantis plan: cut gas tax (that was only Oct), cut tolls, diaper tax break (Dem bill). That’s it. That’s what he said at debate. Nothing on rent, housing or insurance. Care about the economy? vote D. Bc gov doesn’t care about u. We do.
