📢Just In: Outside Broward DCF Office
People are in line OUTSIDE the office because DCF is not answering calls. More than 50% of Medicaid Terminations are due to "procedural issues" (i.e. applicant couldn't reach anyone) while thousands others are losing SNAP benefits because

Your choice of words is key. Florida does not require a permission slip to teach African American history, but Florida's vague law compels public schools to require parental consent for virtually any activity. Puedes tapar el sol con un dedo pero the light still shines through.

Of all the posts I've read, this is the one everyone should be sharing. These were hand-picked and not by Trump alone. There was intention and collaboration - and I'm certain it's already changed the course of history.

Big news out of Tampa on lawsuit involving Fla KidCare. A Trump appointed judge tossed Florida's lawsuit challenging fed guidelines over the program ... Fla challenged a provision that said children must remain eligible even if their families are unable to pay premiums.

The goal now becomes motivating most voters to make it to the ballot box. Apathy coupled with politicians who pander to their extreme base defines American Politics. Vote - because your life depends on it, literally.
copy & paste here & some paraphrasing there doesn’t change the foundation of this post. Victims deserve better than the same shuffled words. This is an elected official whose constituents are suffering. We, as civilians & strangers post things things far more meaningful.
Not a penny will go to myself or any other individual. Please remember all we have lost in the last year. It's our responsibility to fight back and get our benefits back!

Thanks to the new regulation from

, Florida will no longer be able to enforce waiting or lockout periods on children eligible for health coverage through KidCare/CHIP, ensuring continuous access to vital health services! Thanks, Joe!
Today the Biden Administration issued a final regulation on Medicaid + CHIP eligibility w/ some important wins for children.
These critical policy changes will help to protect children from harmful gaps in their health insurance coverage.

Oh, well.
A Florida man's poll numbers cratered. His loss of support from both voters and donors meant that there was little point in continuing on to more inevitable defeats. Guess who?
DeSantis is down to 18%, a point less than his standing a week prior. Culture wars & Machiavellian politics only work in the microcosm of those who owe you favors. Thankfully, this country owed s DeSantis NOTHING.

This is a policy choice. America is the only rich country where innocent civilians are routinely slaughtered in their daily lives.
Turnout for the Miami-Dade Primary has reached 15%, extremely low but expected. As of 10:30 am, Democrats lead by 4.6k votes, up 1k in the last hour. It takes a second to stop in and vote. Polls are open 'til 7pm.
Early Voting for HD 118 started today. With less than 2 hours before polls close, 22 people have voted. Yep, a whopping 22. There are 113,000+ registered voters in the district. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, "If you don't vote, don't complain."
BOO HOO 60% of FLORIDIANS ALREADY REGISTERED TO VOTE

The state is grasping at straws and coming up with every excuse possible to delay things. Thankfully, the Judge is not entertaining them.
For those wondering why I’m crying. It’s not because of this denial. It’s because I can’t wrap my head around how government officials have lost all sense of humanity - to the point that we must fight harder for what’s right than for them to fundraise to win an election.

As per my sources, there were about 1000…
“Florida opts out 250 million in summer food aid for families.” The worst part about this and lack of Medicaid expansion is that Florida voters have paid their taxes into this and will not be getting their fair share.
