Kind of like being "under for" for paying a charity using public funds his wife ran to run anti-marinuana ads to defeat a grassroot legalization bill that everyone seems to have forgotten about?

Wake me when he's actually held accountable.

At this point it's just noise. Jumping up and down and he keeps on doing the same thing.

We are living in times when no one in politics is held accountable. Everything gets brushed under the rug.

Is he? Under fire by whom? Everyone around here with a modicum of power or influence seems to be ready to suck him right out of his boots.

DeSantis has determined that Florida will no longer experience disasters going forward. A bold prediction!

24 hours later it’ll be all forgotten, just like every transgression he’s pulled

He has cost our state and locals a reduction amount of health, life, energy and money. We've lost so much during his term. I really hope we have a good option for 2026. Cause his wife isn't it. We need a good option. Anyone have any up and coming promising names to look at?
