New: Nearly 20 years after its family welfare chief was fined & resigned after her agency failed to move mentally ill inmates into treatment centers, FL is again in court over the same problem, which has worsened since & could expose FL to pricy lawsuits. floridapolitics.com/archives/75287…

I read today about how the land of Rubio's parents is starving as a result of Cuba's atrocious leadership and exacerbated by a U.S. blockade. Rubio is one of the few people who can change that situation, but he's video'ed DJ'ing. It sends a message he's not serious.

I get that we all laugh at the Rubio-has-a-new-job meme, but, man, is this really what we want to see from the Secretary of State when the country is at a war so devastating to our economy that an airline has collapsed?

Update: Herbst told me he's stepping away after several months of reassessing how he wants to spend his time and energy. Herbst turned 62 in February. His brother died the month before at 68. He cited his brother's death as what prompted his change of thought.

Is a Broward gov shift coming via @GovRonDeSantis? Days after Tax Collector Abbey Ajayi paid a misconduct fine, I hear Ft. Laud Commish @JohnHerbstFtL is resigning, eff. Nov. Herbst was rumored to be seeking the Tax Coll. job last year amid word Gov was weighing Ajayi's ouster.

@JesseScheckner @AGGancarski Yall trying to make something out of nothing just like when he said monkey wrench or whatever during debate with Gillum. Pathetic.

Residents of Orlando would have to drive more than 2 hours to reach the southern end of their new congressional district in Glades County. That's how hard DeSantis map-makers had to work to dilute the impact of voters in Orange County and make this district red.

False equivalence. Racial gerrymandering can dilute voters’ power and violate the Constitution. A president weighing race in a SCOTUS pick doesn’t change anyone’s vote or rights; it’s one factor in selecting a nominee. One governs elections; the other is an appointments choice.
Clay Travis@ClayTravis

The argument in light of this ruling is pretty simple: if you can’t racially gerrymander political districts to ensure racial representation, how can you legally racially gerrymander the Supreme Court to ensure racial representation?
