It's time to end unconstitutional religious invocations at the Duval County Public Schools' board meetings. jaxtoday.org/2026/03/16/duv…

Under AG Pam Bondi, the DOJ became a cesspool of corruption. Bondi will be remembered for blocking the release of the Epstein files, weaponizing the DOJ to go after Trump’s political opponents, and handing out merger approvals as political favors. Good riddance.

Donald Trump has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Shortly after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Florida’s version of the SAVE Act, pro-voting groups moved swiftly to challenge the severe new voting restrictions, asking a federal court to block the state from requiring voters to prove their citizenship status. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/pr…

@NHarding97 @AGGancarski Using the R word is not a good look by the way. Might want to remove it from your lexicon.

@AGGancarski Favor was a retarded choice of words, likely not related to an actual exchange of benefits, but the principle remains; JEA has gotten way too arrogant, the board members don't care about the community, and there's no political will to impeach any of them, so the voters must.

Better to have voters pick the board members than politicians who owe the nominees some arcane favor.
Alex Hughes@alexhughes904

@AGGancarski @RoryDiamond Elected board members. Surely that will go smoothly, given the sterling track record of every other elected body in existence. Look no further than the current City Council for a lesson in what dysfunctional elected leadership gets you.

Huge win for the First Amendment 👏 We are glad to have helped secure this ruling: Arkansas cannot use government power to promote one religion while shutting everyone else out. The Constitution demands neutrality — and the court got it right. This monument must come down.

🚨BREAKING🚨: A federal judge just ordered Arkansas officials to TAKE DOWN the Ten Commandments monument outside the Capitol. Why? Because lawmakers rigged the system to prevent atheists and Satanists from having the same access. friendlyatheist.com/p/federal-judg…

I am listening to Ron Desantis talk about elections as he is about to sign a new voter suppression law. He is every bit as unhinged as Trump. Amazingly unhinged. As soon as he stops rambling and signs this bill, Florida will be sued. Stand by....

@CMKevinCarrico It is completely unacceptable that you would try to appoint your boss to the JEA Board. Resign.

This is completely unacceptable. Jacksonville families are already paying some of the highest water and electric bills in Florida, and now JEA is asking them to dig even deeper because of a more than $107 million budget shortfall? news4jax.com/news/local/202…

A directly elected JEA Board may be the best idea @RoryDiamond has ever had and should be a charter change. There have been people on the board over the years that I wouldn't trust to reset a breaker. Some have been duplicitous. Others, dullards. Some manage to be dual threats.
Rory Diamond@RoryDiamond

Yeah, sorry, Mr. DiSalvo, @NewsfromJEA is our business. Totally baffled how this guy is still on the board. Maybe it’s time JEA was directly accountable to the voters who own it. news4jax.com/news/local/202…
