We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

DRIPA (Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act) was passed unanimously in by all members from all parties. UNANIMOUSLY. We meant it then and we mean it now. Eby doesn’t get to change that because it’s unpopular with lobbyists and he failed to do anything to educate/prepare the public.
