Walt Disney Co. sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday, alleging the Republican has waged a “relentless campaign to weaponize government power” against the company amid a protracted fight over a controversial classroom bill.The federal lawsuit alleges that DeSantis “orchestrated at every step” a campaign to punish Disney that now threatens the company’s business.
What’s more, he said his hand-picked board could use land it now controls — land Disney purchased originally and turned over to its Reedy Creek taxing district over the years — however it sees fit, including siting a new state prison there.“Come to think of it, what should we do with this land?” he said. “Maybe create a state park. Maybe try to do more amusement parks. Someone even said, like, maybe you need another state prison. Who knows? I just think that the possibilities are endless.”

Blaise Ingoglia (R-Spring Hill), would cancel the filings of any political party that supported slavery during the Civil War.“The Democrat party adopted pro-slavery stances in their party platforms and this bill says that if you have done that in the past, then the Secretary of State shall de-certify and get rid of the party,” Ingoglia said.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants to end a wildly successful half-century experiment in municipal governance.
The seat in question ran from Jacksonville to Tallahassee and regularly elected Black Democrats, who made up a strong majority of Democratic primary voters in the district.
