What is DeSantis doing while this public health disaster unfolds and 38,741 Floridians die so far under his watch? He is selling anti-mask campaign merch.

We now have a governor in Florida who pushes politically motivated legislation and enforces it selectively to his political convenience.

The Florida governor increasingly acts like an authoritarian rather than a governor elected by a razor-thin margin of about 30,000 votes.

We cannot afford a continuation of the Republican trifecta that has controlled both chambers of the Florida Legislature and Governor’s mansion for 20 years.

Florida is very much a winnable state for Joe Biden.

Being able to cast a vote is the most basic right in a democracy.

If it took a whistleblower for the public to know about these brutal hysterectomies, what else don’t we know?

This is the price we are paying—we are on day 165 of this crisis and there are no signs that things are getting better.

Her tenure as state attorney for Miami-Dade is patterned by a refusal to hold power accountable.

People might think I’m being alarmist, but I am not. 

Gov. DeSantis is not up to the task, and we as Floridians left with the responsibility of saving our own lives in the meantime, cannot in good conscience allow him to continue his unmitigated spreading of lies in the name of political expediency. 

In 2020, we are in danger of repeating the same mistake.

In the midst of it all, DeSantis and his acolytes still find the time to push policies like E-Verify that harm vulnerable populations. It’s cruel and completely unnecessary.

Just a few weeks ago, he was claiming victory over coronavirus. 

Law enforcement often touts tear gas as a non-lethal, crowd dispersal weapon, but it is actually a lot more dangerous than that.

Instead of undermining our democratic processes for political gain, we should demand that instead we institute national vote by mail so people can vote safely at a time when they are at risk due to a global pandemic.

This lackluster performance in the midst of this crisis has hurt the Trump ally.

It does not have to be like this.

This lack of leadership from representatives of Florida is unacceptable.

While Trump played political games with people’s lives, I saw firsthand the fear and anxiety that these threats cause.

In attendance were Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Kamala Harris, Governor Jay Inslee, and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Julián Castro.
