😢 💙 My President 💙 😢
Powerful questions from
@POTUS
:
Do we still believe in honesty? Does character matter? Will we choose hope over hate & choose unity over division?
President Biden said it’s been his privilege-no Mr. President, the honor & privilege has been ours 💙
Serious question…why can’t I locate ANY live cams of this “massive invasion” happening at the border?
Lots of bridge & checkpoint cams (all relatively quiet) but all “border wall” cams seem to be “offline”
If this is such an out of control invasion, why no live footage ??
Anyone else curious why Desantis has not removed Bridget Ziegler from the Sarasota School Board?
We all know he’s comfortable doing it. He’s removed 23 elected officials in 4 yrs~a total impressive enough to consider:”Elected By The People…Removed By Desantis” as our new motto
@RonDeSantis
You hijacked the amazing work the VETERANS of Project Dynamo were already doing - flying Americans home from Israel - & fleeced Florida taxpayers in order to buy yourself a political theater publicity stunt, hoping someone might praise you & help salvage your pathetic campaign
@mitchellvii
DeSantis didn’t win a single debate & dropped in the polls, governor w/ the lowest approval ratings, endorsed a governor w/ 2nd lowest approval ratings & DeSantis’s dropped in the polls, Desantis rudely snubbed the President of HIS country after Idalia, & he dropped in the polls
This! Too many times I’ve been told to move by the DeSantis cult… usually they’re not very nice about it. I’ve lived in Florida almost 24 yrs & I’m not going anywhere. We need to restore our state to the welcoming, inclusive, accepting & amazing State that was before DeSantis
If you're unhappy with the current state of things in Florida, ignore those who tell you to leave. Just stay here and vote to change things.

Agreed! There are valid issues at the border - but these claims of “it’s an invasion, we’re under attack & the border is wide open” are not only intentionally exaggerated,they are dangerously inflammatory. The GOP is putting the demands of Trump ahead of the needs of the country!
New Florida governor approval poll as of December 2023 shows DeSantis’ approval ratings have dropped 27 pts and his favorability has dropped 18 pts.
Governor Ron DeSantis Underwater in New Statewide Polling
The GOP has to come up with a back up plan for Florida high schoolers. Thanks to DeSantis’ destruction of our education system, our kids can no longer compete nationally from an academic perspective. Florida’s AVG SAT scores have declined 51 PTS since Desantis took office
BREAKING: A Florida House committee has approved a GOP bill to let bosses schedule 16-and-17-year-olds for over 8 hours on a school night and over 30 hours a week.
One Republican said "we've been weakening our society" and the remedy is to have kids "start working full-time."
@RonDeSantis
I was going to make a comment about how I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone get slaughtered on a debate stage the way you did last night, then realized I didn’t have to after reading the comments & seeing that is what everyone was saying over and over and over and over…🤣
@RonDeSantis
A 62-year-old pastor in Florida has just been arrested on horrific sexual battery charges involving a 15-year-old girl.
He was released on bond the same day
@CaseyDeSantis
@RonDeSantis
Those flights were scheduled to go with, or without the tiny governor hitching his “ I need attention” cart to them… his constant craving for praise, and accolades is costing the Florida taxpayers millions. So thankful the American public sees through this self-centered charade
Florida is one step away from making it a criminal offense for a parent to select a name for their child that, in the states opinion, doesn’t correspond to the child’s sex or maybe they will just decide to prohibit the selection of any name not on a “DeSantis” approved list
Interesting stats on homelessness in Florida since DeSantis took office: homelessness has increased 18% from 2019 - 2023, sadly, veteran homelessness increased almost 12% under DeSantis. FL ranks 3rd in the US in homelessness & has the 2nd highest number of homeless veterans
@GovRonDeSantis
Your record in appeals quote isn’t necessarily stellar… my money is on Disney coming out on top of this one. You can’t restrict free speech no matter how hard you continue to try.
@TooMuchMe
Legislated by design… Desantis’ goal was always to make difficult for teachers by forcing them to submit their union dues by mailing a check, perpetuating the opportunity for teachers unions to drop below the minimum membership threshold and subject to decertification.
@Jason_Garcia
@PorterLandrum
Desantis is literally the poster child for knee-jerk politics, & knee jerk legislation. He craves attention & relevancy so badly he can’t stop himself from grabbing a hold of whatever the latest headline is, and exploit the hell out of it, hoping someone will clap for him.
@RonDeSantis
Typical Desantis hypocrisy… accepting an award from a college organization that engages in political activism after he PROHIBITED Florida colleges & universities from supporting student organizations that engage in political activism. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@CaseyDeSantis
Nothing about Florida is free any longer! Your husband has seen to that! I cannot wait for his term to be over, and we can return our State to the welcoming, inclusive, diverse, accepting, and yes, FREE State that it was, before he became a governor
@TinaDescovich
Schools were not fully open… I’m in Florida. My kids were out of school from March 20 through September 1.
I’m reteaching my 18-year-old, civics, history, and English just so he can score as well as California kids do on the SAT.
Seven days and counting that I have not been allowed to follow anyone back… something seems a foot… any other
#BlueWave
peeps feeling like the “rules” are a tad bit right sided? Also my feed is full of Republicans that I do not follow…
#IfYouCantBeatEmLimitEm
@lesleyabravanel
Can confirm…currently teaching my 4.0 Gpa/straight A senior, everything the rest of the country learned while Desantis waged war on pronouns & books about a kid with 2 moms. It’s hard for me to watch my “top of his class senior” be handicapped by the Governor’s personal agenda
Well Florida, the only item left untouched in our state is # 10.
We are NOT powerless to change things. We cannot afford to stay home in November, unless we want the last item in the list checked off as well
#FightBackFL
A 60 Minutes investigation into DeSantis’ migrants flights aired yesterday…
“After eight months, they uncovered what Salazar has called a covert criminal operation carried out by individuals who were contracted by DeSantis's office”
@GovRonDeSantis
Based on the limited details provided re: homeowners insurance, your plan appears to be a 1 yr waiver of state fees & assessments that are tacked onto policy premiums. That will save the avg Floridian approximately $100/ yr. After reviewing my premium, I’ll save $57 dollars. 🤦🏼♀️
Very happy to hear Disney is not giving up! Dangerous implications to let a governor continue to weaponize his administration to seek revenge on anyone that dare disagree with him.
#DontBackDownDisney
Disney takes fight against DeSantis to appeals court
@craigtimes
@AshleyMoodyFL
Wouldn’t want Florida citizens to have any say in what happens in their state, let alone weigh in on what rights they should have or not have… There’s no such thing as the “will of the people” in Florida
Can someone please give DeSantis his participation trophy? Maybe after he gets it we won’t have to listen to him constantly brag about visiting 99 counties.. he acts like that should instantly garner him the nomination.
@TeamDeSantis
He literally hijacked an operation already underway by Project Dynamo, pillaging millions more from Florida tax payers for publicity for an embarrassing campaign. He took credit for someone else’s good deed, one they were doing without fanfare or demanding people clap for them
@DeSantisWarRoom
@RonDeSantis
Does Desantis not remember who was President in 2020? How does anyone have the gall to make statements like that knowing full well they’re completely false. Gen Z is laughing at him.
@FLWillRegret22
My gut says after he crawls back to Florida, with his nationally embarrassed tail between his legs, he will pass legislation that amends the state constitution and removes Gubernatorial term limits. Allowing him to run again.
When do you think we’ll get live footage from the “Take Our Border Back” convoy of the “thousands and thousands of illegals streaming over the Texas border daily” ? Or any stats on the number of illegals apprehended by DeSantis’ military as they crossed the border illegally?
@CaseyDeSantis
An online class seems to be the only qualification to become one of your “trusted adults” .
Hard pass! Takes a lot more than an online class before I consider someone a trusted adult capable of “guiding” my kid.
$21 million just so you can rebrand social emotional learning 🤦🏼♀️
@CarlosGSmith
DeSantis doesn’t want to accept the consequences of his actions, now that they are unpleasant.
What’s that phrase that means ~ you are responsible for your own decisions and you cannot blame anyone else for the outcomes?
I believe it’s: “You made your bed, now lie in it!”
@AnnaForFlorida
More political theatrics? Which news story will he be exploiting today or will he be announcing the removal of more rights from Floridians?
These attention craving tendencies of his are embarrassing.
@DeSantisWarRoom
@RonDeSantis
The state dept chartered flights 2 days ago. You don’t even have a plane in the air. Instead of exploiting this tragedy to salvage your tanking campaign, the ethical & moral thing to do would’ve been to contact the state dept & offer assistance. As usual you made it about you
@CaseyDeSantis
@GovRonDeSantis
No parent in America should have to worry about their child being harmed when at school either… yet in FL we loosen gun laws, lower the age of gun ownership & tell parents they are free to send their kids to school even when they have measles.
An illuminating moment just now in the Florida Capitol:
A committee in the Florida Senate is holding a hearing on yet another bill from the DeSantis administration that's meant to stop teachers and professors from talking to students about racism or sexism…
@AriDrennen
@Fievel131
She needs to be investigated. There’s a difference between free speech and inflammatory speech that jeopardizes the lives of others.
US Embassy is now having to do Desantis damage control… someone please explain to TinyD that even though they contain the same letters, “HAMAS” and the “BAHAMAS” are not the same 🤦🏼♀️
“The Bahamas and the United States enjoy an enduring and unique partnership. (Chargé D’affaires Usha Pitts) regrets if DeSantis’ comments suggested anything other than a close alliance between our two democratic nations,” statement from the U.S. Embassy.
@AndrewWarrenFL
That would be nice but highly unlikely… his governorship was always for his own personal political ambitions. It was never to better the lives of his constituents.
@RonFilipkowski
I was shocked to hear him claim the abortion amendment is confusing! It’s a short, clearly written sentence, restoring the rights women had in Florida for decades.
I found it very concerning to hear DeSantis falsely state that it overrides existing parental notification laws
If we, Florida parents, allow DeSantis to continue his unwarranted & what increasingly looks like a very personal attack on educators in our State, while ignoring & emboldening, the groups actually engaging in frivolous challenges, our kids will academically suffer for decades
Following through on Ron DeSantis’ vows, Florida Board of Education sets out development of rule change to discipline principals for frivolous book challenges
@craigtimes
@GovRonDeSantis
@jeffschweers
Florida Dems… this ongoing abuse a Florida taxpayer dollars to finance, boost & salvage an embarrassing campaign has to be breaking some type of campaign finance laws… what has JUST this recent political theater stunt cost us? 50, 60, 70 million and counting?
@NikkiFried
?
@DeSantisWarRoom
Fixed it for you:
“The contrast between DeSantis’ immature, egocentric, attention-seeking, political theatre stunts and the selfless, mature, steady, experienced leadership we are witnessing from President Biden couldn’t be more pronounced than it is in this situation.”
So can Floridians now hold him to the same accountability standards ? Can we demand he: no longer shields his travel records from the public,stops rewriting constitutional law for his own personal benefit & ceases the fleecing of taxpayers to defend his make-believe culture wars?
Proud to announce that I am working with the FL Legislature to certify the following four constitutional amendments under Article V:
1. Term limits 2. Balanced budget requirement 3. Line-item veto and 4. Requirement that all laws apply to members of Congress w/o exemptions
Is it just me or does it seem like everyone that’s hopping on this “blame President Biden for the immigration crisis”bandwagon, lack the capacity to do any type of research or look up any information? Just look at these stats:
@4TiffanyJustice
Voters sent a clear message & this FL parent, who has watched DeSantis strip us of the fundamental right to direct the upbringing, education, & care of our kids if we don’t agree with his extreme beliefs, applaud those who voted to defend rights for ALL parents last night!
DeSantis has failed to gain ground in Iowa, dropped to 3rd in 8 states, & dead last in New Hampshire. When he crawls back to Florida after his national embarrassment, do you think Floridians will be dealing with the typical retaliatory DeSantis or next level retaliatory DeSantis?
I don’t want to hear one bit of thoughts & prayers from DeSantis after last night’s mass shooting! I hope he never feels the terror this mom felt when she couldn’t get a hold of her 22-year-old son this morning He is safe, thank god but other parents didn’t fare so lucky. ENOUGH
Republicans are fast-tracking HB 1639, mandating all Florida health care plans cover anti-LGBTQ conversion therapy-- a dangerous and debunked practice that falsely claims to turn gay people straight and trans people cis.
And it will RAISE insurance costs on ALL Floridians.
@NvrBackDown24
No, he doesn’t deal with DC theater… largely because DC still doesn’t notice him - Plus, he’s way too busy with his own RD political theater. How about taking care of the state that is paying you a full-time salary for the less than part-time job you’re doing?
@GovRonDeSantis
This just reeks of desperation-down again in the polls, across-the-board with Christie hot on his heels in New Hampshire threatening to bump DeSantis into 4th place.
As usual when witnessing DeSantis “podium preaching”, he is all show, no substance.
#NeverWithDesantis
Florida Rep Primary votes for Haley speak volumes about how fed up Floridians are with DeSantis’ bullying, his hate crusade and his ridiculous & petty political theatrics
How many times have we seen this reaction? Who in the right mind would would think that an easily flustered, thin-skinned, quick-tempered man-child could run a country, when he can’t even handle the 10-20 people that show up to listen to him “doing his thing”.
@GovRonDeSantis
Bob Graham cared about Florida & Floridians!
I miss the days when Florida had a governor that put people before politics! One that focused on unity instead of division, inclusivity not indoctrination, governing rather than dictating & one who promoted tolerance rather than hate
This really riled me up! It is not the teachers, not the media, & not “liberal activists” challenging 1000’s of books! ! I’ve been to school board meetings & witnessed M4L, FLCA & other right wing extremist groups, challenge 100’s of books none of which contained photography 😡
I’m working with the Florida Legislature to address frivolous challenges to classroom materials and directing
@EducationFL

@RepMTG
Either you don’t understand foreign policy or you are intentionally spreading false information… either way you have no business being in congress
@KimReynoldsIA
@RonDeSantis
Florida has reduced its debt every year since 2010. If you want to highlight something that sets DeSantis apart from his predecessors, why not brag about the estimated 33 million for legal expenses defending his unconstitutional legislation ( 2019 through current 2023 budget)
@RpsAgainstTrump
DeSantis wants to remove President Biden from the Florida ballot because border apprehensions are at an all-time high ? DeSantis is a joke.
@RonDeSantis
Let me guess, under you, we’d never suffer military loss? Easy to be a Monday morning quarterback! If we apply the same logic: every casualty suffered under Trump is because of his weak leadership, & every law-enforcement loss in Florida is because you’ve made them sitting ducks
Thank you
@Potus
! As a Floridian, it makes me proud to see my President be a President for ALL Americans… unfortunately in Florida, we can’t say the same for our Governor
As Black History Month begins, I'm reminded of Amelia Boynton's reflection on Bloody Sunday.
"You can never know where you're going unless you know where you've been."
This month, let's remember where we've been and recognize that our only way forward is by marching together.
@BryanDGriffin
@UF
So many judges have disagreed with that statement. The judge last week that handed DeSantis another loss noted “Once again, the State of Florida has a First Amendment problem. Of late, it has happened so frequently, some might say you can set your clock by it.”
Every Floridian knows that we, FL taxpayers, footed the bill for his pre-May campaign travel aka “ book tour” This governor seems to think he can pick and choose which laws he follows, and if he can’t get around one, he simply writes a new law. America definitely dodged a bullet
@PeterSchorschFL
@MarginalizedO
@RonDeSantis
He’s always acted like he’s from a different reality… I’m not sure how his embarrassing campaign, that quickly concluded with him throwing in the towel then picking up his toys and running home after one primary, has amplified his over inflated ego but apparently it has…
Gunshine State ! Shootings in the last 7 days: April 15-22, 2024
- 18 killed
- 25 injured (including a man shot in a high school parking lot this morning)
Totals for THE LAST 2 WEEKS:
- 37 people killed
