Florida lawmakers Thursday gave final approval to a bill that seeks to keep children under age 16 off social-media platforms, as Gov. Ron DeSantis continued to raise concerns about the measure.

A House committee on Wednesday approved a controversial measure that would allow parents to file civil lawsuits seeking damages for the wrongful death of an “unborn child,” with critics of the bill saying it is too broad and could shrink the number of doctors who deliver babies in Florida.

A federal judge this week stood behind his rulings that Florida could challenge Biden administration immigration policies, after an appeals court ordered him to reconsider the issue.

Despite its critical role in bridging the digital divide, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has yet to bring a bill for ACP extension to the floor, putting millions at risk of losing affordable internet access.

     More than half of Black women 20 and older have heart disease. According to a recent report by the EH Project, they’re also 2.4 times more likely to develop heart disease than white women. The same report showed that, as of 2019, the age-adjusted death rate from heart disease was 165 per 100,000 in Black women compared to 129.6 per 100,000 in white women. Coronary artery disease, which restricts blood flow to the heart, is more common in Black women as well.

     The newly reported infections bring the total to eight, just days after Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo contradicted federal and medical professional guidance to contain the spread of the highly contagious and preventable disease that’s resurging globally and in the U.S. Florida is one of 11 states that have seen cases this year.

     Worse yet, the so-called mainstream media went berserk with the story. When he first ran, they’d asked: Is Biden too old to run? Since he won, they’ve asked: Is he too old to run again? Next, I guess, the question will be: When will he die?

   America has devolved into a Fascists nation under the leadership of former president Trump,  Hitler’s protégé.  This dismantling isn’t  due entirely to the emergence of  Trump. Rather, it’s aided by the white supremacy ideology which remains a central core of America’s democracy.

      Landlords routinely ignore judgments ordered by judges in municipal and other courts that hear landlord-tenant issues. They criminally neglect to maintain and repair heating and cooling systems, stoves, refrigerators, leaky windows, garbage disposals, and more.

     Guess what, Republican infantile “leaders”? Even your own voters, as cult-like as they may be in rapt adoration of the least adorable leader imaginable, do not want to suddenly lose the basic functioning of the government that all our hard work funds. And even your own colleagues, such as Patrick McHenry (R-NC), call this completely avoidable and unnecessary.
