    DeSantis signs Florida fluoride ban. What comes next?
    Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill today that will stop local governments from putting fluoride in water.



    The bill DeSantis signed doesn’t specifically mention fluoride. Instead, it bans local governments from putting anything in the water that doesn’t help with improving water quality or reducing contaminants.



    The move to block fluoride has been decried by major health organizations, which warn that it would negatively affect residents’ health.

    Good news is it's still in all your other beverages, can vegetables and Beer HA

      Why are right wingers always trying to take their constituents backwards? It's absolutely ridiculous.
      It's like they have to check their brains at the door when they become politicians.

              Trump slashing weather agencies comes on the heels of a devastating Florida hurricane season
              About 550 people have left the National Weather Service, around 10% of its staff, since government cuts began this year, according to a letter from the agency earlier this month.



              The Tampa Bay office is down by six people. That includes two employees considered “operational,” meteorologists who work on a rotating 24/7 schedule.



              Workers have been caught in a limbo of confusing firings and rehirings.



              With another hurricane season almost upon us, it’s unclear how staffing changes may impact the accuracy of weather and storm forecasts.

                  Years ago the weather channel did an excellent job of tracking and forecasting. Then NBC bought them. Most of their top on air meteorologists went elsewhere.

                    I have to pay close attention to the weather because I live in a very flood prone neighborhood and have to move my cars on even a minor storm and I've been making my own forecasts for close to 10 years now based on easily available data on the web on sites like Windy. Once you know how to use the tools Windy now puts at your fingertips there is no need to watch a TV weather forecast.

                      BREAKING: Donald Trump's crooked Attorney General Pam Bondi gets rocked with bad news as a formal complaint is filed with the Florida Bar accusing her of "serious professional misconduct" in her current job.
                      And it gets even better...

                      Roughly 70 law professors, attorneys, and former Florida Supreme Court justices Barbara J. Pariente and Peggy A. Quince have banded together to file the ethics complaint in question.

                      In it, they accuse the nakedly partisan MAGA AG of violating her ethical duties and engaging in "serious professional misconduct that threatens the rule of law and the administration of justice."

                      It alleges that she has "sought to compel Department of Justice lawyers to violate their ethical obligations under the guise of ‘zealous advocacy’" that was made clear in a February memo she sent to everyone in the Justice Department on her first day on the job.

                      They cite specific instances where Bondi and her equally corrupt senior team "ordered Department lawyers to do things those lawyers were ethically forbidden from doing, under threat of suspension or termination—or fired them for not having done so."

                      The complaint accuses Bondi of threatening DOJ attorneys with termination unless they chose to "to zealously pursue the President’s political objectives."

                      According to the complaint, Bondi has not only violated longstanding norms that ensure the nonpartisan nature of the Justice Department but also run afoul of the Florida Bar's conduct rules.

                      The group drew attention to the Florida Bar's refusal to pursue two prior ethics complaints against Bondi, stating that the "the Florida Bar’s dismissal is unsupported by history or precedent" because its policy of not investigating/prosecuting "sitting officers appointed under the U.S. Constitution while they are in office" does not shield a Florida-licensed lawyer if they've been accused of abusing a federal position of power.

                      When she was testifying at her confirmation hearing, Bondi claimed that the alleged "weaponization" of the Justice Department would end under her leadership. Sticking to the fascist playbook, she accused Democrats of doing what she herself intended on doing.

                      Under Bondi, the Justice Department has become a partisan attack dog for the far-right MAGA agenda. She isn't interested in upholding the rule of law or defending our democracy. All she cares about is abusing her power to further ingratiate herself with Trump and advance her own career.

                      This woman should be removed from her position, disbarred, investigated, and prosecuted.

                            Breaking the law

                            The judge said Florida's attorney general was unconvincing in his arguments that he didn’t violate her order putting the law on hold. https://bit.ly/3HNtDDl
