🚨Desantis CAUGHT FUNNELING $35 MILLION away from Floridians?!? Katie Phang



Dec 30, 2025
Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year that would have legalized recreational marijuana & would have guaranteed a right to an abortion. Katie Phang with the Miami Herald’s blockbuster reporting and analysis on how the money was spent, cheating needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds.

Ron De Sepsis is a Republican. Like all Republicans, he'll never pass up a chance to lie, cheat, and steal. In his fevered mind, Floridians are livestock to be fleeced, slaughtered, or both. Republicans are sociopaths, otherwise they wouldn't BE Republicans, so De Sepsis has zero regard for his constituents' health and welfare.

Because the more kids in damaged households, the more disposable chattel for the Palm Beach Rape set, and oh, no we simply can't allow THOSE donors any inconvenience whatsoever....
