The Doctor is in

Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity” to continue to promote the monoclonal and other treatments being used to combat the COVID-9 virus and its variants.

Dr. Ladapo called out the “failed leadership” at the federal level.

“It would be a huge benefit to the American population if they had access, ready access to outpatient therapy, but the situation we're in is actually reflective of the situation we've been in basically the entire pandemic. Which is that the federal level leadership has just failed to see the value in treating people and has created this one track for managing the pandemic and it doesn't work for everyone.”-Dr. Joseph Ladapo

Ron DeSantis-Without a shred of clinical data to support its decision, the Biden Administration has revoked the emergency use authorization for lifesaving monoclonal antibody treatments.

State Senator Tina Polsky-Part of my debate today in Education committee against SB 1300 which seeks to cut school board salaries and require schools to open up every book to parental oversight. The testimony was very ugly attacking our schools, exposing prejudice and lies.

Blaise Ingoglia-It’s kind of fitting that the new Omicron variant is named BA.2 (blood alcohol level .2) because mandate-crazy lockdown Democrats are drunk with power.

Representative Fentrice Driskell-Bills Democrats introduced seeking major changes for recreational weed have yet to receive a committee hearing in Tallahassee. This is a conversation that is long overdue our State. This is what Floridians want us to consider and find a pathway forward.

Rep. Angie Nixon-Jaguars hired a Black Head Coach. I never would’ve thought. #DTWD #DUUUVALK

Jeanette Nuñez-Happy #NationalFloridaDay to the freest state in the union.

Rep. Ted Deutch-One year ago, President Biden signed an Executive Order that ensured transgender Americans could again serve openly in the military. Strengthening our national security means investing in our service members, our diversity, and the dignity of all.
