Defamation Bill Dead on Arrival?

The controversial and anti-First Amendment defamation bill that Sen. Jason Brodeur and Rep. Alex Andrade have put forth could be scrapped this legislative session.

This is a terrible bill.

Social Media Ban Madness

The Florida Legislature has sent the Social Media ban for minors bill to Gov. Ron DeSantis for signage, but it appears that a veto awaits the measure.

Could Gov. DeSantis sign the bill as is even if he does not support it?

Could Speaker Renner use the Governor's budget as leverage to get the social media bill signed?

Thankfully, it appears personhood will not be the law of the land in our state.
