6. The sponsor of the bill, Anderson, is financially backed by @WaltDisneyCo, which donated 2K to his campaign Disney promised last year to create "a new framework for our political giving that... better reflects our values" The company did not respond to a request for comment — PolitiTweet.org

5. While Republican lawmakers focus on legislating pronouns, more than half of all Florida children live in or near poverty. Florida students also have the worst learning rate in the nation. https://t.co/wgZq28yp2J — PolitiTweet.org

4. The bill would also extend the ban on classroom instruction on “sexual orientation or gender identity” through the eighth grade instead of the third grade. This expansion is supported by the Florida Senate President and Florida House Speaker DeSantis hasn't commented yet — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. The bill would literally legislate trans people out of existence in Florida schools According to the bill, “a person’s sex is an immutable biological trait and... it is false to ascribe to a person a pronoun that does not correspond to such person’s sex.” — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. Florida Representative Adam Anderson (R) introduced a bill that would, among other things, ban the use of pronouns that don’t align with a student’s or employee’s sex at birth. https://t.co/wgZq28yp2J — PolitiTweet.org

1. Florida schools are removing books w/LGBTQ characters, taking down rainbow flags, & canceling LGBTQ History Month This is all due to the "Don't Say Gay" law, signed by DeSantis last year But now, Florida Republicans are rallying around a major EXPANSION of Don't Say Gay 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

@atrembath I suppose this could cause someone to be depressed but it could also cause someone to be motivated — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@atrembath If that is your definition, sure. But activists on both sides of the aisle present the problems they are focused on as urgent and emphasize the costs of inaction. Look at how DeSantis talks about libraries. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@MikeMitchNH @mattyglesias Right, I guess it's just a matter of definitions. I think it's good to talk about problems as long as you don't create a sense of hopelessness about it. I don't really see Bernie do that but I understand he has sharp critiques of the status quo. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@MikeMitchNH @mattyglesias I'd be curious if Matt agrees with that. I think Bernie is probably the worst example. Just listen to any of his presidential stump speeches. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@mattyglesias Right but you said a lot of progressive leaders. So I’m looking for one specific example of a progressive leader and something that leader said. I’m open to the idea there are a lot of examples. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@atrembath Not actually an answer. I’m not trolling. Just looking for a specific example. — PolitiTweet.org

The Shasta County board of supervisors canceled their contract with Dominion last month over bogus claims of voter fraud and yesterday voted 3-2 to pilot a hand-voting system after one member of the board received a promise of financial support from MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. — PolitiTweet.org

Stop publishing op-eds with the word "woke" until someone provides a coherent definition of the term challenge — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
The amazing part of this op-ed is he is quite explicit that he was fine with Disney's corporate welfare until the company said it supported LGBTQ rights. Then it had to be punished. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Of course this will never happen, DeSantis wants corporations to support him and his political ideology — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Since DeSantis believes corporations should stay out of politics, I look forward to him rejecting all corporate political donations https://t.co/7A8YJmxn4Q — PolitiTweet.org

What is an example of a progressive leader who encourages people to embrace “maximum catastrophism”? — PolitiTweet.org

A new bill introduced in the Florida legislature would dissolve the Florida Democratic Party and convert all registered Democrats to "no party affiliation" This is not a joke. — PolitiTweet.org

10. Cohen was sentenced to three years in federal prison for campaign finance violations and other crimes. The Manhattan DA recently empaneled a grand jury to hear evidence implicating Trump https://t.co/CPb77MuNiI — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
9. AMI & its officers also faced potential criminal liability but signed a non-prosecution agreement in exchange for their cooperation w/a broader criminal inquiry. That investigation led to a guilty plea by Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney, for his role in the scheme — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
8. The fine was the result of the AMI paying $150,000 for the exclusive rights to the story of former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who claimed she had an affair with Trump. AMI admitted the purpose of the expenditure was to "kill" the story & help Trump https://t.co/CPb77MuNiI — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. There is recent precedence for this. In June 2021, the FEC fined AMI, the parent company of the National Enquirer, $187,000 for making an illegal in-kind contribution to the Trump campaign. https://t.co/CPb77MuNiI — PolitiTweet.org

@SGhoshCLC @CampaignLegal 6. @brendan_fischer, another campaign finance expert, agreed. Fischer told Popular Information that "if Murdoch shared a Biden campaign ad w/the Trump campaign before it ran, then Murdoch, or Fox, very likely would have made an illegal corporate contribution 2 the Trump campaign" — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@SGhoshCLC @CampaignLegal 5. There is a broad media exception to the prohibition of corporate in-kind contributions. But Rick Hasen, a law professor at UCLA and an expert in election law, says it wouldn't apply because the "ads were not shared for the purpose of newsgathering or opinion writing." — PolitiTweet.org
