Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday responded to Republican vows to investigate him after he steps down from his government roles in December.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called for doctors who perform gender reassignment surgeries on minors to be sued at a Wednesday press conference. “They talk about these very young kids getting gender-affirming care,” DeSantis said, who used air quotes while using the phrase. “What they don’t tell you what that is is that they are giving very young girls double mastectomies, they want to castrate these young boys — that’s wrong.” Several of DeSantis’ press reps have questioned the “gender-affirming care” phrase in recent months, arguing that it doesn’t specify the procedures being performed in some cases. And in April, Florida...

Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren suspended by Gov Ron DeSantis

One of the hallmarks of a bully, of a cruel human being, is attacking people who don't always have the political power or resources to defend themselves. We saw a good example of this in 2019, when the Trump administration, in a remarkably cold move, attempted to kill federal funding for the Special Olympics. If you've never seen the Special Olympics, which gives athletes with certain intellectual disabilities the opportunity to compete in several different events, it is a remarkable thing to watch. These Olympics don't just represent the best of sports. They represent the best of humanity. The motto...

Randy Rainbow Comes 'Out The Closet' To Ron DeSantis In The Most Cringe Way Possible!

It's remarkable to me how people don't hear the words coming out of their mouths. MSNBC wanted a sob story from a teacher about how Ron DeSantis' "Parental Rights in Education" bill is adversely affecting them. That's the legislation that critics call the "Don't Say Gay" bill, but people who have read it know it just says teachers can't push sex and gender on kids 3rd grade and under. MSNBC chose Cody Bernaert, who is upset he can't talk about his personal life to his students anymore. He teaches kindergarten. In other words, five-year-olds. "My kids do have questions. They...

CDC Cruise Order Decision Reversed After Florida Appeals to U.S. Supreme Court The CDC cruise order decision has been reversed after Florida appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court to allow cruise ships to disregard CDC requirements. The State of Florida has once again been successful in its ongoing dispute with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Conditional Sailing Order. The state went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to appeal an earlier decision that favored the CDC to keep its order on cruise ships in place in Florida. Florida Goes to U.S. Supreme Court Against...

Cruise Hive Cruise NewsPorts Could The Conditional Sailing Order Dispute Between the CDC and Florida Head to the Supreme Court? The ongoing dispute between Florida and the CDC over the Conditional Sailing Order is far from over and could even go to the Supreme Court. By The hold on a ruling that would see the CDC’s Conditional Sail Order reduced to a recommendation has not taken the fight out of Governor DeSantis of Florida.

With Florida's ban on vaccine passports, cruise line restart plans are becoming complicated. The first cruise ship aims to resume in June. Celebrity Cruises announced it would start sailing at the end of June with the Celebrity Edge from Fort Lauderdale on June 26. Carnival Cruise Line received permission to start sailing from three US ports (including two in Florida), and Royal Caribbean is underway to start operations from Florida. This week has been full of great news for the cruise industry. But there might be a catch. Governor DeSantis of Florida has made it clear again he is not...

Here are a few exchanges that caught the attention of YouTube’s censors: DeSantis at one point in the video asked if it was necessary for kids to wear masks in school. Dr. Kulldorff in response said “children should not wear face masks, no. They don’t need it for their own protection and they don’t need it for protecting other people, either.” The video, which was removed on Wednesday, was of a recent roundtable discussion DeSantis moderated on the global response to the pandemic. DeSantis was joined by Oxford epidemiologist Dr. Sunetra Gupta, Harvard professor Dr. Martin Kulldorff, and Dr. Scott...

The pressure to get the CDC to allow cruise operations to resume in the United States has just reached another level.

DeSantis has announced that the state is filing a lawsuit against the CDC and the federal government demanding that cruising is allowed to resume. Florida Sues CDC to Allow Cruises to Resume It’s obvious now that the cruise industry has had enough, including officials in Florida, cruise ports, cruise lines, and all the local businesses impacted by an industry that has...

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday urged federal regulators to help pave the way for a return to cruising in the United States — or else the state will consider legal action to force the matter. DeSantis made his comments at Port Canaveral's Cruise Terminal 3, during a roundtable discussion focusing on the plight of the cruise industry in Florida and nationwide. The vast, $155 million terminal that served as the venue for the event was completed last summer, but remains unused because of the cruise industry shutdown since March 2020 caused by the coronavirus pandemic. DeSantis was joined at the...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Without fanfare, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law an expansion of Florida's use of a federal database to verify an employee's immigration status. But it's far from the sweeping change he sought: Influential industries lobbied to make it optional for private employers. In a presidential election year, the issue could loom as a point of contention amid clashing ideologies over immigration. Supporters see E-Verify as a tool to keep people who are in the United States illegally from getting jobs. The Republican governor asked lawmakers to require all employers in Florida — public and private —...
