Remember the building blocks ad that Ron Desantis wanted to be Trump like. He is working at it very hard.

Watchdog group wants DeSantis held in contempt over withholding public records
The Florida Center for Government Accountability has asked for records related to DeSantis’ migrant flights.
TALLAHASSEE — A public records watchdog on Wednesday asked a Tallahassee judge to charge the DeSantis administration with contempt of court for continuing to withhold public records about its handling of the relocation of migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard in September.
DeSantis on September 14 transported about 50 mostly-Venezuelan migrants from San Antonio, Texas, to Martha's Vineyard—an affluent island off Cape Cod—to call attention to what Republicans see as a lack of border security under President Joe Biden. Meanwhile, Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent migrants to Vice President Kamala Harris' Washington, D.C., residence last month.
Critics blasted DeSantis for using migrants as a political stunt, not alerting local authorities about the migrants' arrival and allegedly lying to them about where they were going. Legal pressure against the Republican governor continues to build, with Monday's lawsuit the latest to be filed against him.
The lawsuit alleges DeSantis' office failed to produce several public records about the state's "relocation program," which was requested in September, and has not asserted any exemption to public records laws that would otherwise require their release.
This is Republicans Great White Hope for 2024?
Now….
Digging in — The legal back and forth over whether Gov. Ron DeSantis will have to testify in response to the federal lawsuit filed by suspended Hillsborough County prosecutor Andrew Warren continues.
Response— Warren’s team fired back on Monday at the arguments made by Attorney General Ashley Moody and her team about whether the governor can be compelled to explain why he acted against Warren in August. Last week, Solicitor General Henry Whitaker asked a federal judge to block Warren from calling either DeSantis or James Uthmeier, the governor’s chief of staff, to the witness stand. Whitaker argued Warren’s team had enough information and evidence elsewhere to leave the governor alone.
How we got here — DeSantis suspended Warren for a handful of reasons, including a pledge the elected state attorney made to not enforce certain laws, such as the state’s recently enacted ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy without rape or incest exemptions. Warren has sued in federal court, contending that his First Amendment rights were violated. (New filings suggest DeSantis’ attorneys were unprepared for this legal argument and instead assumed the legal battle would play out in state court or before the Florida Senate.) Normally there are legal doctrines that make it harder to depose top government officials or bring into court. But the door was left open for court testimony amid a tug of war over whether the governor can be deposed.
We don’t need the governor, but— Now there was some gamesmanship included in the more than 20-page response filed by Warren’s team. His lawyers suggested it was premature to rule on the governor’s testimony and stated that they could prove their case against DeSantis without him taking the stand. So does that mean they are just bluffing? But then they also scoffed at the notion of blocking the governor’s testimony, pointing to DeSantis talking about Warren repeatedly during the last few months ahead of his reelection.
He has lost quite a few lawsuits to date but who is counting?

I can see why the Former Guy is upset with DeSantis. He is a want a be Trump without the big mouth but still has the small heart and dictator attitude. . He is costing the poeple of Florida and these nuts keep voiting him back in. If he runs for President and wins, it will cost America as well. The Desantis donors need to keep an eye open for money they donate going to lawyers. It is a Trump shit show for sure all over again. I personally believe Desantis is worse than Trump. He is sneaky and coniving whereas Trump is just out there with bluster. Trump knows Desantis can’t be trusted because all in all Trump thinks he is the King, he does not want a want a be Florida man to steal his thunder. Trump did not have the foresight to rig the election but someone like Desantis could.
We the people with good sense are under DeSantis’s thumb, Start now taking this guy apart because HE IS DANGEROUS and a threat. I am quite sure he has many skeletons in his closet and what he don’t have, I am sure Trump will throw some in the closet..real or not.
I didn’t think we could possibly get worse than Trump but we can. DeSantis is his name.

your reminder that Elon Musk is not an engineer, Donald Trump is not a successful businessman and Ron DeSantis is not a human being
It makes one wonder….Is Desantis a werewolf or vampire? It appears he is a Vampire. He is bleeding Florida dry and what happens in Florida never stays in Florida.
Ron to the Rescue ..Super Pac to start running ads in Iowa
for Desantis 2024
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The 2024 general election is more than 700 days away, but political advertisements in the race for president are already popping up. That includes those touting candidates who haven't yet announced a run for the White House.
New super PAC "Ron to the Rescue" dropped its first online Wednesday night. GOP strategist John Thomas created the group hoping to, he said, build a foundation for Gov. Ron DeSantis's presidential run if and when the Republican announces.
"The American people need to show the governor we've got his back," Thomas said. "We need to put in place the infrastructure so that we have a turn-key operation that we can hand over to the governor, if and when he decides to run for president."
