    "I would tell (the governor) to stop bullying kids." Kevin Brown says Gov. DeSantis had no right to tell his son and the other high school students to take off their masks. His son decided to keep his mask on during the press conference at USF. wfla.com/news/politics/… @WFLA

    "I took mine off." "Did you feel pressure by the governor to do that?" "A little." This @HillsboroughSch senior's mom says she's very upset and it was "shocking" for Gov. DeSantis to ask her son & the other high school students to take off their masks. wfla.com/news/politics/…

    Inbox: “I can't believe a grown man would bully high school students like that. He's clearly unhinged. The governor talks a lot about freedom, but only if he gets his way. That's not freedom, that's dictatorial and unacceptable,” @NikkiFried said.

    NEW: @GovRonDeSantis annoyed with USF students— "You do not have to wear those masks. Please take them off. Honestly, it's not doing anything. We've gotta stop with this Covid theater. So if you wanna wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous." bit.ly/3vx0DaJ @WFLA

    "DC Taking it back!" Like many of the more than 450 defendants nationwide, the @FBI identified Southard-Rumsey because of a tip about her own Facebook post from outside the US Capitol on January 6. wfla.com/news/local-new…

    Not planning for a voter registration surge is voter suppression. Not ensuring everyone who wants to register can do so is voter suppression. Not extending the deadline is voter suppression. @GovRonDeSantis & @FLSecofState, you must extend the deadline.orlandosentinel.com/politics/os-ne…
