'Sabotage': DeSantis team blasts texts across state criticizing Republicans

The feud between the governor and Florida Republicans is intensifying.

Florida House members had an interesting Wednesday thanks to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Around noon Eastern time, constituents of Republican lawmakers around the state started getting a text message.

“It’s Gov. DeSantis. Florida House leaders are working with Democrats to stop our agenda and sabotage Florida’s success,” it read. “Call your State Rep ... and tell them to stand with the people and me to keep Florida free!”

Florida House members were deluged with calls, three elected officials told the Times/Herald.

The texts came from Restore Our Nation (RON) PAC, a DeSantis-associated committee that is dedicated to supporting “energetic, conservative leadership that delivers on its word,” according to its fundraising webpage.

This isn't going to really help Casey DeSantis win the Republican nomination for governor this next election...

and his former chief-of-staff (who's now Florida's attorney general, the state's chief law enforcement officer) apparently coordinated the suspicious money transfer. The situation is only going to get messier as time goes on.

HR recruiter said they had very few applicants and I was the first one that applied who was qualified. If I get this spot, add another blue speck in the map for Florida.

I'm 15 minutes away from ski slopes here in California and am part owner with my siblings in a house near Yosemite. I WILL miss the mountains, forests, etc. But have to go where the work is. In about ten years I can retire and head back to the left coast, but probably go to my wife's home state of Oregon.

Talked to a friend last night, he was a big time right winger, not as much anymore. Told me he will probably work until he dies as he never saved anything for retirement. I know others who are the same, seems to be a common trait.
