Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year.
I’ve got the @miamiherald.com‘s blockbuster reporting on how DeSantis cheated needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds.

Can anyone recommend a good desktop app for Mac (other than Apple Music) for managing your music library? Something that can handle storing, organizing, and playing local audio files. The usual recos (Elmedia, Vox, VLC) just aren't getting the job done. Looking for something akin to iTunes, I guess.

Finally, a major airline has set up a real account here--using its domain name for its handle, with a complete profile. (Southwest has a blank account.) Welcome aboard, @united.com!
