DeSantis signed what bills?

DeSantis has been on a roll – no, not whole wheat, a wholly horrible tear, signing bad bills on immigration and voting rights into law.

Disney’s enemy #1 has been a busy beaver [not to insult beavers], and this episode dissects two of the many bills [SB1718 & SB7050] passed on his watch that are causing a ruckus in Florida and beyonds its borders. Made possible by the ever-wonderful, Devon Murphy-Anderson, the co-founder of Mi Vecino, an on-the-ground voter engagement and registration org in the state, a walk-through of each of these bills and what they mean for Floridians is front and center.
