Biden administration steps up against Ron DeSantis
This past week Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gave in to a smidgeon of reality when he quietly acknowledged that he can’t actually withhold the salaries of school board personnel who dare to require masks in schools.
But just in case DeSantis gets any funny ideas about trying anything illegal, the Biden administration is now stepping up by offering to pay any salaries that DeSantis might withhold:

Ron DeSantis has turned Florida into an absolute disaster, and he’s apparently intent on killing as many of his constituents as possible. This isn’t working out for him; he’s now trailing in his 2022 reelection bid in one major poll. It’ll take a nationwide effort to oust DeSantis in 2022, but it’s highly possible, and it’ll end his 2024 presidential ambitions.
