"Explosively intensifies" never seen that phrasing in a NHC update... And I don't want to see that in an NHC update

Hey @BeauDemayo I'm hosting a segment with Central Fl Public Media regarding the Pulse remembrance next week. Would it be possible to speak with you on your memories of the club and how it influenced your work?

🚩Florida is notorious for its high rates of uninsured residents, yet lawmakers continue to refuse federal funds to close the coverage gap.
🗳️ It’s time to let Florida voters make the call! Sign the petition to put Medicaid expansion on the ballot at floridadecideshealthcare.org…. – at Florida, USA
The Florida Supreme Court released its decision in the abortion argument:

OS has provided vital, honest coverage of Dorworth’s controversies, including his quest to develop Seminole’s rural area and his ties to disgraced tax collector Joel Greenberg. Alden has been awful, but they don’t meddle in coverage. His quote here makes clear Dorworth would.
Lobbyist and GOP former lawmaker @ChrisDorworth posted on X that he is “working with others … to put together a credible offer to purchase the @orlandosentinel from Alden Capital.” ⤵️
I had to quit working for a paper I loved because I couldn't afford to cover the city I lived in. After 5 years of no contract, it seems pretty clear that Alden doesn't see the value of its own journalists, or refuses to.

For 34 years, FL parents have been barred from suing docs who killed their adult children. SB 248 aims to change that, with a catch: a limit on pain & suffering payouts. The bill passed the FL senate Monday but still needs to pass the house. More:
