Hope Florida charity paid for hotel rooms, perks for DeSantis officials Gov. Ron DeSantis touted last year’s Governor’s Cup charity golf weekend as a fundraising success for the fledgling Hope Florida Foundation, saying it raised “massive amounts of money.”

www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/06/16/h... The two-day event at a private club illustrates not only the overlap between the foundation’s charitable arm and the DeSantis political operation, but messiness with the financial oversight of the nearly 2-year-old organization."

Confronting the Arrogant Lawlessness Senators Chris Murphy and Patty Murray incisively criticized the illegality and inhumanity of Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security. It's a start, but not enough to overcome this cruel regime.

"Your agency acts as if laws don’t matter, as if the election gave you some mandate to violate the Constitution and the laws passed by this Congress. It did not give you that mandate."

Info Pete Hegseth shared with wife, brother came from top general's secure messages Hegseth has denied the information he shared was classified, but it was given to him on a system for sensitive and classified information, sources told NBC News.

NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.

Wonder: what is the accouinting on these sponsorships? Where does the money actually go?

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.
