Hannity explained that the debate was supposed to run from 9 to 10:30 PM, but it went past that time, leading to Newsom's team pulling him out. DeSantis noted, 'I was just kind of sitting there. I didn't know what to do.'
You cannot change the terms of the work requirement. It's a pretty easy no. Federal law holds that non-expansion states cannot adopt work requirements under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

It will hurt a lot of trans people in the state.

House rep Neal Dunn will reportedly resign before his term is up on January 3, 2027, despite Mike Johnson begging him stick it out. Why is Johnson worried? Because if Dunn leaves early, the tiny majority hold Republicans have over the House would be severely threatened.

All Florida public universities would be banned from hiring foreign workers on H-1B visas under a policy change that the Florida Board of Governors will consider next week. Next Thursday, the board's Nomination and Governance Committee will consider adding to a policy a line saying the universities can't "utilize the H-1B program in its personnel program to hire any new employees through January 5, 2027." If the committee and full Board of Governors approve the addition, there will be a 14-day public comment period.
