Florida sued over attempts to shut down TV ad in favor of abortion rights

State sending cease-and-desists to news stations was ‘unconstitutional government interference’, coalition says

The coalition behind a Florida ballot measure to enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution sued the state’s health department on Wednesday over its attempts to shut down an television advertisement supporting the measure.

The lawsuit is the latest volley in an escalating war between the coalition, Floridians Protecting Freedom, and Florida’s rightwing government, which has alarmed civil rights groups, fair elections organizations and even the Federal Communications Commission over its tactics to undermine the ballot initiative, which will appear before voters in November.


Earlier this month, the Florida health department sent cease-and-desist letters to local news stations over an ad featuring a woman, identified as Caroline from Tampa, Florida, who speaks about being diagnosed with brain cancer while pregnant.

Elon says

Matt Gaetz has 3 critical assets that are needed for the AG role: a big brain, a spine of steel and an axe to grind.

He is the Judge Dredd America needs to clean up a corrupt system and put powerful bad actors in prison.

Gaetz will be our Hammer of Justice.

So not the courts or due process?

He goes on to say

As for these accusations against him, I consider them worth less than nothing. Under our laws, a man is considered innocent until proven guilty.

If AG Garland (an unprincipled douchebag) could have secured a conviction against Gaetz, he would have, but he knew he could not.

Case closed.

He doesn't even see the irony in this.

Gaetz is going to judge you all

It's going to be worse than you all think.

Thank you for supporting your assertion with evidence.

 

[ponderingturtle]

You really want fun, wait until the protest begin.

Another thing the military will be used for, Trump was always a fan of Tiananmen square after all.

 

[The Don]

Thank you for supporting your assertion with evidence.

So will you now address the argument?

 

[Mike!]

Mikel hopes that Biden can do Trump one better: "I keep hoping Joe's got one more trick up his sleeve still, but I really think we're stuck with Trump taking office ..."

Hope, son. Hope. Note I also say I think we're stuck with Trump. Tell me, do you think Trump had any legitimate reasons for sending a mob to attack the Capital on 1-6-2021? If so, were you hoping, HOPING, they'd be successful?

I just had a very, very hard conversation with a local friend/ customer. ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ brutal talk. What will come of our friends in the states and of my status here in Guate, We are both terrified. I dunno......

Sympathy to you and your friends. What puts you at risk in Guatemala?

I'm a resident here. If the US ◊◊◊◊◊ with enough Guatemalan immigrants I wouldn't blame Guate for a little reciprocity, as I live here at the will of the Gov't.

Trump pick Dr. Oz as head of Medicare and Medicaid.

Good grief, someone is seriously ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ around with The Matrix.

Ehh. To put it nicely, in his first term, Trump selected a bunch of people who were explicitly set on destroying the agencies that they were assigned to head. That Trump would do so again is to be expected, not to be surprised about. Outrage, of course, is entirely reasonable. Both at him for his murderous and traitorous ways and at all those who put and kept him in power despite being well aware of his past sabotage of the US.

Linda McMahon Education Sec. The hits just keep on coming. Bizarro world.

 

[dudalb]

Actual ability means nothing, only loyalty to Trump matters.
This is going to end well.
Biggest case of voter regret in history on it's way.

Linda McMahon -- married to Vince McMahon of World Wrestling Entertainment fame (Linda was CEO of WWE for a time) -- is set to be possibly the last Education Secretary, trump having promised he'll abolish the agency.

Trump had vowed to "move education back to the states" during his campaign and doubled down on those comments since winning the presidency, saying the department's closure would come "very early" in his second administration. Newsweek article link

Someone from the professional wrestling world named Education Secretary? This nightmare never ends. It just keeps getting worse.

 

[Trebuchet]

Moving education back to the states, of course, doesn't apply to states that want it to include woke crap like history, civics, and of course, science.

 

[Orphia Nay]

What the hell does Trump have against education? "I'm stupid so you have to be too"?

If Trump can't have a fraud "university", then no-one can!

 

[KDLarsen]

What the hell does Trump have against education? "I'm stupid so you have to be too"?

Like most of his opinions, he's basically copying what the base wants to hear. The DoE has been a gqp bugbear for years, they'd much rather get it out to the states where it's much easier for them to control what is taught, even during Democratic administrations.

Stupid people are easier to influence.

They're gonna gut it anyway.

I predict the cabinnet turnover ti going to be constant. You know the people Trump is putting in are incompetnet and will mess things up and make Trump look bad, and that is the unforgivale sin.
