@GovRonDeSantis did wasn't a "stunt."It was kidnapping, and Human Trafficking.These are federal crimes. The sentence is five years – per victim.As a Cuban American, I find it especially repulsive to see so many in my community celebrating Desantis relocating immigrants, Venezuelans, out of state.
These are people fleeing the very same dangers that my family did and were welcomed with open arms. The hypocrisy is real.Governor Newsom has asked the DOJ to look into what kind of crime was committed, while a legal expert reported directly from Martha’s Vineyard.What @GovRonDeSantis and @GregAbbott_TX are doing isn’t clever, it’s cruel.I’m formally requesting the DOJ begin an immediate investigation into these inhumane efforts to use kids as political pawns.

The practice should be illegal.

Fox News contributor Ben Domenech slammed President Biden for his "unpresidential" Florida visit, after he tried pushing his green energy and was caught cursing in a hot mic moment while assessing damage from Hurricane Ian. Domenech joined "The Faulkner Focus" to discuss the president's visit following the Category 4 storm, arguing it appeared Biden felt "threatened" by Gov.
but to work with Biden, with Ana Navarro calling him DeSantis’ “daddy.”To kick off the Hot Topics discussion, moderator Whoopi Goldberg called up footage of statements from DeSantis and Biden this week, with the governor saying that he and his team “appreciate the team effort” from the White House, and that together, they are “cutting through the bureaucracy.” At that, Whoopi was thoroughly confused by the idea that a team-up between the two wouldn’t happen, even despite DeSantis’ past criticisms of the president.“I mean, what choice does he have?” Goldberg said. “He can’t stand there while [Biden] is standing there and say, ‘I hate what they did.
pic.twitter.com/Oo814Z8JY1Murphy, for his part, had remarked how thankful he was that Biden was visiting the region to survey the damage.There had been some discussion on social media about the manner in which the two, who could conceivably face each other in the 2024 presidential race, would greet one another. Although there was theorizing about a fist bump or simply a pleasant hello, they ended up firmly shaking hands as they set aside their differences to work toward a common goal.Biden did not refer to the hot mic moment in a later tweet in which he said, “We have one job: getting the people of Florida what they need as fast as we can.” Jill and I joined Governor DeSantis, Senator Rubio, and Senator Scott today to survey the path of Hurricane Ian in Florida.We have one job: getting the people of Florida what they need as fast as we can.
President Biden met with Gov. Ron DeSantis Wednesday in Florida as the political rivals came together to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Ian. Biden, with first lady Jill Biden, is visiting hard-hit Fort Myers to "reaffirm his commitment to supporting the people of Florida as they recover and rebuild from the devastating storm," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Tuesday.
Every time we hear anything new about Ron DeSantis we’re reminded of the alternate universe that should have been, where his name was a footnote in political comedy history. But instead of being known only for that horribly embarrassing campaign ad where he just kept worshipping Donald Trump, the man actually got elected governor of Florida. Sigh… We live in the worst timeline…
Jason Bateman has revealed that he nearly ran over Michael Jackson while working on a show in the ’80s.The Ozark star appeared in TV show Silver Spoons in the early part of the decade, and explained in a new interview that he and co-star Rick Schroder almost hit Jackson with their bikes while the singer was visiting the set.“This is while we were doing Silver Spoons at Universal and we’d need to have our bikes because kids gotta play. Michael was there to see [Schroder],” he revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live.Bateman then gave an uneasy look to the audience, who responded awkwardly, seemingly in reference to child sexual abuse allegations against Jackson.“I don’t — listen, hey! He was a fan of the show and a fan of the Ricker!” Bateman then said, before adding to his story: “[Jackson] was coming onto the stage while we were zooming off and almost took him down.”It comes after Bateman spoke earlier this year about his “lost decade” in the ’90s where he spent a lot of time partying.“It was a combination,” he explained to The Guardian about why he decided to trade acting for hedonism.
Asked today if he was serious recently when he challenged Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to a debate on CNN, California Governor Gavin Newsom replied to a group of reporters, “Of course I am, but it’s tough time to bring that up.”

Meghan Trainor has recalled how nurses implied that her decision to take antidepressants while pregnant contributed to her son's stay in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The All About That Bass singer and her husband, actor Daryl Sabara, welcomed a little boy named Riley in February 2021. However, Riley had "breathing issues" immediately after he was delivered via Caesarean section, and in a recent interview for Romper, Meghan recounted how nurses at the hospital insinuated that she was somehow to blame.
On Thursday’s “The Tonight Show,” host Jimmy Fallon had a string of jokes that showed just how baffling a claim it is that Donald Trump could declassify documents just by thinking about it, as the former president told Sean Hannity in a now-viral interview Wednesday. Fallon also joked that such a gaff will only help Florida governor Ron DeSantis’ presidential prospects for 2024.

“The View” on Wednesday dove into the ongoing debate over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ stunt in which he flew two planeloads of Venezuelan migrants from his state to Martha’s Vineyard as a ploy to draw attention to the ongoing immigrant crisis on the southern border. While it’s been a hot-button issue this week with voices on both sides denouncing the action as questionable or even illegal – a Texas sheriff has opened a case against DeSantis to determine if he misled the migrants into boarding the planes and therefore broke the law – but conservative co-host of “The View” Alyssa Farah Griffin indicated that she thinks it’s time to move on and focus on a solution.

stole his racist publicity stunt in which asylum seekers from South America were told lies and then shipped to Massachusetts, as part of a failed attempt to expose some kind of nonexistent hypocrisy over immigration by liberals. And while talking about it, Kimmel essentially tried to low key escalate the drama.“Today, by the way, I hope you know, is ‘National Voter Registration Day.’ Voting, as you know, is one of the few rights the Supreme Court hasn’t taken away from women yet. And it’s fun.
EXCLUSIVE: Jen Rudin has joined APA where she will launch and head up the agency’s Animation and Voice Over department. Rudin is the 12th former ICM agent/executive brought in by APA over the past year — more than all other agencies combined — as the agency has been aggressively pursing ICM staffers made available by the CAA acquisition. Most of the hires have been at a senior level, including several department heads. Backed by a major investment from Ron Burkle’s Yucaipa Companies two years ago, APA has been in an expansion mode, going on a hiring spree as it is looking to bulk up and move up the agency pecking order, which was disturbed by the CAA-ICM merger.
