Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's plan to end in-state tuition for undocumented students has sparked fierce opposition from lawmakers, students, and advocates alike.

Many fear tuition costs could quadruple, jeopardizing higher education for thousands. Even Republican supporters of the original waiver have recently reversed course.

Meanwhile, infighting rages as DeSantis deems the legislature's Trump Act insufficient. He threatens vetoes and targets dissenting Republicans, triggering further internal conflict.

Activists and advocacy groups see an opening to rally public opinion. With Florida's political power struggle ongoing, undocumented students' futures remain precarious.

The even dumber and less likeable version of Trump trying to do a Trump and failing.

Jeez. How punchable can one be? 16 years living and teaching in that pit of S. Florida (N. Miami & Opa Locka). I just cannot imagine dealing with the stupidity there ever again. I won’t even drive into that state without much medication. I loved teaching my little Title I kids. Where I was I’m sure that the parents were undocumented. We just wanted to teach. I’m just so disgusted and happy to be retired. Sit back and watch it burn, I guess.
