DeSantis is accelerating his clamp down against undocumented immigrants in Florida. Ron DeSantis of Florida rolled out a series of proposals on Thursday that would impose major restrictions on career and educational opportunities for undocumented immigrants in the state. The governor wants state legislators to repeal a state law that allows children of undocumented immigrants to get in-state college tuition rates. Under the proposal, hospitals would be required to collect data on how much they spend providing healthcare to undocumented immigrants. These cities limit their cooperation with federal immigration authorities by refusing to report or hand over certain undocumented immigrants for deportation.

Banning vaccine and mask mandatesDeSantis wants the Florida legislature to permanently ban COVID vaccine and mask mandates. It's not clear how much of a difference a new, permanent Florida law would make. DeSantis will ask the Florida legislature to permanently lift the state's 6% sales tax on baby necessities including on cribs, strollers, clothing, shoes, wipes, and diapers. But some analysts, such as Howard Gleckman at the Tax Policy Center, have warned that tax breaks could actually worsen inflation because people will spend and consume more at a time when supplies are limited. Currently, state law requires a vote be unanimous.

By Martha C. WhiteThe Fed is set to send savings and CD rates higher yet again. On Wednesday, the Fed announced a quarter-percentage-point interest rate increase to its benchmark federal-funds rate, following its Jan. 31-Feb.1 meeting.

☆ Trump's return to social media could help him reach more people, but that could actually hurt him by highlighting his volatility — especially compared to a more composed Ron DeSantis

Trump will soon be allowed on all the major social media platforms he was previously banned from. It's still unclear if Trump will return to Facebook or Twitter, but his use of social media has always been polarizing, even among his own supporters. Unlike Trump, DeSantis is rarely, if ever, making headlines for something he wrote on Twitter. He's not unpredictable on social media and large swaths of his supporters are not calling for him to put down his phone. Essentially, DeSantis has tapped into the same exact grievances as Trump but does so through policies instead of constant tweeting.

A former Trump aide said Biden's team should be nervous because federal prosecutors are like "hunting dogs." In November, Biden's team found 10 classified documents at Penn Biden Center, a DC think tank, and submitted them to the National Archive. This came as Trump was also being investigated for mishandling classified documents and not turning them over to the National Archives. In December, Biden's team found more documents in the garage of his Delaware home. On January 14, The New York Times reported that another batch of documents was also found in Biden's home.

And no one in Hillsborough County was charged with violating that state law when Warren was the county prosecutor. Court testimony from DeSantis administration officials showed that the abortion letter was the major cause of Warren's suspension. Abortion was the only issue mentioned in the first draft of DeSantis' suspension order.

A spokesman for López Obrador did not respond to a request for comment.

The New York Times called her "arguably America's best-known television personality" but also observed that "what we remember most about a Barbara Walters interview is Barbara Walters." Walters' three marriages - to businessman Robert Katz, theatrical producer Lee Guber and television executive Merv Adelson - ended in divorce.
