Ron DeSantis must turn over records in connection with migrant flights his administration chartered from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, a Florida judge ruled Tuesday, saying it failed to comply with the state’s public records law after an open government group sued for the information. Circuit Judge J. Lee Marsh ordered the administration to provide the records sought by the group, the Florida Center for Government Accountability, within the next 20 days, said Michael Barfield, the organization's director of public access. DeSantis’ office did not return NBC News's request for comment on the judge's ruling, which was reported by the Miami Herald. The Florida Center for Government Accountability filed its lawsuit earlier this month, alleging the delay by the governor’s office to turn over records is unjustified. Last month, DeSantis chartered planes carrying about 50 migrants from San Antonio to Marta’s Vineyard, escalating a tactic first used by Texas Gov.

The apparel company's decision to end its partnership with designer Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, shows the perils companies can face when they hand over the keys to impossible-to-control celebs. In some cases — such as in Ye's partnership with Adidas — the payoff of a relationship might not exceed the eventual cost. "A brand can spend hundreds of millions of marketing dollars building its brand and then see it all undone with a bad celebrity partnership." "The world was treating Ye a lot differently when the Yeezy deal was signed," said Monson. But he brought some of the allure and some of the danger with him that he infused into the Yeezy brand."

Time and again Monday night, Crist returned to the issue of DeSantis’ looming decision about whether he would run for president in 2024. It wasn’t the only question DeSantis wouldn’t answer.

Florida’s Hispanic voters back Gov. “There are lots of Hispanic voters in this state who really like the governor’s style, this strongman who won’t back down. And Crist has no mojo,” said Coker, who conducted the bilingual survey of 625 likely Hispanic voters from Oct. 17-22. And other Hispanic voters from throughout Latin America also side with Crist over DeSantis by a narrower percentage, 53% to 43%. Both DeSantis and Crist receive strong support from voters registered with their respective parties, but DeSantis has slightly more intense intraparty support than Crist, and the governor is leading among independent Hispanic voters by a 22-point margin.

☆ Work flexibility, stimulus helped fuel pandemic 'baby bump,' study shows
  + stars: | 2022-10-19 | by ( Alicia Wallace | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
Economists from UCLA, Northwestern and Princeton universities found that pandemic trends, such as increased work flexibility, helped push up US birth rates last year to 6.2% from pre-pandemic levels, marking the first major reversal in declining fertility rates since 2007 and counteracting a longstanding economic certainty: Birth rates don’t increase during economic downturns. The baby bump was also pronounced among women aged 30 to 34 and those between the ages of 25 and 44 with a college degree. The latter group was more likely to retain their job during the pandemic and work from home. The pandemic helped to expose the critical role the child care industry serves in bolstering labor market participation. “The US has experienced declining fertility rates now for over a decade, and this has been a concern to many policymakers,” he said.

"Ron's strength as a politician is that he doesn't give a fuck," the New Yorker article said. "Republican voters love him because he says what he's going to do and he goes and does it," Cox said.

In late summer, an NPR/Ipsos poll asked if there was an “invasion” at the southern U.S. border. A majority of respondents said yes, it’s an invasion. If it isn’t, “invasion” has no meaning.
