"It's both," says @PeterSchorschFL on whether DeSantis is overreaching or enforcing rule of law. "It reminds me of Minority Report: he's taken @AndrewWarrenFL out not for things he has done, but things he said he would do. Technically, he's following existing [abortion] law."
"There was a lot of mumbo jumbo about how [Tampa] is like Portland. Tampa is far removed from Portland or Seattle or SF ... You have a police chief running Tampa. If there's been any complaint about Tampa, it's that it's been OVERpoliced...including by the federal government."

"The sheriff told me the persons who were dressed in these security uniforms had indicated to sheriff's deputies that they belonged to a licensed security company and they indicated, and this has not been confirmed yet, that they were hired by the Trump campaign," Marcus said.
Marcus, a Republican, is running to keep her seat after being appointed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in May when longtime supervisor Deborah Clarke retired.
Pinellas Co. Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, also a Republican, is running for re-election as well.
