*Kudos* to Florida's "governor" and "surgeon general" for taking a definitive step to address "overcrowded" school classrooms by "suggesting" that the state get rid of vaccine mandates. Bring on measles and other communicable diseases.

Welp...this should be "interesting." Watching @fox13tampabay.bsky.social ...bunch of #Tampa-area nonprofits will see badly-needed funding cut significantly. Yet another sign of the unfathomable damage that a certain pouffy-pompadoured punk up in D.C. is hellbent on inflicting on Americans.
