They literally stole taxpayer money and put into their personal empire. These two are such crooks.
THIS IS WILD‼️
Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Republicans just blocked my resolution to reaffirm the 22nd and 12th Amendments and make clear that Donald Trump is not eligible for a third term.

"Money is not necessarily 'property' for constitutional purposes," the Department of Justice argues.
The government says money isn't property—so it can take yours
