Florida New Dems

The New Democrat Coalition: A group of 68 centrist, pro-business House Democrats. The group was founded in 1997 as an affiliate of the Democratic Leadership Council, a now-defunct nonprofit that worked to shift the Democratic party away from populist, left-wing policies and towards a more business-friendly, Clintonian agenda.

Florida Amendment 4 Pause

Florida GOP might not be ready to put Amendment 4 — a measure approved by 64.5% of Florida voters that would give voting rights back to most felons who have completed their sentences — into action.
---
 According to WFTV 9,  the state has put enforcement of the amendment on pause until the new governor, Republican Ron DeSantis, is sworn in. WFTV reported that lawmakers are waiting to see if the Florida Legislature might need to weigh in on the measure. The amendment, which would restore voting rights to more than 1.5 million felons, does not call for any involvement of this kind. HERE

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib pulling back the curtain

Welcome to DC
Orientation for newly elected members of Congress

They informed the public through live social media updates that contrary to the ideologically neutral advertising—the private conference featured a heavy dose of speeches by corporate CEOs and completely shut out organized labor and members of the progressive community.
---
Ocasio-Cortez Tweeted: Right now Freshman members of Congress are at a “Bipartisan” orientation w/ briefings on issues.
---
Tlaib said: Gary Cohen, former CEO Goldman Sachs addressing new members of Congress today: "You guys are way over your head, you don't know how the game is played."
No Gary, YOU don't know what's coming - a revolutionary Congress that puts people
over profits.
