Ronald Dion DeSantis (/dəˈsæntɪs/ or /diːsæntɪs/;[3] born September 14, 1978) is an American politician serving as the 46th governor of Florida since 2019. A member of the Republican Party, DeSantis represented Florida's 6th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2013 to 2018.
Born in Jacksonville, DeSantis spent most of his childhood in Dunedin, Florida. He graduated from Yale University and Harvard Law School. DeSantis joined the United States Navy in 2004 and was promoted to lieutenant before serving as a legal advisor to SEAL Team One. He was stationed at Joint Task Force Guantanamo in 2006, and was deployed to Iraq in 2007. When he returned to the U.S. about eight months later, the U.S. Department of Justice appointed DeSantis to serve as a Special Assistant U.S. attorney at the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Middle District of Florida, a position he held until his honorable discharge from active military duty in 2010.
Fallout from former President Donald Trump’s CNN town hall continued on Thursday, with some Republicans taking issue with Trump’s comments on Ukraine.
During the event, Trump declined to say whether he would like to see Russia or Ukraine win the war, and he refused to say Russian President Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. That drew criticism from some Senate Republicans, NBC News’ Liz Brown-Kaiser, Garrett Haake and Dareh Gregorian report.
An unlikely mix of lawmakers spanning MAGA Republicans and democratic socialists is joining forces in hopes of finally keeping fellow members of Congress from being able to trade stocks.
The team includes two Republican representatives: Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, one of the House’s most bipartisan members, and Matt Gaetz of Florida, who is among its most far-right. They introduced the Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government Act on Tuesday along with two colleagues across the aisle: pro-business New Democrat centrist Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois and Democratic Socialists of America member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
In this week's episode of "The Week We Missed," Todd and Jer are back to discuss a topic that has been making headlines in recent years - the justice system and repeat offenders.

We will delve into some of the underlying factors that contribute to repeat offending, such as mental health issues, substance abuse, and socioeconomic conditions.
In addition, we will examine some of the potential solutions to reduce the number of repeat offenders, including alternative sentencing options, improved access to rehabilitation programs, and addressing systemic issues within the justice system itself.

On March 30, 2023, Donald Trump, the president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury for his alleged role in a scandal stemming from hush money payments made to the pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential election
China and Brazil have reached a deal to trade in their currencies, the AFP reported, citing the Brazilian government on Wednesday.
The deal will allow China and Brazil to carry out trade and financial transactions directly in the Chinese yuan or the Brazilian reais, instead of using the US dollar as an intermediary. "The expectation is that this will reduce costs... promote even greater bilateral trade and facilitate investment," the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) said in a statement.
In this episode of The Week We Missed, Todd and Jer discuss the tragic shooting at a Christian elementary school in Nashville, where a 28-year-old gunman killed six people. The incident has once again brought the issue of gun violence in America to the forefront.
In addition, the hosts also talk about the growing concerns over the popular social media app TikTok and its handling of users' data. The Biden administration is pressuring the Chinese company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, to sell the app over national security concerns, sparking worries among millions of users.

This week, we're discussing a story that has stumped investigators on both sides of the Atlantic for months. According to new intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials, a pro-Ukrainian group may have been responsible for the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last year. The attack, which links Russia to Western Europe, has been a major mystery in Russia's year-old war in Ukraine.
While there is no evidence that President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine or his top lieutenants were involved, Ukraine and its allies have been seen as having the most logical potential motive to attack the pipelines. This is because they have opposed the project for years, calling it a national security threat.
However, Ukrainian government and military intelligence officials deny any involvement and claim to have no knowledge of who carried out the attack. So, who are the perpetrators, and who directed or paid for the operation?

we discuss the existence of spy balloons that have been floating over the United States for years. Despite the balloons being widely known, no action was taken by previous administrations, including Trump and Obama. The balloons were not directly over the states, but rather close by, about 10 miles off. It was mentioned to Trump by Obama, but nothing was done. It's not a reason to criticize President Biden for not taking action as it makes sense not to shoot a balloon above potentially populated areas.
At the VIP Barbershop less than a mile away from where Tyre Nichols was attacked by five Memphis Police officers, PJ, the shop's owner, described the moment he realised that Mr Nichols was from his community.
He recognised him as the quiet young man who would skate through his shop's parking lot.
"He would ride his skateboard with headphones on, just coasting and minding his business," he said. "He never bothered anyone."
As PJ spoke about Mr Nichols, 29, his violent death and the video of his beating that's soon to be released, the barbershop's lunchtime crowd nodded in agreement.
From November 2022 to January 2023, about twenty classified government documents were discovered by President Joe Biden's attorneys in his former office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C. and in his personal residence in Wilmington, Delaware, dating to his vice presidency in the Obama administration

The FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA, the International Federation of Association Football), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War. The reigning champions are France, who won their second title at the 2018 tournament in Russia
Sunday marked the return of Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving following his suspension from the Nets organization after he promoted a controversial film that has been heavily criticized as being antisemitic.
The star point guard had 14 points in a Nets victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, but it seems like his performance was overshadowed by a viral demonstration outside of the Nets stadium prior to the game.
A group of supporters showed up at Barclays Center before the game. According to Nets reporter Kristian Winfield, the group appeared to be Black Hebrew Israelites who were signing outside the stadium prior to the game

Certain corners of the internet and media would have us believe that famous people are being cancelled on a daily basis. That the relentless march towards “woke” has left so many well-known people shunned that the whole celebrity ecosystem is in danger of collapsing.
This is not true. As Irish comedian and talk show host Graham Norton so succinctly pointed out at the recent Cheltenham Literature Festival: “You read a lot of articles in papers by people complaining about ‘cancel culture'. You think, in what world are you cancelled? I’m reading your name in a newspaper, or you’re doing an interview about how terrible it is to be cancelled.”
Cancellation has proven to be largely a myth, a buzzword, which, as with garnering likes and online support when hashtagged in social media soundbites, is rarely reflected in real life.
Some of this explains why, despite years of making damaging, abusive and threatening public statements and false allegations, Kanye West manages to shake off the fallout of his actions as though he is coated in Teflon.
Over the past few weeks, West, who now goes by the name Ye, has posted anti-Semitic messages on social media; accused his estranged mother-in-law Kris Jenner of having an affair with Canadian rapper Drake; worn a White Lives Matter T-shirt at his Paris Fashion Week show; sat down for an interview with Fox News’s right-wing host Tucker Carlson that later made headlines thanks to outtakes of West floating a series of conspiracy theories; and said George Floyd, whose death at the hands of police officers in May 2020 galvanised the Black Lives Matter movement, actually "died from fentanyl”.

An Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft has indicated that Ian's maximum winds have increased to nearly 85 mph, according to a special update from the National Hurricane Center.
The storm is centered about 185 miles south of Charleston, South Carolina, and is moving north-northeast at 10 mph, the hurricane center said late Thursday.
A hurricane warning has been issued from the Savannah River at the Georgia-South Carolina border to Cape Fear, North Carolina
President Joe Biden has declared the pandemic over in the US, even as the number of Americans who have died from Covid continues to rise.
"We're still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over," said Mr Biden in a television interview.
Statistics show that over 400 Americans on average are dying from the virus each day.
The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said last week that the end of the pandemic was "in sight".
In an interview with CBS programme 60 Minutes aired on Sunday, Mr Biden said the situation was rapidly improving, even though a lot of work was being done to control the virus.
The interview - aired over the weekend - was partly filmed on the floor of the Detroit Auto Show, where the president gestured towards the crowds.
"If you notice, no-one's wearing masks," he said. "Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape... I think it's changing."
But administration officials told US media on Monday that the comments did not signal a change in policy and there were no plans to lift the ongoing Covid-19 public health emergency.
In August, US officials extended the public health emergency, which has been in place since January 2020, through to 13 October.
To date, more than one million Americans have died with Covid.

It is a big advantage for Joe Biden that no one takes him seriously. He spent Labor Day continuing to express animosity toward “MAGA Republicans,” and one’s instinct is to write this off as Joe rousing his party’s base for the midterm elections. It’s much more than that. This isn’t just Joe or a blowhard Senate majority leader’s pro forma raking of the other side. No matter how feckless one thinks the occupant of the White House is, an American head of state has extraordinary powers to intimidate, investigate and, if desired, prosecute. The power of this office is incomparable. It is a mistake not to take Mr. Biden’s MAGA speeches seriously, no matter how intemperate

Bobb, confirming an account that she first recounted to The Washington Post, told NBC News that lawyers for Trump were talking to Justice Department officials this spring about the records being stored at Mar-a-Lago.
At one meeting, she said, Trump’s lawyers searched through between two and three dozen boxes in a storage area and gave Justice Department officials “a few pages” that could meet the definition of being a presidential record.
Bobb told NBC News that at one meeting on June 3, she and another Trump lawyer were talking with a senior Justice Department official at Mar-a-Lago when Trump stopped by briefly to say hello.
At that meeting, a source close to Trump told NBC New, Trump personally showed the Justice Department official the room where the materials were.
Bobb said Trump officials added a lock on a storage unit after Justice officials said they did not believe it was secure. That lock was broken during the FBI search on Monday, she told NBC.
Trump’s spokesman Taylor Budowich in a new statement issued Tuesday, blasted the FBI search.
“Monday’s brazen raid was not just unprecedented, it was completely unnecessary,” Budowich said. “President Trump and his representatives have gone to painstaking lengths in communicating and cooperating with the appropriate agencies — something that is routine for all similar instances.”

The Secret Service confirmed Monday that it is aware of reports that the contents of Hunter Biden’s iCloud account were hacked over the weekend, exposing alleged texts, pictures, and videos of the president’s son doing drugs and engaging in other salacious and likely illegal activities.
4chan users claimed they hacked Biden’s phone late Saturday night, posting pictures to the website’s main political forum, according to the Washington Examiner. Many of the posts were taken down by the website.
The Secret Service said they are “aware” of the “social media posts and claims” about Biden, but are not in position to “make public comments on potential investigative actions,” in a statement to National Review.
One video purports to show Biden measuring the amount of crack he had while in conversation with a prostitute.
Another alleged video shows Biden going down a water slide naked, and texts allegedly revealed show Biden claiming that President Joe Biden was in possession of five guns in 2019, despite campaigning on gun control.
Many of the files posted by 4chan were already found on Biden’s abandoned laptop via an iPhone XS backup, according to the Washington Examiner.
Former Secret Service agent and cyber forensics expert Konstantinos “Gus” Dimitrelos previously told the outlet that the contents of the iPhone are authentic.
“Based on my analysis of the iPhone, I conclude the same results as my analysis of the MacBook Pro Laptop hard drive and iCloud synced data. The person who owns and operates this iPhone XS is Robert Hunter Biden,” Dimitrelos said, according to the outlet.
The abandoned laptop also previously revealed that the president knew about his son’s business dealing with China, despite repeatedly claiming that he has “never spoken” to him “about his overseas business dealings.”
Joe Biden left a voicemail on Hunter Biden’s phone after a New York Times released a story in 2018 about the first son’s business dealings with the Chinese oil giant China Energy Company Limited (CEFC), the Daily Mail first reported.
Abortion is the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus within a pregnancy. The embryo or fetus is found in the womb and a miscarriage occurs when it spontaneously leaves on its own. An abortion that occurs unintentionally is known as a miscarriage and can happen naturally depending on the progression through pregnancy.
Women who seek to terminate their pregnancy can face many obstacles, including finding a facility that offers abortion services and raising money for the procedure.
More than 24 million women worldwide get an abortion every year. In the US, 1 in 3 women will have an abortion by age 45.

Stocks sank on Friday, ending what has been a miserable month for markets, especially for Big Tech.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost nearly 1,000 points, while the S&P 500 lost more than 3%, with both indexes posting hefty losses for April.
But it was a lot worse for the tech-heavy Nasdaq, which sank more than 4% on Friday and ended down more than 10% for April, its worst month since 2008.
The deep declines reflect a time of deep uncertainty at a moment when the economic landscape is changing rapidly.
Here are the top three things sinking Wall Street.
Big Tech is going from winner to loser
The pandemic was good for Big Tech earnings.
Buoyed by low interest rates and the sudden pivot to quarantines and remote work, companies from Netflix to Zoom had some banner months in terms of profits.
And what is good for Big Tech is generally good for markets given that information technology companies account for 28 percent of the S&P 500.
But things have changed — and swiftly.
The world is learning to live with COVID. Workers are returning to their offices. Demand for travel is booming. And restaurants are filling up again.

On May 24, 2022, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos fatally shot nineteen students and two teachers, and wounded seventeen others at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Earlier that day, Ramos had shot his grandmother in the face, severely wounding her. After firing shots outside the school for approximately five minutes,[5] he entered Robb Elementary School armed with an AR-15 style rifle and handgun through a propped open side entrance, left open by a teacher, without encountering armed resistance.[6][7] Ramos locked himself inside a classroom where all his victims were killed and remained there for about one hour before being killed by a United States Border Patrol tactical team.[8] It is the third-deadliest American school shooting, after the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, and the deadliest ever in the state of Texas

The abrupt closure of many offices and workplaces this past spring ushered in a new era of remote work for millions of employed Americans and may portend a significant shift in the way a large segment of the workforce operates in the future. Most workers who say their job responsibilities can mainly be done from home say that, before the pandemic, they rarely or never teleworked. Only one-in-five say they worked from home all or most of the time. Now, 71% of those workers are doing their job from home all or most of the time. And more than half say, given a choice, they would want to keep working from home even after the pandemic, according to a new Pew Research Center survey
While countries are at different points in their COVID-19 infection rates, worldwide there are currently more than 1.2 billion children in 186 countries affected by school closures due to the pandemic.

Human rights in mainland China are periodically reviewed by the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC),[1] on which the government of the People's Republic of China and various foreign governments and human rights organizations have often disagreed. PRC authorities, their supporters, and other proponents claim that existing policies and enforcement measures are sufficient to guard against human rights abuses. However other countries and their authorities (such as the United States Department of State, Global Affairs Canada, etc.), international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) including Human Rights in China and Amnesty International, and citizens, lawyers, and dissidents inside the country, state that the authorities in mainland China regularly sanction or organize such abuses.

What goes into a microdosing ritual? You’re probably thinking that there isn’t much. On the surface, you’re right. There aren’t any exotic plants required, nor strange rituals at the solstice. But before you get overconfident about doing this ritual, let me tell you something.

Alec Baldwin gun incident reflects concerning trends on movie sets: industry experts
Alec Baldwin had been practising a “cross-draw” weapons firing technique and was aiming at a camera when a prop gun went off, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, according to multiple witness statements.
Authorities in Sante Fe have released statements by Rust director Joel Souza and a cameraman which said the accidental shooting happened during a scene filmed inside a mock church.

WHAT IS AN NFT? WHAT DOES NFT STAND FOR?
Non-fungible token.
That doesn’t make it any clearer.
Right, sorry. “Non-fungible” more or less means that it’s unique and can’t be replaced with something else. For example, a bitcoin is fungible — trade one for another bitcoin, and you’ll have exactly the same thing. A one-of-a-kind trading card, however, is non-fungible. If you traded it for a different card, you’d have something completely different. You gave up a Squirtle, and got a 1909 T206 Honus Wagner, which StadiumTalk calls “the Mona Lisa of baseball cards.” (I’ll take their word for it.)
How do NFTs work?
At a very high level, most NFTs are part of the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is a cryptocurrency, like bitcoin or dogecoin, but its blockchain also supports these NFTs, which store extra information that makes them work differently from, say, an ETH coin. It is worth noting that other blockchains can implement their own versions of NFTs. (Some already have.)

Having entered the recent public and research zeitgeist, microdosing involves consuming sub-perceptual doses of psychedelic drugs, allegedly to enhance performance, creativity, and wellbeing. The results of research to date have been mixed. Whereas most studies have reported positive impacts of microdosing, some microdosers have also reported adverse effects. In addition, research to date has revealed inconsistent patterns of change in personality traits. This prospective study explored the relationship between microdosing, personality change, and emotional awareness.

A debt limit or debt ceiling is a legislative mechanism restricting the total amount that a country can borrow or how much debt it can be permitted to take on. Several countries have debt limitation restrictions.
President Joe Biden meets with business leaders about the "real world impact" of not raising the debt limit. The meeting is just a few hours before the Senate takes a vote on whether or not to raise the debt ceiling

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Sent a Message With Her First Met Gala Appearance
For her first appearance at the Met gala, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had to make a political statement. It was only right. And since she was at fashion’s glitziest night, surrounded by some of the most powerful and famous people in the world, what better medium to get her message out about taxing the rich than, well, to have it written in red on her dress? The Democratic socialist congresswoman wore a white gown by Brother Vellies, splashed with the political slogan across the back (the bottom curve of the C in “rich” nicely mirrored the tulle hem
A mounting crisis is unfolding at the U.S.-Mexico border where thousands of migrants, many from Haiti, have trekked across dozens of countries, facing blistering heat and other dangers to seek refuge in the United States.
But entering the land of the free has proved difficult after migrants waded across the border. They were met by Border Patrol agents and deportation efforts.
All eyes are on the small town of Del Rio, Texas, where at one point more than 14,000 migrants, the majority from Haiti, were sheltering under a bridge.
The core argument here is that NFTs are just another kind of collectible that lacks the physical component of a baseball card or a Picasso. This is pretty obvious, since many of the early NFTs were artworks like Beeple’s (an artist I quite like) and Grimes (I dug Art Angels). And sure, I can understand this, but even if we make the 1-1 connection between Art and NFT, there are still some pretty big holes in this argument that need to be patched

US and allied troops start their withdrawal from Afghanistan in July. The Afghan political transition will be complete, and it's time for US President Obama to think about his legacy. And if the eight years of the Bush Presidency proved anything, it's that there is no better way to leave a legacy than by withdrawing from a war.
Whether you want to admit it or not, the American involvement in Afghanistan is going badly. As Iraq showed, nothing can be concluded from a single skirmish – the famous routing of the Taliban by Gen. Rashid Dostum near Mazar-i-Sharif – but this doesn't look like a one-off. If there were ever a good reason for a US withdrawal from Afghanistan, now would be it.

We are showing that psychedelics can be used in a responsible, controlled manner -- to improve the quality of life of patients with terminal illness. We are opening up an entirely new field of medicine -- psychedelic therapy.
Taking a psychedelic substance goes beyond taking a drug. It can be a full-blown life altering experience. LSD and magic mushrooms have been safely used to enhance creativity and problem solving, or simply to assist in mental exploration, or to work through psychological blocks. Actually it is not so much the chemicals that affects us as our own ability to receive and process them.

Some people take caffeine for it, some protein, and some marijuana. As strange as it may sound, the latest trend among young professionals is to microdose on psychedelics like LSD or Psilocybin (also known as magic mushrooms). The proponents of these compounds believe they provide certain benefits.

No matter what kind of drink you have, coffee or tea is always a good way to start our day. Although it can be more than just starting it. Recent studies have shown that drinking coffee every day has positive effects on our brain, health, and our metabolism. Therefore the question is not whether or not we should drink coffee every day but how much caffeine affects us?
When we drink our first cup of coffee in the morning, we might feel extremely alert. We may even get jittery due to caffeine. But how much caffeine can affect us in these situations? How about when we drink 5-10 cups a day? Or can drinking a lot of caffeine hurt our systems? These are some common questions that people have.

They act more like children than rational people; they fail to see the world from a different perspective and ideologues of both parties are quick to try and discredit the other side.

The separation of church and state is a concept in which secular authorities control government, preventing it from becoming influenced by religious authorities. The phrase appears in “Jefferson’s Bible,” a book containing texts of sermons prepared by Thomas Jefferson for the use of the Presbyterian Church. In a July 2, 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist association, Jefferson outlined his view on how “building a wall of separation between church and State” could be accomplished.

As an entrepreneur and angel investor, I've seen many startups fail and some doing extremely well. The ones which succeeded either innovated on a broad concept or had a huge market opportunity (Uber), while the others who didn't had to hack growth and scale that did not work (Groupon) or did one of the following

Mushroom microdosing has been proven to enhance the creative process and is considered a mental superfood by many business leaders. More and more people are now utilizing microdosing in their everyday routine. But can this be legal? Should you get in trouble for doing it? Let’s find out!
In recent years, microdosing has become an increasingly popular alternative to traditional antidepressants. Many health experts believe that if the brain is flooded with very small amounts of natural substances it can result in mood elevation, and can even lead to a higher level of general functioning. Whether or not you choose to microdose is entirely up to you, but before you make this decision, it is important to understand the legality of microdosing mushrooms as this could have far reaching consequences if you are caught.

Negotiation is unavoidable in our life. As much as we need to talk about it, at the moment most of us avoid doing it. I also avoided it for a long time in the face of my desires to be nice to everybody, especially people who hold power over me. I wanted to make them like me; I didn't want them to lose their temper with me; and sometimes I didn't even know what I was going to ask for until right before I asked for it. Strangely enough, the more I avoided negotiation, the less successful I was at getting what I wanted.

But the homeless are equally vulnerable and continuously overlooked.

Therapy is a wonderful method of dealing with personal issues. It can provide you with the tools and knowledge to deal with life's challenges in a healthy and beneficial way. It really doesn't matter if you feel like you need extreme mental treatment or just someone to talk to about whatever troubles you, there are plenty of options out there for you,
If you find yourself wanting to work on a challenge that requires you to deal with it right away, generally there’s not enough time for your brain to convince you that waiting is better. Or it might be that you blank out at the thought of dealing with this thing right now. Under those conditions, trying out different kinds of “therapy” can help you move forward toward a place where you can deal with this challenge head-on and have a better, more lasting response than avoidance or denial ever could provide.

Microdosing is one of the most intriguing new trends in the home remedies industry. Microdosing involves taking small doses of certain substances like psychedelics, smart drugs, and other legal drugs in order to produce a heightened state of consciousness and physical benefits.
Microdosing is the newest trend in psychedelics, and it’s one that has taken the internet by storm. It’s a way to experiment with mind-altering substances ― without altering your state of consciousness or having a psychedelic experience. A microdose is defined as 10-20% of the normal dose required for that substance, providing a vastly different effect than if you were simply dosed higher.

Just kidding! But to be fair, we should probably post this as "Why Democrats Suck". The real problem, of course, is that the Democrats suck and the Republicans suck. It's really a toss-up. People are people, and politicians are all sociopathic. The only difference is that sociopaths usually aren't in politics, or if they are in politics they aren't sociopaths yet (which I actually have to say is probably even scarier).

When does the government have a role in our daily lives? There is a difference between the role of government and “the government”. People generally understand (or at least claim to) that the function of government, at its most basic level, is to protect it’s citizens from foreign invaders (or our own internal ones), and ensure basic protections for all members of society. However, there are those who insist that “government intervention” is at the root of many of the problems in our society today.
