Very proud to work on this federal legislation with @DNALabsInt and other coalition partners!
In: @RepTroyNehls introduces CODIS Access Modernization Act, “which would allow privately-owned & operated forensic evidence DNA testing laboratories to directly upload qualifying DNA profiles to the National DNA Index System, so long as they meet certain requirements.”

Luckily, nobody preps for a storm like @TimNungesser. Nobody.
And just like that, our power is out in Tallahassee. 🥶

My husband sent me this & at first I suggested he not open that particular Pandora’s box, but now I think I’ll start texting him like C3 fundraising mailers. ONLY YOU can pack the daycare bag! ACT NOW to preserve peace in the house…. You’ve been warned, @TimNungesser
Gonna start texting my wife like political emails… DEAR PATRIOT… Despite the best attempts my opponents I got the kids to school ON TIME! But I need you to CHIP IN for more SNACKS!

Many inaccuracies in this story. The house’s demolition permit was approved before the 2023 session- before this bill even COULD have passed. The legislation also specifically exempted single family homes. Find the actual language here: flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/20…

Win one for Democracy.
BREAKING: Supreme Court REJECTS the independent state legislature theory in a 6-3 decision, turning away the legal theory that could have stripped state courts of their ability to review election decisions. Much more from me and @joshgerstein soon politico.com/news/2023/06/27…

Here’s a reminder from your friendly neighborhood campaign finance attorney to Always Ask For The W9. (Also, C4’s are a great tool for advocacy! But if you’re being asked to make political contributions to something other than a 527 entity, maybe ask why?)
Count II of the George Santos indictment alleges that he directed someone to fraudulently raise money for a (c)(4) entity to make independent expenditures for his campaign—which he then used for personal expenses. YIKE… justice.gov/d9/2023-05/santo…

If the call that I'm on right now with my "specialty" pharmacy is indicative of how these calls usually go, I'm not surprised that so many people favor PBM reform. Insurance approved drug 12 days ago. Pharmacy finally gets updated prescription 9 days ago... #FlaPol

First, they came for new college. But I was no vegan and I majored in business, so I did not speak out. Then they came for FSU, but I was not an alumni and their football team beat mine, so I did not speak out. Then they came for UF. But there was no one left to speak for me.

Juvenile Life Without Parole reform was the first issue I worked on as a lobbyist.@jobip was one of my mentors during those first session. So proud of you, my friend.
Thanks to bipartisan support, a stalwart leader in @DonHarmonIL, and the hard work of some of the most wonderful of Miller’s children (IYKYK), we’ve effectively eliminated JLWOP in Illinois.

If True: God said, “I need someone badass enough to steal military equipment from the invaders.” So god made a Ukrainian farmer.
#BREAKING Meanwhile fighting in most major cities right now, a tractor driver steals Russian military equipment in Ukraine. Things are so unorganized on the Russian side. #Ukraine #UkraineWar #UkraineInvasion #UkraineUnderAttack
