"Today the corporate kingdom finally comes to an end," he said at a bill signing ceremony in Lake Buena Vista. "There's a new sheriff in town, and accountability will be the order of the day."and marks a high-profile legislative victory for a governor whose leveraging of cultural and political divides has pushed him to the fore of national Republican politics.

f0kkin cl0wns. EVERY legacy article has the exact same headline. 'punishing' a trilllion dollar company, lmfao. dezantis works for the PEOPLE, dizney works for the trilllionaires w-ef, blakrok, r0thschilds, etc.

Ron DeSantis is an authoritarian white supremacist and a 'christian nationalist' (anti-women's reproductive rights, anti-gay rights, anti-trans rights). He is an ignorant, violent hater of Trans Kids, Women, Black People, Jewish People, Gay People, Immigrants.

Go woke go broke
