“Rick Scott exercised some small amount of power in his final days as governor which can only be viewed as a slight to Governor-elect DeSantis.” –Matt Dixon

“Minutes after being sworn in, Ron DeSantis signed a random executive order to advance his bold vision for a brighter future.” –Helen Aguirre Ferré

“Ron DeSantis signing a random executive order minutes after being sworn in proves his administration is a failure.” –Florida Democratic Party

*All real emails are highlighted in bright yellow so that even junior members of the DeSantis Administration pretending to do important work in the bowels of the capitol building can tell the difference between truth and satire while they are surfing the internet on their government computers.
