DeSantis explained that the very nature of unemployment benefits is designed to provide “temporary” aid to those in need; the Florida governor then made a point of noting that folks on unemployment should be actively seeking work so they no longer require government assistance.
In keeping with the original principle of unemployment benefits, DeSantis announced his decision to bring back the requirements for individuals on assistance to show proof of employment searches. The Florida governor then made clear that with the positive direction of the state’s economy, getting Floridians back to work is doable and necessary.

Earlier today, Governor DeSantis signed Senate Bill 90 into effect. This piece of legislation focuses on election integrity; key parts of the law involve the enforcement of photo ID requirements, bans against ballot harvesting, no mass mailouts of ballots, etc.
Leftist special interest groups wasted no time in filing lawsuits against Senate Bill 90; Democrats claim, without evidence, that Florida’s election integrity laws will impede Floridians of color from voting.
