Fellow Floridians about to lose power, a tip from a lineman: When your power comes back on, turn on your porch light. It helps them see that your power has been restored without having to stop & check every single meter. A little time saved goes a long way. The more you know…

For the third year in a row, DeSantis lets millions of kids go hungry to own the libs. Instead of standing up for Florida’s families, DeSantis refused to participate in a federal program to feed our kids. One out of five Florida children are hungry.
