On Monday morning, Popular Information broke the news that migrants from Venezuela were provided with false information to convince them to board flights chartered by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R). A brochure distributed to migrants says that they will be eligible for numerous benefits in Massachusetts, including "8 months cash assistance," "assistance with housing," "food," "clothing," "job placement," "registering children for school," and many other benefits.
Keep up the good work, Judd. I live on MV and am disgusted by this gross people trafficking 'stunt'... and the misinformation that has accompanied it is further disgusting. Such shameful actions--it seems that to be a republican these days is to be the bigger, meaner, crueler bully--which then increases the nasty in people to come out even stronger on steroids. It is destroying our country from within... I don't know if it can be stopped at this point, with all the bad information out there. Anyway, if anyone is interested... https://vineyardgazette.com/opinionhttps://vineyardgazette.com/news/2022/09/16/buses-roll-out-migrants-head-ferry-and-joint-base-cape-cod
Not sure how important this is but the tweets slamming you are just so...juvenile. To me, emblematic of the lack of rigorous thought about anything on the right. It is all a game.
Thank you for your work and proud to be a subscriber.
Another fraudulent set of claims made by right wing authoritarians. As Trump’s claims about classified docs are falling apart in public, let’s hope that InSantis’s claims meet the same end. But we also have to get to the root of the educational and social issues that let obvious lies be accepted as truth by so many.
I was appalled that none of the media present at Ms. Fenske's press conference seemed willing or able to call her out on her obvious lies, but I guess that I shouldn't be.
For republiCons, it’s always a “high probability” that a crime was committed! Time to treat these criminals like all other criminals. Lock them up until their court case comes up! Get them removed from office when the public is put at high risk! Taking two years to accomplish anything and allowing criminals to continue as usual, builds normalization for them & their nutty base.
I live in Florida and DeSantis has a habit of disappearing when the state has a problem. He’s very, very lazy and his assistants use a ruse of saying there are cupcakes to get him to go to meetings. He’s a horrible Governor and has zero talent to govern. He is hostile, power hungry and a bully. A mini Trump.
We don't even need to investigate this to know that DeSantis committed a crime here. What will happen to him? Nothing. Will he do something similar in the future if he's not removed? Absolutely. This will actually propel him to the Republican nomination for President. They love lying, cheating, scumbag candidates. DeSantis is perfect
Sounds like Ronnie got seriously triggered. Also, if the "DeSantis War Room" account is officially approved by him, it's one more piece of evidence that being a loyal member of the cult these days requires behaving like a small, spoiled child. It's like an entire political party has suddenly regressed to kindergarten.
UPDATE: DeSantis defends phony brochure; sheriff launches criminal investigation
Keep up the work Judd! Your voice is not only exposing the the antics from the far right but keeping them accountable as well!

So proud of your amazing work Judd. Thank you for your tenacity to hold a light into the dark crevices of evil, ugliness and corruption.

Spin Doctor says that there's a "high probability" that laws were broken... how does 100% sound?
Juddle Gum? They really have nothing, do they?
Bravo, Judd!
If more journalism was as well researched as Popular Information, our country could unite around truth.
What Ms. Fenske conveniently left out of
her press briefing is, there's a big difference between a Migrant seeking
"asylum" at our southern border and a
Refugee seeking "relocation" through the
United Nations. Two very different
divisions with the UNHC for refugees,, not being overseen by Border Patrol.

Lock him up.
So a County Sheriff has launched an investigation. Why hasn't the Justice Department?
The sheriff will be stomped into the ground by DeSantis. But I respect the David and Goliath part of it.
