NEWS: Once off-limits, vulnerable children are becoming a cog in Trump's deportation efforts. In Florida, federal agents recently went to the offices of a state-funded children’s shelter, trying to find the undocumented parents. miamiherald.com/news/politics-… w/ @MarbinMiller @syraob

DeSantis' hand-picked Surgeon General has a $337,000-a-year contract with the University of Florida as part of his state's post. Years into the job, his colleagues still aren't sure what he does to earn a darly at university. Some say not much. miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
