At Capital Tiger Bay, Pizzo urges Democrats to focus on vital issues, takes aim at GOP infighting and calls out political gamesmanship in Tallahassee.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is urging Republican leaders around Florida to pressure lawmakers into supporting a Special Session on immigration. He also emailed party members with a similar call to action.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is calling for a special legislative session on a variety of issues, but GOP leaders are calling it "premature."

Nikki Fried, the chairperson of the Florida Democratic Party, criticized DeSantis' call for a special session as a publicity stunt. “For what seems like the thousandth time, he’s doing everything he can to remain relevant, instead of taking steps to make life more affordable for the people of Florida,” Fried said in a statement.

A political standoff is brewing in Tallahassee as Gov. Ron DeSantis calls lawmakers back for a special session Monday to fast-track his immigration crackdown.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis warned state lawmakers not to defy him on illegal immigration, saying it would be politically "hazardous" to close a special session without progress.

Resisting a special session regarding immigration reform, DeSantis said, would “be very, very hazardous politically, I think, for these members to do.”
