Last Call â A prime-time read of whatâs going down in Florida politics.
First Shot
Gov.
Ron DeSantis signed a sweeping elections bill into law Thursday at a closed-door event at the Hilton at Palm Beach International Airport.
The measure, which goes into effect immediately, mainly changes rules surrounding mail ballots. It limits when voters can slip their mail ballots into drop boxes to voting hours. It also requires election officials to guard or monitor drop boxes during the hours they are available to voters.
Additionally, the new law aims to curb so-called âballot harvestingâ by blocking anyone from dropping off ballots from more than two people who are not in their immediate family.

Aly is a vice president of Accounts with On3PR, while
Omar is deputy chief of staff to Speaker
Chris Sprowls.

@NickConfessore: The fact that this private corporate administrative decision is being covered as something akin to a Supreme Court ruling â rightly so, I think â is the best illustration I can imagine of the sheer power Facebook has achieved over the public square

@BostonJoan: Imagine spending millions to offload blame only to have it returned like a bill lost in the mail, which is now overdue.
Dialectic
Brainwashing is the most conservative form of information control because it uses force to change minds. Propaganda, as we have seen in my last article, can be used by both conservatives and liberals. Both forms of entertainment are really politically apathetic, as they try to distract and provide escape from political and economic realities. Rhetoric is the essence of liberal viewpoints dating all the way back to debate among the classical Greeks. Dialectic was also used among the Greeks. It was used for conservative purposes by Plato and later by Hegel while Marx used dialectic to understand capitalism along with human history.
