Hello and welcome to Monday.
The daily rundown Between Saturday and Sunday, the number of Florida coronavirus cases increased by 3,699 (nearly 0.2 percent), to 1,976,808; active hospitalizations went down by 176 (nearly 5.8 percent), to 2,868; deaths rose by 30, to 32,255; 4,204,186 Floridians have had at least one dose of a vaccine.
Bumpy New Florida Democratic Party chair Manny Diaz is running into some turbulence.
Into the mire The state executive committee spent up to two hours on Saturday debating how and whether to wade into a growing controversy over the Biden administration’s decision to reopen a migrant detention center in Homestead that had been used to house children. This is the same center that came under withering criticism by Democrats when the Trump administration was using it. Kamala Harris, who was as presidential candidate at the time, was among those who went to the center to lash out at Trump immigration policies.
The Democratic National Committee on Monday unveiled billboards in Miami and Tampa to highlight the Biden administration s $1.9 trillion stimulus plan s benefits and remind voters that Florida s two U.S. senators, Republicans Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, opposed the measure.
“Voters in Tampa won’t be able to miss this message: help is here, and it’s because of President Biden, not Senators Rubio or Scott who opposed this bill and the relief it provides Floridians,” said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison in a statement.
The effort is part of a broad effort by the White House and Democrats to build more support for the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan President Biden signed into law last week. Biden on Tuesday will kick off a nationwide campaign with a stop in Pennsylvania.

Rep. Linda Chaney (R-St. Petersburg) is sponsoring a proposal that would require written parental consent for students to participate in sex ed classes.
Florida parents can opt their students out of sex education. Now, students would need their parents consent to receive sex education under a bill moving forward in the legislature. The measure s sponsor, Rep. Linda Chaney (R-St. Petersburg), says it s to increase transparency on what s being taught in the classroom. Chaney explains parents and grandparents in her district were denied access to view materials used in school sex education courses. Parents felt unprepared to discuss with their children what they were being exposed to in class of this sensitive material and felt they needed to make the decision for their child to participate or not just like they would for a field trip, Chaney says.
