The Floridan Reports: Florida politics has welcomed a conservative hegemony unlike any other in the nation as a result of Gov. Ron DeSantis's "Florida First agenda." And now it appears as if Florida Democrats have read the writing on the wall and are aligning themselves with Gov. DeSantis on protecting children from the dangers of social media.

State Rep. Michelle Rayner-Goolsby (D) , who is the author of HB 591, or the Social Media Protection for Minors bill, agrees with Gov. DeSantis's efforts to protect children from "grooming" and exploitation by Bigh Tech-supported social media platforms

"Everybody knows the governor and I don't agree on quite a lot, but I will say this, my parents taught me I'm with you when you're right. And I believe that this is right," said Rep. Rayner-Goolsby to The Floridian after a press conference on her bill. "I believe this is right to do, I agree with him that there has to be protection for our children, and especially when we're talking about giving parents back the power, this gives parents back this power."
