Our recent post about where we were 2 years ago (in the RV in Texas!) has got us reminiscing about other parts of that epic trip & a story written about us by @dbevil.bsky.social of the @orlandosentinel.com:

Colin Castleton and the #Magic have agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal, a league source told the @orlandosentinel. First on the agreement was @MikeAScotto.bsky.social.

The #Magic have withdrawn the two-way qualifying offer for guard Mac McClung, a league source confirmed to the @orlandosentinel.

As @KeithSmithNBA.bsky.social first noted, McClung is now an unrestricted free agent.

With guards galore, Orlando has 2 two-way spots still available.

4/5...

DeSantis appeared to co-sign the agency’s demand in a tweet sharing the letter. "Bottom feeders gonna bottom feed," he wrote.

FFS Ronny, in addition to threatening a news outlet like this, what's unacceptable is this kind of talk from a governor:

"Bottom feeders gonna bottom feed..." JFC.
A tweet on X from Ron DeSantis on June 6, 2025, sharing the post from FL Department of Children and Families: "Bottom feeders gonna bottom feed..." A tweet from FL Department of Children island Families, June 6, 2025: We have heard that @jeffschweers with the @orlandosentinel is calling foster families in Florida and threatening or coercing them to say things about Hope Florida. This is unacceptable. The Hope Florida Foundation supported foster families with donations from non-taxpayer funded sources that allowed these families to repair and restore their homes following the hurricanes last year. The Department has sent the following cease and desist letter to the Orlando Sentinel: [an image of the letter attached] Letter to Orlando Sentinel from FLORIDA DEPARTMENT of CHILDREN AND FAMILIES State of Florida Department of Children and Families Ron DeSantis Governor Taylor N. Hatch Secretary June 6, 2025 ORLANDO SENTINEL COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, LLC 633 North Orange Avenue Orlando, FL 32801-1349 Roger Simmons, Executive Editor, rsimmons@orlandosentinel.com Jeff Schweers, Tallahassee Reporter, jschweers@orlandosentinel.com Sent via Email Re: CEASE AND DESIST It has been reported to the State of Florida Department of Children and Families that Orlando Sentinel reporter Jeff Schweers has been contacting Florida foster families and both falsely and with malicious intent asserting that the families are implicated in fraudulent activity by accepting financial assistance from Hope Florida Foundation, Inc., a charitable Direct Support Organization affiliated with this Department. After hurricanes Helene and Milton, these foster families had home restoration work admirably gifted to them by the Hope Florida Foundation to restore their living conditions so that they could continue to care for their foster children in their homes. It is believed that Mr. Schweers' threats and accusations were used as coercion to get the families to make negative statements about Hope Florida for his reporting, and/or to dissuade them from accepting future assistance. Foster families are the backbone of Florida's child welfare mission, taking into their home abused or neglected children and providing them a stable family setting with which to grow and thrive. Here, the two (that we know of) families contacted were aided by Hope Florida Foundation, Inc., in rebuilding their foster homes after a devastating storm to ensure their caregiving was uninterrupted. To harass and intentionally cause distress to foster families by threats and coercion is abhorrent. Cease and desist the above-described intimidation of these families. State of Florida, Department of Children and Families

The Orlando Sentinel editorial board took a firm stance against what it claimed was "intimidation" and "bullying" by the DeSantis administration over its investigation into a charity connected to the governor's wife.

The Florida governor and his wife stole $10 million from Medicaid funding to sabotage citizen-led ballot initiatives. Now, they’re trying to hide their grift by threatening the press.
Orlando Sentinel "As hostile as DeSantis' administration has been to the press... this is the first time we've heard of the state government trying to shut down reporting for a story."
