NEW: Hope Florida says it connects disabled people with essential aid. But 10 people I spoke with provided emails showing they were led to dead ends. Meanwhile, they're furious the state misused $10M in Medicaid for politics—money that could've helped them

Heartbroken over the news of the passing of @TBTimes_Bulls. Joey was a talented writer and even better person. He took tremendous pride in his coverage of Team Tampa Bay & @USFAthletics. I especially loved his long form writing on helping introduce new members of our sports community to our area and also his stellar coverage of so many tremendous human interest stories, including our local prep scene. His work was beyond meaningful and impactful. We are forever grateful. USF Athletics will plan to honor his lasting legacy starting with today’s home events. Rest in peace, my friend. 🙏

The 3rd attempt is up for consideration this year. It seeks $7 million for a water line to deliver drinking water to the area
The fate of that request will soon become clear, as FL's legislative session is almost over

A thread about our depraved healthcare system, and a plea.
In 2021, my friend Carole was diagnosed with terminal stage four cancer. A single parent with two kids, she had just turned 43. In 2017, she had watched her brother Chris die of the same cancer. He too was in his 40s.

My latest: The week before Williams died in a Tampa hospital, relatives told police they were worried visitors were bringing him pills, records show.
Three of his friends shared similar concerns with me. I’ve confirmed Tampa Police is investigating.
