No Casinos is launching a new statewide ad campaign to warn Floridians about the new Seminole Compact, which opens sports betting that they say illegally expands gambling in violation of the Florida Constitution.
The Orlando-based anti-gambling group argues the deal between the state and the Seminole Tribe of Florida, signed by DeSantis late last month and could be finalized during a Special Legislative Session starting May 17, lets âpoliticians and gambling lobbyists, instead of voters, authorize a massive expansion of gamblingâ in the Sunshine State.

Several right-wing advocacy groups are campaigning against two of President Joe Biden s nominees, reprising the Right s previous attacks on health care expansion and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Groups including the Judicial Crisis Network (JCN), the Heritage Foundation s political arm, and the recently established Americans for Public Trust (APT) are spending millions of dollars on TV and digital ads that began running on Feb. 19. The groups are reportedly trying to repeat the tactics and successes of the Right s advocacy efforts to get Donald Trump s Supreme Court nominees confirmed, efforts led by JCN and other groups in the network of former Federalist Society executive Leonard Leo.

Charles Koch s political operation and his close family members have funded the campaigns and leadership PACs of all 13 U.S. senators who will attempt to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden s victory on Jan. 6 based on Trump s conspiracy theories and lies. When Congress convenes on Jan. 6 to certify the Electoral College results giving Joe Biden a clear victory in the 2020 presidential election, 13 right-wing senators will attempt to block the process in clear violation of the Constitution they swore an oath to defend.
All 13 of those senators have received the financial backing of Charles Koch, whose political operation and family have spent more than $15 million to put them in the Senate.
