One of the right’s top hitmen seems to be one… The following is probably way too much information for some of you but I can’t resist. Ali Alexander and Milo Yiannopoulos are alt-right icons. Alexander is one of the big organizers of the Stop the Steal insurrection and Yiannopoulos has been hanging around Roger Stone for years and was most recently working with Marjorie Taylor Greene. These are people with access to the highest reaches of the GOP, including the Dear Leader. Oh, and they’re all affiliated with the Nazi Nick Fuentes and Kanye West. This is just … amazing: A key figure in the pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” campaign has apologized after being accused of asking teenage boys for sexual pictures. Ali Alexander has become one of the most ubiquitous figures in the MAGA movement.

There are many reasons for the state to battle with a corporation but being a snotty bitch because the corporation objected to something the Governor said isn’t one of them: Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed Monday that the Florida Legislature will soon reassert control over Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District, promising to void development agreements and even floating the idea of building a state prison near the world-famous attraction. Legislation also will be filed to take away Disney’s self-inspection of rides and monorails and allow the state to examine a ride if someone is seriously injured on it, DeSantis said at a news conference at Reedy Creek’s administrative building. He then mused about potentially selling off the district’s utilities and developing district land that Disney doesn’t own. “People are like, ‘Well, … what should we do with this land?” said a smiling DeSantis. “… Maybe create a state park, maybe try to do more amusement parks? Someone even said, ‘Maybe you need another state prison?’ Who knows?
