DeSantis is clearly not phoning it in. The list ... shows a governor who knows how to wield the levers of power for good—to save lives and alleviate suffering. Our prayers go out to Floridians affected by Ian. Stay safe out there, folks.

On Tuesday afternoon, DeSantis' office sent out a press release outlining the state's response to the storm—and it's extraordinary. Not only does his plan include assisting with practical needs like the provision of food and water, but the governor has also ordered agencies to cut red tape to ensure that people get the help they need, including waiving rules that prevent people from refilling their prescriptions early, and releasing SNAP benefits (food stamps) early to allow people to stock up on food ahead of the hurricane.
