There will be a time, probably in just a few years, when the GOP starts moaning about the debt and spending again and I think it will be useful to have printouts of this story to pass around.

Most headlines refer to this as "misspent" or "misappropriated". Whether by a legal definition it's "stole" those other words GREATLY understate what happened. They took $10M of public money for childrens health care and laundered it thru a string of orgs to get it into a political campaign account.
Democrats are using a leaked grand jury report on Hope Florida as a fresh line of attack against Sunshine State GOP incumbents, seizing on findings that Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration "misappropriated" $10 million in taxpayer funds from a health care settlement intended to help needy children.

And as soon as tomorrow, Judge Talwani may also issue a TRO against the new rule the USPS issued Friday night to implement the EO.
