Florida’s attorney general, a steadfast ally of Gov. Ron DeSantis, on Wednesday kicked off a new legal fight against the Biden administration that centers around a contentious new law regulating unions that the governor has boasted about on the presidential campaign trail.

Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a federal lawsuit in Fort Lauderdale that asserts top White House officials — including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg — are violating federal law because they are threatening to withhold hundreds of millions in federal grants unless a state panel grants waivers to Florida’s new union law.

“Florida passed laws to protect workers from being strong-armed by unions,” said Moody in a statement. “Biden, intent on driving our country into the ground, continues to try to force states to implement his bad policies.”
Moody, who endorsed DeSantis’ bid for president, has engaged in a long-running series of battles with the Biden administration, especially over immigration. Moody is widely viewed as a potential 2026 candidate for governor.

1. They have gotten so good at lying, they are "protecting workers" from unions?

2. Yeah, I had to think about that for a minute. Good grief.
