Mark Cuban: Embracing Wokeness is Good Business for Companies like Target and Bud Light.

Mark Cuban, billionaire and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, claims that companies embracing "woke" ideology is just good business, despite backlash against companies like Target and Bud Light for promoting LGBTQ+ ideologies in their brands.

The divisive 'Walmart Melania' nickname for Casey DeSantis.

Casey DeSantis, wife of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, wore a jacket with the words "Where Woke Goes To Die" on the back, referring to the governor's campaign against woke ideology. However, the liberal media, including Katie Baker of the Daily Beast, twisted the statement to suggest that Casey was advocating for the death of woke people. Baker's column was described as vicious and vile, and Ron DeSantis called it a hatchet job. The unfair treatment of conservative politicians' wives by the liberal media is a form of hypocrisy, and Morgan argues that this is one reason why he wants woke ideology to go to Florida and die.

DeSantis and Newsom's Culture War Takes Center Stage.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke to Michigan Republicans, positioning himself as an unapologetic conservative who has developed a "culture of winning" in his state. He did not mention Trump by name but referenced the NY indictment. DeSantis railed against a "woke ideology" that he claimed Democrats are advancing across the country under the guise of acknowledging systemic injustices. He touted laws he has signed to limit discussions of race or sexuality in Florida schools, his fight against Disney, and his decision to fly Venezuelan asylum seekers to Massachusetts in an apparent critique of Democratic immigration policy. DeSantis has not yet announced a presidential campaign but is setting the stage for a possible run in the GOP primary against former President Donald Trump.
