Of course, demented DeSantis-haters like 'wildcard_redneck' still see a Deep State operation no matter what good is being done. Sucks to be him.

Good for him!
It is amazing how fast the Deep State. A work when it wants to.
%#@&! the GOPe.
Just think, it takes a governor to get this done because the feds want promissory notes for rescuing it’s own citizens.
Is this clown world or not??
Good for him. Says a lot about the Feds though.
Great move by DeSantis. Even though I’m far from being a fan of DeSantis, I will give credit where it’s due, and it’s certainly due in this case!
Still not gonna vote for him, one's own self.
If they are Americans I don’t care who got them home, it will be very interesting to watch this thread for comments slamming DeSantis despite the fact he got Americans home, kind of sad really
Just imagine what he could accomplish as a working governor!
What about the 500 citizens stranded in Gaza? They must be CINOs Citizens in Name Only, Palestinians living in Gaza looking for a free ride out of there until the fireworks are over. In such case, if they are CINOs, State foot dragging in getting them out of there is warranted.
I just wish Ron had stayed in his lane for a couple of years. He would be unstoppable in 28. When the pukes from the GOPe came calling he should have told them to stuff it.
Florida has a large Jewish population, and so does New York.
I won’t hold my breath waiting for Hochul to match DeSantis on this.
Biden can’t even get in a plane much less send one
Florida-based nonprofit evacuates Americans from Israel, asks ‘where is’ State Dept
Published October 11, 2023 8:01am EDT
Americans in the hundreds have turned to Project DYNAMO to find a way out of Israel as airlines pause services and avenues out of the country continue to disappear.
“My team of case managers, who are based in America, they’ve been awake for three days just fielding hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of requests from Americans who are stuck,”
Stern mentioned on several occasions that he received requests from Americans in Gaza but stressed the limits of his resources. He said that the group has access to around a dozen planes, with the smallest able to hold 150 passengers, and the group heavily relies on donations to operate.
So having said all of that, funding drives everything,” he added. “As a veteran-led, donor-funded nonprofit … these boats don’t pay for themselves. Flights don’t pay for themselves,” acknowledging he has seen small increase in donations but “not enough.”
“A plane out of here is going to cost $300,000 to $400,000, and we’re not making anything close to that,” he stressed. “So we’re going have to change our calculus a little bit.”
This group was already in israel, trying to get people out. Money just helped.
Yep and the local Miami media hates him so much they barely mention the effort.
Good move for Ron. I still wouldn't vote for him.
Good move by DeSantis. Any political points he gets are a side bonus, although I do believe this was genuine on his part. It’s sick that the regime holds the threat of “promissory notes” over the heads of Americans trying to leave a war zone. Maybe it’s “always” been that way but if so it should change, esp since they seem to have endless supplies of our tax money to throw at the criminal invaders that keep pouring in.

There are roughly 20,000 Americans, including many Floridians, who are stranded in Israel, according to some reports.
The support we are receiving from Governor DeSantis, the First Lady, FDEM Executive Director Kevin Guthrie, Florida Commerce Secretary Alex Kelly, FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass and his entire administration and the state is overwhelming. We are very grateful for the special flights and supplies.”
