For years, Florida has been trying to return federal funds to the federal government due to the ideological strings attached by the Biden Administration—but they couldn't even figure out how to accept it. Today, I met with @elonmusk
and the DOGE team, and we got this done in the same day. Other states should follow Florida in supporting DOGE's efforts!

Florida returned $878,112,000.

Here's the story on that.....

DeSantis says Florida returned $878M in taxpayer funds to federal government after meeting with Musk, DOGE

DeSantis said Florida had been trying to return federal funds to the federal government over the 'ideological strings attached by the Biden Administration'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, said Friday that the state was returning more than $878 million to the federal government that it had been attempting to give back for the past few years during the Biden administration.
DeSantis' office informed the U.S. Treasury Department that $878,112,000 would be returned to the federal government.
The governor said the move came after a meeting with billionaire Elon Musk and his team at the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

"For years, Florida has been trying to return federal funds to the federal government due to the ideological strings attached by the Biden Administration—but they couldn't even figure out how to accept it," DeSantis wrote Friday on X.
