For the past ten weeks, American conservatives have been boycotting Bud Light in response to a beer can featuring transgender figure Dylan Mulvaney. Since then, sales of the beer have been plummeting . However, this week, a new benchmark has been passed: Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Bud Light is no longer the top-selling beer in the United States.

Long before Ron DeSantis was the antilockdown governor and long before he was the potential 2024 Republican presidential candidate, DeSantis was the water quality governor. He funded 100 percent of appropriations bills that came to his desk his first year and he even got President Donald Trump to pay lip service. While getting him to offer a
