Here's what's going on out there right now.

Illinois literally erased criminal penalties for intentional HIV transmission. Not reduced them. Erased them. This one’s so crazy the news barely covered it and it’s gone hidden for years. Governor Pritzker signed House Bill 1063 back in 2021, and just like that, if you know you have HIV and you deliberately expose someone without their consent, that's no longer a crime in Illinois. Before that bill, it was a Class 2 felony. Up to seven years in prison. Twenty-five thousand dollar fine. Now? Nothing. Florida still treats intentional exposure as a felony with up to thirty years for repeat violations. Because in Florida, deliberately putting someone's life at risk has consequences.

Then there's Minnesota, where lawmakers introduced a bill that would let law enforcement walk into your home to inspect how you're storing your legally owned firearms. No warrant. No probable cause. No crime suspected. You just exercised your Second Amendment right, so now you lose your Fourth Amendment right. Don't comply? Up to five years in prison. Florida has constitutional carry. No permit. No registry. No government showing up at your door. Your rights don't come with strings attached here.

Massachusetts just topped both of them. Their Supreme Judicial Court ruled in March 2026 that armed robbery isn't automatically violent enough to hold someone before trial. That ruling now applies to every armed robbery case in the state. Every criminal defense attorney in Massachusetts just got handed a get out of jail free card. In Florida, armed robbery means automatic detention. No bail. No walking out the door. DeSantis signed that into law because Florida actually respects the people who follow the rules.

Virginia's got a DA named Steve Descano in Fairfax County who literally published on his own campaign website that his office would go easier on illegal immigrants if prosecution might lead to deportation. Police warned his office in writing three separate times about one repeat offender, Abdul Jalloh, with over 40 arrests including rape and assault. They told him it was a matter of when, not if, something terrible would happen. His office did nothing. On February 23rd, 2026, Jalloh stabbed a 41 year old mother named Stephanie Minter and ended her life at a bus stop. Descano is now being called before the House Judiciary Committee to answer for it. Florida makes sure ICE knows when someone here illegally commits a crime. DeSantis made that crystal clear. You break the law in Florida, you face every consequence that comes with it.

And then there's California, where a 24 year old independent journalist named Nick Shirley started filming empty government-funded daycare centers and ghost hospice facilities billing Medicare for patients who didn't exist. The whole thing blew up. Congressional hearings got called. Federal funding got frozen. So California's response was to write a bill making it illegal to film these operations. Assembly Bill 2624 was written by Assembly member Mia Bonta, who happens to be married to California's Attorney General, the guy whose job it is to prosecute this exact fraud. Under the bill, filming these organizations and refusing to take it down could mean a ten thousand dollar fine and up to a year in jail. The bill already passed committee 11 to 2. In Florida, we go after the fraudsters. Not the people exposing them.
