A federal judge has extended a temporary restraining order preventing Florida officials, including Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the head of the state's health department, from threatening television stations that air commercials supporting an abortion rights measure. This measure, known as Amendment 4, is set to appear on next week's ballot. The judge's decision aims to protect the freedom of speech and ensure that the public can access information about the measure without undue influence or intimidation from state authorities. The ruling also blocks the administration of Governor Ron DeSantis from taking any further steps to intimidate broadcasters.
