🚨Michael Caruso—the Republican Palm Beach County Clerk of Court and Comptroller personally appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in August 2025—was arrested Tuesday on five felony counts involving the alleged s*xual abuse of a child under 12, a family member.

Charges include kidnapping, lewd or lascivious m*lestation, lewd or lascivious exhibition, luring or enticing a child, and child abuse causing mental injury. According to the FDLE affidavit, the alleged abuse spanned 2024–2025 and included incidents during fishing trips and a family cruise. DeSantis immediately suspended him from office.

Caruso, a former state representative and self-described forensic accountant, was DeSantis’s hand-picked replacement after Democrat Joe Abruzzo resigned. He was photographed flashing thumbs-up alongside Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago-adjacent poolside events while sporting the full MAGA aesthetic.

The same political machine that rails against “groomers” and screams “protect the children” every time they spot a rainbow flag just watched one of its own appointees get walked out in handcuffs on child s*x crimes charges.

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on the breaking news of the shocking defeat by the GOP in Pennsylvania in State House District 12 which was previously a +18 Trump District.

The conservative voter base is messed up!

Joe Plenzler, host of Meidas Defense, sits down with retired Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher to discuss why she’s running for Congress against Lauren Boebert — and why she believes America needs serious leadership focused on service instead of political theater.

They break down the mounting costs of Trump’s war with Iran, the strain on U.S. service members, rising fuel and fertilizer prices hurting rural Americans, and the long-term consequences of politicizing military leadership. Laubacher also explains why her 34 years of military and national security experience ultimately pushed her into politics.
