Upping the ante in an increasingly acrimonious feud with House and Senate Republican leaders over immigration issues, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday vowed to channel “huge sums” of money to candidates he backs in next year’s GOP gubernatorial and legislative primary elections.

The Governor is ready to put his donors’ money where his mouth is.

Google said the changes align with its policy of following official US government geographic designations through the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), and will come into effect once the GNIS is updated.

Google Map users will soon notice the name changes of two historic U.S. landmarks: The Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali. As of January 27th, Google has officially announced that it will comply with an executive order issued by the 47th President during his inauguration nine days ago,

Google said the name changes, which also includes using Mount McKinley, will happen when Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is updated.

Google Maps said it would change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America once it is officially updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System.

They think by putting the name of a strong president on a weak bill that is somehow going to pull the wool over the eyes,' DeSantis said
