I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.
My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.
One has to wonder what Griffin gets in return for this massive donation? More for-profit charter schools? Does this have anything to do with Mrs. Donalds? This all just reeks of corruption. Beware.
Actually, when we say accountability we mean a choice school should have to teach a kid to read, any kid; that all schools should be measured and held to basic standards; and yes, we mean getting grifters and fraudsters out of our choice schools so families are protected. You understand.
Thank you to Glenna Milberg and WPLG Local 10’s This Week in South Florida for the opportunity.
I’m asking for your vote in the August primary so in November we can defeat María Elvira Salazar, lower costs, protect our freedoms, and Take Back Congress.
Gwen Graham discusses how her fashion choices serve as a commitment to public service, people, and how the Jolly/Graham ticket seeks to uplift all Floridians. Take a closer look!
When Trump said “I’m not going to start a war,” many Americans believed that promise - and voted for him.
When he said his Iran war would be over in a few weeks, many believed that too.
Americans today are fed up with the cost of this war - and the lies.
I’m listening to Floridians, and they’re saying loud and clear: don’t give away our water, our land, and our communities to Big Tech.
That’s why I’m calling for a moratorium on new data centers until Florida has real protections in place. Our future should be shaped by the people who live here, not the special interests writing the checks.
A significant milestone for Miami-Dade County!
Tuesday, the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners approved the design contract for the full 5.6-mile Ludlam Trail, advancing this long-envisioned project into its next phase. Once completed, the trail will transform a former rail corridor into a vibrant public space that connects neighborhoods, parks, schools, businesses, and transit while creating new opportunities for walking, bicycling, running, and outdoor recreation.
Public design meetings are anticipated later this year, providing residents and stakeholders with the opportunity to help inform the final design of this transformational community asset. Together, we are one step closer to bringing this exciting vision to life for generations to come.
Byron Donalds says rural Florida wants AI data centers.
We’re listening to the people who actually live there. They want their land protected, their water protected, and a say in what gets built in their communities.
Florida belongs to Floridians, not Big Tech.
Today, we celebrate 250 years of American independence.
Two and a half centuries ago, our nation began with a promise: that freedom, self-government, and the rights of the people were worth fighting for. Every generation since has been called to protect that promise, expand it, and make it more real for those who come next. That work continues today.
This Fourth of July, we celebrate the country we love and recommit ourselves to the values that make America worth believing in: freedom, democracy, dignity, opportunity, and the responsibility we share to one another. Happy Independence Day, Florida.
May we honor our history by building a future worthy of it.
