So if you are willing to testify in a public meeting expect reporters to ask for the spelling of your name. Kinda a BS move to have some state employee block me from asking the question. And in a public meeting in a state of Florida building. This has to stop. #FlaPol

So that's gotta be a first ... No questions from state representatives about the HHS section of the budget, the biggest spending silo. WEIRD. @RAlexAndradeFL

Fla asserted that the feds exceeded their authority with the guidelines. But a federal judge dismissed the case saying that he lacked jurisdiction over it

Big news out of Tampa on lawsuit involving Fla KidCare. A Trump appointed judge tossed Florida's lawsuit challenging fed guidelines over the program ... Fla challenged a provision that said children must remain eligible even if their families are unable to pay premiums. #fla_pol

How quickly we forget how much of a down year this was for the SEC....the only way you can judge conference strength is how they perform against OTHER conferences. Just because you have great crowds doesn't mean you have great teams. The SEC had the WORST non-con record of any P5

[Christine Sexton @christinesexton]

From one of the best former college football player. This transcends #Noles. This is a bad precedent. There is no "I" in team.

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

Florida State is the first Undefeated Power 5 Conference Champion to not get into the College Football Playoff. Despite the ACC having a 6-4 record against the SEC this year. Despite their defense not giving up 30 points in a single game all year. Despite their offense having more yards in the ACC Championship than Michigan had in the Big 10 Championship. Despite holding Louisville’s Top 20 Offense to 6 points. Despite beating 4 Top 25 teams. Despite finding a way to win with their Back up QB in a bitter rivalry game. Despite finding a way to win with their 3rd string QB in the ACC Championship Game. Florida State EARNED their spot in the CFP on the field. With and Without Jordan Travis. You don’t punish or diminish the work of 100+ players and coaches because 1 player is not there on the field calling the shots. FSU always answered the bell this year and their response to losing their QB was to play POSSESSED ON DEFENSE. It’s an absolute travesty that they were excluded from the CFP.

I'm heart broken by this cowardly move. However I'm not going to allow this horrible decision to tarnish this PERFECT season. #NoleNation

@KevinCate Great still shot. Loved the film.

@TheDaraKam @fineout Make sure you catch his thesis "Hold the Mayo." A comedy, if you can believe it, about redistricting.

@Rob_Bradley Probably even tougher for Vinny Testaverde to watch. He was the Jets’ honorary captain last night for the opener. He tore his Achilles tendon in Week One opener of the Jets' 1999 season.

[Christine Sexton @christinesexton]

@Rob_Bradley As a life-long JETS fan I am not surprised this horrible injury happened. It seems par for the course. Hmmm I wonder if this is considered a work comp injury (LOL)
