When will all this come together? Here's a construction timeline looking at when construction will begin on the new park, when residents and workers might move in, and when the whole thing should wrap up: https://t.co/WrjggNcdPL

ICYMI: The Tampa Bay Rays finally have a deal for a new stadium in St. Pete: https://t.co/CkzQRYFShx

If it goes through, it'll end the longest-running sports soap opera in Tampa Bay. The backstory on the Rays' decades-long stadium saga: https://t.co/QX8gMH5bGU

You can see renderings of the new stadium and Historic Gas Plant District here: https://t.co/m6XynhLPOO

The stadium deal ends years and years of political drama spanning both sides of Tampa Bay. While there's much more to come, here are some of the early winners and losers in the aftermath of the stadium news: https://t.co/8KS2Z5UaAM

A stadium is far from the only component of the $6.5 billion, 86-acre development of St. Pete's Tropicana Field site. There's also 6K homes, 1.4M sf of office space, 700K sf of retail, a museum, a 4K-person concert venue and more. w/@RebeccaLiebson: https://t.co/w5V38sj0LE

Florida has spent the last few days drying out and cleaning up from Hurricane Idalia. What has this experience taught us? https://t.co/gAuGWbyPIt

[Jay Cridlin @JayCridlin]

As Hurricane Idalia's destruction came into full view Thursday, @GovRonDeSantis and others said it could have been much worse. Meanwhile, in Tampa Bay, residents across the map started drying out their waterlogged lives. Today's @TB_Times report: https://t.co/pQAbYnYgzZ

[Jay Cridlin @JayCridlin]

Hurricane Idalia sawed through Florida's nature coast on Wednesday, wrecking small towns in the Big Bend area and flooding Tampa Bay waterfronts from Tarpon Springs to Apollo Beach. How the Sunshine State survived a day of near-record storm surge: https://t.co/ebTeNtEWGU

Tonight: The first Republican primary debate of the 2024 presidential race, featuring Florida's own @RonDeSantis. We're covering it live all night right here --> https://t.co/bZn4UtVXBy w/@romyellenbogen @mahoneysthename @lmower3

[Jay Cridlin @JayCridlin]

With Trump officially out, @RonDeSantis will sit squarely in the spotlight at Wednesday's GOP primary debate. Here's how it might play out -- and which candidates might fire direct shots his way. https://t.co/uIRUGtuwef

[Jay Cridlin @JayCridlin]

"Slitting throats." "Kneecapping" ESG. "Destroying" leftism. @RonDeSantis is known for tough talk on the campaign trail. Is it turning off too many moderates? https://t.co/b8MIpqaYgH

[Jay Cridlin @JayCridlin]

Another insurer, Farmers, withdrew from Florida’s crumbling property insurance market this week. @GovRonDeSantis has signed laws designed to address the issue. But now that he’s running for president, critics argue he hasn’t focused on it enough. Has he? https://t.co/mGwHKJmIb4

[Jay Cridlin @JayCridlin]

In his campaign for president, @RonDeSantis has targeted the key battleground of South Carolina, where a massive tide of @realDonaldTrump support awaits. What will it take for DeSantis to upset Trump here - and if he doesn’t, can he win anywhere else? https://t.co/C0kRl2VCzw

[Jay Cridlin @JayCridlin]

Gov. @RonDeSantis' presidential bid started less than smoothly, with a Twitter launch marred by glitches. It's since propelled him across the U.S., trying to win votes away from Donald Trump. A month in, what have we learned about DeSantis' 2024 campaign? https://t.co/zF5uqqb15s

[Jay Cridlin @JayCridlin]

Florida @GovRonDeSantis wanted to grab the internet's attention by launching his 2024 presidential campaign live on Twitter with @elonmusk. Mission, as they say, accomplished: https://t.co/lF26yGUMv0

[Jay Cridlin @JayCridlin]

So @GovRonDeSantis is expected to announce his long-anticipated bid for the White House tonight alongside @elonmusk on @TwitterSpaces. How did Musk become such a big DeSantis supporter, anyway? Here: https://t.co/vUPt81IL8K

[Jay Cridlin @JayCridlin]

You know that guy who stirred up controversy by tracking Elon Musk's private jet (@ElonJetNextDay)? He's now tracking the official state plane of Gov. Ron DeSantis, too (@DeSantisJet). Details: https://t.co/hF5yo258fa

What do ESG (environmental, social, governance) and DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) platforms look like at major corporations? We reviewed four Tampa Bay companies' plans for an idea. https://t.co/dhTrWa4EpT

[Jay Cridlin @JayCridlin]

In Florida, @GovRonDeSantis has made no secret of his distaste for "woke" corporations' ESG initiatives. The thing is, a lot of employees, companies and investors actually like them. Here's how 3 major Tampa Bay companies view the ESG movement: https://t.co/K3cRgBksXl
