This is the story of my family, and of my Mom -- who we lost to cancer when I was 13 years old. Her courage and resilience inspires me to be brave, and to fight for Florida families. Her story hasn't ended, but it’s up to us to write the next chapter. We start in November. #HD47

Florida's fish and wildlife officials were caught using law-enforcement tools to spy on everyday citizens who dared to publicly criticize the agency.
That's both creepy and improper.

New: Data center interests have spent more than $22 million on campaign contributions in Florida ahead of the 2026 elections.

Roughly a quarter of that money (~$5.8 million) has been spent boosting Byron Donalds, the heavy favorite to become the Republican nominee for governor.

Ossoff: Who won the 2020 election?

Clayton: I’m not going to get into that with you.

Ossoff: Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question, to have to indulge the president's delusions?

“Florida is the most expensive state for home insurance, with the average statewide policy costing $8,400, according to Insurify.

Barton said, ‘It's affecting people's pockets now directly. As far as everyday living.’” https://t.co/fq4c8J6bYN

We finally have city-by-city estimates showing how Florida’s proposed property tax amendment could impact municipal General Funds…the budgets that actually fund local government.

The five hardest-hit Florida cities:

• Palm Coast: 42%
• Palm Bay: 34%
• Port St. Lucie: 29%
• Cape Coral: 28%
• Deltona: 27%

This is the basic fiscal analysis the Legislature should have had before it voted. And the Governor’s administration had 18 months to produce it.

Instead, Florida debated a constitutional amendment without knowing which cities would be hit the hardest. 🧵

Note as always the conflation between immigration status and criminality. As the Supreme Court itself has made clear, being undocumented is not a crime.

While some undocumented immigrants committed a misdemeanor on entry, many others did not, and their presence is not criminal.

State economists have developed city-by-city estimates of the fallout from Amendment 3, the proposed constitutional amendment that would drastically cut and cap property taxes in Florida.

The city of Orlando, for instance, would lose ~$100 million in annual revenue by year 5.

BREAKING: As of tonight, 1 in 7 homes for sale in America is in Florida - a state with only ~8% of the nation's homes.

The Florida for-sale market is flashing warning signs:

45% of listings have taken a price cut (6.6 pts above the national rate)

1 in 10 homes are selling for less than the original owner paid

Psyop attacks headed towards Byron Donalds and Jay Collins?

Eight new political committees - most with names that seem intentionally designed to trigger certain segments of voters - were just formed in Florida by the same person.

State Board of Education Meeting is meeting via conference call to ban undocumented students from being able to attend our state colleges. This is unconstitutional, and 100% of the public commentary is AGAINST this decision. They limited our public comment to 1 minute each.

NEW: After spending the last year talking about cutting property taxes, DeSantis says he won't campaign for the amendment on the ballot this fall.

He said it's because the amendment was changed by the Legislature:
