@DuncanThrownutz My problem is less with the policy, more with the process. We’ve let government become an extension of backroom politics, much to the disservice of people.
Just keeping track: Speaker Perez passes a mid-decade gerrymandered map for Trump. He also passes a tax break for all Ambassadors that are residents of FL. Then gets nominated as Ambassador to Brazil by Trump, all in the span of a few weeks.
Unparalleled levels of corruption.
As I’ve said multiple times before on this platform, good luck finding a statement from me saying I don’t support reducing property taxes, because such statements don’t exist.
We need to reduce property taxes, but it needs to be responsible.

No. He’s doing more typical politician garbage: promising everything but delivering nothing. DeSantis’ proposal collapses municipal budgets without even following through on his initial promise to eliminate property taxes. Failure.
Florida @GovRonDeSantis on his property tax proposal: "I hear politicians blab about affordability and never offer any solutions for it ... this is how you do it."
My first job ever was working for this fantastic Senator. She’s a great role model and leader. So excited to see her back in the Senate! Go @LeaderBookFL !
I’m proud to announce my candidacy for the Florida Senate, District 30 — because families in this community deserve a fighter who knows how to get things done.
I’ve spent my life fighting for children, families, survivors, and communities too often overlooked or ignored — and I’m ready to bring that fight back to Tallahassee.
I’m running to make Florida more affordable for working families and seniors, keep our children and communities safe, protect our fundamental freedoms, and deliver the kind of leadership rooted in compassion, accountability, and real results.
That’s the work I’ve always believed in — and I’m ready to keep fighting for it.
From ruling: "The election machinery of the state is already underway. ... The primary is less than three months away, and the general less than six months. The public interest weighs more in favor of certainty than a haphazard judicial mandate of discarded maps."
I genuinely hate hearing that Senator @TinaPolsky isn’t running for re-election.
A wonderful human & well-regarded by all members, Tina approaches public life with a servants heart. Her presence will be missed in the State Capitol.
State Senator @TinaPolsky, one of the better members if you ask me, announces she will not seek re-election

I’m not one for the “if you weren’t here for this” tweets. But I will say:
As a kid, I (and I know many of you) sat there watching every single game. Grasping for any hope.
Jubilant for the smallest victories.
Marbury and Curry and Lee and Melo and Porzingis and tanks and lotteries and teams without even a single recognizable name.
Hundreds of hours of wondering how in the world we could even approach where this team now finds itself.
So I say, let’s bask in it.
Congrats to all of you. Let’s keep going.
Instead of supporting our police, firefighters, and teachers, Republicans in Tallahassee decided to make their lives more expensive in our state.
All so they can fund other ridiculous projects in their long-overdue budget. Saddening.

I’m proud to endorse @AnthonySabatini Sabatini for Congress in Florida’s 11th District.
Imagine America five years from now if we keep treating our country like nothing more than an economic zone — a giant open-air Walmart with no borders, no identity, and no loyalty to the people who built it. Picture overwhelmed schools where your kids get less attention, hospitals turning away citizens because beds are filled with emergency cases that never end, wages stuck or falling while housing prices explode, and neighborhoods that feel less safe every single year. That’s not a country anymore. That’s a business that’s liquidating its own citizens.
Sabatini gets it: the fight against illegal immigration isn’t about politics — it’s about whether America remains a real country with sovereignty, culture, and a future for our kids, or just a giant hotel with no checkout time. He’s willing to say what most won’t: secure borders are the foundation of everything else that matters.
That’s why he has my full support. The choice is clear — a sovereign America, or something much worse. Sabatini is fighting for the first one."
