Today I spoke to the Lakeland City Commission about Project Swan.

I’m not against growth. I’m against blank checks.

No NDAs. No tax incentives before public power, water, and traffic studies.

One simple rule: if Project Swan creates a cost, Project Swan pays it — not Lakeland families.

Floridians do not need to subsidize Big Tech.

Shots fired! 🤯💥

@Fla_Pol @ByronDonalds @JayCollinsFL @Paul_Renner @AGGancarski So will there be debates?

[Sam Romain @Sam_Romain]

@MichaelThompson I was waiting for you to announce this was you after that cameo.

[Sam Romain @Sam_Romain]

That article is a paid attack and real but overplayed.

Collins wasn't "boosting" data centers in the sense of lowering standards or handing out new incentives.

He was preserving a threshold-heavy existing exemption that required $150M+ investment and 15MW+ IT load to access. That's a defensible position and actually consistent with a "play by our rules" framing.

Supporting tax certainty for qualified operators is not the same as opposing community impact standards.

The gap between SB 1264 and his current stance isn't hypocrisy, but a difference between economic development policy and regulatory oversight policy.

Those aren't the same lane.

Further, the tax-exempt status is reviewed every 5 years for compliance. This specific bill was setup for critical infrastructure, for example a data center at MacDill.

I'm not here to defend him, and I am certainly no campaign surrogate I have friendly relations with most of the candidates but I do think truth matters.

[Sam Romain @Sam_Romain]

Thats disingenuous, the candidates on the field offer different ideas (thats the point of a primary).

Collins - neutral on development "has to be down by our rules"

Donalds - Build baby Build, boasts economic opportunity.

Fishback/Renner - Outright moratorium. Questionable on if it can be done given Floridas already pro development laws.

It's protected political satire.

It's obvious parody, it's labeled AI, Donalds is a public figure, and no reasonable viewer takes a "Byron Donalds in another timeline" Nazi-uniform image as a true factual depiction of something he did.

No false statement of fact means no defamation. 106.145 doesn't apply to a citizen's organic post, and even if it did, the empty trigger (depicting a real action that didn't occur) isn't met by obvious costume parody, plus it's labeled anyway.

Florida Anti-SLAPP would protect the citizen if Donalds or anyone else tried to sue.

Stop your fake outrage and just let the primary play out.

.@PaulinaRomain I’m buying this.

@Real_miss_Jodie @ConservativaPol @stevinsaga I’m getting exhausted by all the feigned outrage by everyone choosing their candidate and digging in their heels.

[Sam Romain @Sam_Romain]

@Billhelmich Taco Bell did this already and it’s awful.

[Sam Romain @Sam_Romain]

@KittyWiddy I was the first speaker in that 😅

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

Me trying to figure out how votes get counted in LA

@RealFrankFromFL @MichaelThompson Glad to see the Downfall meme coming back it’s such a good movie. Crowder did a good gag to it too.

FACT: More than 90% of the potential energy still remains in spent nuclear fuel.

Some advanced reactors under development could consume or even run on this fuel in the future.

[Sam Romain @Sam_Romain]

@RationalPurview That cover photo of their story is comical

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

This can’t be real can it?

Can someone verify this?
