Chinese state-backed buyers are outbidding AMERICAN fertilizer makers for AMERICAN sulfur, while China bans its own exports. Florida’s phosphate workers, small businesses, farmers & families are paying the price. Time to put America First. @howardlutnick @CommerceGov #act4smallbiz Check out article 👇 sonar21.com/the-human-cost-o…

Best Team In Politics!
THANK YOU FLORIDA! I am humbled and grateful beyond measure. As your Governor, I will give you everything I have.  We are going to make life in Florida more affordable. We are going to keep our streets safe. We are going to invest in our young people so that they can attain the Florida Dream that all of us love so dearly. Florida is the envy of the nation. I will fight day and night to keep it that way and to lift our state to even greater heights. God Bless you, God Bless Florida, and God Bless America.

I want to thank each and every constituent in FL HD100, every volunteer, every friend and family member who helped us over the past 8 years. However, the biggest thanks goes to the woman who has given me the purpose to serve others. It’s been a great ride (2018-2026) in @myflhouse and it’s good to be home. 🏠 #ThankYou

If only there had been some way for them to cast their ballot earlier…
My mother who lives in Brevard said her and my father don’t know if they will be able to get out and vote tomorrow due to flooding. Brevard is one of the deepest red county’s in Florida. God may have a plan that the horrible Republican ticket should lose in Florida for how disgusting they acted in the primary. I can just see Trump saying it was rigged somehow. Florida’s political party is in the hands of the Gods now.

BREAKING: Fishback explains the importance of voting for Byron Donalds in 2026. "We need to make sure that a Democrat never takes the governor's mansion. They will take away our guns. They will mandate vaccines. They will push transgenderism on our kids."

Is this supposed to make it better? I haven’t personally been to Communist China. Wasn’t even alive for the USSR. Never felt the need to caveat either with “I didn’t see it but if they say so.” Cuba is a dictatorship. Easy answer.
It’s disappointing to have to say this, but @CBSNews, this is a serious failure of editorial reporting. I clearly state in this clip that while I have not personally been to Cuba, I have spoken with Cubans who have described it as a dictatorship, and I believe them. To claim I declined to answer the question is categorically false. That is not journalism. It is misinformation.

Brilliant microtargeting, @AngieNixon and @eunicortiz. Text Republican Jews right before Shabbat asking them to "dig deep" for a Linda Sarsour fundraiser. Are you even trying to win? Vote @AshleyMoodyFL cc: @PeterSchorschFL @LauraLoomer @MaxNordau

Worth a civil discussion. Broward has a public art program. When new buildings are built, dollars are set aside for public art. Theory being, no one wants bland boring buildings. The convention center (using tourist development tax dollars, not your property tax dollars, which by law cannot be co mingled). The BSO training facility carried a public art component, (your ad valorem tax dollars were used here, they were properly used by BSO pursuant to the admin code.) Do you think these type of public art projects are worthwhile? Thoughts?

For the first time in years @browardinfo County has adopted the budget for all water control districts in their jurisdiction at the roll back rate. Meaning no tax increase there. Well done.
I am happy to report that for the second year in a row I have made the motion and received the support of my colleagues to REDUCE the tax millage rate to 5.6628 and another modest tax rate reduction for the Broward County millage rate. Thank you.

Gwen Graham ❤️ Unemployed criminal Rebekah Jones Did she ever apologize for accusing the Florida Department of Health of falsifying COVID data? I don’t think so.

I just read the interesting @Fla_Pol article on the Lt Governor candidates in Florida. Here is a breakdown of the top 3 contenders and why I think Meg Weinberger is top of the list for @ByronDonalds. 1) Meg Weinberger- Big tent election appeal ✅ Loved by Trump ✅ Liked in Tallahassee ✅ Big Fundraising ability ✅ Loyalty (not a political climber) ✅ Cool with DeSantis ⛔️ 2) Kat Cammack Liked in Tallahassee ✅ Liked by DeSantis ✅ Good fundraising ability ✅ Didnt endorse Trump in 2024 primary ❌ Political climbing risk ❌ 3) Bryan Avila Conservative election appeal ✅ Liked in Tallahassee ✅ Liked by DeSantis ✅ Military background ✅ No major Trump relationship ❌ Limited fundraising history ❌ Big tent election appeal ❌ Each of these 3 would make a good running mate for Byron Donalds in the general election AND likely serve well as LG. One of Team DeSantis’ former staff shared their opinion with me on Lt Governor: “Meg would be perfect because she’s loyal. We (DeSantis) got so lucky with Nunez. She was loyal and not a climber. No drama.” My pick is @megforflorida but any of these 3 would be a good Lt Governor in the Donalds administration. What do you think?
Did @ByronDonaldsFL just tip his hand? Smart money says 'MAGA @MegforFlorida' in hunt for LG flapol.com/45TGexu #FlaPol

.@ByronDonalds is a fighter who will defend Capitalism, grow jobs and is standing with me to get the SAVE America Act done. Make sure to vote early for him now in the primary - and again in November when he takes on David Jolly!
We need voter ID. That’s why I co-sponsored the Save America Act. We do not need socialist government-run grocery stores — no matter how much David Jolly’s Democrat Party might disagree.

I’m challenging Democrat @davidjollyfl to THREE debates. Three opportunities for Floridians to compare two very different visions for our state’s future. I’ll defend Florida’s record on freedom, economic growth, public safety, and common-sense leadership.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Byron Donalds has refused and been unwilling to debate any of the Republican nominees for Florida Governor, yet has decided to challenge a Democrat running to a debate despite Byron Donald’s not being the Republican nominee. floridapolitics.com/archives/80589…

This is absolutely disgusting! Unbecoming of anyone running for Governor. @ByronDonalds continues to raise above the very worst of what is thrown at him. I can’t wait to see him in the Governor’s mansion in November.
.@jamesfishback calling @ByronDonalds a "slave" is one of the ugliest moments I can remember in Florida politics. Save your whataboutism; I know there have been uglier, violent moments, but every decent Republican should condemn this behavior.
