Yesterday, I visited JM Diamond Farm and Paul Griswold Farm in Santa Rosa County to survey storm damage and see the peanut and cotton operations helping to feed and clothe our country. Remember to watch out for farm equipment on the backroads. The debris stacked along county roads makes it harder for the tractors to create space. Stay Alert. Stay Alive!

Illinois Democratic Congresswoman Delia Ramirez introduced legislation to dismantle the Department of Homeland Security and abolish ICE. Democrats keep treating immigration enforcement as the problem. Here in the Free State of Florida, we know the people trafficking drugs and people are the problem. Vote Republican to keep ICE doing its job. nypost.com/2026/10/13/us-new…

Thank you to Commissioner Rhett Rowell for welcoming me to Jay High School for lunch. A graduate who returned to teach government and history, he’s helping prepare the next generation in the community that raised him. That’s a commitment to service I have a lot of respect for.

A raise should help you get ahead. When higher grocery costs, insurance premiums and utilities eat every dollar of it, you’re running in place. Before politicians propose another tax or mandate, they need to explain how much more families will have to pay.

Florida agriculture doesn’t stop at the farm gate. Jay Peanut Farmers Co-op and Golden Gin help move peanuts and process cotton, while Panhandle Growers raises shade and ornamental trees across more than 350 acres. It was great to visit these Santa Rosa County agribusinesses as they continue to recover from hurricane damage. Agriculture suffered real financial loss after Hurricane Isaias.

Seeing a specialist shouldn’t mean losing a full day’s pay to drive across the state. Newly announced $193.7 million in federal funding will help 45 Florida organizations expand rural health care, including mobile services and telehealth. That money needs to deliver more available appointments and care closer to home. cms.gov/newsroom/press-relea…

Veterans earned their benefits. They shouldn’t have to make call after call or submit the same paperwork repeatedly to get them. Answer the phone. Process the claims. Hold those responsible accountable when they fail. We owe our veterans results, not excuses.

Your vote deserves leaders with the backbone to defend it. The DOJ announced election-related charges against 48 noncitizens, including six in Florida. We have to back investigators, give prosecutors the resources to make their cases and demand accountability for anyone who broke the law. Free and fair elections are the bedrock of our Republic.

AOC is campaigning with Senate candidates Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and Troy Jackson in Maine to put more socialists in Washington. Every seat they win means more influence over your taxes, spending and freedom. Take them seriously. Make them defend their agenda. Get out and vote to stop this radical movement.

A 15-year-old has been arrested in connection with the shooting near FAMU that injured 12 people. This is heartbreaking on every level. Families are hurting, lives have been changed, and a young person is now facing serious consequences. We have a responsibility to teach our kids right from wrong, that actions have consequences, and that violence is never the answer. I commend the Tallahassee Police Department for their swift action and stand with law enforcement as they continue their investigation.

To the surprise of no one, China is using fishing boats with trained, state-backed crews alongside coast guard ships to prepare for a potential conflict. Beijing is hiding military ambitions behind civilian vessels while bullying Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines. miamiherald.com/news/nation-…

New Yorkers elected a mayor. What they got was a socialist propaganda machine. The New York Post reports Mamdani’s team has delayed government meetings to brainstorm “social media videos.” Socialist promises might get applause online. They don’t balance a budget or keep communities safe. VOTE Republican. nypost.com/2026/10/22/us-new…

If you're a veteran, you have likely led teams, maintained equipment and delivered under pressure. Those skills have value. The VA is highlighting transportation careers that put military experience to work. Help veterans get the credentials and connections to get hired. Hiring a veteran isn’t charity. It’s a smart investment. news.va.gov/150458/transport…

USDA announced approximately $50.5 million in farm safety net and conservation payments for Florida producers and landowners. Eligible producers: check with your local Farm Service Agency office about payments and enrollment. Our farmers have bills to pay and another crop to get in the ground. fsa.usda.gov/news-events/new…

A parent asking what their child is being taught is doing their job. Schools should be able to answer without getting defensive or making families jump through hoops. Parents shouldn’t need a lawyer or a public records fight to find out what’s happening in their kid’s classroom.

This is why Florida must keep Republican leadership: our job is to make this state a place where businesses invest, employers hire and families can build a future. You can raise the tax rate. You can’t make people stay and pay it. Bernie Sanders backs California’s proposed billionaire wealth tax, while two Stanford economists warn it could drive residents away and bring in less revenue than it promises. Get out and vote like our future depends on it. It does. cbsnews.com/news/california-…

A radicalized Texas teenager allegedly plotted to assassinate Congressman Keith Self after consuming ISIS propaganda online. The FBI stopped him. Good. Anyone who plots murder for ISIS should be hunted down, arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We will not wait for an American family to bury one of our own before we act. nypost.com/2026/10/22/us-new…

No veteran should be left sleeping on the street. A new VA contract with Volunteers of America Florida makes 18 existing beds in Gainesville free for eligible homeless veterans, with help accessing care, employment resources and permanent housing. A temporary bed is the starting point. The mission is lasting stability and independence. alligator.org/article/2026/1…

Before a major development gets approved, residents deserve answers. Can the roads handle it? Is there enough water? Who pays for the infrastructure it requires? Florida can welcome investment without letting developers call all the shots. The people who live there deserve a say before the deal is done.

When someone breaks into your home, you need a cop at the door. When a violent criminal is arrested, you need a prosecutor willing to put him away. The Democratic Socialists of America want to abolish police and prisons. Your neighborhood is not a testing ground for their Socialist BS.
