The taxpayer-funded renaming of Palm Beach International to “President Donald J. Trump Airport” is an unprecedented grift. It’s unethical, it’s corrupt, and I refuse to support the legislature’s effort to subsidize Trump’s continued profiteering from public office.

DeSantis said the quiet part out loud. He wants to solve Florida’s labor shortage, worsened by anti-immigrant laws, with CHILD LABOR. SB 918 repeals all child labor protections for 16-17 y/olds + allows vitural/home school kids aged 14-15 to work past midnight on school nights.

In the rush to ram his reform thru the legislature, the governor’s office completely forgot supervisors of elections, property appraisers, and tax collectors offices are funded by property taxes and had to amend their half baked proposal to make it make sense. 🤦🏻♂️

The Governor is embarrassed + humiliated that the court is shutting down the Everglades camp, a very important priority of his. Nearly $250 MILLION in corrupt no-bid contracts were given to GOP donors to build this site and taxpayers get none of it back. So much for DOGE.

Just visited the Orange County jail. Confirmed several immigrants who aren’t facing any criminal charges were transferred to the Everglades camp. The claim that Alligator Alcatraz is only for the ‘worst of the worst’ is a complete LIE. We’ll continue demanding accountability.

The legislature has taken us in a dangerous direction and turned our classrooms into political battlefields. I’m fighting back and running for Florida Senate to give our community HOPE that we can still elect people who care about helping people. Together we win in 2024.

“Right now, 16 and 17 year olds cannot work more than 8 hours on a school day. SB 918 does away with that.” “Right now, those children are not allowed to work before 6:30A or 11PM on school nights. This bill does away with that as well.” "Just keep them working."

A new report released by the State of Florida shows they spent $573 MILLION from emergency reserves on the Everglades detention camp and other immigration-related political stunts. This AM, the Florida Senate will consider a reauthorization of this emergency slush fund, SPB 7040.

In the middle of the night, Orlando community members used BIG BEAUTIFUL PAINT to restore the FDOT-approved pedestrian safety enhancements outside of Pulse Nightclub in response to state-sponsored vandalism. WE WILL NOT BE ERASED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. 🏳️🌈

This is serious. HB 999 shifts control higher ed towards Ron DeSantis, effectively eliminates tenure, + ABOLISHES womens/gender studies degrees and DEI initiatives while allowing political appointees to rewrite mission statements at all 12 public universities. Wake up, Florida!
