RUBIO: "I don't think that the European Union gets to determine what international law is. They certainly don't get to determine is how the United States defends its national security." He added: "I do find it interesting that all these countries want us to send and supply, for…
These senators slipped in a provision to reopen the government that guarantees them $500k if DOJ settles their Arctic Frost lawsuit. And we’re supposed to be okay with that? What about J6? This is outrageous. Really disappointed to see some of the names on this list. You can’t…
Monday, DeSantis’s Dept of State set candidate qualifying for this special for 11/19-20. That means the resign-to-run deadline was 11/9 – a day *before* DOS announced it! 1/2
Special election in HD 51 set by @GovRonDeSantis for 1/13/26 and 3/24/26. Yes, the Governor can move on calling special elections when he wants to.
Looking at this, it seems to go beyond just the eight initially named Senators with phone logs obtained in the Jack Smith investigation. @SenRickScott would also be eligible as investigators subpoenaed his records for his phone number from Verizon.
New spending bill would pave the way for Senators to sue for $500,000 each over phone records searches -- and appears to make 8 GOPers immediately eligible nytimes.com/2025/11/10/us/…
DEI Republicans? Is that a slur for Black Republicans? If anyone has earned their place in life, it’s the guy that wasn’t born into privilege and worked his way to the American Dream. Byron will win. Florida wants Byron. You don’t work for DOGE. Floridians don’t know you. Bye.
We don’t want any more DEI Republicans who feel entitled to our votes. If Byron wants to win the Florida Governors race, then he needs to win the Florida Governors race. It's that simple.
I’m receiving messages from panicked business owners about the hemp ban. The Senate snuck in hemp ban language into the gov’t reopen package. I’m hearing it will kill a lot of jobs & Republicans will lose a lot of votes. Passing this on.
I'm hearing growing skepticism whether Fla follows through with a plan to create more GOP seats Many see the more aggressive Washington wants Fla to be with a map, the riskier things become for GOP incumbents who should be safe under current lines But it's Florida So who knows
Between OH, KS, CA, VA and now this huge win in UT, Democrats have quietly strung together an impressive streak of victories over the past few weeks that have, surprisingly, pushed the mid-decade redistricting war closer to a draw.
I warned the Speaker for months that a redistricting war was (1) bad for the country, (2) unpopular with Members on both sides, and (3) likely to end as a wash. Yet he cheered it on rather than try to stop it.

A bit of back and forth between top WH aide James Blair and James Fishback over the Fla governor's race 👇
Also a lie. I called you yesterday and asked why you lied to Politico about our “conversation”. You promised you’d keep all conversations private going forward (I didn’t ask) and I expressed confusion at how you could think a text was otherwise. I then said that it’s a free…
On Veterans Day, a demonstration of veterans opposing war in Palestine is happening outside Union Station. Many anti-Trump signs but a speaker calls the war a "bipartisan genocide." He says the goal is to create a backlash from veterans similar to what turned opinion on Vietnam.
This is probably a case of comparing apples to bowling balls, but I've heard the @FRSCC pleaded with @RonDeSantis to not call Spex Election in SD 14 for now because there is concern that, even with a solid GOP nom, the environment is so bad for Repubs that Dems could steal seat.
The @MorningConsult survey we conducted over the weekend was the worst of the year for the GOP. 1. -10 net approval rating for Trump (lowest so far) 2. -12 net fav rating for Rs in Congress (lowest so far) 3. D+5 on generic ballot (highest so far) pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/donal…
Rand squandered away much of his capital in recent weeks but this was quite the dirty trick by McConnell to push this in as a part of the vote to reopen the government; and then Mike Johnson, who is a pathetic simp if we are all being honest, lied in classifying this as some…
The hemp provision in this appropriations package wipes out nearly 100% of legal hemp products overnight: killing jobs, crushing farmers, and overriding 23 state laws that already regulate hemp responsibly. Our farmers have turned to hemp as a lifeline when fertilizer, fuel, and…
So breaking a 70-year-old record for lows is a sign climate change isn't happening?
38 degrees in Sarasota!!! In November! Feels like 29! Yet under Biden “Climate Change” and “Global Warming” were existential threats…Our record low for today is 40 degrees, set in 1956. The last time the November temperature dropped to 40 was in 2008.
Comment @JamesUthmeierFL?
Tonight, the U.S. Senate rejected Sen. Rand Paul’s amendment to strip a national ban on intoxicating consumable hemp from the resolution to reopen the government. The vote was 76-24 against Paul’s amendment. The vote shows the U.S. Senate, with this huge bipartisan vote,…
I believe you, @j_fishback Will you, in the spirit of seeking truth, confirm that you believe @AGJamesUthmeier took $10,000,000 in Medicaid funds from Florida families and funneled it to his own PAC?
I tell our students at @IncubateDebate that we are here to seek truth. I told them they can only have one goal at our debate tournaments: do you want to be right, or do you want to seek truth? If you want to be right, you’ll fall into confirmation bias. You’ll only hear what you…

This is hogwash. Completely misleading the American people and it’s irresponsible. Lawmakers — including folks on the House side — are trying to shoehorn a massive change to federal hemp law into a government funding bill that has nothing to do with reopening the government.…
BREAKING NEWS: Florida has requested a 39-day South Atlantic red snapper season for 2026! That would be 37 days longer than this year. Thank you, @GovRonDeSantis for your leadership on state management of this fishery and longer red snapper seasons. I look forward to working…
State management and expansion of Gulf snapper season has been a major boon for our Gulf of America communities, allowing so many Floridians and visitors to enjoy the Red Snapper our waters have to offer. Today, I was proud to announce that Florida anglers will soon be able to…
Which Senator is demanding a measure on withholding member pay during shutdowns? Because I happen to know one who has been banging that drum for a long time.
Sen. Mullin says after GOP lunch that it’s not just Rand Paul holding up a time agreement. Now that Paul wants an amendment vote, others want amendment votes too. Rand’s is germane to the underlying bill, Mullin says, but there’s another R demanding a vote on legislation to…
I worked for @SpeakerMcCarthy during the 15-round speaker vote. Now I’m in the Senate, where it took 15 votes to reopen the government. If I had a nickel every time Congress needed 15 votes to do something, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much, but it’s insane it happened…
