What happened to just governing? Leadership is an act of attention, and the kind of attention that Bob Graham showed everyday Floridians is exactly what we’ve lost among our leaders here, and exactly what we need back. My column in the Tampa Bay Times is linked below.
If she doesn’t win, and I hope she does, Angie Nixon absolutely needs to be the next FDP chair. That registration gap will start to close quickly, incredible ability to reach and inspire that the FDP sorely needs.
Byron only cares about two things: using charter schools to make money from your tax dollars and helping Trump with his agenda that hurts you.
Vote for someone who actually cares about making a difference for you and making Florida more affordable, vote for David Jolly.
Just fell to my knees in Publix
BREAKING🚨: The DGA is investing $1 MILLION in the race for governor in Florida

So after Day 1 of early voting (when accounting for additional mail in ballot drops) the democratic lead actually grew by about 600 votes to 51,700, just like we all expected right?
Hey @DemGovs not too late to come invest and help get this across the finish line.
The Democratic Party struggles with long-term vision. Cali and NY are projected to lose House seats after the next census. TX and FL are projected to gain. We need to be investing in TX and FL now as control of the House will become increasingly difficult if we don’t.
Democratic Governors Association expands its map, but not yet to Florida floridaphoenix.com/2026/10/1…
Project 2025 Contributor JMI had to manufacture a Trump +18 sample to get a double digit “lead.” All they’re proving is Donalds and Moody are both significantly underperforming, they’re lucky national dems have chosen not to invest in Florida or else they’d lose.

This race is truly just a good, quality person in JJR versus one of the most unethical and unqualified candidates in Uthmeier.
This is huge, JJR can win and let’s hope this gets him over the finish line.
Democratic Attorneys General Association announces it is donating $5 million to help @JoseJavierJJR and his campaign against @JamesUthmeierFL That’s a sizable amount for a down ballot Cabinet race
No matter your beliefs on the death penalty, this is barbaric and sociopathic. Which is exactly what we called it when the Taliban was performing public executions.
Beyond that, I don’t see how this wouldn’t be a clear 8th Amendment violation.
He can’t actually define it because what it is - an economic system where the government owns the means of production, property and resources - is something the Trump admin has actually been doing, taking ownership stakes in private companies lol
Asked how he defines socialism, @VP Vance says: "I don't know what the term means anymore. I think in reality, what it actually means in the American context is that you want to replace American workers with foreign workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports."
Lol the entire opinion relies on illogical circular reasoning that the monies were not public and validates an arrangement where a state agency can for some reason direct a law-violating contractor to pay a private entity instead of the state treasury, bypassing the legislature
Meanwhile in Florida:
NEWS — Democrats are sending money to the Texas governor’s race as polling tightens, per @nytimes.
JB Pritzker and the Democratic Governors Association are each putting $1 million behind Gina Hinojosa’s campaign against Gov. Greg Abbott.
David Jolly wins if @AndyBeshearKY just has the courage (seriously)

Hey @DemGovs the post mortem here is going to be we lost a very winnable Gov race because you chose not to invest. Winning this race would fundamentally alter the path to House majorities and the White House. The only reason Jolly isn’t winning is because he’s outspent 10-1.

So we should elect Byron who’s been charged with multiple felonies, wants to divert funding for public schools to unaccountable charter schools (that his wife profits from), whose party created the affordability crisis, and wants our “pristine land” filled with data centers???
Pastors, sheriffs, lawmakers: 25 Black leaders just launched a coalition for @ByronDonalds & @BryanAvilaFL. Byron: "Every Floridian wants the same things: a safe neighborhood, a good school, a paycheck that covers the bills, and a shot at owning something that lasts."
Let’s say it how it is, Byron Donalds is focused on enriching himself and his billionaire donors, dismantling public education (especially as he profits off of the zero accountability voucher system) and destroying Florida’s pristine land with data centers. I could go on.
He legitimately should be in prison
"IT IS ENTIRELY LEGAL": When asked about the $10 million Hope Florida controversy, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier reaffirmed that the settlement was approved by "every top lawyer in the state." wfla.com/news/politics/bipar…
