Republicans have improved in Polk today. Need to sustain it.
Republicans are underperforming in Polk County. We have a voter registration advantage of 60,000 in the county and it went R+30 four years ago.

It would be absurd to bailout AI companies. Bad policy and horrible politics. I hope Republicans don’t let Democrats out maneuver them on this.
JUST IN: House Democrats introduce resolution to ban taxpayer-funded bailouts for AI companies if the industry faces a financial collapse.

The demonstration included Joby (eVTOL) and Beta (CTOL) aircraft. It was neat to see the landings at TPA but also observe how quiet they are compared to traditional rotary fixed wing aircraft. They also have very intuitive controls. At the simulator we have at SunTrax Mason (8yrs old) was able to fly a simulated route from TPA to the Raymond James Stadium area. He landed hard, but safely.
In 1914, thousands gathered on the shores of Tampa Bay to witness Tony Jannus make history with the world’s first commercial airline flight. Today at the same site, we celebrated the first flights of “flying cars” in Florida—electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft retracing Jannus’ historic route.   Today’s flight event, which featured three types of eVTOL aircraft, was part of a series of demonstrations through the FAA’s Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Integration Pilot Program. I’m proud of Florida’s leading role in this national program and the years of preparation that brought us here. We’ve made infrastructure investments, enacted innovation-friendly policies, and worked hard to usher in a new era of transportation here in the Sunshine State.   Florida has long been a staging ground for the future. Today’s historic AAM flights have proven that Florida remains on the cutting edge of transportation innovation.

Nice — get them pythons out of the glades!
Years of removing invasive pythons from the Everglades are paying off—native wildlife is finally bouncing back. Wait until you see who took over an old python den! #PythonCowboy #Everglades #Wildlife

First AAM demonstration flight with two different companies, Joby and Beta. The flight commemorated the first commercial flight, which took off from St Pete and landed in Tampa, by Tony Jannus in 1914.

I don’t think that's true. Four years ago the registration advantage for Rs was probably about 5% in Polk; today it is about 13%. Turnout is underperforming registration.

The UK should allow cybertrucks — it’s absurd they don’t!

The Firm is an underrated movie. Great cast.
The Firm is an outstanding adaptation of a John Grisham book I love. I’ve consistently written about Grisham & his influence on me. Picking up my first Grisham book in middle school was a watershed moment. Grisham’s writing lends itself so well to Cinema because his stories are packed with layers. Great author. Great book. Great film.

These springs investments are on top of the record investments that have been done since 2019. Do you have reading comprehension problems or are you just deliberately spewing falsehoods?
Replying to @RonDeSantis
Why are you waiting 6yrs into your Governorship to do this? This has been a HUGE issue in Washington County, Fl for decades. Here's a tidbit, when my son was an Engineer for the Southwestern Water Management District he made a call to ask Lake Okeechobee they threatened to fire him for JUST ASKING.
