Merry Christmas from the Costello’s.

And for the first time since 1978, no FSU or UF fans will be getting tickets to their team’s bowl game for Christmas.

WHAT IF the commercials for LG Collins aren’t test balloons for a primary with Donalds - but rather boosting his profile in a region with one “problematic” incumbent Republican congressman to see if a primary challenge is a path there. Or, laying groundwork for a new redistricted seat should redistricting occur.

This sounds like a line from a 1980’s dystopian thriller - but nope, it’s reality.

Beautiful day for fall baseball. It was very nice of @GovRonDeSantis to take a quick picture with William - who insisted he attend the game in costume.

Given today’s news, an interesting Florida fact is that while many former Lieutenant Governor’s have gone on to high profile careers in academia or appointed positions, none have ever won a race for higher office. Two did go on to serve as Governor due to vacancies for 27 days.

And just like that, “Do you listen to Coldplay?” Becomes the most popular new line at conference hotel bars.

I decided to spend a little time digging through budget data as we await this year's veto list. For other political nerds out there, this might be a fun, quick read. capitolstrategygroup.com/pos…

Most Floridians have never even heard of it—but Camp Gordon Johnston in Carrabelle trained over 250,000 troops for amphibious assaults like D-Day. Before the beaches of Normandy, they prepared on the beaches in Northwest Florida.

Could an interesting, out of the box next move result in a President (of UF) DeSantis? Haven’t thought it through, but it could be a lucrative and interesting place for one of the first cpl to lead the conservative movement in academia & mitigate some of the current R on R fire.

It’s MLK Day, Inauguration Day, and National Championship Day - if you can’t find something to be happy about today, you might be the problem.

Some thoughts on business as we track #HurricaneMilton

Anyone interested in allowing the local tourist development tax to fund FSU’s NIL? Buying a good team every year would probably have a bigger economic impact than whatever we are using the money for now. #FlaPol

Dead battery to start the work week. Monday’s have the reputation they deserve.

There are going to be some great deals on FSU gear at T.J.MAXX this Christmas season.

The 90’s bowl cut was bad. I don’t know how we let our children make it worse by getting one and then perming the top.

I’m suspicious…
