Medical care decisions and speech deserve the defense as the market, sir.
A free market must be defended from government interference.

You also repeatedly sold out the people of Manatee County. Honestly you have been a terrible representative but not nearly as bad as Ron has been Governor.

For many years and across different foundation roles, I have appreciated the support and guidance of @flphilanthropy. @AshleyHDietz is a tremendous leader who is always attuned to members. TY for featuring me and @SelbyFoundation this month! fpnetwork.org/page-18520

Funny how DeSantis is fighting “woke” in FLA after 8 years of Gov Scott and Rs in charge since 1998.
The @HouseGOP is showing us what it looks like to stand for conservative ideas and fight for Americans' best interests. Caving to D.C. Democrats' reckless spending and woke agenda won't work. It's time we STOP COMPROMISING and start delivering for the American people.

The Higher Waters initiative explores this phenomenon by connecting with experts + efforts underway to understand its effects. TPF aspires to share its findings in various ways via a repository of science-based, easily accessible data on rising water.... conta.cc/3DOkXIc

For a long time, we’ve reassured ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed. But it is not. We have to defend it. Protect it. Stand up for it. That’s why tonight, I am asking the nation to come together and unite behind this single purpose – of saving our democracy.

This is one reason I was fortunate to work whee I grew up. Old friends and family are grounding. Especially in Red land.
Who we interact with in our day to day lives affects our journalism.

And/or spend less precious time and space citing polls, and more explaining candidates' records and positions.
Good morning! How about kicking off your pre-election Friday by explaining your coverage to the people you aim to serve, so they'll find it more credible?

Just watch.
Vote for change. Vote for our sons. Vote for Joe.

Thank you, Vanessa; your kind words mean a lot, and Yvonne and I are doing well together in retirement. I'm going to take a social media break, so I wish you well.
