To be clear, David Jolly went from being one of the most moderate Republicans in Congress to a moderate Democrat over the span of a decade. Not a shocker. Meanwhile Byron Donalds went from being a registered Obama-Era Dem to a far right Republican just years later.

Reminder: this is how Vivek got rich. He bought a worthless drug, had HIS MOM run a bogus trial on the drug, then went on CNBC and lied about it.
The drug never worked. Investors lost all their money. But Vivek had already cashed out.

Every Democrat that’s on the fence in Maine needs to hold their breath and just vote for Jackson on Election Day or you are stuck with another Republican vote. The first vote she will take upon winning is confirming Ted Cruz to SCOTUS if they lose the Senate on Tuesday.

Great summary.
"Choosing David Jolly over Byron Donalds does not turn you into a Democrat. It makes you a Floridian who weighed the options and chose the best candidate. That's all." - @Vincinnatus

Election officials in south Florida say they're alarmed at how slow USPS is delivering ballots.
And they're urging voters to vote in-person at this point: washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

Donald Trump functions as a Russian asset, and the entire GOP is going along with it. Their legacy is their complicity - vote them out.

The best way to honor her memory is to make sure Ukraine defeats Putin's fascist dictatorship.
"Putin will wage war. I don’t know when, but he will. And you, Europeans, will be surprised to discover that this war is aimed at you, too... You think that what is happening in Moscow has nothing to do with you—that it’s our problem.
Putin hates people like me, certainly. But through us—in Russia, or through the revolutionaries in Ukraine or Georgia—it is you he hates: your democracy, your society, your freedoms.
Do you think his regime is merely a threat to us? Your awakening will be brutal."
Anna Politkovskaya, in Paris, 2005.
She was assassinated in the lobby of her apartment building on October 7, 2006—Putin’s birthday.

NEW: Florida AG James Uthmeier took $645,000 from a PAC tied to Leonard Leo.
Leo appears in the Epstein files 7 times.

The Byron Donalds TV attack ads against Jolly are so goddam dishonest. And notice that Donalds does not talk about his record of voting for higher gas prices, food prices, the Iran war, hiding the Epstein Files, and collecting $30,000,000 in tax dollars for his wife’s schools.

Floridians, want lower homeowners and car insurance?
Insurers are bankrolling Republican candidates in FL.
Ask yourself why?
Vote Blue!
Last month, the @orlandosentinel published a long-hidden state report exposing property insurers who were hiding excessive profits through their affiliate companies. Those insurers donated $2.1 million this election cycle. $1.8 million went directly to Florida Republicans. 🧵

I cannot think of one reason anyone 65 or older would ever vote Republican. They are coming after Medicare and SS. Here is the first shot.

Erika runs a charter school hustle that funnels millions of tax dollars into companies controlled by HER.
Zero accountability.
Erika knows nothing about education.
Shes not an entrepreneur.
She’s a bean counter who discovered how to get rich hustling taxpayers.
The teachers union wants to end the school choice programs Florida families depend on.
That same union endorsed @davidjollyfl.
As governor, he would be expected to defend those programs in court.
Could Floridians trust him to fight the very people who elected him? The answer is no.

Another Trump scam built in to help Putin. The US collecting billions from Ukraine for Patriot interceptors but no delivery until 2030.
A strong decision by the U.S. State Department – authorizing Ukraine’s purchase of Patriot interceptors to counter Russian ballistic missiles. Five hundred PAC-3 interceptors is a substantial number, and very soon – this winter – they COULD make for a highly effective defense package. However, it has been stipulated that deliveries may begin ONLY IN A FEW YEARS. We are asking our American partners to find a solution for the time when there is a real danger and a real need to use PAC-3 interceptors.
Right now, the Russians are attacking our energy infrastructure every single day. In just these past two weeks of October, there have already been more than 30 Russian strikes on critical parts of our power grid. It is right now, even before the beginning of winter, that Putin has started carrying out his operation to attack the systems that sustain life in our cities and communities. The targets are electricity, heating, water supplies, bridges, and life in our cities in general.
We did ask our American partners to provide Ukraine with a winter support package – at a rate of 100 Patriot interceptors per month. Five hundred missiles would be enough to protect our skies over the coming months – precisely when it is so important for Ukraine to be in a strong position in negotiations and for Russia NOT to succeed in breaking life in Ukrainian cities and communities.
The United States, our European partners, and other partners around the world have sufficient stocks of PAC-3 interceptors in their warehouses. Providing them to Ukraine right now – in the winter of 2026–2027 – and replenishing our partners’ arsenals LATER, in THE FOLLOWING YEARS, through this production already contracted and paid for by Ukraine and our partners would be the right approach. And it is entirely feasible.
We are grateful to President Trump. Importantly, we recently discussed PAC-3 interceptors with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Ukraine is grateful to the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Administration overall for granting this authorization. But we are asking for decisions that can guarantee the protection of lives not the day after tomorrow or sometime later, but at the very moment the threat is there – when Russia is killing and destroying. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine!
