#FLGOV: David Jolly announces he won’t debate Byron Donalds

China is not our ally. They are a strategic adversary bent on military, economic, and global domination, and I’ve been calling that threat out since I was elected. Information operations are as old as war, and technology has only amplified their reach. We must remain always vigilant. X recently uncovered a suspected Chinese bot farm of roughly 200,000 accounts, including accounts attempting to manufacture outrage over AI data centers and American energy policy. That’s the playbook: exploit legitimate concerns, distort the debate and turn Americans against each other. When we fight amongst ourselves, they’re winning. The United States can lead the world in AI, without giving Big Tech a blank check or losing individual rights. We WILL NOT sell out Florida’s agricultural land, harm our water resources, or rob our people to cover the cost. We need strong oversight and commonsense guardrails that protect our state and our people. We hold people accountable if they lie or cheat. AI is an adjunct — a tool that can help or hurt. Guardrails allow AI to assist people, not replace them. We can beat China in the AI race while protecting Florida, standing strong on conservative values, and putting America first.

🎉 FEATURED: Our Vice President, Driena Sixto, in the Sun Sentinel! 🎉 We're proud to share that our VP Driena Sixto had an opinion piece published in the South Florida Sun Sentinel, making the conservative case for Right to Repair. Her argument: ownership is a conservative value — and the right to repair your own car, phone, or appliances is about protecting the freedom and fairness that comes with truly owning what's yours. 🔧 From your car to your appliances, this fight isn't just about repairs — it's about principle.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš: Social media is evil. I know it's bad. I lie down at 10 p.m... and then I keep staring at Instagram. Once you watch something, it just keeps recommending sharks. I'm afraid of sharks.
