Congratulations to @JoeGruters on becoming the next RNC Chair! The @FloridaGOP under his leadership has become a model for success around the country, so it is only fitting that he lead our national party into 2026 and beyond.
As RPOF Chair, @JoeGruters helped turn Florida deep red and delivered historic Republican victories. Now as @GOP Chairman, he’ll take that winning formula nationwide. Congratulations, Chairman. Florida leads!

To set the record straight: I have not endorsed anyone for Charlotte County Commissioner. Any claim otherwise is a flat-out lie.

You are not an “asylum seeker” if you throw rocks at federal officers and wave the flag of the country you supposedly “fled.” You’re a criminal. You’re an invader. Pack your flag. You’re going home.

Florida Democrats are such pathetic, delusional losers that they think spending $17 million to lose two congressional races by double digits is a “win.”

Calling the majority of America dumb and stupid is a losing strategy for Democrats, but I say keep at it, @IlhanMN! Nothing fires up voters like insulting their intelligence.
Ilhan Omar called Americans dumb idiots and is crying that Americans are allowed to speak

Congratulations to Roman Falletta from The Classical Academy of Sarasota, @TCASarasota, on his incredible modern art masterpiece of President Donald Trump made out of legos!   @RealDonaldTrump loved it!  It’s inspiring to see young patriots from my district channel their love for our country and our President through such creative talent. Keep up the great work, Roman!

This law has done nothing but incentivize illegals to come into our state. Interesting to see our Lt. Governor suddenly evolve on this issue. Let’s not forget that when I introduced this bill in the Senate 8 years ago, she opposed it at every turn.
It’s been more than a decade since this law was passed. Our country looks very different today than it did then. It’s time to repeal this law. It has served its purpose and run its course. Florida will not incentivize illegal immigration through this law or any other. Under the leadership of @GovRonDeSantis, Florida has enacted the strongest anti-illegal immigration laws in the country. In fact, our administration has banned sanctuary cities, prohibited drivers’ licenses and IDs for illegal aliens, enacted E-verify, sent illegal aliens to sanctuary jurisdictions, and deployed resources to the southern border to fight back against the unprecedented illegal immigration. These policies have, as intended, deterred illegal immigration and Florida has a responsibility to do more.

We are $36 trillion in debt and only 62 Republicans voted against a bill that will cost taxpayers $30 million for tree research in Hawaii. You can’t make this stuff up.

Now that’s sportsmanship at another level. Thank you @SawRobertson12 for showing the Love of Christ on the football field.
Prayers up for a speedy recovery, @LSUfootball 🙏

We enjoyed Nik Wallenda’s Wonderland Illuminate show in Sarasota! Great holiday activity for the family, and shows last until January 5th: wonderlandcircus.com/

Acting “decisively and tough” is NOT cutting a deal with Democrats and expecting your conference to swallow 1,500+ pages of garbage right before a shutdown—especially after Trump’s decisive win and with a Republican Senate taking over in 15 days.
