Such an important point by @washingtonpost Philip Rucker on MSNBC: the appearance of unity at the RNC is because all the anti-MAGA elements have been purged. Do we forget why Trump needed a new VP? There’s no Mitt Romney. No Liz Cheney. No Michael Steele. Those reporting on the veneer of unity should be constantly noting this.

Y’all out here acting like Trump is Mandela. Cut it out.

Trump broke the law. 12 peers held him accountable.
How you like them apples.

Column | The Florida Legislature is full of hayseeds like Dean Black. If this latest clumsy effort to preempt @MayorDeegan’s promise to take down a Confederate monument fails, another will come right behind it. Take it down now, before it’s too late.

We appreciate the incredible speakers and performers who worked for months to deliver on stage this weekend at TEDxJacksonville 2023 Human/Nature.
The conference presented sensational talks and performances — and the event would not have been possible without our generous partners, our hard-working volunteers, and the hundreds of attendees who valued a day devoted to ideas, connections, solutions, and action. #TEDxJAX

What a productive day in Washington, D.C. We had lots of promising conversations about federal grants to bring home to Jacksonville, and it was an honor to be part of the @WhiteHouse Office of Gun Violence Prevention announcement. Collaboration is how we solve our challenges.

34 percent of Harvard students are white. 43 percent of those students are either legacies, children of faculty, kin of donors or a recruited athlete. 75 percent of them would not have gotten in if not for special status (National Bureau of Economic Research).
But when in doubt, blame the Black people!
