Amidst all of the celebration last night over
@DonnaDeegan
making history in Jacksonville, I wanted to share my favorite moment from the evening:
My mother has been waiting a lifetime for the first woman mayor, and I was in tears as she watched it become reality.
This is absolutely despicable - Ben Frazier is a staple of the Jacksonville Community.
@GovRonDeSantis
arresting folks at a publicly noticed event that triggered open meeting requirements of FL sunshine is not only brazen, it’s illegal.
For all my Campaign Staffer family, I’m gonna let y’all in on a little secret:
if you call (707) 873-7862, you will reach an automated database of pep talks from elementary school kids put together as part of a school project.
Thank me later.
1. Hire Caldwell as GM
2. Hire Byon as HC
3. Bring back
@JimmySmithJags

4. Bring this banger back to gamedays
5. Win Super Bowl off swagger alone
BREAKING: Florida lawmaker files bill to give up to $5 million to Florida residents running for president facing "legal, partisan, political" legal attacks
Filed by Sen.
@IleanaGarciaUSA
, it creates the "Florida Freedom Fighters Fund"
I don't want to over-exaggerate here, but Biden rallying European nations to the defense of Ukraine and helping topple Putin without having to fire a shot will be a defining historical moment of the 21st century.
The geopolitical calculus in Europe will never be the same.
A friend of mine mentioned this the other day and I've actually lost sleep over this, so here goes:
Has anyone in Jacksonville actually met someone who works at the Maxwell Coffee Factory downtown?
Realizing in my 28 years, I never have and its slightly concerning.

Lmfao the DeSantis maps are out and like, “tell me you don’t like the VRA without telling me you don’t like the VRA.”
Discovery on this court battle is gonna be spicy as hell
Reminder:
@GovRonDeSantis
has requested a private law enforcement cadre that answers only to him.
If FDLE can be weaponized like this, imagine what happens if he has his own unit of Brownshirts
SOUTH FLORIDA PEOPLE:
Urban league is looking to hire paid canvassers in Miami Dade and South Broward for tomorrow and election day. Rate is around $300 per day
DM me for information, and to my friends: PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE
@funder
This is Doug.
Doug put KKK members behind bars.
Doug believes we are always stronger when we are united, and has worked his entire life to fight for those in need.
Be like Doug.
This morning's events in Jacksonville were a case study in how dangerous
@GovRonDeSantis
will be if he's re-elected. Allowing him a second term poses a direct threat to constitutional freedoms in this state.
It's time to suit up, folks. Democracy isn't a spectator sport.
The Biden admin has announced, in an historic first, major drug companies including Johnson & Johnson, Merck and Bristol Myers Squibb have committed to participate in Medicare drug price negotiations with the federal government.
@ryaneatscake
why people continue to come for Jags twitter is honestly a mystery because while our team might be booty, our social media presence is undefeated
On a personal note, Michele is one of the most intelligent, compassionate, driven, and empowering individuals I've ever known.
It is an absolute honor to call her a friend.
In 2020, I made history as the first openly queer Black woman in the Florida legislature.
In 2022, I will make history again as the first openly queer Black woman in Congress too.
It finally happened:
I'm proud to announce that, after 4 years of political work, I FINALLY convinced someone to vote for my candidate while speaking in German.
South Carolina ain't ready for this.

Hey Josh thanks for donating Xbox's and TV's to all those kids so they could see the lil Nas concert on Roblox, that was so nice of you man
Imagine blowing $100 million dollars on a vanity presidential campaign, losing your window for nationwide fame, returning home to find your approval in the trenches, and getting humbled by your own party’s Supreme Court decisions that upend your entire platform.
Couldn’t be me
What's even more exciting is the list of potential candidates yet to announce. People from all walks of life, backgrounds, and experiences ready to take action.
We also had one of the best weeks in recent history, winning the only tossup council seat, flipping the property appraiser, AND flipping the MAYOR in Duval County.
Some of us made it a point to stay in FL and fight. This is exactly why.
Transparency:
Your new
@FlaDems
just had one of the best 24 hours of purely organic grassroots fundraising in our history.
$31,420 from 755 people.
You. You all did this.

NEW: Press office for
@GovRonDeSantis
responds to Disney canceling Lake Nona:
"Given the company’s financial straits, falling market cap, and declining stock price, it is unsurprising that they would restructure their business operations and cancel unsuccessful ventures.”
Holy shit. Ron DeSantis defends Florida’s new history curriculum standards teaching that slaves learned skills that “could be applied for their personal benefit” — He says it’s “rooted in whatever is factual”... some slaves learned how to be “a blacksmith.”
This weekend is your last chance to vote early for Democrat
@KeenForFL
for the Florida House.
The latest early voting numbers show Democrats and Republicans are neck and neck.
Special elections like this are decided by a small number of voters.
So make a plan to vote early!
For what its worth, this is the type of stuff the governor should be doing. Anna shouldn't have to be doing her job AND DeSantis's. Yet she does it anyways.

They are still waiting for guidance from US Department of Labor for implementing extensions but have stated, “Once proper guidance is received from USDOL & the programs are fully implemented, claimants will receive benefits for all weeks they are owed.” 1/

So, like, I know the dog seems like a fun story and all, but our governor is literally selling vaccines and perhaps thats a bigger story?
