No child should have to worry about where their next meal will come from. For many families, summer break means losing access to the reliable meals children receive at school. Feeding Tampa Bay’s Cereal for Summer campaign helps bridge that gap by providing nutritious meals to children throughout our community. Whether you donate a box of cereal or make a financial contribution, every act of generosity helps ensure local children have the food they need to learn, grow, and thrive. Scan the QR code to donate or find a drop-off location near you. Together, we can help make this a brighter summer for Tampa Bay families.

Just a reminder that since getting back into office, Pres. Trump has slashed billions of dollars in grants that kept communities across the U.S. safe, from mental health services to housing-first programs. How's that for making America "safe" again?

My aunt had down's @DannyBurgessFL and is probably the reason I feel protective for folks with the the same (dis)ability. I have never known anyone to experience pure glee over some of the simplest things! Js

Thank you @JeffreyBrandes for nerding out! Mortgage math gives me a run for my money, but insurance? Forever renter

➡️ Community supervision hit its peak in 2009. Since then, the overall rate of people on probation or parole dropped by 31%. These declining numbers are the result of courts placing fewer people on probation and parole boards being stingier with granting release in recent years.

Is this a stat Florida is proud of? @JonMartinEsq @Sen_Albritton @SenatorMcClain @SodFatherFL @LeaderBookFL @GovRonDeSantis @ByronDonalds @davidjollyfl @JeffreyBrandes @RepMcClure With tax law change how will we support this?

@Arrington4Fl Thank you.

Today, I voiced my concerns on the Senate floor regarding SJR 2F, the proposed constitutional amendment on property taxes and voted no. 🏛️ While property tax relief is an important discussion, this proposal was rushed through the process without fully addressing critical questions about its impact on local governments and their ability to fund essential services such as public safety, infrastructure, and schools. The affordability crisis facing Florida is much larger than property taxes alone. If we are serious about helping Floridians who are hurting, we should be addressing housing costs, insurance costs, and the barriers facing first-time homebuyers and seniors on a fixed income—not advancing a proposal that leaves so many Floridians behind. This one size fits all approach will not provide any relief for renters which make up 1/3 of the residents in our state. ⚠️ Floridians deserve a transparent conversation and clear answers before such a significant change is made to be aware of the potential loss of essential services. The proposal will now appear on the November 3 ballot, where voters will have the final say and it will need 60% of the voters support to pass. ✅ I encourage everyone to learn more about the amendment and make their voices heard at the ballot box. 🗳️ Watch here: vimeo.com/1197789887?sha… 🗳️ ----- Hoy expresé mis preocupaciones en el pleno del Senado sobre la SJR 2-F, la propuesta de enmienda constitucional sobre impuestos a la propiedad, y voté en contra. 🏛️ Aunque el alivio del impuesto a la propiedad es una conversación importante, esta propuesta fue apresurada sin responder completamente preguntas críticas sobre su impacto en los gobiernos locales y su capacidad para financiar servicios esenciales como seguridad pública, infraestructura y escuelas. La crisis de asequibilidad que enfrenta Florida es mucho más amplia que solo los impuestos a la propiedad. Si realmente queremos ayudar a los floridanos que están enfrentando dificultades, debemos abordar el costo de la vivienda, el costo de los seguros y las barreras que enfrentan los compradores de vivienda por primera vez y los adultos mayores con ingresos fijos, en lugar de avanzar una propuesta que deja atrás a tantos floridanos. Este enfoque de “una sola solución para todos” no brindará ningún alivio a los inquilinos, quienes representan un tercio de los residentes de nuestro estado. ⚠️ Los floridanos merecen una conversación transparente y respuestas claras antes de realizar un cambio tan significativo, para comprender la posible pérdida de servicios esenciales. La propuesta ahora aparecerá en la boleta electoral del 3 de noviembre, donde los votantes tendrán la decisión final y necesitará el apoyo del 60% de los votantes para ser aprobada. ✅ Animo a todos a informarse más sobre esta enmienda y a hacer escuchar su voz en las urnas. 🗳️ Véalo aquí: vimeo.com/1197789887?sha… 🗳️

Thank you for watching out for bad ideas.

@JuanPorrasFL Where will the funding come from for Public Safety? I appreciate adding school funding, children are the future.

Proud to vote YES on HJR 1F today. If voters approve it, the homestead exemption jumps from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027 then to $250,000 in 2028. Florida homeowners are being crushed. This is how we fight back, allow the people to decide.

Will the voters be smart enough to see the truth?

@FLSenateDems @AnnaForFlorida and others Thank you for doing what is right by educating voters, we must keep trying.

@j_fishback There will be no money with property tax rollback

Florida is ranked dead last in teacher pay. It’s time to raise teacher pay in Florida.

Many people spoke out about the gaps, problems etc in these bills. The special fees we will get will not be tax deductible. 🤦‍♀️

Thank you @DanDaley for staying in #florida #legislation. Happy to see you are continuing as a representative of the people!

@JuanPorrasFL @Daniel_PerezFL Congratulations!!!

Speaker @Daniel_PerezFL shaped the Florida House with principle, discipline, and vision. The FL House and our state will be better off because of his leadership. Congratulations, Mr. Ambassador. Florida is very proud to see you represent the United States in Brazil.

The sponsor of said bill does not sound knowledgeable about where the money is coming from....

Shortage of treatment is common and therefore when the people are released they are usually worse mentally than before.

@mcbadjokes @NikkiFried you are wrong

@kim78652 @NikkiFried it's a fraction of a fraction of the budget. stop fear mongering

Here we go again, using YOUR money for HIS propaganda so he can run for POTUS.

“The $250k homestead exemption would cost school districts $5 billion annually, according to .. the nonpartisan (FPI).FPI also said in many fiscally constrained rural counties, due to the lower assessed value of properties,a $250k homestead exemption is close to full elimination”

@davidjollyfl @ByronDonalds any thoughts on this?
