BREAKING: I’m running to succeed Ron DeSantis as Florida’s next Republican Governor to make life more affordable for you and your family. I’ll stop the H-1B scam, tell Blackstone they can't buy our homes, cancel AI Data Centers, and abolish property taxes.

I was denied entry to Mar-a-Lago tonight for a dinner I was invited to last month. I was told it was over my “criticism of Israel and the Iran war.” Next stop: Taco Bell.

Floridian high school graduates are being told that their entire lives have been put on pause in exchange for the appeasement of China. I spoke to @TuckerCarlson about how this is not America First.

Over dinner last night, I thanked Joe Kent for his service to our nation. He, like me and millions of Americans, do not want our young men and women in uniform to die for Israel.

Yes, because I actually think for myself unlike most of the GOP.

CNN asked me why I call @ByronDonalds a “slave.” Here’s why…

Shall not be infringed

@ChrisLaCivita You work for slave @ByronDonalds . You’re a slave to a slave. Your ancestors are ashamed of you.

You are a class A dumb ass

It is *not Christian* to attack a man over a bad decision from his past. I don't know @EvanPower well and I disagree with him on a number of issues, but this attack against him is scummy.

@ginamilan_ You’re chopped. Don’t speak to me.

@j_fishback I would spend 200 billion to deport you to Zimbabwe.

Would you rather spend $200 billion to bomb Iran or…? A: give every teacher in America a $62,500 bonus B: provide downpayment assistance for 20 million young families C: build 1,300 rural hospitals

@basedspinach Foreign concept

@j_fishback The government caring about their citizens? LOL

“You’re Racist” = No more White Guilt “You’re Antisemitic” = No more blank checks to Israel If that makes me a racist, anti-semite, I’m as guilty as @ByronDonalds after he was locked up for dealing drugs in Tallahassee.

My full interview with @MemeRanchDotCom

What I would say to an employer who relies on illegal labor is what I would say to a plantation owner in the 1860s: Get over it.

@UFCR Patriots!

WE WILL FIGHT THIS TO THE END

@JStein_WaPo Congrats Jeff! You’re a commie, but I regularly enjoy your work.

Today is my last day at WaPo after ~9 years A very self-indulgent post, I know, but some highlights of my time: — Meeting & giving voice to those at the bottom: Laid off steelworkers in Kentucky & coal miners in West Virginia; residents in decrepit public housing in NYC; hurricane survivors in Puerto Rico; Maine families crippled by the eldercare crisis; victims of US sanctions in rural Guatemala — Challenging those at the top: Wall Street and Fortune 500 execs; Congressional leaders, White House officials & U.S. treasury secretaries in both parties — Getting an appendectomy in eastern Ukraine — Telling people I had no authority to send stimulus checks, given that I'm a reporter — Spending my travel budget on Taco Bell dinners So grateful for all the editors, sources, reporters & above all readers with me all these years Will be back offline to really finish my book for a little bit — & see you soon @ Washington's most exciting newsroom, new name coming soon

GDP, like age, is just a number. GDP in Florida is up 85% in 10 years. Is anyone 85% better off? Of course not. As Governor, I will never worship GDP, and instead focus on what matters: can you and your family afford life.
