SURPRISE!

We are running another poll this morning -- following up on @katiebentetv's story about Martin County schools controversial grading rule: the lowest score a student can get is 50% — even if they turn in nothing. Fair or lowering the bar?

When the Fort Pierce Police Department needed a hand rescuing ducklings from a storm drain, members of Station 15 were quick to assist! 🦆🚓🚒 Thanks to teamwork and patience, the ducklings were safely reunited with their mama.

Today, I called for a special session of the Florida legislature the week of January 27 to prepare Florida to lead on the Trump Administration’s deportation program. We will allocate resources and ensure state and local officials in Florida are supporting these efforts.   We have no time to waste. Florida must lead.   While we are in special session, we should also address key issues facing our state: ballot initiative integrity, disaster relief, and condominium regulations.

Five years ago I uncovered a security issue at PBI: no cameras in our long term parking garage. I kept digging & found criminals were breaking in, and even stealing vehicles without getting caught on video. TODAY I can report, CAMERAS have been installed in the long term lot.

Happy birthday @StefanyCBS12!

Thank you again for all the outpouring of love for our Ben. I can’t tell you how much it means to me and my family. He wasn’t just my best friend – he was America’s best friend ❤️

After touring storm damage in Valdosta, I joined @BradMeansWJBF and Augusta’s @WJBF team to talk about our response in the CSRA. We’ve got resources on the ground and more on the way!

Marty and I joined local and state officials in Augusta today to tour damage from Helene and provide an update on the ongoing disaster response in the CSRA area. I reiterated that we will not waver in helping Georgians recover from this storm across all affected areas.
