This session, FL Dems worked to pass legislation to make life more affordable. Republicans wouldn’t let it happen. This year, we have an opportunity to break the GOP’s legislative supermajorities and stop their stranglehold on power. Let’s get it done. bit.ly/4bKsgki

We talked about affordability. We talked about government focusing on THE PEOPLE. But unfortunately... "Democrats rolled out proposals targeting insurance costs, housing affordability & government spending — but none cleared a single chamber." floridapolitics.com/archives/78534…

Asked whether lawmakers could still call the year successful, Sen. Don Gaetz (R-Pensacola) was blunt: “Absolutely not. When I go home to Northwest Florida…the first thing I’ll do is apologize.” tampabay28.com/news/state/flo…

Fla House on the morning of Day 59 is showing a video ahead of farewell remarks from House Speaker @Daniel_PerezFL - in the video several House members keep talking about "taking back the House." The GOP has held control since the 90s ...

I know some lawmakers don’t care about the effects of daylight saving time on people’s wellbeing, but have you considered how distressing this is for dogs who don’t know why their walks & meals are wrong? I know y’all care about pets. Do it for the dogs. End Daylight Saving Time.

Unelected @AGJamesUthmeier doesn’t know the difference between @TheFlaBar and the Florida Board of Bar Examiners. The Florida Board of Bar Examiners is an agency of the Florida Supreme Court, which @GovRonDeSantis has largely appointed… floridabarexam.org
Attorney General James Uthmeier@AGJamesUthmeier

Last week, the Florida Bar was handing out tampons in the men’s restroom during the bar exam. They're not a politically-impartial institution. It’s time to end partisan law-fare and reevaluate the need for a unified Florida Bar.

Internal emails reviewed by the Herald/Times show that Uthmeier began teaching at UF’s Levin College of Law more than a month before his first course was formally approved, submitted incomplete syllabi and never received the full faculty sign-off required. miamiherald.com/news/politics-…

I also should have pointed out that the organization that develops and administers the state's bar exam is not The Florida Bar, but rather the Florida Board of Bar Examiners, a separate body. Both, however, are administrative agencies of the Supreme Court of Florida (@flcourts).
Jim Rosica@JimRosicaFL

As I have long expected, the conservative establishment's antipathy toward @TheFlaBar is about to go from a cold war to a hot conflict. The question is how. And what's the alternative?

Just thinking for no particular reason how the Florida Board of Bar Examiners administers the Bar exam, and how they are a different entity with a different structure than The Florida Bar, and how both these entities operate under the control of the Florida Supreme Court.

$2400 per person per day. That’s twice what a room at the Fontainbleau Hotel in Miami costs right now. What an absolute waste of our tax dollars.

"At one point, the state estimated the Everglades facility’s 'daily burn' rate – how much cash it cost on a daily basis to support 500 detainees – was more than $1.2 million a day." #DefendDemocracy floridatrib.org/2026/03/01/new…

From earlier Monday: In an open letter to the law school community, @FSULawDean Erin O'Hara O'Connor announced she was stepping down as dean of @FSUCollegeofLaw but would remain as a tenured faculty member. She gave no reason but said she'll stay dean till new one is found.
