This week's episode of "Interesting Times" is a conversation with Ben Sasse, who is dying in public: nytimes.com/2026/04/09/opini…

Important conversations take flight at #FLPoly. State Rep. @JenniferCanady_ joined Justin Shore with Wing and Chief Murray for a panel on drone technology, privacy, and safety as part of our Fantastic Forces: Elements in Action series. 💜floridapoly.edu/news/040825-…

Teacher unions are again using children as pawns to carry out their radical political agenda. Their actions could result in lasting consequences for a student’s educational record—yet they are willing to put politics above what is best for students. I’ve been in communication with superintendents throughout the state who have confirmed that discipline is forthcoming for dozens of students. It’s baffling how such a nefarious organization that commits fraud, files frivolous lawsuits and encourages chaos in schools, still remains in existence.

In honor of George Washington’s birthday and @America250FL, Florida State Parks will offer free admission from Feb. 13 through Feb. 16, so you can experience the landscapes that shaped the nation’s earliest chapters. You may not realize it, but San Marcos de Apalache Historic State Park, Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park and more #FLStateParks have significant ties to the Revolutionary War era. Free admission applies to day-use only and excludes Skyway Fishing Pier State Park and Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park. All other fees, including overnight accommodations, special events, concessions and rentals from park vendors, will remain in effect.    *** 📍: Fort Clinch Historic State Park 📸: Courtesy of Florida Memory, 1794 💡: Plan your adventure at FloridaStateParks.org.

Ken Griffin, Stephen Ross bankroll $10M campaign to attract other CEOs to South Florida: ‘Only place a founder can scale’ nypost.com/2026/02/02/busine…

What I liked about @JosieTomkow from this past weekend is that instead of using the #Gasparilla parade as an excuse to kinda sorta take the weekend off (a lot of pols do this), she was still out there walking door-to-door ahead of the Special Election.

"The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attack in Australia targeting a Jewish celebration. Antisemitism has no place in this world. Our prayers are with the victims of this horrific attack, the Jewish community, and the people of Australia.
