After two decades in politics, it was fitting to say farewell from a rum bar. To my family, friends, and city team in attendance, thank you! I raise my glass to each of you, to the progress we made, and to the Sunshine City's brightest future. Cheers, St. Pete! ☀️

After listing to this debate and the fact checked failure answers of Donald Trump, the writers of Politifact are going to need to sleep for weeks.

Hey TNT, how about hiring an announcer crew who aren't biased for the home team. You're not the Rangers network. #GoBolts

It's amazing how stupid corporations can be. @Disney had so much support from Floridians for their fight with DeSantis, and in one dumb move, blacking out the first Gator game of the year on Spectrum, they probably lost all their good will. Fire that decision-maker.

12yrs ago today: “While private developers may be eager to donate land for a new park, there’s no financial gain to be had from building the actual stadium for a team.”

Ok. I get it. You don't want the game decided by a penalty. But when a high stick is that obvious, do your job. Call the penalty. Ridiculous

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400 days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

Happy #MLKDay2023! I always loved this day as mayor...the breakfast that brought us together...the energy from those along the parade route...the service activities in our community. St. Pete always honors MLK well. I hope 2023 has been a good one for everyone so far!

A win by the Gators would've been a huge upset, but the odds were even worse with officiating like occurred today. SEC should be ashamed.

At least we know why Fetterman was having speech issues, what's this guy's excuse???
The people piling on Fetterman for speech delivery issues (following a stroke) still want to put this guy back in the White House:

Kai Warren was a super citizen in St. Pete, a neighborhood leader, longtime preservationist, volunteer, member of our pier selection committee (look for his name engraved there), and friend. I was thankful for his support throughout the years. My condolences to all who loved him.

This is what happens when you bring people together and work to realize a clear vision. We did it, St. Pete. ☀️
Our very own @StPetePier has been selected as one of 6 winners of the prestigious 2022 Global Awards for Excellence! This top honor puts our Pier on the map as a world class destination. Thank you to the entire @StPeteFL team, community partners…(1/2)americas.uli.org/global-awar…

“What @SenRickScott did, what @CharlieCrist did, was pick up the phone, call the community and the mayors at risk..."
As DeSantis prepares Floridians for Ian, he is urging residents to heed advice from the same local leaders he suggested they ignore during COVID and praising a federal agency he previously alleged withheld aid to the state bc Biden was playing politics. cnn.com/2022/09/28/politics/…
