🧵@davidjollyfl just picked @GwenGraham as his running mate in the Florida governor's race. A lot of people will cover the obvious stuff. Here's the strategic read #FlaPol #FlaGov:

Resistance people are amazing. Yeah, how would I know how SuperPAC's operate? (Also, you can just Google it)

On Wednesday, David Jolly, the frontrunner to be the Democratic nominee for Florida Governor, announced Gwen Graham would be his running mate Gwen, the daughter of Governor/Senator Bob Graham, came on the scene when she flipped the GOP-held #FL02 in the 2014 midterms #flapol

A UFC fight on the White House lawn for his birthday is the single most accurate piece of self-portraiture this man has ever produced. The cage. The lawn. The ego. It's all there.

On 14 June 1775, the men of the Continental Army stepped forward without knowing whether they would be remembered as patriots or traitors. 251 years later, Citizen Soldiers still answer the call. Happy Birthday, U.S. Army.

Having worked for several women who ran for high profile office, things I heard in those races & never working for a male candidate: *Can you get her to modulate her voice - her tone is distracting *Tell her the old hair style is better *Tell her to stop wearing (—-) color

25 years ago on my first mission to space, we carried American flags representing the victims of 9/11. Even in the darkest of times, our flag is a symbol of hope and freedom. I’m proud to have worn it on my shoulder in the Navy and at NASA. Happy Flag Day.

Former mayors say Florida property tax proposal is misleading in new lawsuit miamiherald.com/news/politic…

This UFC event is a national policy failure. Let’s be real. The entire world is watching the #FIFAWorldCup and instead of maximizing that moment, the Trump admin created a competing, lesser event. Clear mismanagement, costing American revenue, prestige, and global leadership. Sad

.@J_Fishback calling @ByronDonalds a "slave" is one of the ugliest moments I can remember in Florida politics. Save your whataboutism; I know there have been uglier, violent moments, but every decent Republican should condemn this behavior.

BREAKING: Iran directly rejects Trump's new claim of a deal being signed tomorrow, saying the insistence on signing the deal on specifically Sunday is engineered around his own birthday, calling it a "propaganda event" that Trump is trying to turn into a unilateral "symbolic occasion" for himself, along with his UFC White House event, per Fars. The Iranian negotiating team says it "will not permit such a media and ceremonial manoeuvre," explicitly stating that the memorandum of understanding has not been finalized and no signing will happen.

“Oh Balogun is just playing for the U.S. because he couldn’t make the England squad”…Folks, that is the entire promise of our nation. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. And then we’ll beat your ass with them.

Gov. DeSantis says @EvanPower is “insulting the intelligence” of GOP voters in Florida

This is seriously the cringiest collapse of a nation in real time.

This started as a tax debate. It isn’t anymore. For months, we’ve argued about whether property taxes are too high, whether homeowners deserve relief, and whether local governments have grown too comfortable with rising property values. Those are fair questions. But the state’s own Revenue Estimating Conference now projects roughly $11.9 billion in recurring reductions to local government revenue. That shifts the conversation. Because governments that cannot fund themselves eventually have to ask someone else to do it. And when that happens, the debate is no longer about taxes. It’s about who makes the decisions. Who decides whether a sheriff’s budget grows? Who decides whether a fire station stays open? Who decides whether a county can pave roads, maintain parks, or expand services? Today, those decisions are made locally. Tomorrow, they may depend on annual decisions made hundreds of miles away in Tallahassee. Supporters see tax relief. Critics see budget cuts. Both may be missing the bigger story. This isn’t really a debate about taxes anymore. It’s a debate about governance.

Breaking news: President Trump’s name is off the Kennedy Center. The building’s exterior reads “The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts” once more. wapo.st/4fDvtWg

So weird that the outdoor UFC event at the Lincoln Memorial didn't seem to be impacted by the storms.

I am constantly amazed by the success of this thing that Sarah, Tim, and JVL have built and am happy to play a small part in it. (I mean, yes, half of those million sign ups were for the movie reviews, but I try to stay humble.) wsj.com/business/media/the-b…

An ego so fragile that the removal had to be hidden behind a curtain.
