#HurricaneHelene is hours away. If you live in the area, you MUST be hunkered down by now. Pray for no loss of life and minimal damage. After the storm, we will work together to help each other recover and rebuild. Stay safe everyone, and God bless! #LeonReady #Tallahassee

Proposing to my girlfriend @JLoweMinor at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Fortunately, she said yes! We've been happily married for 15 years now and have two amazing daughters. I love you, Jess! Happy engagement anniversary! #DNC #DNC2024 #DNCConvention2024

80 years ago, American and Allied forces stormed the shores of Normandy and bravely fought to defend us against tyranny and pure evil. Today, we honor the service members who saved the world and sacrificed for our liberty and prosperity.

It seems that so many wonderful people are leaving this world, and now Jimmy Buffett is one of them. I’ve known Jimmy for some time and found him to be one of the kindest and most generous people.  I remember once on holiday when I had forgotten to bring my guitar and was itching to play. He said he would get me one of his, but I said, ‘I’m left-handed’. So, Jimmy had his roadie restring one of his guitars which he loaned me for the duration of the holiday. He then followed this act of generosity by giving me my own beautiful left-handed guitar that had been made by one of his guitar-making pals. It’s a beautiful instrument, and every time I play it now it’ll remind me of what a great man Jimmy was.  He had a most amazing lust for life and a beautiful sense of humour. When we swapped tales about the past his were so exotic and lush and involved sailing trips and surfing and so many exciting stories that it was hard for me to keep up with him.  Right up to the last minute his eyes still twinkled with a humour that said, ‘I love this world and I’m going to enjoy every minute of it’.  So many of us will miss Jimmy and his tremendous personality. His love for us all, and for mankind as a whole.  Last, but not least, is his songwriting and vocal ability. If someone made an interesting remark he repeated it in his gorgeous Louisiana drawl and said, ‘That’s a good idea for a song’. Most times it didn’t take too long for that song to appear. I was very happy to have played on one of his latest songs called ‘My Gummy Just Kicked In’. We had a real fun session and he played me some of his new songs. One, in particular, I loved was the song, ‘Bubbles Up’. And I told him that not only was the song great but the vocal was probably the best I’ve heard him sing ever. He turned a diving phrase that is used to train people underwater into a metaphor for life when you’re confused and don’t know where you are just follow the bubbles - they’ll take you up to the surface and straighten you out right away.  So long, Jim. You are a very special man and friend and it was a great privilege to get to know you and love you. Bubbles up, my friend.  Love, Paul

We can’t duck and cover when someone faces an ideologically-motivated attack. Based on my reading of the situation, @LeonSchools Superintendent Rocky Hanna acted with integrity and in accordance with the values of the majority of Leon County’s voters. (1 of 2)

These types of “investigations” evoke the worst excesses of 1950s McCarthyism. We can disagree about policy, but none of us should accept this type of retaliatory bullying from our state government. It’s undemocratic. The State of Florida can – and must – do better. (2 of 2)

If the near-total #abortion law is upheld, our wives, our daughters & others we love will lose their reproductive freedom. This is wrong, and we must continue to speak out and vote for candidates that stand up for reproductive rights. @Florida_NOW @PPActionFL @OccupyTally23

What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.

At the @UFInnovate/#SidMartin Biotech Incubator in #Alachua, 100 startup companies have raised more than $9.3B and have created 8,000 jobs. When we visualize success for #Tallahassee's North Florida Innovation Labs, it looks a lot like this! @OEVforBusiness @TalChamber @MyBBMC
