I love my Gov.
This reminds me of the attempted nonsense by the FL House in January 2025.
The Governor won that one, too, because he is with the people.
I donโt think people realize how monumental this is.
Itโs easy for me to call a spade a spade, Iโm not in politics.
For Americaโs governor to drop the hammer on these bogus proceedings is downright legendary.
Thatโs why the people love him!

As someone whoโs been singing the National Anthem at rodeo events for over 20 years, Iโll just sayโฆ.
Thereโs a way it was intended to be sung, without your own spin. This was ๐ฏthe way! Bravo!

For the record, none of the rank and file RPOF members has had any vote or say in the RPOFโs plans in the 2026 Showdown. ๐
The 2022 event under Chairman Joe Gruters had several debates topped off with a dinner where the GOAT Governor was the keynote speaker. ๐

๐จNOW: Gov. Ron DeSantis pushes back on Florida GOP debate restrictions, saying party officials shouldn't decide who gets on stage.
@GovRonDeSantis: "I wouldn't have qualified in 2018. It's counterproductive when you try to engineer an outcome."

My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:
Do not fear losing. โYou will lose,โ Musk says. โIt will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.โ You will be more fearless, take more risks.

FL's @GovRonDeSantis criticizes the @FloridaGOP's debate criteria, saying the party should not โengineer an outcomeโ in the governorโs primary:
โThere should be a debate... having an open process and having people be able to have their say is always better.โ

Inbox: the @FloridaGOP says only @ByronDonalds has qualified for their "Sunshine State Showdown" gubernatorial debate later this month. Qualifications, according to the party:

Have raised over $10 million.
Secure more than 10,000 donors.

Governor Ron DeSantis didn't appoint me because I was the safest choice.
He appointed me because he knew I'd fight for Florida's families, stand up for our values, and get results.
I've spent my life serving this country. Now I'm focused on serving the people of Florida.
Let's keep Florida moving forward.

Heck of a diving catch by Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt.
It should surprise no one that Republicans are better than Democrats at baseball.

WATCH: @GovRonDeSantis pushed back on critics warning about property tax relief impacting public safety, dismissing the argument as fear-mongering.
โDo you honestly believe we're just not going to have police? I mean, come on, seriously."
He argued that similar claims have been made in past fiscal debates and havenโt played out in reality.

Florida has become the blueprint for fiscal responsibility.
We cut the state debt in half, and since I became Attorney General, weโve brought in almost $1 billion for Florida taxpayers through legal judgments, settlements, and recovery of stolen funds.
Under the leadership of @GovRonDeSantis, we have cut Floridaโs debt in half.
Thatโs $8.8 billion dollars paid down since 2018! Nothing short of historic.

I completely missed the earthquake today. I was in Winter Springs when it happened.
Fortunately Iโve never felt an earthquake.
To me that has to be one of the most horrifying experiences for the ground to shake beneath oneโs feet.
Who felt it? What was it like?

Governor @ronDeSantis: End insider trading by members of Congress.
๐จGovernor DeSantis BLASTS corrupt Congressman Byron Donalds for insider trading! Says the Founding Fathers would be shaking their heads!
We've worked with different people in Congress to try to get a ban on this insider trading in Congress. I think the Founding Fathers would look at some of that and I think they'd just be shaking their heads if they saw what was going on.
You're in the greatest nation in the history of the world. You are in a nation, I believe, that was blessed by God to serve this purpose in the world as the last best hope on earth. And you are in a position in the United States Congress, which look, it's not always performs up to a great level, but it's still an august institution in our government and you decide to do that. You know, that is not right!
That's NOT what you should be doing. So that's one of the reasons why I think you need TERM LIMITS for members of Congress. I think that would be very helpful.โ

You can thank @Daniel_PerezFL, who Trump just rewarded with an ambassadorship.
Draw your own conclusions and understand that Trump's endorsements in Florida might not be for our benefit but to end DeSantis' influence on policy.

The FL Senate passed a medical freedom bill that did that, but the FL House refused to take it up. So it never made it to my desk. I was ready to sign it.

As Iโve been saying for weeks, itโs a 2 man race for Florida GOP Governor nomination.
Would love to see a debate between these two at the RPOFโs โShowdown.โ

Uh, the Legislature put a measure on the ballot. It wasnโt โsignedโ by me because it does not require the approval of the governor per the Florida Constitution.
In fact, the Legislatureโs measure is different from my proposal in significant respects (ie, it doesnโt provide for the elimination of taxes on homesteads and it doesnโt create a fund to provide state grants to local governments to assist with core services as homestead taxes are phased out).
That said, the proposal will increase constitutional protection against taxes for homestead properties and will be the biggest property tax cut in Florida history.
Floridians looking for help with affordability will have a great opportunity to vote for it.
Florida voters will decide in November whether to approve the sweeping property tax overhaul signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis โ and one county commissioner wants residents to understand whatโs at stake.
