SCOOP: After two public court hearings, a Florida judge has issued a restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills for "protection against dating violence." Mills's ex-girlfriend filed for the injunction in August, alleging sextortion & violent threats. More TK from the decision.

I’m humbled by the trust of my colleagues to serve as the next President of the Florida Senate. Today, I was surrounded by the love and support of my family, friends, colleagues and staff as I was officially designated President-Designate. x.com/FLSenate/statu…

One would think if someone thought these texts were actually brilliant discourse, they would be happy the conversation got leaked.

Chatter in Democratic circles on Capitol Hill isn't so much about whether the Florida Legislature will try and screw House Ds out of seats but which incumbents may be forced to run against one another. This could all get very ugly for a caucus already reduced to 8 of 28 seats.

This step was taken by the only Defense Secretary in American history to accidentally share details of a pending military strike with a journalist on an insecure Signal chat.

Today Sen. Cory Booker blocked passage of my bipartisan bill to rename the street outside of Cuba's embassy in D.C. as “Oswaldo Payá Way," which is designed to confront the Cuban regime with the legacy of Payá, a dissident who they murdered because he advocated freedom. I am saddened

ICYMI: New StPete Polls out showing that the GOP Primary for Guv, presuming Collins is in, would be a blow-out for Byron Donalds.

Of all the stupid shit this knucklehead has ever said, this takes the cake. Not gonna even mention how a lack of insurance would have bankrupted our family when my wife spent 16 days in an ICU. How about when his wife battled cancer? How does he think that was paid for?

A response of sorts to my interview with Rep. Frederica Wilson on concerns Miami-Dade is the epicenter of a coming ACA expiration crisis. Mario Díaz-Balart says compromise might be reached if Senate Dems just vote to reopen the government. Also, Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez supports a bill to extend subsidies a year.
