Look at what God could do with Mother Benson’s boy from Yellow Elder. Everything I am, is all thanks to Him. And now, Bahamas, everything I do is for you.

It’s not the length of your life that matters most, it’s the impact you make and the way you use it. These are just some of the words I used to encourage the families and friends of the five young people we lost to a fatal traffic accident just days ago.

Thinking of Biminites today. I can only imagine what families are feeling, seeing what took years to build disappear in hours. Thank you to the first responders and all residents who fought the flames. You showed that Bahamians always turn to each other during difficult times. 🙏🏾

Let me say this as nicely as I can.

I read the Prime Minister’s comments in the Guardian today. He’s not telling the full truth. Just so we’re clear, raising salaries for Members of Parliament was his idea. He wanted us in the Opposition to agree. The answer is a hard no.

To every other dad wondering, "Where did the time go?" or "When did they get taller than me?" — Happy Father's Day. Make sure to celebrate the people who gave you the privilege of experiencing one of life's greatest pleasures.

They found money to employ: ✅ New ministers, with all the benefits and perks (the most EVER) ✅ Possibly 3/4 of the media industry ✅ Endless consultants ✅ Political trolls Where is that energy for young men and women over the hill?

We are not the official agreers, cooperators, compliers, complementors, or comforters. We are the Official Opposition, and we'll oppose when necessary. #2026BudgetDebate

Don't let this budget distract you from the fact that the Minister of Finance lied in your face. Why Halkitis got to go: in 60 seconds.

Marco City, your say matters. Join your Member of Parliament for a community Town Hall Meeting as we discuss the 2026/27 Budget and hear directly from the people who matter most — you. Come ready to speak. Come ready to listen. Most importantly, come ready to be heard.

For years, I've urged the government to stop doing business with known criminals.

Today, we begin our assignment as the Official Opposition of our beautiful Bahamaland. We sought a different role, but the people assigned us this one, and in a democracy, they are the deciders. We will do our job, opposing when necessary and supporting when appropriate.

I especially thank my wife, my family, my friends, and the prayer warriors nationally for their support. May God continue to guide our country.

When I'm looking for inspiration, I think of my own daughter, Micaela. I want to leave her a better country than the one I grew up in. When you go in that booth, think about who's counting on you to make the right choice.

While the rallies are fun, many of you have told me you wish politicians spent more time talking about their vision. I couldn't agree more. Since Davis won't debate me live, I want to personally walk you through the FNM plan. Just you and me. 5pm. This evening. Tune in.

This Tuesday, remember what they did with your money while our country fell apart.

Sounds too low to me. We plan to more than double it, and explode possibilities in the orange economy so that anyone can make their passion pay their bills. It's a big part of how we can diversify the economy.
I know one ting, if Pintard win I ga need to see them orange economy grants doubled.
