THANK YOU FLORIDA! I am humbled and grateful beyond measure. As your Governor, I will give you everything I have.  We are going to make life in Florida more affordable. We are going to keep our streets safe. We are going to invest in our young people so that they can attain the Florida Dream that all of us love so dearly. Florida is the envy of the nation. I will fight day and night to keep it that way and to lift our state to even greater heights. God Bless you, God Bless Florida, and God Bless America.

It was great to spend election eve with two friends who I admire greatly - @ErikaDonalds and @ByronDonalds Like most elections, I supported Democrats, Republicans and Independents running for office this year. But this one is personal. Byron was one of only three elected Florida Republicans who publicly supported the passage of Amendment 4 in 2018, which ended the lifetime ban on voting for more than a million people with felony convictions - people like me. In 2020, after my ability to vote was restored, the first person I voted for was Byron, who was running for Congress in our local Republican primary. He won. And now six years later, I got to vote for Byron again. This time for Governor. I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to vote and have my voice heard, and I encourage everyone to get out there and vote today - no matter who you support. #democracyworks #electionday #govote #America @MrPurdon @HudJr

We'll probably never see anything quite like this again in our history… The best music video ever made, ahead of its time. If you have a few minutes, check it out. You won't regret it. Michael Jackson - Thriller (1983)

🚨🚨HEARTWARMING UPDATE🚨🚨 Former #NFL defensive end Devon Still broke down in tears after seeing his daughter Leah working her FIRST JOB at Chick-fil-A this week. Leah was diagnosed with cancer as a young child and underwent chemotherapy. During her treatments, she rarely wanted to eat anything unless it was Chick-fil-A. Now, 12 years later, Leah is cancer-free and has started her first job at the very restaurant that helped her get through those difficult days. Devon shared that he pulled up to pick her up from work and saw her helping a customer. He immediately became emotional. “Now I’m sitting in the car with tears pouring down my face.” Still also revealed that doctors once told him how far Leah’s cancer had spread, and he began accepting the possibility that she might not survive. “To go from that to this, I can’t explain what I’m feeling. Just know I’m grateful.” Leah still orders the exact same Chick-fil-A meal she loved during chemotherapy. THIS IS WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT. ❤️🙏🥹
WHOLESOME: When former #NFL defensive end Devon Still gave his daughter Leah a legendary pep talk before her cancer treatment. Leah has been cancer-free for 10 years now. ❤️🙏🥹

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work. My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

At least 5–6 true freshmen from Southern California (SoCal high school or hometown) are in position to play or contribute in the Oct. 31 Ohio State at USC game. Here’s the main group: Ohio State • Luke Fahey (QB) — Mission Viejo (CA). The expected starter with Julian Sayin out. • Chris Henry Jr. (WR) — Played at Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA). True freshman who has already seen action. • Khary Wilder (DE) — Gardena (CA) / Junípero Serra. True freshman who has appeared in games this season (rotational/spot duty). USC • Kayden Dixon-Wyatt (WR) — Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA). One of the Trojans’ top targets as a true freshman. • Trent Mosley (WR) — Santa Margarita / Rancho Santa Margarita (CA). Big early contributor who returned from a knee injury. • Mark Bowman (TE) — Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA). Started and produced early; dealing with an injury but the bye should help him be available. USC also has other true freshmen from the Mater Dei/Trinity League pipeline (e.g., Tomuhini Topui on the defensive line) who could see snaps.
