Trump 8 days ago fired 400 FAA officials and 3,000 air traffic controllers. As a result, plane crashes happen like last night.

Vote Yes on Amendment4 Florida!
Congratulations to the @yes4florida campaign for getting over 1.4M signatures to get us to this moment. Florida voters are the last line of defense for reproductive rights in the south.
Vote #YesOn4 this November!

This cannot pass. I don’t think DeSantis would even approve this. He benefitted largely from vote by mail.
🚨 WOW. They’re actually doing it.
Republicans have introduced legislation to eliminate vote-by-mail in Florida as we know it for nearly everyone, with narrow exceptions like for people with disabilities and folks living overseas.
This level of voter suppression is CRIMINAL.

Visited the famous banyan tree two times on my life in the last 20 years and it is sad what the fire has done to it.
The iconic banyan tree on Front Street is deeply damaged, but still standing.
After speaking with the arborist working on the tree, I’m optimistic that it will bloom again - serving as a symbol of hope amid so much devastation.

Congrats to @USFAgingStudies researchers on their work published in the journal @StrokeAHA_ASA with findings of fewer daily activities and more depressive symptoms. Social and mental health needs are important for stroke survivors.
Among 898 individuals with incident #stroke from the Health and Retirement Study, social connection & engagement were associated with fewer activities of daily living limitations & depressive symptoms at the time of stroke & after stroke. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/… @USFAgingStudies
Go Bulls!
Today marks a historic milestone for @USouthFlorida — we have accepted an invitation to join @AAUniversities, a prestigious group of leading research universities in the U.S. and Canada. It’s a terrific day for the #USF community, and I couldn’t be more proud of my alma mater.

This is so wrong. #momsdemandaction
I am away on vacation and learning the details of what happened to my brother @manueloliver00. I am horrified. @RepPatFallon, you despicable waste of oxygen. How dare you incite this violence against Manny and how dare you insult him. An apology is not necessary. RESIGN!!!

Dangerous #DeSantisDestroysFlorida and higher education #HB999
This is serious.
HB 999 shifts control higher ed towards Ron DeSantis, effectively eliminates tenure, + ABOLISHES womens/gender studies degrees and DEI initiatives while allowing political appointees to rewrite mission statements at all 12 public universities.
Wake up, Florida!
