- Florida @GovRonDeSantis wants to resurrect the Florida State Guard, a paramilitary force disbanded in 1947. Unlike the @FLGuard, the FSG will answer solely to the Governor. No federal deployments. No federal missions. No federal dollars.
- Florida Department of State to DOJ: “federal election ‘monitors’ are not permitted inside polling places as it would be counterproductive and could potentially undermine confidence in the election.”
- A popular area on FSU campus, all that’s left on Landis Green are personal belongings - shoes, laptops, half finished meals.
- News: @FLSurgeonGen Joseph Ladapo saved a man’s life at the Capitol. The man Tuesday morning suffered a cardiac event in the Capitol Courtyard. Ladapo rushed over, performed chest compressions and stabilized the man using a defibrillator.

- Hat tip to Florida’s local newsrooms. Without ‘em, no one’s talking: • Ben Sasse’s spending at UF. • Rep. Carolina Amnesty’s alleged forgery. • The DeSantis Administration’s ‘Great Outdoors Initiative.’
- Replying to @JasonDelgadoXQuick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz.
- Replying to @JasonDelgadoXDeSantis wants the civilian volunteer force around 200 members. They'll assist the National Guard in hurricanes, natural disasters and other state-specific emergencies. The upside, DeSantis says: they're "not encumbered by the federal government."
- It’s hard to put a number on crowd size. But this angle offers some perspective. #Tallahassee #BlackLivesMatter
00:00 - Personal news: Today is my final day at Florida Politics. I’ll be joining @USATODAY-Florida later this month as the statewide breaking news reporter covering politics and more.
