There’s a ton of EVs disabled from Ian. As those batteries corrode, fires start. That’s a new challenge that our firefighters haven’t faced before. At least on this kind of scale.
#HurricaneIan
The IRS will raise at least $20 billion in new tax revenues from the middle class, thanks to the bill Congress passed on Friday. That’s from the CBO. It’s a shakedown. Did anyone send their elected members to Washington to shakedown the middle class? I didn’t.
Looks like the IRS is willing to move their reporting requirement from a $600 to $10K threshold. Ok then. If the Biden Administration thinks moving the reporting threshold by a few thousand dollars changes anything – then he really is disconnected from normal people. (1/6)🧵

sent the illegal immigrants to Missouri. It’s cause Martha’s Vineyard is sacred territory for the left / major media types. Think we’ll see Sunday show hosts describe in great detail what Martha’s Vineyard is like, and it’ll be telling.
This is gross and despicable. New York is about to lose way more money than that because of you. There was no victim and you still went after Trump. If you’re a company looking to get away from this nightmare, move to Florida. Contact my office.

Hey

Some people don’t like the direction the Republican Party is headed. They want to stay behind gated communities having academic talks over fancy meals; pretend there’s no culture war and ignore the working class. Those people should follow Romney and exit stage Left.

Let me be very clear: Florida’s not going to comply with this absurd government overreach. If our elected leaders in Washington fail us – and this becomes law – Florida is not going to comply and we’re going to court. (5/6)
If you’re ever at a dinner party and the host starts talking about being a “global citizen” - grab your coat, get your family, and leave immediately. They’re in a cult.
He supposedly is trying to shake down billionaires and fight fraud, but he wants to go after middle class bank accounts and small businesses? He’s lying. The entire administration is lying. And they know they’re lying. (2/6)
Just so we’re clear, the Inflation Reduction Act didn’t reduce inflation. Based on today's CPI report, inflation is UP. However, what Biden's law did do is create an army of 87,000 IRS personnel to go after small businesses in Florida. Apparently, Washington needs more money...

Until then we’ll keep fighting, and fighting, until this Orwell-like packet of garbage is sent back to the bottom drawer of some bureaucrat’s basement at the U.S. Treasury – where it belongs. (6/6)
The IRS targeted the Tea Party in 2013. Now they’re getting 87,000 new agents. The IRS is a political wing of Biden and cannot be trusted. That’s why one of my proposals forces certain IRS agents to be licensed. If they repeat what they did to the Tea Party, we’ll prosecute them.

They’re trying to spend trillions, upon trillions of dollars, and they need hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to look at the cameras and say with a straight face – it will cost taxpayers nothing – which is a lie. (3/6)
This proposal is the biggest shakedown of the middle class that’s ever been publicly aired as a policy idea. To think that ole Joe from Scranton thinks going to war with the middle class is smart is really telling of what the elite on Capitol Hill think they can get away w/ (4/6)
Day-by-day the federal government is supercharging the IRS. They’re hiring staff, acquiring technology, and gaining access to smaller transactions on apps. They’re not targeting big business; the IRS is going after smaller businesses and the middle class. States must fight back!
When they went to bed last night many of these heroes didn’t know they’d be up at 1 AM putting their own lives in danger to save others. BUT it’s these kinds of emergencies they constantly train for. God bless Florida’s firefighters!

Today, we released bill text so Florida can fight back against the IRS. I’ve always said transparency is the best disinfectant, so we’ll have state chartered banks report when the IRS is engaging them. The info will help us fight IRS targeting. READ HERE:
You’re not an elected official anymore. You’re a full time Twitter troll. I represent 20 M + Floridians, MANY of which are supporters of Israel. There’s ZERO accountability from Washington.
You are being an incredibly irresponsible elected official. This is a time to unite our country and the world not throw BS out when you have ZERO knowledge in this moment. Stop being a political hack.

Unfortunately, there’s a science experiment taking place in Florida with EVs and salty storm surge waters post-Ian. Saltwater can cause EVs to combust after exposure. It’s something government and the private sector needs to know for disaster planning.
This is leadership. This is Florida. The Rule of Law matters here. The Constitution matters here. We’re not some drug infested, crime ridden banana republic like New York.
The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head.
It is un-American.
The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is…
Something I like about
@GovRonDeSantis
’s approach to govt is how he makes life easier for residents who are just trying to get by. Whether it’s first responder bonuses, gas tax cut or toll credits, he’s providing real relief directly to people (without building massive programs).
When you go to bed tonight, say a prayer for the victims of Hurricane Ian. There are people going to bed without power, or even people who can’t get in contact with a loved one. As the winds leave Southwest FL, Urban Search & Rescue teams will deploy at first light. 🙏🇺🇸
Florida 100%, unequivocally stands with the people of Israel. Evil is real. Innocent people died at the hands of radical Islam. The United States must fully back Israel’s efforts to protect its people. I pray for those lost souls and the families left grieving. 🇮🇱 🇺🇸

With the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” expected to pass this week, Floridians should be aware of a couple of things. First, whenever Congress names a bill, that bill will do the OPPOSITE of what it says it will do. Think the "Affordable Health Care Act." (1/7) 🧵

Today, Florida made a historic declaration of our broad and deep support for Israel. Our great state stands with our ally in the Middle East and we sent that clear message to the world. We value our relationship with our ally and economic partner.
If you’re a CEO of a large corporation - now is a good time to shutdown your woke department. The asset managers who are compelling your business to go woke won’t be there to save you when customers leave. A bad economy is coming and your board will make an example out of YOU.
Was this really necessary? The federal government just scared 70%+ of American with this alert. This is way too much Federal Government for me. FM/AM radio and Broadcast TV is plenty to get your alerts out.

We’ve got five more Urban Search and Rescue Teams headed to Florida. So we’ll have 16 teams total = 1,075 team members working the Ian mission. Add other firefighters, that’s over 1,300 personnel. It’s an unprecedented response.

On Friday Congress passed a bill that diverts hundreds of billions in taxpayer money to “Green” companies and increased taxes on America’s domestic energy sector. They also spent $80 billion on the IRS to shakedown Americans to the tune of $200 billion. Also: we’re in a recession
Patricia, I have been in the restaurant business my entire life. Trust me, it is TOUGH for small business owners to make it. Liberal Hollywood wants to tax Florida, give the money to “Green” businesses in California, then create an army of IRS Stormtroopers. I’m not shutting up!
Hearing rumors
