"Democrats believe Florida could again be competitive in this year's elections due to a more favorable national environment fueled by Trump's faltering national approval rating and a potential reversion among Hispanic and Latino voters." #Florida #Floridavoters

"Florida is the only state in the nation removing children from its low-cost health insurance program, KidCare, because of missed payments. It removed about 43,000 children from December 2024 to November 2025." #Florida #KidCare #healthcare #badleadership #morallywrong

"The service, a sort of chatbot for doctors, was used by about 65% of U.S. doctors across almost 27 million clinical encounters in April alone, the company told NBC News." #medicalfield #doctors

Sigh ... #socialsecurity

#Colbert and #Letterman toss furniture off the roof at #CBS studios during Letterman's May 14 visit. @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

"I thought maybe tonight's occasion would be a little sad, being the end of your run here, but this brings true joy to my heart," Letterman said. "We are up here for the wanton destruction of CBS property." @colbertlateshow.bsky.social #Letterman #CBS

Thank you for making this poachable, @kaplanikids.bsky.social ! 💜

#Memphis rocks.

"May 19, Colbert will welcome Jon Stewart & Steven Spielberg & Colbert himself will take the stage w/a musical performance feat. #DavidByrne. May 20, Colbert will be the subject of his own "Colbert Questionert," featuring unnamed guests/a performance by #Springsteen." @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

True story. And a sad one at that. Our sad one.

True story. Sigh ...

"His arrival was mocked across China online and state censors have been allowing comments to go viral. 'Internet memes and posts are hardly behind Trump’s back. They’re mocking him where he’s most likely to see it,' he said." #Chinavisit

So many lives taken, imperiled and destroyed by this administration. Families shattered. We'll never know even a fraction of it. #humanitymatters

Peace Officers Memorial Day 2026 is Friday, May 15, 2026, honoring federal, state, and local law enforcement officers who died or were disabled in the line of duty. As part of National Police Week (May 10–16, 2026), flags are flown at half-staff. #PeaceOfficersMemorialDay #NationalPoliceWeek

True story. #Plants are my friends. And animals. And #nature. And #music. And #books. Kinda fond of food too. 🌴

"Some older billionaires, like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, have long supported taxes on the superrich as a civic responsibility. Many younger, libertarian-leaning tech entrepreneurs doubt government’s ability to solve problems and believe they can allocate their money more effectively." #taxcuts

Interesting read regarding #TrumpAccounts for children.

"It will guarantee free tuition starting in the fall of 2027 for undergraduate students from families with annual income less than $250,000. As part of its expanded aid, it will cover housing, meals and other fees for students from families with income less than $125,000." #UniversityofChicago

How cute is this #Italian boy as he steals the show with hilarious pose while meeting Kate Middleton in Reggio, Emilia, Italy? #KateMiddleton #Italy

"The head of the CIA visited Cuba on Thursday, an extraordinary step-up in contact between Washington and Havana as the communist-run island reels from US pressure, declaring that it is out of oil." #cuba

Sigh ...

What a horrid human. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Gratitude from this #Jersey girl now anchored in #Tampa that has some pretty questionable drinking water. Sigh ... #PFAS #foreverchemicals

And you especially gotta watch out for protective mama bears. They're fierce, as they should be. I've been chased before, unaware of baby bear close by. #Greatsmokymountains #bears

"The TV host is following Jimmy Kimmel’s lead by opting not to air a new episode on May 21, the same night Colbert brings his 11-season run on 'The Late Show' to an end." @colbertlateshow.bsky.social @jimmykimmel.com @jimmyfallon.bsky.social

"El Niño is coming "soon" and it could reach "very strong" levels later this year, according to a May 14 forecast released by climate scientists from NOAA's Climate Prediction Center." #Elnino

Fresh Atlantic #salmon (had for dinner last night), organic chicken broth and Emporium Selection Aged Reserve New York White Cheddar Cheese are among my favorites. Aldi USDA Choice Birria-Style Beef - not my thing. #Aldi's

"Federal officials have pointed to staggering operating costs — reportedly approaching a $1 million-per-day burn rate as questions mounted over whether the state’s unprecedented experiment was sustainable. #Florida has requested roughly $608 million in federal reimbursement." #alligatoralcatraz

How cool. #Netherlands

Ouch! #dentalwork www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

No surprise.

"In a lawsuit filed Monday in federal district court in Washington, a nonprofit group contends that the National Park Service violated the National Historic Preservation Act by beginning to repaint the bottom surface of the landmark in a bright blue color." #reflectingpool #history

Perfect!

Yes, please!

Here in #Tampa, our city water is deemed safe but in my opinion, it's still tragically flawed and unsafe. #Pets #drinkingwater

I needed this today. Actually, every day. 💫 #ThichNhatHanh #peace

I have many friends with back issues, many succumbing to surgery and other modalities. Here's something that I've never heard of. As with everything in life, stay curious and keep asking questions. #dryneedling #backpain

Sigh ... #Votingrightsact

Thursday, Trump said he will remove tariffs on Scotch whisky, touting the move as a celebration of the connection between the U.S. and United Kingdom to cap off King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s four-day U.S. visit. God save the Scottish whiskey, I guess.

Yikes! Here in #Florida, we already have way too many #invasivespecies. #Trumpfamily "Asian jumping worms, an invasive, soil nutrient-gobbling earthworm that can leap a foot in the air, are moving rapidly across the country, with sightings in 38 states, including Florida." #Asianjumpingworms

Sounds like a great read for #Rollingstones fans. Like me.

Proud of @mikiesherrill.bsky.social representing the #GardenState, a land that I love. #NewJersey

Continued extreme collateral damage, suffering and death continues due to our current administration. #Iranwar #Trumpadministration

The 22-foot golden statue of DJT, known as "Don Colossus," was installed at the Trump National Doral Miami & was commissioned by cryptocurrency group, $PATRIOT. The bronze statue is covered in gold leaf & weighs over 3 tons -plus a 7,000-pound pedestal. #Trump #Doral #TrumpNationalDoral #Florida

We all make mistakes, especially in the excitement of things. He did the right thing by returning it to the little girl.

Sigh ... And sad. #savedemocracy

Happy Birthday, #WillieNelson! "Willie Nelson was born on April 29, 1933, in Abbott, Texas. As of April 29, 2026, he is 93 years old. While his birth certificate lists April 30 due to a recording error, he generally celebrates his birthday on April 29, though he sometimes honors both dates."
