President Donald Trump earlier endorsed Byron Donalds for the 2026 gubernatorial race.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) announced Tuesday that he intends to run for Florida governor next year.

Donalds announced his candidacy during an interview with Fox News, saying “I think now is the time to now take the mantle and lead our state into the future.”

Gov. Ron DeSantis currently holds the position, but due to term limits, he will be ineligible to run for a third term. During the interview, Donalds praised DeSantis for his “tremendous job” leading the state.

“We have a great governor. Ron DeSantis has done a tremendous job for our state, but now the job is to keep the best state in the country as the best state in the country, so that’s going to be the mission at hand,” Donalds said.

The announcement is unsurprising as President Donald Trump endorsed Donalds for his candidacy in the 2026 gubernatorial race last week.

“I know Byron well, have seen him tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and he is a TOTAL WINNER!” Trump stated on the Truth Social post on Feb. 21.

Trump said he believes that Donalds “would be a truly Great and Powerful Governor…

Trump Signs New Memo Going After Jack Smith-Tied Legal Group
February 26, 2025
On Tuesday President Donald Trump signed an order revoking security clearances for employees of Covington & Burling LLP, a law firm that provided legal assistance to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office. The move comes as part of Trump’s effort to combat what he calls the “weaponization of government” by legal and political opponents. At a press conference announcing the decision, Trump was in characteristic form, labeling Smith “deranged” and calling the executive action the “Deranged Jack Smith Signing.” He then tossed a Sharpie to a reporter, joking, “Why don’t you send it to Jack Smith?” The order suspends and places under review the security clearances of attorneys and employees from Covington & Burling who worked with Smith’s team. “We’re going to continue holding the people who were responsible for the weaponization of government accountable,” a senior official stated during the press event. Trump signaled that this move is just the beginning, suggesting that other firms could soon face similar actions. “You’ll be doing this with other firms as time goes by, right?” Trump asked an official during the presser.

President Trump SLAMS Maine governor for keeping MEN in women’s sports
February 26, 2025
President Donald Trump has clearly been listening to the American people, as within just a month of taking the presidency back, he’s reclaimed the definition of what it means to be a woman and is no longer allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports. Yet in the state of Maine, Governor Janet Mills (D) has defied President Trump’s order — despite Trump specifically signing an order that said states will face repercussions if they do so. “Maine is doing just that,” Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” comments. “Maine is defying President Trump and says that they will continue to allow biological men to play in women’s sports.” [embedded content] Trump was clearly not amused. “I heard men are still playing in Maine,” Trump said to a crowd. “Well, I hate to tell you this, but we’re not going to give them any federal money. They are still saying, ‘We want men to play in women’s sports,’ and I cannot believe that they’re doing that.” “So we’re not going to give them any federal funding, none whatsoever, until they clean that up,” he added. In a meeting with the governors,… Read the full article here […]
Twenty-One DOGE Staffers Resign Rather Than ‘Dismantle Critical Public Services’ – Twitchy
February 26, 2025
Here’s a good example of the trash taking itself out. The Associated Press reports that more than 20 civil service employees are resigning over DOGE’s dismantling of critical public services. Did you catch that? More than 20? How will the government manage to go on? BREAKING: More than 20 civil service employees are resigning from Elon Musk’s DOGE, saying they refuse to “dismantle critical public services.” https://t.co/c1OUPUhxhg — The Associated Press (@AP) February 25, 2025 The Associated Press, which still has a seat in the White House briefing room, reports: More than 20 civil service employees resigned Tuesday from billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, saying they were refusing to use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.” “We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,” the 21 staffers wrote in a joint resignation letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press. “However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.” The employees also warned that… Read the full article here […]
Russia & The US’ Diplomatic Choreography At The UN Shows Their Commitment To A “New Détente”
February 26, 2025
Authored by Andrew Korybko via substack, Any claims of Russia “backstabbing” or “selling out” China are absurd and driven by a desire to sow discord… The “New Détente”, which refers to the ongoing efforts between Russia and the US to enter into a rapprochement in the New Cold War similar in spirit to what they agreed to half a century ago during the Old Cold War, is no longer speculation after the US’ pivot towards Russia at the UN. The US joined Russia in vetoing a resolution from the General Assembly that condemned Russia for its special operation and then Russia sided with the US in supporting the latter’s more neutral one in the Security Council. This diplomatic choreography was clearly coordinated between Putin and Trump to show the entire world that they’re committed to the “New Détente”. In parallel with what was unfolding on the world stage, each leader also spoke highly about the future of their economic ties, with Trump hyping everyone up to expect “major economic transactions” while Putin hinted at cooperation in the aluminum and rare earth industries. This followed their representatives discussing Arctic energy… Read the full article here […]

Banged-up Karl-Anthony Towns may not play for Knicks vs. 76ers
February 25, 2025
Karl-Anthony Towns practiced Tuesday after leaving Sunday’s game briefly against Boston and said he would see how his knee felt Wednesday before determining whether he’d play against the 76ers at Madison Square Garden. Towns was listed as questionable on the injury report, while Josh Hart also practiced Tuesday and Tom Thibodeau expected him to be good for Wednesday’s game after missing two straight with a knee injury before returning Sunday. Towns is averaging 24.8 points and a career-best 13.5 rebounds per game. Asked if he believed he was having the best season of his career, Towns said: “I don’t know. I don’t know. I feel like I’ve had some really, really great seasons. I think the only constant in all that is I continue to put the work in, regardless of what people thought or not. I’ll let the fans decide that.” As long as he stays healthy, the Knicks should be in good shape — though they haven’t been against three of the top teams in the league, as the Knicks are winless in seven games versus Boston, Cleveland and Oklahoma City.
