The State of Florida is closely monitoring Invest 91L, an area of low pressure developing over the eastern Gulf of America.
The National Hurricane Center reports that the system could become a tropical depression over the next couple of days. Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches, with isolated amounts near 6 inches, are possible along portions of Florida’s Gulf Coast. Dangerous flash flooding could occur.
Residents should:
- Monitor updates from local officials, @FLSERT and the National Hurricane Center.
- Enable emergency alerts.
- Avoid flooded roads. Turn around, don’t drown.
- Review family plans and disaster supplies.

🚨 7/18: @FLSERT is closely monitoring Invest 91L.

✔️ Monitor the forecast
✔️ Have multiple ways to receive weather alerts
✔️ Never drive through flooded roadways—Turn Around, Don't Drown!
✔️ Follow guidance from your local emergency management officials

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our great nation. Their courage is the foundation of our freedom.
It was an honor to spend this weekend with Gold Star families, veterans, and communities coming together to pay their respects and experience the spirit of gratitude and remembrance across our state.
Florida’s representation in Congress has been shortchanged by a Census undercount, and distorted by considerations of race.
@GovRonDeSantis’s proposed map fixes the record. It is 100% race-neutral and accounts for the dramatic population changes Florida has experienced. Simply the fair, constitutional representation Floridians deserve.
Heartbroken by the devastation from the Mossy Pond wildfires in Calhoun County. Our prayers are with every family who has lost homes, memories, and peace of mind—you are not alone.
To every firefighter, first responder, and emergency team on the front lines: thank you for your courage and tireless work protecting our communities. You embody what it means to serve.
Today, I had the honor of touring the Florida Highway Patrol's Central Installation Facility in Middleburg, where our dedicated team outfits the vehicles that keep our roads safe and our communities protected.
Thank you to the men and women of FHP for your service and sacrifice. I've got your back, all day, every day. Let's keep Florida the freest and safest state in America!
I stand firmly with @GovRonDeSantis in the fight to protect our kids from AI harms.
The AI Bill of Rights passed by the Senate provides commonsense safeguards against companion chatbots.
House leadership: Stop stalling and pass this bill now. Our children can't wait.
Technology ought to enhance our lives—not control our lives, nor supplant the human experience. The AI Bill of Rights defends consumers, medical patients, and families in Florida from the potential harms of artificial intelligence applications. It is especially important that we protect the most vulnerable among us: our children.
Today, I announced that I am directing our state agencies to work with the Future of Life Institute and experts who study AI-human interactions to improve our understanding of AI harm to children. Through this collaboration, the state will develop a crisis counselor training curriculum to navigate AI-related mental health, as well as an AI Harms Reporting Form.
The Florida Senate passed the AI Bill of Rights, but Florida House leadership is blocking it. It is incumbent on the Legislature to act in the best interests of the people who elected them and defend the rights of all Floridians, especially children.
Parents deserve to be fully informed and have medical freedom when it comes to their children. End of story. Hard stop. That’s part of the responsibility of being a parent.
@GovRonDeSantis and I stand for medical freedom. Glad to see the MAHA movement joining us in this push!
MAHA is backing Florida’s Medical Freedom Bill (HB917).
It stops discrimination against patients based on vaccination status.
It strengthens informed consent for childhood vaccinations.
It gives adults access to ivermectin from pharmacists without a prescription.
It adds conscience based exemptions for school health exams and immunizations.
Medical Freedom continues to sweep the nation state by state.
It was a great day in Dixie County meeting with community leaders and hearing how our administration can best assist the Big Bend as we continue to recover from once in a generation storms.
A top priority of mine and @GovRonDeSantis is ensuring that our rural communities are at the forefront of our fight in Tallahassee.
Florida now ranks #1 in the nation for workforce education thanks to @GovRonDeSantis’ commitment to expanding technical educational pathways.
Today, I had the opportunity to visit the welding program at Astronaut High School in Titusville and see firsthand the results of Florida’s historic investments in developing the next generation of a skilled, future-ready workforce.
Correctional officers are on the frontline, 24/7, to keep dangerous criminals behind bars and protect public safety.
This is a top responsibility for the state of Florida, which is why I am proud to support @GovRonDeSantis’ budget proposal to raise the starting pay for correctional officers from $22 an hour to $28 an hour.
Florida is a law and order state, and that means that we provide for those who protect Floridians.

Great morning well spent speaking at the SimSpace Summit.
Cybersecurity is no longer solely a technical matter; it is a critical issue of national security, economic security, and public safety.
Florida recognizes the stakes as a high-value target and is advancing proactive, resilient defenses through public-private collaboration.
Appreciate the opportunity to address this group of leaders shaping cyber defense.
Thank you to FLHSMV for taking a commonsense step to strengthen highway safety.
Ensuring drivers can understand road signs, instructions, and safety commands in English helps keep everyone on our roads safer.
Thanks to @MiamiDade_SO, @Sheriff_Rosie, and Florida Highway Patrol Executive Director Dave Kerner for a thorough after-action security debrief following the CFP National Championship.
Grateful for the professionalism, coordination, and commitment that helped keep one of the largest events in the country safe.
Grateful for the opportunity to speak at the International Association of Fire Fighters 43rd Annual Legislative Conference.
Firefighters serve with courage, discipline, and selflessness every day. Florida remains committed to supporting our first responders and ensuring they have the tools, resources, and respect they deserve.
Today, we remember the six million Jewish men, women, and children, and others murdered during the Holocaust. We honor the victims, the survivors, and the heroes who stood against evil. May we never forget and never allow history to repeat itself.
Honored to address the South Florida Police Benevolent Association and swear in President Steadman Stahl, the new executive board, and dedicated representatives who serve our communities with integrity and courage.
The South Florida PBA does incredible work supporting our law enforcement officers and strengthening the communities they protect. Proud to stand with them as Florida continues to back the badge under @GovRonDeSantis’ leadership.
Honored to speak at the Florida Sheriffs Association Winter Conference.
Thanks to the leadership of @GovRonDeSantis, Florida has become a state that puts public safety first.
We support our officers, invest in their success, and recognize the critical role they play in keeping our communities strong.
At a time when some states were turning their backs on law enforcement, Florida continued to stand shoulder to shoulder with those who serve.
Senate President @Sen_Albritton is a dedicated leader who has done so much for Florida. Praying for a full and speedy recovery.
Florida’s Senate President @Sen_Albritton hospitalized after experiencing chest pain on Sunday. Doctors discovered a “small blood clot” in his lung. His staff says he is “currently under observation, awaiting further testing.”
Full memo to lawmakers here:
I was honored to join @TeamSJSO for deputy qualification day.
These men and women work around the clock to keep our communities safe.
It was great to spend time and send ammo down range with our law enforcement heroes. As our state’s Lieutenant Governor I will always have your back.
