* Moody Reds: Former AG Ashley Moody is serving out Marco Rubio’s senate term. She has Red cred and Fox familiarity, and Gov. Ron DisAstrous, to no one’s surprise, appointed her. She has vowed to “fight for President Trump” as a foremost priority. Her governor-pleasing track record notably includes suing the Biden Administration at least nine times since 2023. Some “Strawberry Queens” are more impactful, alas, than others.
* “There will be a much higher level of collaboration between state and federal government these next four years.”–Florida Republican Congresswoman Laurel Lee.

* “I believe special sessions should be used sparingly. They should not be stunts designed to generate headlines.”–House Speaker Daniel Perez, R-Miami. Minions have their limits too.
* More of the J6 rioters came from Florida than any other state.
