Debbie Wasserman Schultz-For Trump and any wanna-be autocrats, chaos is the whole point.

Gus Bilirakis-It was an incredible honor to speak at this year’s Citrus County Purple Heart Veterans Celebration. It was tremendous to see so many neighbors come out to celebrate the heroism of these men and women who went above and beyond the call of duty in their service to our country.
