Last fact, #10. If we don’t address climate change, this only gets worse. Regions becoming uninsurable and unmortgageable is predicted. A “coastal property values crash” is predicted. Elsewhere, wildfire risk creates the same economic danger. Time for us all to wake up.
- SW
Fact #9. It’s a cascade, like dominoes. Climate risk wipes out insurance markets, which wipes out mortgages, which wipes out property values (unless you’ve got a zillionaire paying cash), which wipes out the economy — a “systemic risk.” Look it up. It’s not pretty.
- SW
Fact #8. Even Trump voters know something’s up. Most Floridians, including nearly half of Florida Trump voters, blame the home insurance crisis on “climate change making storms and hurricanes worse.” And they’re right. That’s the problem causing this.
- SW
Fact #7. If you can’t get insurance at all on your home, then buyers won’t be able to get a mortgage on it, and that will hammer the value of most homes. Only cash buyers will remain. Another hit to Florida property values.
- SW
Fact #6. If you stay in Citizens, you should know that two-thirds of its Hurricane Debbie claimants got nothing for their claims — zero dollars. Hard to say it’s real insurance when most claimants got zero payments after a hurricane. Be prepared.
- SW
Fact #5. If you end up in Citizens Property, it can spin you off to local private insurers with questionable ratings, many of which have gone bust when claims came, leaving homeowners stuck in Florida’s state claims guarantee fund, with taxpayers on the hook.
- SW
Fact #4. Many Floridians can’t get home insurance at all. If they can’t, and have a mortgage, the bank can “force place” insurance and add that to their mortgage payment, hitting family budgets hard — to pay for insurance for the bank, not the homeowner.
- SW
Fact #3. Insurance costs getting that high drives down property values, and Florida leads the country in declining property values. Some Floridians are trapped in homes now worth less than their remaining mortgage principal.
- SW
Fact #2. Most major insurers, and the leading ratings agencies for insurers, have pulled out of Florida, leaving many homeowners in a desperate struggle for affordable insurance that will actually pay claims when disasters strike.

Top Ten Fun Facts about what climate change is doing to Florida’s home insurance market: Fact #1 is that it’s already the most expensive in the country, and predicted to double or triple in years ahead. 🧵

Trump will try anything to pump his flailing approval rating even if that means selling you out and cutting a deal with Putin. He’s using your taxpayer dollars to pay for Russian diesel, money that Putin will use in his war against Ukraine. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/17/t...

For half a century, California and the federal government have cooperated to protect our coastline. Now, further proof that this administration wants to end that partnership.

The fossil fuel industry pollutes for free. But in the rest of the world, nothing is free. People are dealing with climate-driven price hikes for home insurance, food, and other basics. Polluters should be paying these costs – not the people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOXU...

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

Minnesota needs a governor who puts Minnesota first. Unlike my opponent, I’m not Donald Trump’s choice. I’m not Mike Lindell’s choice. I’m not the choice of a billionaire from Wisconsin. And I am not the chief author of a bill that would ban abortion and send doctors to jail.

Thankfully, an anonymous group of Americans, whom I will never meet, voted unanimously that all I was doing was exercising basic free speech. So I know from experience, when it comes to weaponizing the government, the president says what he means, and he means what he says.

This is not the first time this president has tried to weaponize the justice system against me. At his direction, earlier this year, the Department of Justice took me to a D.C. grand jury to have me criminally indicted for sedition. If President Trump had his way, I'd be in prison.
