Everyone who grows tomatoes and related plants should heed the warning posted by @seankyleb Thank You! ; in addition to the nasty spines, the poisonous aspect, the invasive nature and the harm it does to the local plant life, the plant is also a host and/or alternate host in the spread of several fungus or virus diseases that cause damage to potato and tomato crops.

Looks similar to the young growth of Solanum capsicoides, Devil's Apple. A noxious invasive weed.

My guess would be Solanum viarum (Tropical Soda Apple) which is a non-native invasive here in Florida:
