Great meeting with my friend Manny Diaz, Jr., President-elect of @UWF. Educating the next generation is one of the most important jobs we have, and Florida’s universities meet that challenge every day. Proud to support our institutions as they continue investing in our future.

The arson attack on Beth Israel Congregation, the only synagogue in Jackson, Mississippi, was an attack on religious freedom itself. Antisemitism is a scourge that must be confronted, not ignored. I stand with the Jewish community and the freedom of all to worship without fear.

As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I am hereby calling for Chairman Jordan (former chair of the Weaponization Committee, ironically) to open an immediate investigation into the DOJ’s inquiry of Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

The death of Renee Nicole Good is a tragedy and demands a full and independent investigation, followed by genuine accountability.

Allowing the ACA tax credits to expire put millions of Americans at risk of losing healthcare. That’s why House Democrats just passed a bipartisan bill to restore those credits. Now it’s time for the Senate to act. No family should lose healthcare because of Washington inaction.

Five years ago, a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol to overturn a free and fair election. Let’s be clear: January 6th was an attack on our democracy. History will remember it as such, but at a time when the truth is being rewritten, I’m committed to preserving it.

In 2025, my team and I worked around the clock to deliver for our community, and I believe our results speak for themselves: -1,965 Floridians’ cases with federal agencies resolved -62,204 constituent letters answered -$17.5 million returned to our neighbors

Merry Christmas! Wishing you and your loved ones a day filled with warmth, joy, and peace. May the season bring comfort now and hope for the year ahead!

Congratulations to Anik Sahai from FAU High, winner of this year’s Congressional App Challenge, for his incredible app, SunGuard.

Just as the Space Race defined a generation, the AI race will shape the future. That's why we must do all we can to ensure advanced U.S. AI chips are not sold to China or other countries of concern. The RESTRICT Act does just that.

I was proud to stand with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and my colleagues to say in one clear voice that Congress should not leave for the holidays without acting to lower healthcare costs. Speaker Johnson must put the ACA tax credit extension vote on the floor today. Not next year. Today.

It’s completely unacceptable that 164,000 of my constituents will see their healthcare costs skyrocket because @SpeakerJohnson took the vote off the table this week. If you don't even have "concepts of a plan" then maybe it's time to work with Democrats to make one.

Wishing everyone out there a very happy and safe Hanukkah. I hope this year’s Festival of Lights brings you strength, healing, and brighter days ahead.

I’m relieved to hear the suspect has been captured after last night’s horrific shooting at Brown University. This is a trauma no community should ever have to endure, and my community of Parkland knows all too well that an arrest does not erase the pain or bring back the lives that were taken.

🚨REMINDER🚨 December 7th is the LAST DAY for Medicare Open Enrollment! Whether you’re reviewing your options, comparing benefits, or switching plans, there’s still time! Head over to medicare.gov/health-drug-plans/open-enrollment this week to make sure your coverage is set for the coming year!

On this Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for the friends and family who fill our lives with joy and compassion. This holiday is a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate the little things that matter most. Happy Thanksgiving!

Storms in Florida are getting costlier every year, and families are paying for it in skyrocketing insurance costs. So today I reintroduced my bill to lower what you pay for home insurance. Hurricanes are already a disaster, insurance shouldn't be one too.

It took the Speaker 50 days, but @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social is finally "Rep." instead of "Rep.-elect," and she’s going to be a great one for the people of Arizona’s 7th Congressional District. Looking forward to working together!

Our veterans represent the very best America has to offer. Our nation would be nothing without the courage of those who’ve served in uniform. On Veterans Day, let’s reaffirm our commitment to never stop fighting for those who fought for us. America stands taller because of you.

Nancy Pelosi is the greatest Speaker of all time. For decades, Speaker Emerita Pelosi has led House Democrats with dignity, respect, and nerves of steel. She is never afraid to take on big challenges, and our country is better off because of it

On Saturday, the nearly three million Floridians who rely on SNAP to feed their families won’t receive the food assistance they’re counting on. As I continue to press for a solution to get SNAP benefits flowing again, know that there are resources here in South Florida to help.

Happy Halloween, Florida! For any families going out trick-or-treating, remember these terrifying tips to stay safe on this spooky night: Trick-or-Treaters: 🎃 Wear bright clothing 🎃 Cross at crosswalks 🎃 Watch for traffic Motorists: 🚘 DRIVE SLOWLY

When I was Florida’s emergency management director, I was proud to work with first responders across our state, and today, I’m proud to have their backs in Congress. This First Responders Day, join me to honor these brave men and women who are always looking out for FL families.

I had the privilege to visit HCA Florida Northwest Hospital and see firsthand the kind of quality care they deliver for families across South Florida. Health care should be affordable and accessible for everyone who walks through these doors—and I’m fighting to make sure it is.

More people in South Florida get health care through the ACA exchange than anywhere else in America. If ACA tax credits expire, lifesaving coverage will become unaffordable for millions overnight. Congress can’t let this happen—come back to the table, and let’s work out a deal.

My prayers are with the people of Jamaica and their families as Hurricane Melissa makes landfall as a Category 5 storm. Over 300,000 Jamaican Americans call Florida home, and my office is prepared to help in any way we can during this horrific time.

Had a great visit to Park Trails Elementary to share a meal with students, teachers, and my friend Lori Alhadeff and see their lunch program up close. Our kids are the future, and federal funding is crucial to delivering them the nutrition and resources their education needs.

FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund is a lifeline for communities rebuilding after a disaster, and these resources shouldn’t be put at risk because of a shutdown. Through my new bill, Floridians can be confident that the recovery funds they’re counting on will still be delivered.

I had the opportunity to visit CTS Engines’ new global headquarters right here in Coral Springs and saw firsthand what a game-changer it is for aviation. Thank you CTS for building on Florida’s legacy of aerospace innovation and helping America stay number one in aviation.

I filed this bill with @reptroycarter.bsky.social to ensure families rebuilding after a disaster still receive the relief promised to them, even in a shutdown. Our communities shouldn’t have to worry whether these resources will reach them just because Congress can’t keep government open.

Today I’m introducing the Federal Emergency Management Continuity Act with @reptroycarter.bsky.social to ensure communities will continue to receive authorized disaster relief funds during a shutdown. No families’ recovery should be at risk just because Congress can’t do its job.

The deadline for the Congressional App Challenge is just two weeks away! If you’ve got a great idea for an app, submit yours today! Who knows, you could see it displayed right here in the U.S. Capitol alongside top young coders from across the country. The deadline is on October 30th at noon ET.

It’s always a special day when we get to welcome a new small business to our community. I was grateful to join the Generoso’s crew for their grand opening right here in Coral Springs, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Welcome to the neighborhood!

South Florida’s rich Hispanic culture is a central piece of who we are, and that wouldn’t be possible without the leaders who shape it. During this Hispanic Heritage Month, I want to take a moment to recognize just a few of the incredible Hispanic leaders in our community:

I filed this resolution today to change the House Rules: Congress should not be able to leave on a paid vacation when government is closed and federal workers and servicemembers are working without a paycheck.

Week two of the shutdown and the House still hasn’t shown up for work. Federal workers and service members are working without pay, yet Congress gets paid for inaction. So I’m proposing a House Rules change: stay in session until the shutdown ends. No paid vacation.

I was grateful to sit down with workers from @afscme.bsky.social to hear how recent decisions out of Washington are threatening the programs they rely on. Our government should work for working families — and that means taking real, concrete steps to protect their lifesaving health care.

Florida’s workers don’t get paid for not doing their jobs, so why should members of Congress? If the government isn’t open, members shouldn’t be paid. As long as the government is shutdown I will be foregoing my paycheck. Let’s find a bipartisan solution and reopen for the American people.

Wishing a blessed and meaningful Yom Kippur to you and your loved ones. May this Day of Atonement bring you clarity, renewal, and peace, and may all who observe be sealed for a good year. G'mar Chatima Tova!

Democrats are at the table to keep the government open and protect lower health care premiums. House Republicans are refusing to do both. Families can't afford higher costs or a government shutdown.

Shana Tova! Wishing a happy and healthy new year to all those beginning Rosh Hashanah celebrations tonight.

Reminder on today's #NationalAppChallengeDay that we're a little over a month away from the October 30 submission deadline for this year’s Congressional App Challenge. We look forward to seeing the innovative apps you come up with!

September 11, 2001 was one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. We can #NeverForget what happened that day, the lives we lost, the bravery of law enforcement and first responders, and the sacrifice of the men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our nation.

For more than 75 years, the NATO alliance has been a cornerstone of global security. It's critical it stay that way and we stand with our allies. As a member of @houseforeign.bsky.social, I'll continue to stand with Poland, defend NATO, and deter Putin's ongoing, unprovoked aggression.

Congressman @repmoskowitz.bsky.social explains why Speaker Johnson should be nervous about the new GOP-led Jan. 6 probe.

In their ongoing campaign of distraction, my colleagues across the aisle found a new target: January 6. We won't let their efforts rewrite that dark day. I look forward to serving on this Judiciary subcommittee that can only be described as a giant waste of time and taxpayer money.

One of the first bills I led in Congress was the FEMA Independence Act, a landmark bill to remove FEMA from DHS and restore it as an independent, Cabinet-level agency reporting directly to the President. This week, it passed @transportdems.bsky.social as part of the bipartisan FEMA Act of 2025.

House Judiciary Republicans have held no hearings about the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files, and today, they’re again leaving DC without getting answers. They don’t have any questions about it?

Vaccines work. They save lives. This decision risks wiping away decades-long progress for public health in Florida, and it threatens the wellbeing of kids, seniors, and people with preexisting conditions across our state. It will not make Florida more healthy.

Happy Labor Day! Today we celebrate the hardworking Floridians who power our economy and make this state an incredible place to live. I’ll always have your backs.
