Trump cares more about his personal vanity projects than families' well-being, and said housing cost concerns are a "big yawn." Democrats will keep fighting to make life more affordable, even if Republicans refuse to.

Thanks to Trump’s tariffs and Iran war, your summer cookout and vacation cost a lot more. Average backyard barbecues spiked 13%, four times more than the inflation rate. I'm fighting non-stop to end Trump's illegal trade war and costly conflicts.

Happy Independence Day, Broward County! This Fourth of July, let’s appreciate the freedoms we all cherish and build on the founding ideals that make our nation great by protecting them.

One year ago today, House Republicans passed their Big, Ugly Bill into law. Since then? 8 million Americans kicked off healthcare. 4 million Americans kicked off food assistance. Republicans made our affordability crisis worse. Democrats are working to fix it.

The collapse of Surfside's Champlain Towers rocked our South Florida community five years ago. We can't let that happen again. My bipartisan Making Condos Safer and Affordable Act ensures condominium associations can afford to make pressing repairs and keep residents safe.

Proud to join @unitehere.org Local 23 workers on the picket line this week. I'll always stand up for workers' right to organize and stand in solidarity in the fight for fair contracts.

Proud to join @housedemocrats.bsky.social to highlight our victory in court today to protect birthright citizenship. This was a major win, but the fight continues. I'll always defend birthright citizenship and fight for an immigration system that works.

SCOTUS rejected Trump’s lawless attack on birthright citizenship, but the 6-3 split is disturbing. The 14th amendment is clear and this should be a 9-0 slam dunk. We cannot allow extremists in the White House or on the Court to shred the Constitution and rip away citizenship.

Immigrant Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the immigrant communities who have helped shape and enrich our country, creating a better future for the American people.

57 years ago, a group of brave LGBTQ+ Americans at the Stonewall Inn stood up to hate and injustice. Today, we celebrate their contributions to making America a more welcoming and inclusive place for everyone, no matter who you love. #PrideisaProtest

After the Supreme Court decision to rip away TPS from law-abiding Haitians, it has never been more urgent to protect our hardworking neighbors from ICE brutality and provide a lawful pathway to permanent status. I intend to do that, and my new TPS Review Act will help.

Trump sends his ICE thugs into our communities to snatch people up because they have an accent, or work a job that Stephen Miller thinks is for immigrants. We can't have reckless, untrained ICE agents roaming our streets until real reforms are made.

SCOTUS allowed the termination of TPS for law-abiding Haitian and Syrian immigrants yesterday, despite Trump's openly racist motivations. So I'm sponsoring TPS Review Act to restore checks and balances on the President’s handling of TPS, because nobody is above the law. 🧵

Trump is holding a bill to reduce housing costs hostage. Congress passed the largest housing bill in decades to help make homeownership achievable again, but Trump refuses to sign it. He clearly doesn't care about affordability. I'll keep fighting until the bill becomes law.

Today marks the 11th anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark Supreme Court decision affirming marriage equality for everyone nationwide, regardless of sexual orientation. We celebrate this historic step forward and continue the fight for equal rights for all.

SCOTUS ignored Trump's open racism to imply that race was not a factor in the case to terminate TPS. We all know better. I joined Rep. Pressley, Sen. Markey, Whip Clark, & Rep. Frost outside the Supreme Court to denounce this decision & support our Haitian neighbors.

Because Republicans have no answers to address the cost of living, they join Trump to assault free and fair elections. Watch as I chair a @housedemocrats.bsky.social hearing on on how to best stand against GOP threats to our elections: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyWQ...

My heart goes out to our Venezuelans impacted by the destructive earthquakes last night. My office is open to assist our South Florida Venezuelan neighbors who are seeking information or immediate assistance with a loved one who may be injured.

Women are denied essential medical care to save our health and lives, turned away from ERs and forced to delay or travel hundreds of miles for it. 4 years ago, a far-right SCOTUS minority stole women's rights in the Dobbs ruling. We must reclaim control of our own bodies. @reprocaucus.bsky.social

Rep. LaMonica McIver stepped up to protect people and demand answers from ICE. Now she’s being prosecuted for it. This case will decide if Trump can silence critics and duck accountability. I stand with @replamonica.bsky.social in this fight.

Republicans want to give the Pentagon $1,072,210,299,000. Remember this as you buy gas and groceries or budget for a summer trip. Watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight to lower prices, not hand the military $1.1 trillion: youtu.be/K0kj5hEGTJw

5 years ago, 98 people died in the heartbreaking Surfside condo collapse. My heart is with the residents and families of those we lost today. I fought for a federal probe that found major design and build flaws that we must learn from to ensure that this never happens again.

Proud to vote for bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the largest housing affordability bill passed in decades. This bill will bring more homes to market faster, cut red tape, and bring meaningful relief to hardworking families across South Florida.

This #ASKDay, remember to ask: is there an unlocked gun in the home where my kids play? 8 children a day are unintentionally killed or injured by an unlocked or unsupervised gun in the home. Asking about gun safety saves lives.

I helped distribute 400,000 Child ID kits to help bring missing kids home. If a child goes missing, information obtained by this kit can make all the difference. We owe it to every parent and young one to be fully committed to end the missing child crisis.

Happy Father's Day to all the South Florida dads! Parenting is harder and more costly than ever. I'll keep pushing for paid family leave, affordable child care, and strong healthcare coverage to support Broward families.

Great to join the Health Foundation of South Florida's Black Health Summit to advance health equity & wellness outcomes! I'm proud to have created the Alcee Hastings Cancer Screening Program & secure $45M to fund its work tackling health disparities in underserved communities.

No family deserves the pain of a missing child. I'm proud to help distribute 400,000 Child ID kits to help law enforcement and families find missing kids faster.

Juneteenth celebrates the delayed arrival of an end to the Civil War and emancipation from slavery. It marks how far we’ve come, but still must travel. We must celebrate its heroes, Rep. Al Edwards and Opal Lee, and the resilience and strength of Broward's Black community today and every day.

Trump's cut & run Iran deal is a white flag surrender, a framework for failure. His reckless war leaves a region less secure, shipping unstable & Iran’s nuclear, ballistic & terrorist proxy threats intact, plus $300B to continue to wage terror. In exchange we get higher gas prices & a $100B war tab

In 2018, eleven lived were stolen from us in the antisemitic mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. Honored to tour the traveling Tree of Life exhibit at NSU and remember those who were taken from us by that horrific act of hate.

Port Everglades is the beating heart of Broward's economy. As anti-union Republicans attack our workers, I advocate in Congress to expand the port and the rights of everyone who works there. Glad to share my work with our Longshoremen in ILA Local 1526.

Eleven years ago a violent racist stole nine lives in Charleston’s Mother Emanuel Church. Hate has taken many more lives since. We must keep pushing for increased Nonprofit Security Grants to keep our houses of worship safe and keep fighting to #EndGunViolence.

After pressure from tribal, faith, environmental and community leaders, the Everglades internment camp is closed. Floridians were robbed of $1B for hurricane emergencies to fund this deathtrap. I'll use every tool I have to hold those responsible for this cruelty accountable.

Congress never voted to authorize Trump’s war. The result was strategic disaster. Now, he’s handing Iran costly, dangerous concessions to escape this mess. The President must submit the final deal with Iran to Congress for approval. Americans can’t afford another failure.

No one deserves to feel the pain of seeing your child's face on a missing poster. Proud to join Children's Services Council of Broward, LifeNet4Families, NOBLE, United Way of Broward and Broward County leaders to announce distribution of 400,000 free Child ID kits to help bring missing kids home.

Since DACA began 14 years ago, DREAMers have strengthened America. They've grown up here since they were kids and are just as American as any of us. This is the only home they know. As DACA comes under attack, we must keep fighting for permanent protections for DREAMers.

Great to honor Broward's women veterans this morning. As the lead Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee's Military Construction and Veterans Affairs subcommittee, I'll always support those who served our country and continue to deliver for them.

Ten years ago today, 49 lives were stolen from us in a mass shooting at Orlando’s LGBTQ+ Pulse nightclub. I joined Reps. Soto, Castor, Frankel, Frost, Moskowitz and other House colleagues to honor their memories in a moment of silence on the House Floor.

Republicans want to gut the Government Accountability Office so Trump and his friends can get away with corruption. GAO recovers more taxpayer savings than DOGE could dream of, but Republicans want to make it less efficient.

Honored to be named an Everglades Champion by the Everglades Foundation! I'll always fight to protect our beloved River of Grass, and am proud to have secured billions in federal investment for restoration.

House Republicans just handed ICE and CBP another $70B while ripping affordable healthcare from nearly 100,000 Broward families. I voted no. I fought to stop ICE brutality in the Appropriations Committee past 1AM last night, and Democrats are continuing the fight today.

I've represented South Florida's diverse Caribbean and Latin American diaspora communities throughout my career. Their stories have sharpened my focus on human rights and democracy. Honored to join @houseforeign.bsky.social to carry that mission forward and fight Trump's America-last policies

Apple made the right call by giving more tools to parents to keep kids healthy and safe. Child safety tools are absolutely necessary, which is why I introduced Sammy's Law to protect kids online. This work is not just about marketing, it’s lifesaving. www.today.com/video/apple-...

Revoking the waiting period for buying a firearm risks putting guns in the wrong hands. This timeline allows for background checks and prevents impulsive violence and self-harm. Uthmeier's attack on this common-sense law puts Floridians in harm’s way www.wctv.tv/2026/06/06/f...

Glad to join Empowered to Thrive and Broward's cancer community for Safari of Survivors! I know firsthand that survivorship is a vital part of a cancer journey. My Lainie Jones Comprehensive Cancer Survivorship Act helps survivors handle long-term impacts on health and life.

I was thrilled to honor such a distinguished group of young people from my district who I was proud to nominate to our service academies. I thank them for their future public service. I know they’ll make us proud!

As vice-chair of the Equality Caucus, I fight to not only protect the gains of the LGBTQ+ community, but make even bigger strides forward. I was able to recognize one of the most vibrant and diverse LGBTQ+ communities in the country at the inaugural Stonewall Honors Ceremony!

D-Day heroes liberated Europe from a murderous Nazi regime. We all inherit their defense of freedom. Today, on the anniversary of the Allied Normandy invasion, we must remember these brave soldiers’ amazing sacrifice.

On Gun Violence Prevention Day, I'm proud to #wearorange to support gun violence survivors. We must stand together to #EndGunViolence, recommit to keeping our communities safe, and keep those we lost close to our hearts.
