This is the tragic, inevitable result of Republican failure to hold ICE accountable for repeated, violent abuses of power. My heart is with the family of the victim. May her memory be for a blessing.

BREAKING: Trump backs major Democratic policy position. This is good news. Now, Trump has to follow through and avoid yet another broken promise.

This moment calls for President Trump to extend TPS for Venezuelans until safety and order is restored. It cannot wait.

On Jan. 6, 2021, Trump incited a violent mob to overturn a free and fair election. Thanks to brave law enforcement, it failed. Today, Democrats honored those who risked it all to protect our sacred peaceful transfer of power and reaffirmed our commitment to fight for democracy.

Trump’s strikes make it even more critical to restore TPS for Venezuelans. Venezuela is clearly dangerous and unstable. It’s inhumane to send law-abiding immigrant families back into this mess.

My heart goes out to the family of Congressman Doug LaMalfa. In the tense, confrontational world of Washington, he was always a decent, kind man, who lifted up those around him with his keen sense of humor. May his memory be for a blessing.

Five years ago, a vicious mob incited by Donald Trump tried to stop our democracy's peaceful transfer of power. Thanks to the bravery of our Capitol and DC Police, it failed. It should serve as a reminder of just how fragile democracy can be when a lawless president is in power.

I heard from Venezuelan leaders in my community today. Here’s what they had to say.

Trump is backing the same Venezuelan regime, just without Maduro. He sold out Venezuela's pro-democracy leaders to cash in on oil and deport lawful immigrants to a warzone. It's another corrupt deal that puts democracy further out of reach.

When I'm home in Florida, all my constituents talk about is how unaffordable life is. But Republican leaders don’t care. Instead, they give tax breaks to billionaires and leave American families to struggle.

Trump wants to break Social Security. If seniors are forced to use phone help lines (with up to three-hour waits) or struggle online to resolve issues, they may not be able to access the benefits they've earned. www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/s...

My bill would prevent sweetheart deals like Jeffrey Epstein received from ever happening again. That’s one way to get justice: ensure this travesty isn’t repeated.

Democrats forced a vote to extend health care tax credits, and four Republicans joined us. We can fix our broken healthcare system if Republican leaders stop being a roadblock.

The VENEZUELAN PEOPLE should ‘run Venezuela’: not Trump, not Maduro’s cronies Delcy and Diasdado. We should be backing the legitimate democratic leaders, Maria Corina Machado and Edmundo Gonzalez. ¡Decimos NO a dictadores ni de Mar-a-Lago ni de Miraflores! rollcall.com/2026/01/03/t...

My statement on the capture of the brutal, illegitimate ruler of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and need for a transition to democracy:

The Trump Administration is breaking the law by not releasing the full Epstein files. This coverup must end.

163 years ago today, America took a monumental step toward real freedom and equality when President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. It didn't immediately end slavery, but it started to close a horrific chapter in our history — one that must never be erased.

Today we celebrate new beginnings and the promises a new year ahead holds. Wishing you all the best health, happiness and prosperity in 2026!

Democrats fought all of 2025 to tackle the high the cost of living and fend off skyrocketing healthcare premiums, but Republicans refused to join us. In 2026, we'll fight twice as hard to make life more affordable for your family.

My team and I work hard on behalf of my constituents everyday. In 2025, these are just a sample of the problems we helped solve for the people of FL25.

In two days, millions will lose healthcare coverage or face soaring premiums. Democrats fought to avoid this crisis, yet Republicans refused to help. We'll continue to put pressure on the GOP to pass ACA tax credits.

Trump's Venezuela paradox: it's simultaneously captured by criminal narco-terrorists *and* it's safe enough to send back law-abiding families. Trump is too focused on corrupt oil profits to see the contradiction.

TPS holders are legal immigrants who work hard for a better life for their families. We shouldn't waste taxpayer dollars rounding up law-abiding people who contribute to our communities when we could be finding real criminals.

I know firsthand that early detection saves lives. We must reauthorize my EARLY Act to help women catch breast cancer early and fight back against this deadly disease.

Florida is on pace for the worst year of drownings on record. It's unacceptable. We must reauthorize my Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act to eliminate against these preventable deaths.

Merry Christmas! I wish you and your families a joyful holiday.

John "Footy" Kross was a South Florida icon, and a dear friend. I was proud to honor his life and legacy on the House Floor.

Trump pretends to back women veterans but his admin stomps on the rights of the very ones who keep us free. This cruel policy will ban VA abortion access in all but extreme risks to the mother’s life, with no health, incest or rape exceptions. www.ms.now/news/abortio...

Loved catching up with my friends at Hollybrook to share my fight in DC to protect Medicare and Social Security, and best of all, we did it over yummy holiday cookies. I’ll always work OT to protect their economic security.

We treasure our financial security so much more around the holidays. I shared with Oakmonte Village seniors how I fight non-stop to strengthen Medicare, Medicaid & Social Security to ensure they have those economic safeguards.

Overjoyed to join Miramar United Methodist Church and honor Pastor David Range's father, Morris. The love and concern congregants shared about Hurricane Melissa victims and those facing health & living cost pressures reminds me we’re all our brother's and sister's keepers.

So proud to join and help lift up the Broward NPHC Founder’s Day 29th celebration at the African American Research Library. A wonderful holiday evening with friends, built around service, empowerment and action with Broward County NPHC.

On the first night of Chanukah, Jews in Australia were met with violence. Chanukah is a celebration of Jewish resilience. We must continue to come together to fight antisemitism and hate from any end of the political spectrum, and ensure it has no place in our society.

Health insurance premiums are set to skyrocket when ACA tax credits expire on December 31, but Mike Johnson sent House Republicans home early for the holidays without doing anything about it. GOP leadership just doesn't care about lowering Americans' massive bills.

Despite a discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits that expire in weeks, Speaker Johnson sent House Republicans home for the holidays EARLY. @housedemocrats.bsky.social came together this morning to demand a vote to stop premiums from skyrocketing for millions.

In Trump’s first term, I passed a provision into law to stop him from obstructing ICE detention center oversight. Now, the courts are ensuring it’s followed. We’ll keep fighting for transparency, dignity and an end to family separations.

More Trump lies, denial & blaming others for his inflationary, job-killing tariff policies. Millions may lose health coverage but his angry speech was all empty promises. Trump made one thing crystal clear: He doesn’t get it. Democrats do, & we’ll keep working to solve this health & cost crisis.

I led Florida’s Congressional Democrats in a joint statement after voting for House resolutions to invoke the War Powers Act regarding Trump's actions in Venezuela. Read it here:

Speaker Johnson must bring this to the floor immediately. No more excuses.

Today at 7PM ET, I'm holding a town hall to discuss what I was able to accomplish in 2025, and what I'll work on in the year ahead. Due to a change in the House vote schedule, this event will be at 7PM rather than 6:30PM as originally planned. RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Tonight, I held my 17th annual Chanukah celebration! We celebrated the season of light and love, reflected on the year past and renewed our call to return the hostages and end antisemitism at home and abroad. Happy Chanukah!

TPS recipients are legal immigrants. Trump's attempts to criminalize law-abiding people & send them to unsafe conditions abroad hurt our economy & rip families apart. Grateful to The National TPS Alliance for their partnership in defending Venezuelans, Haitians & more.

TOMORROW: Wednesday, December 17 at 6:30PM ET, I'm holding a town hall to discuss what I was able to accomplish in 2025, and what I'll work on in the year ahead. Join me to hear how I worked for you this past year, and share what you'd like to see in 2026. RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

So glad to join The Preggo Organization for their 8th annual Community Baby Shower and Health Fair! Their work to empower families with education, community resources and support is so important, and I'm proud to support them and promote maternal health with the Momnibus Act.

Republicans' new, last minute "solution" to the healthcare crisis they caused STILL raises costs and kicks millions of people off their coverage.  It's unacceptable, and they know it. We must extend the ACA tax credits.

It was moving to join the Chabad of Weston to celebrate the first night of Chanukah in my hometown. It was an honor to help light the first candle and join our community for a night that made coming together after the terrorist attack in Sydney all the more important.

Tonight I join Jewish families worldwide to celebrate the festival of lights. #Chanukah unites us to recount blessings and unexpected triumphs, and spend time with loved ones. Happy Chanukah FL-25!

This horrific, targeted mass murder of Australian Jews on the first night of Chanukah is a direct result of the global vilification and dehumanizing rhetoric aimed at the Jewish community.

I'm horrified by last night's mass shooting at Brown University—yet another community scarred by gun violence. May the memories of those lost be for a blessing. Over and over, firearms threaten the safety of Americans. Commonsense gun reforms cannot wait.
