Today, we will vote to have the Trump Admin release all the Epstein Files—to deliver the truth, hold perpetrators accountable, and bring peace to survivors. FL must remain a place where our children are safe. We will not tolerate protecting predators in our state. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Trump got the U.S. Supreme Court to block SNAP benefits for millions of Americans, even though USDA had the money to pay them. He used hungry families as a bargaining chip for the shutdown. His cruelty knows no bounds. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

En #FL9, más de 275.000 personas están inscritas en Obamacare. Ahora, los costos están aumentando entre 200-300% o más debido a la inacción de los republicanos. Vamos a seguir trabajando para reducir los costos de la atención médica, de los alimentos y de la vivienda.

Yesterday, @housedemocrats.bsky.social stood united in fighting to lower healthcare costs for the American people. We will continue working together to lower healthcare, grocery, and housing costs, stop rampant corruption, and hold a lawless president accountable.

On #VeteransDay, we honor the tremendous courage & sacrifices of our nation’s veterans & their families. #TeamSoto joined events in St. Cloud, Lake Nona, & Poinciana to express our thanks. We are grateful to help local vets with healthcare, benefits cases, & more everyday! 🇺🇸

After nearly 40 years of breaking ceilings and blazing trails, Nancy Pelosi reminds us: Leadership isn’t about holding power—it’s about serving the people. I’m grateful to have worked with her on key issues impacting Central Florida and wish her every success in what’s ahead.

It’s time to #SaveObamacare, release SNAP benefits, and reopen the government! We visited Second Harvest to discuss the harmful impacts SNAP cuts are having on Central Florida families and the charitable organizations helping to fill the void.

Floridians are being crushed under rising healthcare, food, and housing costs. FL Republicans have been too focused on culture wars. This survey bucks their national narrative today. Saving Obamacare would make a big difference!

The American people spoke LOUD AND CLEAR on election night. They want us to lower rising costs. We can #SaveObamacare to lower healthcare costs, restart SNAP to help with groceries, and reopen the government right now! www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

More than 500K Central Floridians are getting hit HARD by Obamacare hikes this week. Their healthcare rates are rising 200% to 300% or more. Republicans would rather keep the government closed than lower their healthcare costs. We must do better. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/02/h...

We recently met with constituents hit hard by HUGE hikes to Obamacare: 💬 Carol’s cost is jumping from $52 → $900/month 💬 Stan’s family faces a 400% hike—from $514 → $2,269 💬 Many of Wyel’s clients will go uninsured next year We must save Obamacare & reopen the government.

#HurricaneMelissa was the strongest hurricane to make landfall in Jamaica. Millions of lives will be uprooted. This is close to home for many Caribbean Americans. I led a letter to the Dept of State with @reppablojose.bsky.social & others urging U.S. disaster relief for DR, Cuba, Bahamas, & more.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social were in DC this week working to stop a HUGE healthcare hike for millions of Americans on November 1. Republicans have stayed home for five weeks straight. We stand with federal workers and are ready to reopen the government.

I joined @repjahanahayes.bsky.social, @repangiecraig.bsky.social, and 211 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in sending a letter to @usdagov.bsky.social Secretary Rollins urging the agency to use contingency reserve dollars to fund SNAP during the government shutdown. 42M children & families are at risk.

Trump’s billionaire ballroom will rival the size of the White House itself. What a gilded abomination!

Thank you to nearly 10,000 constituents who joined our Save Obamacare Tele-Town Hall. I remain hard at work to stop a HUGE healthcare hike of 75% or more to Obamacare for 271,000+ constituents and end the #RepublicanShutdown.

🚨OBAMACARE TELE-TOWN HALL: We must extend the Premium Tax Credit, save Obamacare for 271K constituents (second-most in the nation), and re-open the government. Watch live ⬇️ www.facebook.com/RepDarrenSot...

Met with members of the CF AFL-CIO alongside Rep. Maxwell Frost. We had an important discussion about fighting to stop the GOP Healthcare Crisis, saving Obamacare, & reopening the government. We heard their concerns & reaffirmed our commitment to standing with them during this challenging time.

While Republicans refuse to return to Washington to address the health care crisis, House Democrats are holding a hearing today on the need to cancel the cuts, lower the cost and save your health care.   WATCH the hearing right now: www.youtube.com/live/70dGirP...

Since Republicans are on vacation, here are some things they can do with their free time: - Explain why they prioritized raising health care costs - Tell any federal workers they encounter why they won't be getting paychecks - Get back to DC to keep the government open

Republicans are going to let tax credits that make health care more affordable for millions of working families EXPIRE. Republicans are attacking health care. Democrats are fighting to protect it.

Instead of protecting health care, House Republicans are ripping it away. Instead of trying to reopen the government, House Republicans are on vacation. Instead of putting the American people first, House Republicans are prioritizing billionaires and wealthy corporations. Enough is enough.

House Republicans are responsible for: - The largest cut to Medicaid in American history - An unprecedented health care crisis - An ongoing government shutdown It’s time they get serious about fixing the mess they’ve made.

We visited AdventHealth in Kissimmee to hear firsthand about how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) helps many local residents access quality care. They made it clear: Cuts to Obamacare would harm patients, lead to a spike in emergency visits by the uninsured, and put local hospitals in fiscal distress.

I met with #FL9 constituents who are concerned about proposed Obamacare cuts. One mother fears that her daughter, who is battling cancer, may lose her job and her coverage. Another, a healthcare agent, has seen premiums rise for her clients drastically in 2026.

23.4 million Americans will see a HUGE Obamacare spike on November 1. In #FL9, we have the SECOND-HIGHEST Obamacare enrollment in the nation, with over 271k constituents. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are prepared to negotiate, protect healthcare, and reopen the government for the American people.

We met with local DoD, VA, TSA, & Social Security federal workers from AFGE to hear about how this shutdown is impacting their families, their paychecks, & their ability to serve our communities.

🚨4.6 MILLION Floridians are at risk of HUGE Obamacare healthcare hikes starting November 1, including over 271,000 in #FL9. Republicans must come to the table and negotiate to stop the #GOPHealthcareCrisis and reopen the government.

Thank you to the 7,000+ constituents who joined our Save Obamacare Tele-Town Hall. I remain up in Washington to stop a HUGE healthcare hike of 75% or more to Obamacare for 271,000+ constituents and end the #RepublicanShutdown. ➡️ www.facebook.com/share/v/1FkPTDGv1S/?mibextid=wwXIfr

As we continue pushing forward with innovation & automotives, it is critical that we keep AM radio alive. In times of severe weather, Central Floridians have relied time and time again on this tool to get up-to-date alerts. Proud to work on this issue in @energycommerce.bsky.social.

The U.S. Department of Justice works for the American people, not Trump. They are protected by law from his political retribution. But will they stand up to him?

The Trump family gets richer. The American people get poorer. Are you paying attention yet?

Congrats to @ucf.bsky.social for achieving⁩ 'preeminent' university status! We’re particularly grateful for your tremendous progress on graduation rates & new funding that may now be available. Go #SpaceU! 🚀 www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/09/22/u...

Colbert = CANCELED❌ Kimmel = CANCELED❌ This is a direct attack on the First Amendment just because Trump doesn't like what they have to say. In @energycommerce.bsky.social, we're calling for an FCC oversight hearing to review this extortion by the Trump Admin & Corrupt Carr.

We had an incredible day on Capitol Hill with the USO. Honored to join them in assembling 2,000 care packages for our deployed service members—offering them a meaningful connection to home while they serve far from their families. Thank you for defending our freedom. 🇺🇸

At the CHCI 48th Annual Awards Gala, we had the honor of recognizing Pedro Brull, an award-winning Puerto Rican artist, and his “Diaspora Boricua: A Florida Rican Art Movement.” His group beautifully captures Puerto Rican culture and the Florida diaspora. 🇺🇸🇵🇷

Trump’s economy is tanking because of tariffs, corruption, and mass deportations. His solution: Hide the numbers.

This week, I had the honor as Chair to host the CHCI 48th Annual Awards Gala. 🎉 CHCI is helping young Hispanic fellows and interns with opportunities to work in Washington. These inspiring young people show us the future is bright! (1/3)

Had an informative Congressional Modeling & Simulation Caucus "Lunch and Learn" on the use of AI, data fidelity, and digital twins. We're working together to better train our military, save money, and strengthen jobs at places like UCF Tech Park.

House Democrats make our first offer. 📝 Protect healthcare. Lower costs. Keep the government open.

🗞️EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT: A huge healthcare hike is coming on November 1 if Republicans don't join Democrats to extend the Premium Tax Credit in the budget. In @energycommerce.bsky.social, I urged my colleagues to come together to keep Obamacare affordable.

Corrupt Carr can’t cancel Kimmel. ❌ He’s threatening licenses and holding back mergers to silence free speech. This aggression will not stand, man.

We had a great two days at the #CHCI2025 Leadership Conference! I had the chance to speak about the importance of Latino representation—in the arts, finance, civil rights, and beyond—and the need to expand opportunities for younger Latinos to thrive.

It was an honor to attend the FLARA Annual Meeting to show my support for the senior community. We discussed how we are working to protect Social Security & veterans’ benefits, as well as stop cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare in the #BigUglyLaw.

I was honored to receive recognition from My Voice Counts for my commitment to forward-looking immigration policies. 🇺🇸🇻🇪 As we work together on the Venezuelan Adjustment Act, we are also advocating against recent mass deportations and challenges to Venezuela's TPS designation.

We welcomed Orlando Health to our DC office to discuss the needs of local hospitals to continue serving patients. It is critical for us to stop Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare cuts, expand access to tele-health, and protect the 340B program & at-home services.

Had an informative Congressional Modeling & Simulation Caucus "Lunch and Learn" on use of AI, data fidelity, and digital twins. We're working together to better train our military, save money, and strengthen jobs at places like UCF tech park.

In @energycommerce.bsky.social, we heard from police & emergency responders from across the country about the importance of FirstNet, emergency broadcast systems, and the need for bipartisan solutions to enhance public safety technology. We must come together to protect our communities.
