Our veterans risked everything for us; we owe them more than broken promises. Trump’s move to end union contracts for VA workers is a slap in the face to those who take care of our veterans when they come home. www.cnn.com/2025/08/06/p...

60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act became law with overwhelming bipartisan support. It opened the doors of democracy to millions. Today, we are seeing that the right to democracy is not guaranteed. As some try to drag us backward, we'll keep pushing forward.

They’re not hiding it anymore. Republicans want to hand Social Security over to Wall Street and betray the promise Americans pay into their whole lives. So much for keeping their word. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/b...

Medicare and Medicaid turn 60 today. They help millions of Americans, including around 500,000 in Palm Beach County, get the health care they need. These programs are a promise that Republicans are trying to break, but @housedemocrats.bsky.social will always fight to protect.

House Republicans and the Trump administration are cutting funding for Sesame Street--a show that’s taught generations of children about kindness, empathy, and friendship. Maybe they should’ve tuned in! Our kids deserve better.

This bill doesn’t just reduce funding—it marks a dangerous turn toward indifference, isolation, and the betrayal of our global responsibilities. It heads to the House today, where I'll be speaking out against it. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

Happy birthday to my dear friend and colleague, @whipkclark.bsky.social! 🎂🎁🎉 From the Massachusetts State Legislature to U.S. House leadership, you have always been an unwavering advocate for women, children, and families. Our country is a better place thanks to you!

Too many troubling stories have come out about women in ICE and CBP custody, including pregnant women denied maternal health care. I've joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social to demand that the Dept. of Homeland Security investigate the abuse and medical neglect of women in their custody.

Trump promised to lower costs, but his first 6 months have done the opposite. Trump’s Tariffs are raising prices, hurting workers and businesses. And Republicans’ Big Ugly Law will drive up health care, grocery, and energy costs even more. Americans deserve better. www.ft.com/content/65b1...

Trump's assault on the government continues, and it's our kids who pay the price. We'll keep fighting for every child to have a fair chance at success. apnews.com/article/supr...

Trump is illegally withholding billions from public schools—including over $30M in total for the Palm Beach County School District and Boys & Girls Club. Congress approved this funding to support afterschool care, teacher training, academic programs, and more.

As we mark three years since Trump's Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Republicans are now using their Big, Ugly Bill to push us closer to a nationwide abortion ban, jeopardizing access to all obstetric care in their wake. www.wptv.com/wptv-investi...

3 years since Trump's supreme court overturned Roe, and Florida's 6-week abortion ban continues putting women's lives at risk. Women, not politicians or judges, should be free to make their own health care decisions. @HouseDemocrats will keep fighting to protect that right.

With Florida home to the largest diaspora of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, the Trump Administration’s decision to end the humanitarian parole program is a slap in the face to thousands of families seeking freedom from violence and authoritarianism. It’s reckless and cruel.

When America retreats from the world, China and Russia fill that void. The cuts to U.S. foreign assistance in Trump’s recissions package undercut key American national security interests and risk our country’s safety and prosperity. I voted NO.

A sitting U.S. Senator was forcibly removed and handcuffed because he asked questions at a PUBLIC press conference. Trump's Administration is attempting to silence anyone who dares to speak up against them. This is not what democracy looks like. This is what dictators do.

Nine years since the senseless, horrific mass shooting at Pulse, the heartbreak of that night still echoes across Florida and the LGBTQI+ community. As we remember the victims today, we reaffirm our commitment to combating hate and ending the gun violence epidemic.

President Trump is spending $45 million of your money on a military birthday parade—for himself. Not for our Veterans. Not for readiness. For himself. Here’s what we could do with $45 million instead of Trump’s military birthday parade 🧵⬇️

Is he kidding?! Ron DeSantis says it’s okay to run over protestors. That’s not keeping people safe—it’s inciting violence.

As Chair Emerita, I join the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social to mark the 62nd anniversary of the Equal Pay Act since becoming law. Today, we renew our commitment to fight for the equal pay, workplace protections, and economic security that all women deserve.

Trump and House Republicans are turning their backs on our Veterans with reckless VA cuts that threaten the care and benefits of those who served. TODAY at 3 PM ET, watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight back as we debate next year's budget: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yMp...

As antisemitism continues to rage, I'm proud to have led the effort in Congress to rename the Delray Post Office after Ben Ferencz, who was the last living prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials. A longtime Kings Point resident, he dedicated his life to speaking out against hate.

RFK told us directly that we shouldn't take medical advice from him, and now he's fired every expert on the scientific committee that reviews and recommends vaccines for the public. He's putting the health of every American at risk on the basis of conspiracy theories.

Trump promised to fight waste, fraud, and abuse. Yet, $12M worth of lifesaving HIV-prevention and contraceptive medication is collecting dust in warehouses and set to be destroyed like garbage, while the world’s most vulnerable are left to suffer. This is cruel and immoral.

On this 81st anniversary of D-Day, we honor the thousands of brave Americans who charged into danger on the shores of Normandy to defend democracy around the world. Their heroism shaped the world we live in today, and we will never forget the price they paid for our freedoms.

After months of agony, the bodies of Gadi and Judi Haggai, an Israeli-American couple Hamas brutally murdered and held hostage since October 7, have been recovered. I’m holding their loved ones close in my heart as they find the strength to lay Gadi and Judi to rest.

Always good to catch up with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and hear about the important work they’re doing in Palm Beach County. We went over efforts to protect our beaches, prevent flooding, and keep our drinking water clean and safe.

Jordan is a vital and reliable U.S. security partner in the Middle East, including in efforts to advance stability and combat terrorism across the region. Great to meet with Ambassador Dina Kawar of Jordan to discuss how we can continue strengthening our partnership. 🇺🇸🇯🇴

Trump’s "big, beautiful bill" will add $2.4 trillion to the national debt. Don’t take my word for it—Congress’s nonpartisan budget experts just said so. A disgusting abomination, indeed.

I’m deeply honored to join the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's Holocaust Memorial Council and help carry forward its mission to keep the lessons of the Holocaust alive. At a time when antisemitism is surging at alarming levels, it is our duty to stand united against hate in all its forms.

Trump’s latest move? Letting ERs deny abortion care, even in emergencies. Outrageous, dangerous, and cruel.

We now know the horrifying attack in Boulder was an antisemitic hate crime—targeting Jewish people peacefully marching to raise awareness of hostages still held by Hamas. I again condemn this vile act of terror, demand full accountability, and hold the victims in my heart.

I know many of you are feeling anxious, angry, and overwhelmed by the chaos coming out of the Trump Administration. I’ve launched a page on my website to keep you informed on how I’m fighting back and holding the President accountable. Check it out ⬇️

This order targets immigrants who followed all the rules, passed background checks, and earned permits to work and contribute to our communities. This doesn't make our country safer or more prosperous, it just punishes legal immigrants trying to live their lives. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

It’s been 600 days since Hamas’s horrific attack on Israel. 58 innocent people, including 4 Americans, are still being held hostage in unbearable conditions. We will not give up, we will not rest, until all of the remaining hostages return home. #BringThemHomeNow 🎗️

Eliminating investments in a bird flu vaccine won't lower the cost of eggs, and it won't stop this disease from spreading. Secretary Kennedy should follow science, not conspiracies.

UNICEF gives hope to the world’s most vulnerable children and strengthens our global alliances through lifesaving assistance. It was great to welcome UNICEF’s DC office to discuss the urgent need to protect funding for these vital programs #ForEveryChild.

Another busy week fighting for you in Congress. Take a look at what I’ve been working on to push back against the Trump Administration’s reckless, illegal policies and protect the programs working families depend on. ⬇️

A child’s ability to learn is shaped by so many factors, including being well fed and staying healthy. But Trump and House Republicans are attacking it all. They're pushing a cruel bill to rip food and health care from millions of Americans, including 50,000 in our district.

At today’s hearing with Secretary of Education McMahon, I laid out my priorities for our education budget. That includes stopping efforts to gut the Office for Civil Rights, which addresses all forms of discrimination in our schools, and supporting student Veterans and vital loan programs.

When we turn our back on the world and people are left hungry, uneducated, and afraid for their future, what happens next? They turn to whoever offers help, whether that’s China or an armed terrorist group. Watch my remarks from today’s Appropriations hearing with Secretary Marco Rubio ⬇️

Gerry Connolly was a kind and effective leader who spent his life working to make our country better. I’m keeping his loved ones in my thoughts. May his memory be a blessing.

The Trump Administration’s reckless move to slash nearly $2.5B in public health funding to Florida will make our communities less healthy and leave more children vulnerable to illness. My fellow Florida Democrats and I called on the President to restore these vital programs.

My, my, my. The GOP Tax Scam hurts everyday Americans by making the largest cut to nutrition assistance in our history and kicking nearly 14 million off their health care. All so Trump and House Republicans can reward their billionaire buddies with another massive tax cut.

Members of Congress have a Constitutional, legal, and moral responsibility to conduct robust oversight of the Executive Branch. @housedemocrats.bsky.social stand with Rep. McIver. We will not be intimidated by Donald Trump and his cronies – not today and not ever.

Venezuelans are fleeing a brutal regime, hunger, and violence. Today’s Republican-led SCOTUS decision clearing the way for the Trump Administration to end TPS for 350,000 people—including thousands who call South Florida home—is cruel, dangerous, and puts lives at risk.

Trump and House Republicans' tax bill kicks nearly 14 million people off their health care and takes food out of the mouths of millions of Americans. All to hand another massive tax break to their billionaire donors. Headed back to Washington to fight this bad, ugly bill.

Every child deserves to grow up healthy and well-fed. I stood with local leaders to fight back against Trump’s $1.5 billion cut to school meals and food banks, including programs serving working families in Palm Beach County, all to hand tax breaks to his billionaire buddies.
