@mcbride.house.gov is right. It’s hard enough being a kid — and politicians don’t need to make it harder. Thank you, Congresswoman, for speaking out against the cruel Republican attacks on health care for trans youth.

While Gov. DeSantis has failed to tackle Florida’s housing and healthcare affordability crisis, he has changed the law about your vehicle license plate frame. Not all license plate frames are illegal, but the rules did change. Here’s how to stay compliant and avoid a citation.

Trump just brazenly lied about healthcare. This corporate tool has done everything for the benefit of insurance executives and nothing for the wellbeing of Americans who need health care. Now, he's blaming his political opponents of the premium spikes his policies are causing.

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

Trump is selling out Floridians to boost the profits of Big Oil donors. Floridians strongly oppose drilling off Florida’s Gulf Coast - it’s too risky to our economy and way of life. BTW, it’s an illegal maneuver- Biden Admin adopted a permanent protection that can’t be rolled back.
