Trump’s disastrous war has put our troops in danger. Now he’s sending their loved ones to ICE jails. Military families deserve gratitude and support, not cruelty. And the people defending our freedom shouldn't have their families' freedom ripped away.

I'm so relieved my constituent Claudia, who was detained by ICE, is back with her family. I was proud to help spotlight her case, but 300,000 Florida families who lost TPS face the same horror she did. I’ll always fight to keep them safe.

I called on the Trump Administration to reverse course on their change to the Endangered Species Act that let Big Oil threaten Florida's endangered species, like our manatees and panthers. I won't let them come for our wildlife without a fight.

Kay Granger blazed many trails, across Texas and as the first Republican woman to lead the House Appropriations Committee. I’m fortunate to have served along side her, and to have a front row seat to the quiet grace and confidence that inspired others to follow her lead.

Whether it’s fighting Trump's costly tariffs or protecting Social Security and Medicare, I stand up for our seniors. Glad to join seniors at The Preserve at Palm Aire to share the work I do.

Once again, Trump makes life more unaffordable. Trump’s refusal to hold down Medicare premiums will saddle seniors with higher healthcare costs, and I’ll fight to reverse it. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Program that held down premiums won’t be renewed for 2027, resulting in higher costs for some seniors.

The Trump Administration changed rules to let Big Oil threaten Florida's endangered species, like our manatees and panthers. I'm fighting back. They must reverse course.

Yesterday, I spoke to Claudia, a constituent who's detained by ICE. She lawfully moved here and recently earned her master’s degree. Claudia and countless other law-abiding immigrants came here to make a better life for themselves. They don't deserve to be locked up for that.

I just made a surprise oversight inspection of another Broward ICE facility, where I spoke to Claudia, a constituent who's detained there despite a clean record. Stories like Claudia’s and so many others must lead to action. Here's what I heard, and what I'm doing about it: 🧵

Loved seeing a screening of Inside the Oasis: The Story of South Florida's Gay Mecca. It honors Broward's LGBTQ+ community and their sacrifices in the fight for equality. I'm so proud to represent one of the boldest, most vibrant, diverse LGBTQ+ communities in the nation.

Republicans talk a big game about supporting our troops, but choose to fund Trump vanity projects rather than invest more in housing or childcare for our military. Supporting our troops means ensuring they and their families have what they need, not buying new "toys" to name after Trump.

In another handout to corporations, Trump made it easier for them to cash in at the expense of at-risk wildlife. I led @usrepkathycastor.bsky.social, @repdarrensoto.bsky.social, & @frost.house.gov to demand the Admin reverse course & protect Florida's manatees, panthers, & other endangered species.

TPS for Haiti expires today, meaning ICE will aim to round up 2,000 law-abiding Haitians per day. This costly effort to rip good people from their jobs and families is cruel, inhumane, and destructive to Florida’s economy. We must work together to protect our Haitian neighbors.

Hegseth has repeatedly singled out officers who are women and people of color. He threw out merit-based promotions in favor of political bias and discrimination. But Republicans don't seem to care.

This morning, I met with immigration law experts and community leaders to discuss my new TPS reform bill and how we can best protect our Haitian neighbors and other TPS recipients from the looming ICE assault. We need to look out for each other.

Ecstatic to join Alonzo Mourning, Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy & @browardschools.bsky.social to announce that OYC will bring its proven, holistic model for family & child success to Broward County. This is the nutrition, tutoring, STEM & arts education, & support system that Broward kids deserve.

The Supreme Court allowed Trump to rip away legal status from Haitians, subject them to ICE brutality, and send them and their U.S. citizen children to dangerous conditions in Haiti. I'll fight to keep law-abiding families together and protect our Haitian neighbors from harm.

I just filed the TPS Review Act to restore checks and balances and stop Trump's lawless, racist assault on our Haitian and Venezuelan neighbors. Law-abiding people shouldn't have their legal status ripped away without their day in court. We must fight to keep families together.

@wassermanschultz.house.gov and I led the entire House Democratic Caucus in demanding the administration reverse these changes that would make it harder for cancer patients and survivors to access critical care.

32 years ago, an Iran-backed attack killed 85 people & injured hundreds at the AMIA Jewish Center in Argentina. I filed a resolution with fellow Latino-Jewish Caucus co-chairs & Argentina Caucus leaders to honor victims' memories & demand the justice their families deserve.

FIU's attempt to muzzle silent protest of ICE sets a dangerous precedent as a gross violation of our Constitution and FIU's own rules. I called on FIU to rescind these forced-confession punishments and restore its reputation for rigorous speech and debate.

I just signed the discharge petition for @sylviagarcia.house.gov's bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act to provide a real pathway to citizenship for law-abiding immigrants. Our immigration system is broken. We need a real path to citizenship for those who've earned it.

My bipartisan EARLY Act with @wassermanschultz.house.gov has PASSED the House! Detecting cancer earlier saves lives. This bill maintains outreach initiatives that help women understand their risks and get the tools they need to beat cancer. I’m proud to keep EARLY going & saving women’s lives 🩷👏🏼

So proud that my EARLY Act passed the House to help young women and those at higher risk catch breast cancer early, and improve their chances of beating it. As a breast cancer survivor, I know firsthand that early detection saves lives.

Trump welcomes white South Africans as refugees, but blocks assistance for Afro-Colombians and rips legal status and work permits from law-abiding Haitians. He has no problem giving certain groups special treatment, as long as they're white.

The Cuban regime holds hundreds of political prisoners who dared to question the regime on July 11, 2021. They must be freed unconditionally. Proud to have partners like Carolina Barrero with us in the fight to deliver Cubans from brutality, repression, and corruption.

Six years ago, we lost my mentor and friend, Rep. John Lewis. He wasn’t just a lawmaker, he was a brave freedom fighter who led and tutored the next generation of civil rights and social justice activists.
