I am proud to announce that my team delivered over $24.4M in aid, benefits and refunds to veterans, seniors, small businesses, and families in 2025.

Additionally, $1.6B in federal grants were secured for disaster assistance, veterans' support services, early childhood and public transportation.

What a Scrooge!

High electric bills already are crushing Americans - up over 13% this year. Now Trump and Republicans are making it worse with their illegal and arbitrary sabotage. 🥜🥜🥜
Insane! While pushing offshore oil and gas drilling all around the US, including off both FL and CA where no body wants it, Trump Administration is pausing wind projects off MA, RI, NY, & VA. Even oil shill Erik Milito thinks this a bad idea.

Last night, Trump claimed the economy has never been better and the cost of living is down.
 
Electric bills are up 13% this year. Every major utility in Florida is increasing their rates in 2025 and 2026. Does he think we don't notice?

Speaker Johnson’s health care plan is a charade.

Urgent update.

Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.

Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

People of all backgrounds and faiths deserve to live in peace.

I 🙏 that we can find light in the darkness on Hanukkah’s first night and in the days ahead 🕎
I am heartbroken by the tragedy fueled by antisemitism in Sydney on Hanukkah 💔

That unspeakable act comes on the heels of the senseless targeting of students yesterday at Brown U. Gun violence is a scourge that we must address with urgency.

That's why I am reintroducing my bipartisan Promoting Resources to Expand Vaccination, Education and New Treatments for HPV Cancers Act, to raise public awareness about how our neighbors can prevent cancer and save lives.

Nothing is funny about having not knowing if you can pay for your groceries, rent and medications for the month.

But Trump says Americans are doing great and mocked the cost of living crisis?

Give us a break.

It is always the people who fly privately who have the most ridiculous ideas to 'improve' our air travel experience.

Maybe we should focus on fixing one of the oldest air traffic control tower in the country at the Tampa International Airport.

Travelers *literally* depend on that.
Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."
