Medicare Open Enrollment is here! Visit Medicare.gov to apply and enroll for health insurance coverage until December 7.
I just joined @fredguttenberg.bsky.social to announce the reintroduction of Jaime's Law, a bill named after his daughter, which would make background checks for buying ammunition mandatory.

By closing this loophole, we'll be able to save lives.

Thanks to @ncjw.bsky.social for stopping by to recognize Repro Shabbat this week! And thanks for the delicious challah!

Reproductive freedom is a Jewish value — one that I'll never stop fighting for.

Today, Trump lifted virtually all sanctions on Venezuelan oil. There goes our “massive leverage” to push for democracy.

The regime keeps power with Trump's backing. The oil barons who prop them up get richer.

Ordinary Venezuelans and Americans get screwed. Art of the deal.

Trump tariffs suck nearly $2000 from average US family budgets.

So Democrats just forced and won a House vote to make life more affordable, and end Trump's Canada tariffs.

But we're not done. We'll keep fighting to lower the sky-high costs Republicans refuse to confront.

Proud to join @safekidsworldwide.bsky.social to launch the Congressional Children's Safety Caucus!

Nothing is more important than the safety of our children. I’ll always work to tackle water safety and other bipartisan initiatives that protect children.

Costs are way too high and the American Dream is out of reach for far too many.

Over 42,000 Floridians filed for bankruptcy in 2025, a 20% spike. Families need real solutions.

This Affordability Agenda offers a realistic way to lower costs and renew the American Dream.
Proud to present the New Dem Affordability Agenda.

A clear, commonsense plan for how Congress can make life more affordable for all Americans.

Florida's workers need more jobs with good pay and benefits.

Glad to meet with @UAW.org workers from Florida to discuss partnering to guarantee fair wages, support job security, and ensure access to quality healthcare.

I'll keep fighting to protect the right to organize.

A true pleasure to join the AFGE National VA Council to talk to the critical federal workers who care for our veterans at VA.

I fight every day to ensure VA has the resources needed to properly serve veterans, but I can't do any of it without AFGE members' hard work caring for our nation's heroes.

Venezuela's regime re-arrested several political prisoners, denied any plans for elections, and used gangs to violently shut down protests.

Instead of doing anything about it, Trump is making more oil deals with this corrupt regime. This was never about democracy.
Venezuela's top prosecutor orders the arrest of opposition leader's ally, hours after his release
Venezuela's top prosecutor says his office has requested the arrest of Juan Pablo Guanipa, a close ally of opposition leader María Corina Machado.

USDA's Inspector General can't be trusted to be an independent watchdog over vital food and nutrition assistance programs.

When @democrats-appropriations.house.gov questioned him last week, it was obvious his political bias and Project 2025 work are still an issue.

Housing in South Florida is way too expensive.

That's why I'll proudly vote for a bill tonight that will lead to more affordable homes and apartments, less red tape, and more tenant protections.

We can't stop here. Congress must keep working to make life more affordable.

We love our veterans in South Florida!💌

I stopped by the Miami VA Medical Center today to give out valentines made by students from Hollywood Central Prep to show our appreciation for their service and sacrifice. #ValentinesForVeterans

A Project 2025 advisor is now the USDA's new Inspector General.

He's clearly not the independent watchdog we need as USDA adopts the Project 2025 playbook by cutting funds for schools and food banks to buy meals and local produce, hurting kids in Broward and nationwide.

Great to join the Cooper City Senior Lifestyle Expo!

My office helps seniors with issues like Medicare and Social Security, and I do all I can to protect and expand these critical programs in Congress.

It was wonderful to join the Urban League Cultural Festival and celebrate our amazing, vibrant creativity community.

Urban League understands our progress is built up by empowering communities, opening doors, and insisting that dignity and opportunity belongs to everyone.

USDA illegally withheld food assistance from Minnesota, while ignoring Republican-run states with higher error rates.

USDA's Inspector General — a position that's supposed to be independent — couldn't commit to investigating this political bias when I pushed him to.

ICE is brutalizing our communities.

Americans are losing healthcare.

Life is unaffordable.

Great to join American Legion National Commander Dan Wiley to discuss how I can best support veterans’ physical & mental health.

As Ranking Member of the @democrats-appropriations.house.gov Military Construction & VA subcommittee, I always work to improve the lives of veterans & servicemembers.

Trump’s attacks on collective bargaining are hurting law enforcement in Florida. I'll always defend these critical rights and fight for better pay and benefits for workers.

Great talking to AFGE Local 506 about how to best support Florida’s public servants.

After October 7, I shared photos of every Israeli hostage outside my office as a reminder of the need to bring them home.

Now that the remains of Ran Gvili, the last hostage in Gaza, are returned, I can finally take their pictures down. Their stories will never be forgotten.

It’s World Cancer Day, and as a survivor, I know how critical access to quality healthcare can be.

My EARLY and Reducing Hereditary Cancer Acts fill gaps in coverage and education to ensure we catch cancer early and improve chances to beat it.

Inspiring to meet University of Florida's student government leaders and hear what moves them, from campus safety to college affordability.

I know they'll do great things! #GoGators

Republicans’ assault on TPS would criminalize hundreds of thousands of lawful immigrants overnight. It harms our economy, healthcare, childcare & more.

I’m glad a federal judge ruled to protect TPS for Haiti, but the fight isn't over. I'll keep working to protect our community.

I voted against today's government funding package on the House floor because there are tens of thousands of law-abiding people in my district who Trump’s ICE and CBP endanger every day.
