I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Republicans are putting 17 million lives at risk in their “Big Beautiful Bill.”
These are more than just numbers. These are real people who deserve to live a life without worrying they will go broke if they need health care.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week.
Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser
This is the United States of America under the Trump regime.
PADILLA: “If this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.”

This is the United States of America under the Trump regime.
“… the closest this nation has come to such a definition of rebellion was when Mr. Trump’s own supporters (whom he incited, then mostly pardoned) sacked the U.S. Capitol in 2021.”

This unnecessary move only inflames tensions and does nothing to protect us and our rights — the military does not belong in our communities.
