I have always felt that my neighbors have changed me for good 💙

Religious intolerance and hatred is never acceptable and we must commit to seeing each other as neighbors.

I applaud the interfaith support for these students and pleased that there is progress on the investigation into this horrible crime.

Democrats & Republicans in Florida agree: we must protect our coasts from oil drilling.

Our local economy, wildlife and coastal way of life depend on clean beaches, water and air. I urge President Trump to reverse this decision and Congress to immediately pass my Florida Coastal Protection Act.
Castor Blasts Trump Administration’s Illegal Plan to Open Florida’s Coast to Offshore Drilling

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.
President Trump wants to expand offshore oil and gas drilling across more than 1.2 billion acres of U.S. waters. Opening up California, the Gulf of Mexico, parts of Florida, and large areas of Alaska to drilling puts coastal economies, communities, and wildlife at risk.

No one wants to breathe dirty air and drink polluted water.

That's why I am joining my colleagues to introduce the 'Frack Pack', a set of bills that close loopholes used by the oil and gas industry to skirt key environmental and public health protections.

Americans want lower costs and a home they can afford with a utility bill that doesn't drain their wallet dry.

President Trump's priority is to change the definition of a shower head and fill his bathroom with gold.

This man is not working for you, only himself.

The American people deserve the truth and I stand firmly with the brave survivors.

Americans shouldn’t be forced to reapply for food assistance the week before Thanksgiving, but that’s exactly what Trump & Congressional Republicans are causing.

While they celebrate with billionaire donors--children, veterans and seniors are left wondering how they’ll afford a holiday meal.

On top of it all … Florida families, hospitals and businesses continue to urge Republicans to cancel the cuts, lower costs and save health care! www.wctv.tv/2025/11/13/m...

All because President Trump and Congressional Republicans wanted other avoid the Epstein Files and take a sledgehammer to your health care to pay for tax breaks for billionaires, our neighbors dealt with:

- Lapse in paychecks
- No food assistance
- Flight cancellations
- Delay in social security

Trump just pardoned Dan Wilson, a former Jan. 6 defendant, for a second time — this time on gun charges not related to his conduct during the Capitol riot.

The White House says Trump pardoned Wilson again because the gun charges stemmed from an investigation into him after Jan. 6.

A temper tantrum from a man who definitely had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein's crimes...

I’m standing with survivors to demand accountability!

My statement on Congressional Republicans’ unaffordable, partisan spending bill.
November 13, 2025 at 6:18 PM
Tax breaks for billionaires and now personal checks for Republican Senators all funded by your tax payer dollars.

It is outrageous.
November 13, 2025 at 5:39 PM
The American Dream means affordability for hardworking families.

When the Trump-Republican agenda puts special interests ahead of you, your savings take the hit.

That’s not policy. It’s sabotage.

Ghislaine Maxwell is an unrepentant child sex predator. So why would an American President even consider commuting her sentence? This would be a national disgrace.

@democrats-judiciary.house.gov want answers.

The whistleblower came forward with the information to Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee.
