We are heartened to see that for the first time in 12 years, the U.S bishops issued a joint statement addressing the current situation impacting immigrants in our nation.
We thank @Pontifex for leading the way as the voice of the voiceless and for standing up for human dignity.
The Democratic Hispanic Caucus of Florida extends our heartfelt prayers and best wishes to Mayor Jerry Demings and his family following the news of his prostate cancer diagnosis. Mayor Demings has dedicated his life to serving the people of Florida with an unwavering commitment and resolve. Throughout his career, he has led with strength, always putting his community’s needs first. We have no doubt he will face this challenge with the same courage and resilience that have defined his public service. At this difficult time, we stand united in support of Mayor Demings, his wife Val, and his loved ones. We pray for a speedy recovery and for strength for his family in the days ahead. Today, we join Floridians across our state in lifting him up and standing with him every step of the way.
@OCFLMayor@valdemings
#TeamSoto is thinking of @OCFLMayor Demings during this difficult time. I am deeply grateful for our collaborations and his years of service to Orange County. Praying for his full recovery.

Yes, you are reading this right. Desantis used $1 BILLION of Florida tax payer money to build detention centers that were ultimately shut down.
Meanwhile, we are 50th in the nation for education funding, have an affordable housing crisis and kicking kids off of healthcare.
There it is.
The Florida House Speaker traded a gerrymandered congressional map in the middle of the decade for an Ambassadorship.
The culture of corruption is happening in plain sight.
Remember in November.
While the corrupt Trump administration and Republicans supporting it continue to line their pockets through their unprecedented grifting and misuse of taxpayers’ money, this is the reality Floridians are facing each day.
The #TrumpCrimeFamily and FL Republicans own this!
On Memorial Day, we honor our fallen heroes and the ultimate sacrifice made by our Armed Forces servicemen and women for our nation.
May we all keep striving to be worthy of it each day.

Wake up, America!
We had a nuclear agreement with Iran, but Trump blew it for “a better one,” and now YOU are paying the price.
Now he told you, “I don't think about Americans.”
Believe him. Your wallet is on the chopping block, not Iran.

Welcome to Trump’s inflation of choice, as consumer prices rose 3.8% in April, the highest since the post-pandemic world in May 2023.
And to all the “what about Joe Biden” trolls:
Biden didn't start COVID-19, but Trump did start the war in Iran.

We were honored to host FL U.S. Senate candidate Alex Vindman and to hear about his experiences in both civilian and military service, and about how he is ready to continue serving with courage, ethics, and honor at the core of his platform.

Today Florida Republicans will decide who is more important- the party or the people. DeSantis is demanding they violate the Florida Constitution. PARTISANSHIP MAPS IN FLORIDA ARE ILLEGAL.
The people won’t forget how you voted- that is a promise!
California and Virginia asked their people to vote on redrawing electoral maps.
The FL MAGA Republicans haven't asked us if we are ok with redrawing the maps they have gerrymandered for decades.
Sen. @CarlosGSmith nails it 👇🏻
#StopFloridaIllegalMaps
Gerrymander or Dummymander? This map is an absolutely unlawful violation of the Florida Constitution. The Legislature should reject it. The courts should strike it down.
That being said, there are 12+ seats that Democrats could still win under this map in this cycle.
@RepJeffries to FL Republicans:
“FAFO— They are gonna find themselves in the same situation as TX Republicans who are on the run and are dummy-mandering their way into the minority. They started this war, and we’re gonna finish it.”
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, MAGA!
We are ready for the fight!
@RepJeffries:
“If Florida Republicans proceed with this illegal scheme, they will only create more prime pick-up opportunities for Democrats, just as they did with Trump’s dummymander in Texas. We will aggressively target for defeat Mario Díaz-Balart, Maria Elvira Salazar, Carlos Giménez, Kat Cammack, Anna Paulina Luna, Laurel Lee, Cory Mills and Brian Mast. We are prepared to take them all on, and we are prepared to win.”
“Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.”
Another Trump-endorsed far-right extremist has fallen.
Watch Hungarians celebrate the loss of Viktor Orbán and cheer their next Prime Minister, Péter Magyar’s win.
Congratulations, Hungary, on crushing authoritarianism.
We will do the same in America in November!
