I enjoyed hearing from people and learning about their life stories from the everyday to the extraordinary. From here on out, my tweets will be archived but the ideas I espoused will not. Cariños, Ily

The greatest honor of my professional life has been serving the people of #SouthFlorida in #Congress. Using @Twitter, I am proud to have been able to draw attention to #humanrights abuses in my native homeland of #Cuba as well as #Venezuela and #Nicaragua.

[Ileana Ros-Lehtinen @RosLehtinen]

For everything there is a season in life and my time on Twitter passes to history. There are elected officials and activists who will continue to advance their policy priorities on here. It is my hope they will work to return us to a more civil political discourse.

BREAKING: #EqualityAct has been reintroduced in the House. It's time to make enduring nondiscrimination protections for 13 million #LGBTQ Americans a reality.

Mi amiga, Marián, mil gracias por la invitación de estar en tu programa esta noche!

No comento mucho desde mi retiro del Congreso.

Gracias por mencionar a Dexter, mis padres, mis hermanos legislativos⁩, y los nuevos pinos nuevos.

Gracias a los votantes por darme este honor!

In my search to get the COVID-19 vaccine, I signed up to get Twitter and email notifications from Miami Dade County, public and private hospitals and every possible source of the vaccine.

I was persistent and got lucky!

Got both doses of Moderna vaccine and had no bad reaction!

Condolences to my former Chief of Staff, Maytee Sanz, for the passing of her Abuela, Yolanda Chamizo.

These past months have been tough on all of us.

Loss. Longing. Distance.

Grieving is not the same.

Maytee lost her Mom recently and now her Abuela.

Hard times.

92 heat index in Miami and -19 wind chill in Oklahoma City! About 120-130 degrees of “feels like” difference across the country this afternoon.

How can US policymakers hold those responsible for #Haiti’s election stalemate? @McCainInstitute’s Eddy Acevedo tells @Jacquiecharles of @MiamiHerald that the U.S. must pull visas plus support civil society, faith-based orgs, and constitutional reforms

Such a happy look through a very difficult, gut wrenching time, @KFILE.

Francesca was blessed to have you as her loving parents.

And your lives were more fulfilled by her sunshine.

Gracias for awareness and funds to help us all better understand pediatric cancer.

Wow!

What a lovely Valentine’s Day!

Getting my 2nd Moderna COVID vaccine at Tropical Park made me happier than chocolates and roses!

Dexter is still not off the hook, however.

[Ileana Ros-Lehtinen @RosLehtinen]

Alright, alright, alright!

Go, Chuckie, go!

Un placer conocer a Lourdes en ⁦@casacubamia⁩ que me contó como nuestra oficina Congressional ayudó a su esposo irse de la base de Guantanamo y llegar a Miami donde se al fin se pudo reunir con ella y sus hijos.

Amen.

Siempre tratamos de ayudar a tantas familia.

Gracias!

[Ileana Ros-Lehtinen @RosLehtinen]

Wowowowow!

Yippee! Hurrah!

My second Moderna vaccine 💉 will be injected into my left arm this Sunday morning at Tropical Park!

Amen!

It pays to be old! Finally!

I only have 24 hours to recover because Dexter and I teach our ⁦@univmiami⁩ class on Monday!

Humbled to be included in this list as a strong advocate for even better and stronger relations with Israel, our democratic partner.

We need more voices from Latin America espousing this view.

Saddened to hear of the unexpected passing of Miguel Fernández, the abuelo of my friend @keifer24. He was a good man who worked so his sons and nietos could prosper and live in a free country. Dexter and I send our deepest condolences and know his family will honor his legacy

[Mig Greengard 🇺🇸🇦🇷 @chessninja]

Of course. Vladimir is one of the good guys in more ways than one, and I'm happy he's still with us. (I also checked if the FSB team followed him to the US, because I was with him on a couple of DC visits! Here with @Kasparov63 & the great @RosLehtinen. (And Rosa Parks.))
