Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

THANK YOU to the heroic men and women of @MiamiDadeFire for fighting these blazes and protecting our fellow Floridians.

We are forever grateful to those who run towards the danger when others run away from it.

To those in the vicinity, please stay alert and heed all directions from local government and emergency officials. https://t.co/jzey0JL4vd

Floridians DON’T deserve to see their tax dollars go to give an antisemite a megaphone.

Kayne West’s concert at Raymond James Stadium is an INSULT to our Jewish Community and our taxpayers.

I have a petition on this. Make your voice heard. https://t.co/yIIDPDjZTQ

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

With Hurricane Season coming up, it’s important for you and your family to have a plan and stay safe. Floridians know all too well how dangerous hurricanes and flooding can be.

Thank you to @RepCarlos, @NHC_Atlantic, and all the community leaders who joined me in Miami today to discuss hurricane preparedness.

Today's criminal indictment of Raul Castro was signed by two Cuban-Americans: @USAReding & @JudgeYara.

I am incredibly proud of them for leading this pursuit of justice that is so personal and meaningful to me and everyone in the Cuban-American community. 👏

Protests broke out across the Cuban capital of Havana as the city confronted its worst rolling blackouts in decades amid a U.S. blockade that has starved the island of fuel https://t.co/EDhaEqxJFR

Your 90-year-old grandmother could put on 174% more leg strength in 8 weeks of weight training. Doctors proved it in 1990 by running ten nursing home residents (ages 86 to 96) through high-intensity strength sessions. Their walking speed climbed 48% and their muscle size grew 9%.

They ran it again four years later, on 100 frail residents whose average age was 87. Strength climbed 113% in 10 weeks, and the oldest participant was 98 years old. Even at 90, the body still builds new muscle. It just needs the signal.

Without that signal, your muscle starts shrinking around age 30. You lose 3 to 5 percent every decade until 60, then twice that much per decade after. By 80, somewhere between 1 in 10 and 1 in 2 adults have lost so much muscle they struggle to open a jar or stand up from a chair. Doctors call this sarcopenia. Most of what looks like "getting old" (trouble standing, weak grip, falls, frailty) is actually this one process.

A UK study tracked 845 people past their 85th birthday for nearly ten years. One of the cleanest predictors of who'd still be alive at the end was how hard they could squeeze a grip meter. Women losing 1 kilogram (about 2.2 pounds) of grip strength a year had a 33% higher chance of dying. For people whose grip strength went UP, yes even after 85, the death rate dropped 31%.

In a US study of 216,339 older adults, any weight training cut overall death rates by 6% and heart disease deaths by 8%. A 15-year follow-up of older Americans who lifted weights twice a week (the official guideline almost no one follows) found 46% lower odds of dying.

And then the falls. If you're 65 or older and you break a hip, around 27% of you die within the year. Ten years out, only 8.5% of hip fracture patients are still alive, compared to about 40% of people who didn't break one. Strength training does two things at once. It prevents most falls in the first place. And it builds enough bone density to survive the ones that still happen.

Taiwan officially became a super-aged society this January. One in five Taiwanese is now 65 or older. They got there in 7 years, while Japan took 11 and Germany took 36. Of all the things Taiwan could be throwing at this, putting 89-year-old grandmothers in front of a barbell might be the cheapest, most evidence-backed thing on the list.

This is a HUGE step towards getting accountability for the atrocities committed by this evil regime and keeping the American people safe from it. I’m grateful to see President Trump taking action after the letter I sent him last week to impose secondary sanctions.

@POTUS’ Executive Order also enacts the intent of my DEMOCRACIA Act which Congress still needs to take up, pass, and codify so no future administration can undo them.

Communist Cuba WILL FALL. We will NEVER stop fighting until ALL political prisoners are released and there is FREEDOM in Cuba. 🇺🇸🇨🇺

[Nora Gámez Torres @ngameztorres]

#Cuba jailed Jonathan Muir Burgos, the 16-year-old son of an evangelical pastor, in an adult maximum-security prison for joining a protest. Young Christian influencers have also become the latest target for #Cuba’s feared state security agency.

Alexander Díaz Rodríguez is a human being. We can NEVER stop fighting for the countless political prisoners being held and tortured by the evil Castro/Díaz-Canel regime.

The fact that Democrats side with a Communist dictator in Cuba that does THIS, is DISGUSTING! I won’t give up until ALL political prisoners are RELEASED and there is a FREE CUBA! 🇺🇸🇨🇺

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

DON’T look away!

When Democrats virtue signal for the Castro/Díaz-Canel regime, they are supporting what Communist Cuba is doing to innocent political prisoners like Alexander Díaz Rodríguez.

Democrats should be ASHAMED for putting on a show in the Senate while we’re fighting EVERYDAY to free innocent Cubans from starvation and torture. We will NEVER stop fighting for FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY in Cuba. 🇺🇸🇨🇺

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

Fue un honor acompañar a Orlando Gutiérrez-Boronat y a todos estos valientes líderes cubano-americanos para el United for a Free Cuba Rally en Miami hoy.

¡NUNCA dejaremos de luchar por la libertad en Cuba y por la liberación de TODOS los presos políticos detenidos por el malvado régimen de Castro/Díaz-Canel! ¡Pronto habrá libertad, Patria y Vida para Cuba!

[Cristian Crespo F. 🇨🇺 @cristiancrespoj]

🚨 “Me partieron dos costillas y varios dientes en una golpiza.”

Alexander Díaz Rodríguez salió de prisión tras cumplir cinco años por participar en las Protestas del 11 de julio de 2021 en #Cuba.

#Denuncia hambre extrema, golpizas, celdas de castigo y falta de atención médica, incluso después de ser diagnosticado con cáncer.

⚠️ Perdió más de 100 libras
⚠️ Dice que pensó que moriría de hambre y de frío
⚠️ Hoy apenas puede caminar

El 26 de abril en el Bayfront Park de Miami se hará una enorme convocatoria por la libertad de Cuba.

No tienes que ser cubano, puedes ser venezolano, nicaraguense, colombiano, dominicano, mexicano o de cualquier parte, solo necesitar odiar al comunismo y las dictaduras para asistir en apoyo al pueblo cubano.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions.

In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.

This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country.

Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country.

America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.
