I was thrilled to honor such a distinguished group of young people from my district who I was proud to nominate to our service academies.
I thank them for their future public service. I know they’ll make us proud!
As vice-chair of the @EqualityCaucus, I fight to not only protect the gains of the LGBTQ+ community, but make even bigger strides forward.
I was able to recognize one of the most vibrant and diverse LGBTQ+ communities in the country at the inaugural Stonewall Honors Ceremony!
D-Day heroes liberated Europe from a murderous Nazi regime. We all inherit their defense of freedom.
Today, on the anniversary of the Allied Normandy invasion, we must remember these brave soldiers’ amazing sacrifice.
On Gun Violence Prevention Day, I'm proud to #wearorange to support gun violence survivors.
We must stand together to #EndGunViolence, recommit to keeping our communities safe, and keep those we lost close to our hearts.
Polycystic kidney disease impacts more than half a million Americans, but doesn’t get nearly enough attention.
I introduced the PKD Cures Act with @repcleaver, @RepCarolMiller, and @RepDonBacon to invest in research, improve treatment, and work towards a cure.
Great to meet students from @ULBroward's Youth Hate Crimes Leadership Program (with a guest appearance from @RepClyburn)!
Urban League knows progress is made when we empower communities, open doors, and insist dignity and opportunity belongs to everyone.
Republicans just passed a partisan agriculture funding bill that will raise prices at the grocery store, cut food assistance for 7 million mothers and their babies, and makes food less safe.
This is a bad bill that does nothing to help Americans who struggle to make ends meet.
The Caribbean community is amazing, vibrant, and important piece of our culture in South Florida. I'll always support them.
Happy Caribbean American Heritage month to all!
The Republican Department of Interior funding bill makes it harder for us to hold the oil and gas companies accountable for polluting our environment and raising our utility and gas prices.
Watch as @AppropsDems and I fight back: https://t.co/AET3mGCnYg
After pressure from tribal and faith leaders, community members, and environmental defenders, it seems the so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" internment camp is shutting down.
This fight isn't over. I'll use every tool at my disposal to hold those responsible accountable.
Daniel Echenagucia has been wrongfully jailed in Venezuela for 22 months, despite a judicial release order.
Venezuela's brutal regime continues to brutally repress, detain & torture perceived opponents. Daniel & his family deserve justice. @SecRubio must push for his freedom.
Trump’s unqualified TV host-turned Defense Secretary makes America less safe whenever his ignorant bias against Black and female officers overrides merit and qualifications.
Ironically, Hegseth's legacy will be an undeserved promotion, total incompetence and unfit leadership.
Breaking News: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blocked the promotions of at least seven Navy officers in a move that targeted women and minority officers. https://t.co/1vww7IxOf1
Under Trump LGBTQ+ rights are under relentless attack. As a proud @EqualityCaucus Vice Chair, I work 24/7 in Congress to defend those rights.
Pride is still a protest. As we kick off Pride Month, I’m proud to celebrate that spirit and continue the fight.
I convened Broward County families and officials to share how rising utility costs hurt us all. I also shared how to lower utility bills: cap corporate overcharges and invest in low-cost clean energy.
Democrats did this in the Inflation Reduction Act. We must do it again.
5 years ago, Afro-Cuban dissident rapper and activist Maykel "Osorbo" Castillo Pérez was arbitrarily detained. Art is not a crime. Maykel must be freed. @RepDWStweets is his Defending Freedoms advocate.
Happy Haitian Mother’s Day and thank you to all of Broward’s Haitian mothers for the sacrifices you’ve made.
Bonne fête des mères et mesi pou tout sakrifis ke nou fe’. Mwin rinmin nou anpil!
Great to see the vital work Slate Solutions does in South Florida to support our national security.
As the lead @AppropsDems on the Military Construction and VA subcommittee, I continue to ensure the military gets the resources they need.
