Our Veterans put their lives on the line to protect us, and our hardworking folks at the VA are there to make sure they're taken care of when they return home. House Appropriations Democrats kicked off our yearly funding debates today, and we're fighting for a budget that looks after our vets.

Checking in in the middle of a looooong budget debate alongside House Appropriations Democrats. We're fighting for a budget that stands by our Veterans and funds treatments for conditions as a result of their service.

After a long night of debate, House Appropriations Democrats reached a compromise with Republicans to secure advance funding for the PACT Act so no Veteran gets turned away from the care they’ve earned as more apply for their service-related benefits. I stood up to support this critical funding.

Is he kidding?! Ron DeSantis says it’s okay to run over protestors. That’s not keeping people safe—it’s inciting violence. newsweek.com/ron-desantis-s…

Nine years since the senseless, horrific mass shooting at Pulse, the heartbreak of that night still echoes across Florida and the LGBTQI+ community. As we remember the victims today, we reaffirm our commitment to combating hate and ending the gun violence epidemic.

A sitting U.S. Senator was forcibly removed and handcuffed because he asked questions at a PUBLIC press conference. Trump's Administration is attempting to silence anyone who dares to speak up against them. This is not what democracy looks like. This is what dictators do.

When America retreats from the world, China and Russia fill that void. The cuts to U.S. foreign assistance in Trump’s recissions package undercut key American national security interests and risk our country’s safety and prosperity. I voted NO.

Enlisting in the military shouldn't mean signing up for a forced pregnancy. I spoke in House Appropriations Democrats debate today to protect reproductive care for women in the military. Our female servicemembers dedicate their lives to protecting our freedom, shouldn't we protect theirs?

U.S. Marines are heroes—not Trump’s personal police force. Militarizing our streets is un-American, unconstitutional, and dangerous. Our troops swear to defend the Constitution, not carry out political stunts against our own people.

I stand with the people of Israel and am closely monitoring developments as the situation unfolds.

With Florida home to the largest diaspora of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, Trump’s decision to end the humanitarian parole program is a slap in the face to thousands of families seeking freedom from violence and authoritarianism. It’s reckless and cruel.

Horrified by the assassination of MN State Rep. Melissa Hortman & her husband Mark. This politically motivated violence is an attack on our democracy. My deepest condolences to their family and community. We must find justice and condemn all political violence.

Happy Father’s Day! Today, I’m remembering my dad, a devoted father and proud patriot who served our country with heart and honor. That same spirit of love and service lives on in my son Ben, a U.S. Marine war Veteran and a wonderful father to my two beautiful grandkids.

The Administration must do more to bring stranded Americans in Israel home. I joined 44 colleagues urging President Trump and Secretary Rubio to act swiftly. Families need answers and a path to safety now. If you or a loved one needs help getting out, please contact our office.

Congrats to our Florida Panthers on winning their second straight Stanley Cup. A big win for South Florida and for every fan who stuck with this team through thick and thin. Go Cats!

A nuclear-armed Iran poses an existential threat to Israel. I stand with the people of Israel and strongly support their right to defend themselves against Iran’s escalating nuclear ambitions, which endanger regional and global security.

Justice Sotomayor was right: this decision will cause untold harm to transgender children and the families who love them. We must keep fighting to ensure decisions about medical care are made between patients and their providers, not by the courts or politicians.
