U.S. Congresswoman proudly representing the people of Florida's 25th District in our nation's capital. Text me: 954-866-9444
- Port Everglades is the beating heart of Broward's economy. As anti-union Republicans attack our workers, I advocate in Congress to expand the port and the rights of everyone who works there. Glad to share my work with our Longshoremen in ILA Local 1526.
- Eleven years ago a violent racist stole nine lives in Charleston’s Mother Emanuel Church. Hate has taken many more lives since. We must keep pushing for increased Nonprofit Security Grants to keep our houses of worship safe and keep fighting to #EndGunViolence.
- After pressure from tribal, faith, environmental and community leaders, the Everglades internment camp is closed. Floridians were robbed of $1B for hurricane emergencies to fund this deathtrap. I'll use every tool I have to hold those responsible for this cruelty accountable.Officials with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security say all detainees have been moved from the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention facility in the Everglades. local10.com/news/local/202…
- Congress never voted to authorize Trump’s war. The result was strategic disaster. Now, he’s handing Iran costly, dangerous concessions to escape this mess. The President must submit the final deal with Iran to Congress for approval. Americans can’t afford another failure.Capitol agenda: Trump leaves Congress in dark on Iran deal dlvr.it/TT3wYx
- No one deserves to feel the pain of seeing your child's face on a missing poster. Proud to join @CSCBroward, @LifeNet4Fam, @noblenatl, @UnitedWayBC and Broward leaders to announce distribution of 400,000 free Child ID kits to help bring missing kids home.
- Since DACA began 14 years ago, DREAMers have strengthened America. They've grown up here since they were kids and are just as American as any of us. This is the only home they know. As DACA comes under attack, we must keep fighting for permanent protections for DREAMers.

Over 2 million Floridians have lost their ACA coverage. This was an absolutely avoidable tragedy, but Congress chose to do nothing.After congressional Republicans let expanded subsidies for Affordable Care Act plans expire at the end of last year, some families have decided the price is too great of a financial burden and canceled their coverage. cbsn.ws/4xA3nls - ICE can't even spend all the money Republicans throw at them. We need to use our tax dollars to fix our affordability crisis, not give ICE a slush fund for corrupt contracts, internment camps and private jets.
00:00 - As ICE deports law-abiding immigrants to brutal dictatorships, but welcomes white South Africans with open arms, it's clear what their selective crackdown is about. I just pushed measures to stop ICE's clear racial profiling and protect TPS, but Republicans voted them down.
00:00 - Trump's assault on TPS rips apart American families and hurts our economy. TPS holders pay into SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security without seeing a penny in return. It helps nobody to rip law-abiding immigrants out of the workforce.
00:00 - Americans need more homes we can afford, not more ICE cruelty. This week I pushed to use unspent ICE funds to fix America's housing crisis. Just 25% of ICE's budget can end homelessness. But Republicans voted it down.
00:00 - Great to honor Broward's women veterans this morning. As the lead Democrat on the @AppropsDems Military Construction and Veterans Affairs subcommittee, I'll always support those who served our country and continue to deliver for them.
