Did you know that as little as six inches of water can cause you to lose control of your vehicle? Don't drive through flooded roads, it can be hard to tell how deep the water is. Stay safe and find another route.

Florida's maritime industry runs on skilled mariners and @CSeamanship has trained more than 30,000 of them since 1971.
Today I visited its nine-acre waterfront campus in Port Salerno and joined a roundtable with @RepBrianMast, Chapman leadership, and Florida state officials on growing the domestic maritime workforce.
Chapman delivers hands-on instruction outside the traditional four-year path—and in August 2026, the school earned a federal designation as a Center of Excellence for Domestic Maritime Workforce Training and Education. It was a pleasure to discuss how @USDOL is supporting Job Creators and institutions building pathways to high-paying maritime careers.

On Friday, @POTUS announced a $40 MILLION grant for @FLACommerce to lead the Shipbuilding and Defense Industrial Base Apprenticeship Incentive Fund – part of the @USDOL’s nearly $200 MILLION investment nationwide in apprenticeship incentives.
Today, I was proud to join @RepBrianMast, @EducationFL Commissioner @HenmackIII, and @FLACommerce Deputy Secretary of Economic Development Jason Mahon to officially open applications for our Pay-for-Performance Incentive Payments Program.
Through this program, eligible apprenticeship sponsors nationwide can receive up to $6,000 PER NEW APPRENTICE – helping us reach President Trump's goal of ONE MILLION new apprentices nationwide.

AFFORDABILITY ALERT! 🇺🇸
THEN: Under Biden, breakfast staples like eggs, bacon, bread, and butter saw prices SOAR, with egg prices skyrocketing nearly 238%! 📈
NOW: Under @POTUS, prices for ALL FOUR of these breakfast essentials are DOWN! 📉
This is real progress, but there is still MUCH more work to do to make the most important meal of your day more affordable. 🍳

Most-Favored-Nations drug pricing has leveled the playing field.
Americans saw the largest year-over-year drop in prescription drug prices in HISTORY, thanks to President Trump's effective policies. 🇺🇸
The rough weather from strong storms can cause manatees to become stranded & sea turtle post-hatchlings to be washed back from the sea & onto the shore. If you encounter a stranded, injured or dead manatee, or a sea turtle hatchling tangled in seaweed on the shore or in a place it doesn't belong, like a pool or yard, the best thing to do is call our Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922 so that trained responders can assist.

Three years ago, Hamas committed a massacre against Israel, murdering nearly 1,200 innocent people, including 49 Americans, and took 251 hostage.
Thanks to @POTUS, every hostage is home. But for the survivors and families of those killed, they will always carry the pain and grief of that day.
We will always remember the victims. May their memory be a blessing.
