Hurricanes don’t hit just Democrats or Republicans. They hit Floridians.
As we enter hurricane season, I’m proud to team up with @RepDonaldsPress to share one simple message: preparation saves lives.
I couldn’t have been prouder to vote for the Major Richard Star Act and see it pass the House 392-18 today.
I’ve supported this bill since my first term, but veterans in my district were championing it long before I got here. They were right to keep pushing. Veterans forced out early by combat injuries shouldn’t see their retirement pay cut just because they also receive disability benefits.
Our combat-wounded veterans sacrificed so much for this country. They deserve every benefit they earned.
On this Veterans Day, we honor the generations of Americans who raised their right hand and put on the uniform so the rest of us could live free.
To the million-plus veterans who call Florida home and the millions more around the world, you are what makes America great. Our country owes you a debt we can never fully repay, and it’s on all of us to show that gratitude in how we treat you the other 364 days of the year.
Happy Veterans Day!
For the last 251 years, the world has known exactly who not to mess with: the United States Marine Corps. Generation after generation, Marines have been the first ones in and the last ones out.
To every Marine who has answered the call, happy birthday and Semper Fi!
Accountability and affordability go hand in hand.
Families are working two jobs while the President gets a $400 million jet from Qatar. Somebody’s priorities are off.
Republicans skipped oversight. We won’t.
Americans deserve answers.
🚨 LAST CALL FOR SPRING INTERNS 🚨
With Democrats taking the House in January, our spring interns will get a front row seat. Join the team and see how Congress works from the inside.
Apply to our DC or South Florida office before November 22:

88 years ago tonight, Nazi mobs tore through Jewish communities across Germany and Austria, burning synagogues and smashing the windows of Jewish homes and shops. By morning, 91 Jews had been murdered and about 30,000 Jewish men were headed for concentration camps.
Kristallnacht didn’t come out of nowhere. It followed years of hate that too many people shrugged off. Antisemitism is making a comeback today, and I won’t shrug it off.
I’ll keep calling it out wherever it shows up, so my kids grow up in a world where Kristallnacht stays in the history books.
There will finally be oversight in Washington.
When people are working two jobs to cover their bills and they see the President get a free plane from Qatar, they have questions.
The American people deserve answers. Now they’re going to get them.
Happy Halloween, South Florida! 🎃
Before the little ghouls and goblins hit the sidewalks tonight, here are some frightfully important tips to keep everyone safe:
Trick-or-Treaters:
🎃 Wear bright colors
🎃 Carry a flashlight
🎃 Cross at crosswalks
🎃 Let a grown-up check your candy before digging in
Drivers:
🚘 SLOW DOWN
🚘 WATCH FOR KIDS BETWEEN PARKED CARS
Have a safe and spooky night!
Eight years ago today, 11 Jews were murdered at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh for doing nothing more than practicing their faith. They had come for Shabbat morning services, and a gunman who wanted Jews dead walked in and opened fire. To this day, it remains the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history.
Antisemitism is one of the oldest forms of hate in the world, and when it turns violent, families and survivors are left with a lifetime of unimaginable grief.
Even so, the families shattered that day turned their pain into purpose. As we speak, the synagogue is being rebuilt as a memorial and museum dedicated to fighting the very same hate that took their loved ones.
May the memories of Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, and Irving Younger be a blessing.
A constituent of mine has just been arrested in Boca, just a few miles from my house, for threatening my life. He is currently in the Palm Beach County jail. I’m grateful to @fdlepio and local law enforcement for acting quickly to keep myself and my family safe.
I am horrified at the news coming out of Oregon. There are no words to say when children are murdered at their school. It is every parents nightmare and no family should have to experience that pain. These tragedies deserve our prayers and action. We owe it to today’s victims, and every victim from gun violence, to do more.
At least three children and one adult were killed in a shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, on Thursday, multiple law enforcement sources told CBS News.
The suspect, who was 16 years old, was shot and killed by a bystander, law enforcement sources said. cbsn.ws/3TVTMX5
I’m relieved that everyone at Donna Klein Jewish Academy is safe after yesterday’s bomb threat. We owe thanks to PBSO and Federation Campus Security for moving fast and getting every student home to their families.
Let’s be clear: there is no cause in the world that’s served by scaring children. If your grievance leads you to a K–12 school, you’re the problem.
Floridians: Hurricane Isaias could hit the Panhandle as soon as tomorrow evening. If you’re in its path, please start getting prepared today while stores are still open and roads are clear.
⚠️Check your evacuation zone.
🐾 Don’t forget to plan for your pets.

Hurricane #Isaias Advisory 7A (7 AM CDT, Thu Oct 8): Hurricane Hunters Currently Investigating Isaias. hurricanes.gov
Three years ago, families in southern Israel woke up on a holiday morning to sirens and gunfire. By nightfall, Hamas terrorists had murdered nearly 1,200 people and dragged 251 hostages into Gaza. It was the deadliest day for the Jewish community since the Holocaust. The pictures of that day still haunt me the same way they haunt so many in our community. For many families here in South Florida, October 7 doesn’t feel like three years ago. It feels like yesterday.
As a proud Jewish American and the grandson of Holocaust survivors, I know remembrance is not enough. It takes the courage to confront antisemitism on the far right and the far left, and to call out anyone who tries to excuse terrorism.
No one should be afraid to walk into a synagogue or send their kids to school because they are Jewish. I will keep standing with our Jewish neighbors, today and every day.
I want to wish a happy World Teachers Day to the incredible educators we have across South Florida.
Our teachers work morning to night to mentor the next generation, and they often do it without enough resources or credit.
To every teacher and school staff member: thank you. You have the most important job in the world, and you deserve a lot more than one day of recognition.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
In the U.S., 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men have experienced physical violence, sexual violence, or stalking by a partner, and many never come forward because they're ashamed or afraid they won't be believed.
If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone. Call the National DV Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or text START to 88788. It's free and confidential, and it's open 24/7.
You deserve to be safe, and help is here.
I’m relieved that every passenger made it home safe tonight. This was a clear act of terrorism by a madman who tried to hijack a plane to kill innocent people and attack the state of Israel. The passengers who stepped in to save the lives of everyone onboard deserve our full praise.
Praying for the injured pilot and wishing him a speedy recovery.
BREAKING: A flight bound for Israel makes an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after a midair cockpit incident triggers fears of a possible hijacking and prompts Israel to scramble fighter jets.
One passenger tells Fox they believe the co-pilot stabbed the captain, who then fell onto the controls. Other passengers describe hearing screams as the plane suddenly plunged before landing safely in Tabuk.
Officials say the emergency stemmed from an altercation involving the pilots, not a hijacking. Everyone on board is reported safe as authorities investigate exactly what happened inside the cockpit.
@Jeff_Paul reports the latest on the ground in Tel Aviv.
Still unclear is what role the Israeli fighter jets were prepared to play if this really was a hijacking. Full story at the link: foxnews.com/world/flydubai-p…
Chag Sameach to everyone celebrating Sukkot, which begins tonight at sundown. This week families across South Florida will gather in the sukkah to share meals and give thanks for the harvest. Wishing our community a joyful and meaningful holiday.
