With the rise of the Far Right, we’re in a situation where every election could potentially be the last one. No excuse not to vote with rigour.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Medicare and Medicaid fraud and cocaine drug money laundering are the traditional cornerstones of the Florida economy with a cyclical real estate fraud sector to round it out.

DEVELOPING STORY: A Florida grand jury investigating the Hope Florida scandal found that key members of the DeSantis administration engaged in a “sophisticated scheme” to divert $10 million of a Medicaid settlement into a political activities and the Republican Party of Florida.

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

Don’t let the liars fool you. Candidates like Byron Donalds who promises that he’ll make sure data centers supply their own water. Water can’t be created. It is OUR water. www.wflx.com/2026/07/28/f...

Water security is economic security. We cannot sacrifice our water, as without it, nothing else really matters. Let's put Texans first when it comes to our water.

I’m honored to earn the endorsement of the Miami Herald. This campaign has always been about putting Florida families first, tackling the challenges we face with honesty and common sense, and bringing people together to move our state forward. Let’s get to work.

Ever heard what a data center sounds like? Sound On. Florida’s future shouldn’t be for sale. While Byron Donalds takes money from the data center industry, I’ll keep fighting for the water, land, communities, and families that make this state worth protecting. Floridians come first.

Long-time Florida resident here who wrote letters and called his office many times when he was governor. Got pablum self-serving responses back. He has never served constituents; he serves only himself.

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

JD Vance urging the Ukrainians to be defensive is peak pro-Putin lobbying by the Trump administration. Now that Ukraine is doing better than they ever imagined, they want Ukraine to back off and take a deal Putin would go for. Nothing has changed. The US is with Russia.

Proud of my Florida representative in Congress.

Protecting the Gulf beaches and wildlife has never been more important! 16 years ago, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded—devastating the Gulf & killing 11 people. 4.9M barrels of oil gushed out of the well for 87 days causing serious economic and environmental damage.

one reason you dont elect racists is they think “it will be so easy” to win a war in the middle east based on nothing more than what they believe is their superior dna

Trump can only be removed under the 25th Amendment with the actions of this Republican vice president, this Republican cabinet, and this Republican-controlled Congress. So, if you're asking what Democrats are doing today, I'm not sure you understand how this all works.

Skydance, parent co of Paramount & CBS, complied in advance. FCC chair, Brendan Carr is flexing so CBS barred Colbert from airing his interview with TX Senate candidate, Rep.

Just watched the President's address to the nation. I've never felt better about our prospects in Florida next November. This state is ready to elect a Democratic Governor. Change is here. The tidal wave is building. Be a part of it.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

My representative. Thank you!

The victims deserve justice and everyone deserves to know the truth. That’s why I signed the bipartisan discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the files … over GOP Speaker Johnson’s objections and continued White House obstruction.

Mr. President, you were told by your Attorney General that you are in the files. It’s not a hoax.

Are you ready to build a better future for Florida? I’m running for Governor to make Florida an affordable home for everyone. I know there’s a brighter future ahead—and I hope you can help me build it. If you’re ready for change in Florida, share this post.
