🚨By 2034, millions of Floridians will lose their health care and food assistance — all thanks to these Florida Republicans who sided with billionaires over their own constituents. Call them. Hold them accountable. Florida deserves better. Source: bit.ly/4kj7U3P
“We are keeping Representative Joe Casello and his family in our thoughts and prayers as they mourn his passing...He will be deeply missed,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. Full statement ⤵️ floridadems.org/2025/07/18/sta…
Republicans are so scared of releasing the Epstein files that they’re quitting early to go on Summer break. While the Americans aren’t able to pay for daycare and prices are going up on everything, these guys are taking a vacation? abcnews.go.com/Politics/house…
I stand with my colleagues in calling on Governor DeSantis to end Executive Order 23-03, an immigration “emergency” that’s been renewed for three years and has allowed for unchecked spending and abuse of power in the creation of the Everglades detention center.
Last night, Republicans shut down the House floor to block a planned vote on releasing the Epstein files. They’re now getting ready to leave for August recess. Cowards.
In his first 6 months in office, Trump launched a budget that rips money, aid, and healthcare from working Floridians to give tax breaks to billionaires. In the middle of an ongoing affordability and insurance crisis, Florida Republicans betrayed their constituents to pass it.
TRANSLATION: Pres Trump’s name is all over the Epstein files and they’re TERRIFIED about releasing them.
Mike Johnson on Epstein files: "We cannot be careless in an open release."
So what are you gonna do about insurance companies?
WE’RE NOT WASTING ANY TIME! I promised taxpayers I would audit local governments and protect their tax dollars. Tonight in my role as CFO, in conjunction with @DOGEFla and the @GovRonDeSantis administration, we sent these 7 page letters to Gainesville and Broward County…
House Republicans are literally running home scared this week because of the Trump-Epstein Scandal.
Two GOP members of the House Rules Committee told us no rule will be produced for bills this week, all because the GOP can't figure out a path forward on Epstein
We’re formally calling on DeSantis to rescind his immigration “State of Emergency”. He’s abusing executive authority to seize county land, give multimillion dollar no-bid contracts to his buddies, and spending a 1/2 BILLION dollars in taxpayer money on the Everglades camp. 1/2
Turning our Everglades into state-sponsored cages puts decades of environmental protections, tribal sovereignty, and public health at risk. And it costs $450M a year. Are you kidding me? We need bipartisan immigration reform, not political stunts wasting taxpayer money.
No one watching that video can justify what happened. A Black man with his hands up, and he still got punched in the face. We deserve answers, transparency, and accountability. Jacksonville, nor should anyone, look away.
JACKSONVILLE — TW ⚠️: Unarmed Black driver has his window smashed + face punched by a sheriff’s deputy after being pulled over for not having his headlights on… during the day. 🤔 Sheriff @TKWaters_ says they’ve launched an “internal investigation”: firstcoastnews.com/article/news/l…
This Disability Pride Month, disability advocate @JJHoImes warns: Trump’s cruel budget cuts, backed by FL Republicans, threaten vital programs relied on by Floridians and their families. FL Dems will continue to defend the programs that sustain and protect our communities.
Still no full contracts being posted by FDEM, but we do see that $18,195 was spent on "Tire replacement Tiger Dam trailers" for OVS which stands for "Operation Vigilant Sentry." Tiger Dams are flood barriers: usfloodcontrol.com/flood-barriers/ Looks like there is a flood problem at AA.
Trump Admin just terminated @EPA scientists who investigate pollution, climate change & enviro emergencies. Under their watch, major companies pollute without consequence. Meanwhile Americans get sicker & their neighborhoods get more toxic. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
With heavy hearts, we honor the life of Representative Joe Casello. His years of public service embodied humility, compassion, and unwavering dedication to his community. His leadership and legacy will be deeply missed.
A lot of well-connected GOP donors are getting VERY RICH off of this disgusting immigrant detainment camp. #GatorGrift orlandosentinel.com/2025/07/19/flo…
Today marks six months since Trump took office. His “accomplishments”: —Prices for household goods are skyrocketing —Businesses have been forced to plan for recession —300+ rural hospitals are at risk of shutting down —22 million working families could lose some or all of their…
