🎉Our #ConsumerSafetyTechnology Act passed the House!. This bill would allow @USCPSC to explore the use of AI to protect consumers from dangerous products. It also includes a @FTC report on promoting #blockchain innovation & consumer protection. Next stop ➡️ the Senate!

Trump Admin cuts SNAP to hurt hungry American kids and burns USAID food to hurt hungry kids abroad. Their cruelty is consistent and foolish.
The Trump admin is set to incinerate 500 tons of emergency food aid due to USAID cuts–enough to feed 1.5 million malnourished children for a week. Read more here:

This weekend, I joined my colleagues to investigate the Everglades Detention Center—also known as “Alligator Alcatraz.”. What we uncovered were appalling, inhumane conditions that no one should be forced to endure. My full report on what we witnessed ⬇️.

Pres Trump’s attack on US Dept of Education is defunding our local schools. @Osceolaschools is waiting on millions in federal funding for teacher training, afterschool programs & multilingual services. We will work to bring these funds home.

Inflation is going back UP. Thanks to #TrumpsTariffs we can expect this trend to continue. Remember when he promised to lower prices on Day 1?

Sadly, we will also see cuts to Medicaid in #FL9 for 150k local citizens, including 100k children, through KidCare cuts.

We joined @RepMaxwellFrost for a healthcare roundtable to discuss the impact of the One Big Ugly Law. With Medicaid accounting for 43% of health centers' revenue, these cuts to the program will severely hinder the functioning of these essential resources.

1.8M FLORIDIANS will lose their Obamacare, WORST in the nation!. The rest of Florida will see their health insurance rates SPIKE due to all the uncompensated care here. The #OneBigUglyLaw hurts Florida’s healthcare the MOST.
Florida’s people aren’t only going to be the ones hurt the most due to the ACA Marketplace rollbacks. The state’s healthcare providers will see increases of uncompensated care costs more than any other state.

🚨ICYMI: We went down to #AlligatorAlcatraz to investigate on Saturday. What we found were terrible conditions. Immigrants packed 32 to a cage, hot temperatures (83 degrees), and faulty restrooms hidden from our inspection. This place should be shut down. There are far more

On Friday, we were thrilled to tour the @Mecum Summer car auction at Osceola Heritage Park. Their Winter Auction is the biggest convention in Osceola County. As a longtime Ford Mustang Convertible driver, I can appreciate the impressive engines, cool designs, and classic cars

Twisted. Republicans are BRAGGING about jacking up tariffs on YOU…. while simultaneously trying to defend their billionaire tax break bonanza. 🧐.
In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) reacts to President Trump’s newest threats to raise blanket tariffs on virtually all U.S. trading partners.

The economy is getting worse by the day. Yet Republicans are focused on dangerous and expensive political stunts like the #AlligatorAlcatraz. We went down there to investigate. They built the detention center in a flood zone during hurricane season at double the cost ($500
