It has been THIRTY-ONE days since the start of Senator Schumer’s Shutdown. In that time, Senate Democrats have voted THIRTEEN TIMES to keep the government closed. Each day this shutdown drags on, the possibility of missing a paycheck is an upsetting reality for many families that

Wouldn't it be great if we could enjoy Florida sunshine all year round? I'm proud to cosponsor the Sunshine Protection Act to put an end to needlessly changing our clocks twice a year. Even President Trump agrees that we should make Daylight Saving Time permanent! In the

Today is the 28th day of Senator Schumer's Shutdown, and the Senate Democrats just voted for the THIRTEENTH TIME to keep the federal government closed. Senate Democrats stand in the way of federal employees taking care of their families and putting food on their tables. This

Our nation’s first responders put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe. It’s critical they have a pathway to homeownership in the communities they serve. That’s why I introduced the HELPER Act because when first responders live in the communities they serve, everyone

As the son of a Navy veteran, I join our sailors today in celebrating the @USNavy's 250th birthday! I am proud to represent a robust Naval community in Northeast Florida that will continue to support their efforts on land, in the air, and at sea.

For the first time in over two years, Hamas holds NO living hostages. This is a major, historic win for the Trump administration and is an accomplishment that no one else could have delivered. Promises made, promises kept. Thank you to Israeli PM Netanyahu and all of the

Today marks the TENTH day of Senator Schumer’s Shutdown. 47 Senate Democrats are holding our government hostage by playing politics. Just yesterday, Senator Schumer said "every day gets better for us.” Meanwhile, every day is getting worse for our military families and the

I commend President Trump and @SecRubio for their commitment to brokering peace in the Middle East. What a monumental accomplishment! The first phase of this peace plan between Hamas and Israel, with the release of ALL hostages, is historic. President Trump is the President of

As a former Sheriff and law enforcement officer, I condemn Chicago PD for ordering officers to stand down while federal ICE agents were under attack, surrounded, and pleading for help. It is incomprehensible that any law enforcement officer would leave another in danger without
BRINGING RECEIPTS: Chicago police sources are calling out the department after CPD claimed "officers did in fact respond" to calls for help from ICE agents who were rammed and surrounded by protesters on Saturday — but internal dispatch records tell a different story.

Today marks two years since the horrendous October 7th attacks on Israel by Hamas terrorists. May we forever remember the innocent Palestinian and Israeli lives lost that day and the days that followed. Today and every day, I #StandWithIsrael.

During this Schumer Shutdown, my office is still hard at work as we continue to carry out our Constitutional duties by assisting constituents from Florida’s Fifth Congressional District. Federal agencies have been instructed to execute an orderly shutdown due to lack of funding.

Shutdowns are disruptive, costly, and burdensome for American families, veterans, and servicemembers. Essential federal workers, like our military servicemembers, are working without pay, hundreds of thousands of federal workers are being furloughed, and a wide range of services

A majority of House members and Senators both voted YES on a clean Continuing Resolution. Yet, a minority of Senate Democrats were able to halt its passage and shutdown the federal government. Now, it's working Americans trying to make ends meet who are being harmed by the

In 1672, Florida Gov. Manuel de Cendoya thrust a shovel into the ground to begin the fortification of St. Augustine. Since then, the fort has served as a monument to Florida's First Coast's robust history and resiliency. Happy 353rd birthday to Castillo de San Marcos!

I'm grateful to see President Trump and his administration fully enforce the FACE Act to protect houses of worship and ensure equal justice under the law. The FACE Act was meant to be used to protect ALL Americans from the disturbing rise in violence and intimidation at houses of

The Democrats supporting the Schumer Shutdown are playing a political game at the expense of the American taxpayer. Their last minute $1 TRILLION in requests are not reasonable. The government does not need to shutdown tomorrow night. House Republicans did our job passing a
