Great work by @FBIDirectorKash & @FBISanDiego! Too often, seniors are targets of scams that cause significant harm & destroy their financial well-being. Thanks to @POTUS & the entire admin for their focus on keeping seniors safe!
Tremendous work out of @FBISanDiego today with partners - 19 arrests of subjects who allegedly targeted over 500 seniors in scams, causing over $40 million in losses. Criminal networks targeting seniors with financial fraud is one of the most important issues in America not

The Older Americans Act helps seniors when they need it the most. Watch Steve Sappington share his touching journey of being diagnosed with Parkinson’s and why of reauthorizing the OAA matters to him and his quality of life ⬇️

I was raised by a mom who dedicated her career to serving those supported through the Older Americans Act. As Florida’s AG, one of the first things I did was establish a Senior Protection Team. Florida is not just the Sunshine State but also the Silver State, and it’s critical

Communist China hates America & yet we are completely beholden to the CCP for essential medicines, like antibiotics & generic drugs. This is a massive threat to our health & national security, & why Chairman @SenRickScott is fighting to bring generic drug manufacturing back to
Xi’s stranglehold on rare earths will give China unprecedented leverage to win concessions from the US. Sitting in Beijing’s reserve is control over an even more vital supply chain: medicine.

Our seniors, and every American, deserve better. Senate Aging Committee Republicans are ready to reopen our government and stop this TODAY. @SenateDems, what’s it going to take for you to do your job and get on board?
Over 40 million Americans face the risk of losing critical SNAP food benefits. This crisis could be resolved if Democrats prioritized the needs of the American people over political games.

In just days, @SenSchumer’s Shutdown will cause SNAP to run out of funds & millions of seniors to go without food assistance. This is RECKLESS. No American should go hungry because Dems care more about benefits for illegals than putting Americans first!

The Florida Department of Children and Families stated that November SNAP benefits will not be distributed if the shutdown continues and federal funding is not restored.
