Today. Americans of all parties came together to honor the 46th Vice President. He understood that his oath was to the constitution, not to a person or party.

Today House Republicans found out there is life after going against the President when he is dead wrong. I pray the Senate will follow the House’s lead and vote for America's women and girls. Release the files; hold pedophiles accountable.

In 2016, then candidate Trump said “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters.” But surely we would not turn our heads as he covers for pedophiles and covers up crimes against underage girls. Would we?

In July, Trump's DOJ and FBI said there was no evidence to charge people based on the Epstein files. Turns out Trump is all over them. Now of course he's calling for an investigation (of his enemies) which would block the release of more emails. America, don’t fall for it.

So proud to attend the Change of Command Ceremony for the Apopka Police Department. We commend outgoing Chief McKinley for a job well done, and congratulate incoming Chief Quinn-Henry on her appointment. Apopka continues to be in good hands.

Scott, you are misinformed. Many republicans support the ACA. Let’s get pass the theater and have a real conversation. I would love to have a meaningful conversation.

Republican representatives from Florida are hosing their own constituents with higher health care costs. Don't be fooled, this catastrophe is all for the ego of the president. Your health care shouldn't be their plaything.

South Florida will feel some of the most intense reverberations if Congress allows the extra insurance subsidies it approved during the pandemic to expire.

POTUS just pardoned George Santos, convicted of fraud. At the same time, he's illegally pushing the prosecution of Lisa Cook and Letitia James for alleged fraud. When guilt or innocence depends on a president who punishes people who honor their oaths, we no longer have Justice.

A group of influential Republican officials and staff make horrific racist remarks and praise the Nazis and the Vice President refuses to condemn them. I guess we still have a “race” problem. Would someone please warn the Supreme Court before they gut the Voting Rights Act?

Joined @KatyTurNBC to talk about how Republican leaders give Donald Trump whatever he wants. If the government is shut down and people are losing their jobs, it's because Donald Trump wants it. https://t.co/Uewc1cb19e

Good to see airports refuse to blatantly violate the Hatch Act by playing a political video created by the Secretary of “Homeland Security,” Kristi Noem. Madam Secretary, your job is to keep us safe, not fight illegal partisan battles. Open the government. https://t.co/uO7ogbqyEw

I join the women of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. from around the world in mourning the passing of our beloved 25th National President, Dr. Paulette C. Walker. President Walker was a bold visionary who touched my life in so many ways.

On Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, we pray for the families of those killed in a terrorist attack in Manchester, England. Good men and women must come together and never let hate win.

POTUS does not have the authority to do this. Will Republican House Members from New York stand up to the President and fight for New Yorkers?

Don’t believe anything POTUS and his enablers in congress tell you. They have proven in the “Big Bill” that they will take from working families and give to their rich friends. If the government shuts down, it’s clearly on those in charge. The con game is over.

Former FBI Director Jim Comey indicted, even after career prosecutors thought there wasn’t enough evidence to move forward. A president ordering prosecution of whomever he perceives as his political enemies is a dark turning point in America. Pray for your children.

He will never stop bullying and threatening, unless Dems and some good republicans stop him. Hold the line.
