- Great to visit with our friends from the Everglades Foundation and talk about the billions in federal funding I’ve helped secure for projects to protect and restore one of Florida’s most treasured natural wonders.
- When a doctor says a patient needs care, that should be the end of the story. Instead, Medicare launched a pilot program that lets private companies use AI to second-guess physicians and delay treatment. I’m proud my amendment to halt further funding for this scheme was
00:00 - Great to run into my friends @PPFA I’ll always fight to protect a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions. Thankful to Planned Parenthood for their continued commitment to this effort.
- This bill fails our nation’s women. It cuts vital health care services: from preventive visits and birth control to cancer screenings and maternal health care. And it slashes funding for women’s health research. Women’s health matters. I’m fighting to protect it.
00:00 - There’s a lot of love in Palm Beach County. I was so proud to visit Compass, an LGBTQIA+ center in our community, to kick off Pride Month and celebrate the people who make our community stronger, kinder, and more welcoming. Happy Pride Month to all! 🏳️🌈

00:00 - Two things can be true at once: the Iranian regime poses a serious threat, and the decision to go to war is too serious to leave to one person. This week, the House finally voted to rein in Trump’s war. I voted yes.The House has passed a resolution to limit President Donald Trump’s war powers in Iran, a significant rebuke to Trump and his handling of the conflict. cnn.it/4e4xsR4
- Today we celebrate the anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment and the brave women who fought like hell for the right to vote. They changed America for the better. Now it’s on us to protect that right for every voter.
- Cavities hurt. So do dental bills. Safe, low levels of fluoride in our drinking water keep these consequences at bay. Before EPA’s fluoride assessment guides decisions across the country, independent experts should review the evidence and make sure the science is sound.
