Nearly every decision the Trump Administration makes raises our energy prices for Americans. They yanked $30 million in electricity grants to cut Floridians' utility costs, yet somehow found money to hike the Energy Secretary's personal office budget.
Republicans are slashing investments that help working families afford their energy bills and support American jobs. Trump said the cost of energy is peanuts. They're too far out of touch.
The Republican Energy and Water funding bill is the first ever cut to Everglades restoration. Army Corps leaders can't tell us what will be impacted and have little details to justify it. That's not transparency.
Republicans had a chance to put their money where their mouth is this week when I introduced an amendment to release funds to reduce energy costs for Americans. They voted against it. I'll keep fighting to lower Floridians' energy bills.
Republicans claim to be tough on crime, yet Trump brazenly pardons fraudsters, lifts sanctions on dictators, and covers up the Epstein files. I don't know what reality Republican leaders live in, but it's not this one.
GAVI has saved millions of lives. Every $1 we contribute generates $54 in economic benefits for Americans and supports advanced manufacturing jobs in Florida. But Rubio's refusal to implement our bipartisan spending bill means more children will die preventable deaths.
If Trump's DOJ won't prosecute wealthy foreign officials and elites who came here to exploit children with Jeffrey Epstein, Congress must step up. My No Escaping Justice Act hold foreign nationals implicated in Epstein's crimes accountable.
Secretary Rubio promised to make America stronger, safer, and more prosperous. Instead, Republican cuts to national security programs have only isolated, weakened, and impoverished our nation.
DREAMers are just as American as you and me. They've grown up here since they were kids. This is the only home they know. We should allow DACA recipients to work for the government. It's senseless to turn away educated, qualified, law-abiding applicants from serving the public.
Republicans want to gut unions and silence workers' voices, all to benefit their billionaire friends. If they continue their assault on federal workers, government services will become slower, more expensive, and less effective. That moves us in the wrong direction.
Trump wants taxpayers to fund his arch vanity project and a billion more for his gold ballroom. We should invest our tax dollars to make life more affordable for working families, not to stroke the president's fragile ego.
The Everglades internment camp will reportedly close because the Trump administration still refuses to pay back Floridians more than $1 billion in wasted tax dollars. But the fight isn't over. We must hold those responsible accountable.
Our bipartisan MilCon & VA funding bill overwhelmingly passed the House! It avoids painful cuts Democrats oppose, funds veteran healthcare & keeps our commitment to veterans exposed to toxins. It's a rare across-the-aisle delivery of services veterans & servicemembers earned.
Epstein survivors like Courtney Wild never got the chance to object to his backroom plea deal. I'm proud that my bipartisan amendment to require transparency & reform DOJ's protection of victims' rights was just adopted to the government funding bill.
