USDA's Inspector General can't be trusted to be an independent watchdog over vital food and nutrition assistance programs. When I questioned him last week, it was obvious his political bias and Project 2025 work are still an issue.
A Project 2025 advisor is now the USDA's new Inspector General. He's clearly not the independent watchdog we need as USDA adopts the Project 2025 playbook by cutting funds for schools and food banks to buy meals and local produce, hurting kids in Broward and nationwide.
USDA illegally withheld food assistance from Minnesota, while ignoring Republican-run states with higher error rates. USDA's Inspector General — a position that's supposed to be independent — couldn't commit to investigating this political bias when I pushed him to.
USDA's Inspector General was an advisor on Project 2025, the extremist blueprint Republicans are using to gut USDA and lifesaving food assistance programs for vulnerable Floridians. When I pressed him about his involvement, he couldn't give a straight answer.
After October 7, I shared photos of every Israeli hostage outside my office as a reminder of the need to bring them home. Now that the remains of Ran Gvili, the last hostage in Gaza, are returned, I can finally take their pictures down. Their stories will never be forgotten.

Republicans’ assault on TPS would criminalize hundreds of thousands of lawful immigrants overnight. It harms our economy, healthcare, childcare & more. I’m glad a federal judge ruled to protect TPS for Haiti, but the fight isn't over. I'll keep working to protect our community.
I convened local civil rights and immigration advocates to hear how ICE is impacting Florida and discuss what to do about it. Here’s what they told me.
Food is more unaffordable than ever, especially when disaster strikes. I was proud to secure a $2 million federal investment to support Feeding South Florida's Emergency Response Kitchen to help provide underserved and disaster-struck communities hot meals for low or no cost.
How can Trump say Haiti is dangerous enough to send a peacekeeping force, yet safe enough to send back law-abiding immigrant families? I'm fighting to protect TPS for Haitians so our neighbors aren't subjected to chaos and violence.
When America treats every action like a transaction, rather than pursuing our values of democracy and freedom abroad, we risk losing what sets our nation apart.
