Hurricanes don’t hit just Democrats or Republicans. They hit Floridians. As we enter hurricane season, I’m proud to team up with @RepDonaldsPress to share one simple message: preparation saves lives.

Chag Sameach to everyone celebrating Sukkot, which begins tonight at sundown. This week families across South Florida will gather in the sukkah to share meals and give thanks for the harvest. Wishing our community a joyful and meaningful holiday.

Yom Kippur begins at sundown tonight. It’s the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, a time for reflection, atonement, and renewal. To everyone in South Florida and across the country observing: g’mar chatimah tova. May you be sealed for a good year, and may your fast be meaningful and easy.

Middle East: Due to tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation. Americans currently in the Middle East should exercise heightened vigilance and be aware of potential flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions. Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including civilian airports. This military conflict has the potential to escalate rapidly. Americans outside the Middle East should seriously reconsider travel to and through the region. Those who do travel to or from the region should monitor information about airport and airline operations. U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted. Iran and groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or at locations associated with the United States and Americans throughout the world, including U.S. businesses and other institutions.

More than 80,000 Americans are still out there, in jungles and on ocean floors and in fields half a world away. Every day that they are not here, our nation grieves. On this National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we’re thinking about them. To the families still waiting and to our neighbors still out there: we will not rest until you are home.

South Florida's Hispanic community shapes who we are every single day,  in our neighborhoods, our workplaces, and our public life. This Hispanic Heritage Month, I want to recognize just a few of the leaders making our community stronger.

Congratulations to Maria Hinojosa on receiving @CHCI’s Medallion of Excellence tonight! For more than three decades, her reporting has given voice to Latino families across this country, including the ones I represent in South Florida. She built Latino USA and Futuro Media into institutions, and she made room for stories no one else was telling. Congratulations and felicidades, Maria!

For thirty years, Take Stock in Children has helped Florida kids break the cycle of poverty through education. It was a privilege to meet with their team this week to brainstorm ways to expand their incredible work to students in every corner of our state. There’s no better investment than Florida’s next generation. When we invest in her kids, our whole state moves forward.

I led a FL Dem Delegation letter urging Speaker Johnson to reinstate the ACA's Enhanced Premium Tax Credit immediately. Over 150K constituents have already lost their healthcare. Congress should focus on lowering healthcare costs. Instead, the Speaker is sending us home AGAIN.

It was an honor to join @ftlauderdalepd to help cut the ribbon on their brand new headquarters. Our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to protect our community every single day. They’ve earned a state-of-the-art home built to support that mission. I’m proud to see this investment in public safety become a reality and even more proud to represent the men and women of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department.

My office is closely monitoring the situation in Brickell following the crane collapse on Brickell Bay Drive. Thank you to the first responders who are on the scene right now, my office will continue to provide updates as they come.

A very happy Shana Tova to you and your loved ones! As we enter a new year, I hope yours is filled with sweetness, health, and countless blessings. May 5787 bring you and yours peace and love!

Twenty-five years after 9/11, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives stolen, the families forever changed, and the extraordinary courage of those who answered the call. Honoring them means caring for those still here, including first responders and survivors who became sick after 9/11. We must ensure they receive the care and support they deserve. Thank you to the City of Hollywood and everyone who joined us today, including our firefighters, police officers, and military service members. May we carry forward the unity and compassion that brought our country together in its darkest hours. We will never forget.

September 11, 2001 was one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. A generation will never forget where they were that morning: the morning we lost nearly 3,000 innocent souls in one of the most horrific acts of terror the world has ever seen. But they could not break us. In the days that followed, we saw the best of America. We saw first responders who ran toward the danger, neighbors carrying one another through rubble, and a nation that rose together. Tonight, two beams of light will rise where the towers stood: a quiet reminder that even in our deepest grief, we endure.
