👮🏼‍♀️👷🏽‍♂️🧑🏻‍⚕️👨🏾‍🏫👨🏻‍🚒👦🏼👧🏾👴🏼🧓🏽 What do these people have in common? Police officers, construction workers, firefighters, veterans, teachers, healthcare workers, and kids are just some of GOP’s first victims who will feel the pain of their “negotiations” or a default.

His (DeSantis) tyrannical ways of using division and prejudice must never venture beyond the Florida line…We cannot and will not let him re-write America’s history and push his politics of distortion, bigotry, and fear on the American people.

The plan continues to create jobs, rebuild our infrastructure and cut the deficit. What it will not do is sacrifice our values with cruel cuts to veterans, seniors and working families.

MAGA House Republicans are threatening a default that could cost us millions of jobs and trigger a recession.   All because they are demanding deep cuts that will hurt hardworking families – even while they protect tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations. I’ve got a plan to…

It's heartbreaking any community must issue this warning. But and MAGA extremists bred this 'hostility' in #FLA by passing discriminatory laws to score points with a reactionary base. And it's our workers and businesses who will pay a price from the lost visitors.

This is what MAGA Republicans and Ron DeSantis do to innocent families and doctors in #Florida. And it's exactly what they want to inflict on all of America. #AbortionIsHealthCare

Milo Evan Dorbert took his first and last breath on the evening of March 3rd. The unusual complications his mother, Deborah Dorbert, would face during pregnancy tested the interpretation of Florida’s new abortion law. wapo.st/3BFyFLJ

Republicans deny it, but the #DefaultOnAmericaAct hurts our veterans. It rescinds $2B for veterans, and their House funding bill shortchanges a bipartisan fund to ensure those exposed to toxins and burn pits get care. Plus it cuts other job, food & housing help our veterans need.
Quote Tweet
217 Republicans just voted to cut Veterans care. 2024 is coming. We will NEVER let you forget this!

The MAGA moves to curb speech, muzzle professors & stifle academic freedom weaken FLA's universities. This latest censorship measure just emboldens extremists to wage campus witch hunts and silence vital minority voices and research. #SayRace #SayGay

So proud to be part of the 41st Annual Gourmet Gala. We helped raise a record $1.37M for healthier moms & babies. And I won a Healthiest Recipe Award for my Shrimp Fried Quinoa! Thanks to a great event team & sous chef/advisor Lauren Mylott. A favorite annual event.

America pays its bills. Avoiding default is a basic duty of Congress, and they did 3 times under Trump without risking economic peril. I'll work with to pay our bills, but I won't let MAGA extremists undo all our progress by waving a default threat at every American.

A default would inflict catastrophic economic pain and brutalize those who can least afford it. Seniors would face Social Security check delays, veterans may not get benefits and car payment, student loan, credit card and mortgage costs will all skyrocket.

A false threat caused chaos at the FIU campus this morning as students and parents prepared for the worst. Threats don't seem so fake when the threat of gun violence is so real. WE DON'T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

FIU Alert Update: This morning @FIUPOLICE received reports of an active shooter in AHC 3. Officers have cleared the building and are now conducting a methodical search. There is no danger to anyone on campus. The call appears to be false.

Extreme MAGA Republicans would devastate our economy if they force a default on our debt. What it would do: ✔️ Millions of lost jobs ✔️ Markets and 401(k)s will crater ✔️ Costs will rise for everybody ✔️ Credit card & car payments spike Let’s stop this recklessness. #VoteBlue
