    The Iran nuclear deal is one of the worst and most one-sided transactions in U.S. history. President Trump was right to withdraw. Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism and has a history of cheating on international arms inspections.

    Congress should reject a White House plan to cut funding from the Children’s Health Insurance Program. There are plenty of other places to cut. Eleven years ago I voted to override then-President Bush’s veto of a bill extending the program.

    A new study ranked me one of the most bipartisan members in Congress -- top 15 percent in U.S. House. Nothing is impossible if we work together. We need more civility and less partisanship in Washington.

    Kudos to Manatee County Sheriff Rick Wells and his officers for the arrest of seven gang members accused of murdering six people. Hard to imagine “criminal organizations” like this in our backyard but reassuring to know we have Sheriff Wells protecting us.

    Thank you for your service, Officer Jenkins! You are a true public servant. Judging from the affection and respect of your fellow officers, you will be missed!

    We might be biased but our Officers have some of the biggest hearts. They love serving, protecting & giving back. Ystd, Ofc Jenkins retired after 30 yrs of service. He went 10-7 (out of service) for the last time after protecting and serving the for 3 decades 🚔💙

    I just called on Governor Scott to direct new federal anti-drug funds to Manatee and Sarasota counties --two of the hardest-hit counties in Florida. So many overdose deaths in Manatee that at one point the morgue ran out of space. Read my statement

    The Trump administration decision to undermine safety rules for offshore oil drilling is reckless and unacceptable. Have we learned nothing from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe? These safeguards should remain in place.

    Trump administration now allowing elephant and lion trophy "imports" on case by case basis. Bad decision. Should stick to previous commitment to keep ban in place. Allowing "trophies" will only encourage slaughter of these magnificent animals.

    Today is the 8th anniversary of the worst environmental disaster in US history — the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The Administration’s plan to weaken safety rules put in place after the fatal explosion must be withdrawn.

    A federal ban on slaughtering dogs and cats for human consumption was just approved by a U.S. House committee. The bill was introduced by my colleague and myself and is strongly supported by animal welfare groups.

    My new bill, the Opioid Emergency Response Act, was endorsed today by hospital officials, mental health experts, sheriffs and two prominent mothers who lost their sons to the opioid epidemic. Honored to have their support.

    The strike against Syria by U.S., British and French forces was a measured response to Bashar al-Assad’s use of internationally banned chemical weapons. Important not to escalate our role in the conflict or provoke Russian military action.

    Honored to receive the “Legislative Leader” award last night from the U.S. Humane Society. Preventing animal cruelty and protecting endangered species are bipartisan issues I will continue to champion in Congress.

    Sorry to hear my good friend Dennis Ross is retiring. He has been a great advocate for Florida, fighting on behalf of veterans and farmers and a leader in reauthorizing the National Flood Insurance Program. Florida will miss his leadership in Congress.
