I’m relieved that everyone at Donna Klein Jewish Academy is safe after yesterday’s bomb threat. We owe thanks to PBSO and Federation Campus Security for moving fast and getting every student home to their families. Let’s be clear: there is no cause in the world that’s served by scaring children. If your grievance leads you to a K–12 school, you’re the problem.
@exxhibit_c I’ll put you down as “unable to attend”
@RealBillyGrant Hey now 👟
Floridians: Hurricane Isaias could hit the Panhandle as soon as tomorrow evening. If you’re in its path, please start getting prepared today while stores are still open and roads are clear. ⚠️Check your evacuation zone. 🐾 Don’t forget to plan for your pets. 📲Follow @FLSERT for the latest updates.

@NYCMayor He basically said “The Jews that died, sad, but it’s their fault.” He needs the city’s antisemitism policy for himself. Just an atrocious statement
Three years ago, families in southern Israel woke up on a holiday morning to sirens and gunfire. By nightfall, Hamas terrorists had murdered nearly 1,200 people and dragged 251 hostages into Gaza. It was the deadliest day for the Jewish community since the Holocaust. The pictures of that day still haunt me the same way they haunt so many in our community. For many families here in South Florida, October 7 doesn’t feel like three years ago. It feels like yesterday. As a proud Jewish American and the grandson of Holocaust survivors, I know remembrance is not enough. It takes the courage to confront antisemitism on the far right and the far left, and to call out anyone who tries to excuse terrorism. No one should be afraid to walk into a synagogue or send their kids to school because they are Jewish. I will keep standing with our Jewish neighbors, today and every day.
I want to wish a happy World Teachers Day to the incredible educators we have across South Florida. Our teachers work morning to night to mentor the next generation, and they often do it without enough resources or credit. To every teacher and school staff member: thank you. You have the most important job in the world, and you deserve a lot more than one day of recognition.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In the U.S., 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men have experienced physical violence, sexual violence, or stalking by a partner, and many never come forward because they're ashamed or afraid they won't be believed. If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone. Call the National DV Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or text START to 88788. It's free and confidential, and it's open 24/7. You deserve to be safe, and help is here.
I’m relieved that every passenger made it home safe tonight. This was a clear act of terrorism by a madman who tried to hijack a plane to kill innocent people and attack the state of Israel. The passengers who stepped in to save the lives of everyone onboard deserve our full praise. Praying for the injured pilot and wishing him a speedy recovery.
I saw this movie as a kid with my dad. What a great movie.

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.
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.
@SeanTrende @rpyers Definitely not me
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.
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!
