DLast month, the NSRP Appropriations Subcommittee held a hearing with the leaders of our international trade and investment agencies. Bipartisan support for these critical soft power tools strengthens American economic and strategic interests around the world. https://t.co/fcYjGwv8LA
The 340B program helps safety-net hospitals and community health centers stretch limited resources to serve more patients. We should be making it easier for these providers to deliver affordable care—not adding costly new requirements. That’s why I’m co-leading the 340B Rebate Model Delay Act with @RepBresnahan, @RepDebDingell, & @RepMann to block this new rebate policy before it takes effect.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime. This month, we lift up survivors and their loved ones who are navigating this life-changing diagnosis. Early detection saves lives. Find a screening program near you at https://t.co/zhKvG9f8S8
President Trump’s bigoted and shortsighted decision to provide almost all refugee resettlement slots to white South Africans casts aside thousands of people still waiting in line - individuals and families who fled persecution, are already vetted, and deserve to start a new life here in the United States. We must continue to support those seeking refuge in our country, and give them a fair shot at a fresh start. https://t.co/N4IpGMSGPD

This week, I met with leaders from BAPS to discuss protecting houses of worship and keeping our communities safe. No one should ever fear violence because of where or how they worship. I’ll keep working to ensure faith-based communities have the resources they need to stay secure.
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! This month, we celebrate the generations of Hispanic Americans whose culture, hard work, and leadership have helped shape our communities and our country. I’m proud to celebrate with our Hispanic neighbors across South Florida. https://t.co/DLSJ0WtWHM
Proud to celebrate the opening of the new Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse center in Palm Beach County. I was glad to secure $1 million in federal funding to help make this project possible. This new space means more room, resources, and support for survivors to build safe, independent lives.
¡Feliz Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana! Este mes, celebramos a las generaciones de hispanoamericanos cuya cultura, trabajo arduo y liderazgo han ayudado a formar nuestras comunidades y nuestro país. Estoy orgullosa de poder celebrar junto a nuestros vecinos hispanos en todo el sur de la Florida.
Today is Latina Equal Pay Day. Latinas earn just 53 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men—costing them more than $33,000 a year. That gap means less money for rent, groceries, child care, and saving for the future. I’ll keep fighting to raise wages and close the gap.
Congratulations to Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri, Morocco’s first female Prime Minister! This is a historic, exciting moment for Morocco and a win for women’s political participation in a region where their voices are essential to peace and security. https://t.co/TE4tFMTo51
Last week, I submitted formal comments opposing the FAA’s proposal to make the Mar-a-Lago flight restrictions permanent. Presidential security is essential—but so is minimizing the burden on our community. I’ll keep fighting for an approach that does both. https://t.co/TjNyYW6YFQ
Florida ranks second nationwide with nearly 3,200 banned books last school year. These stories have the power to teach valuable lessons, shape minds, and change perspectives. This Banned Books Week, we celebrate the freedom to read and protect our stories from those who are trying to censor schools and libraries.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas and its accomplices stormed Israel, brutally murdered more than 1,200 people, committed horrific acts of sexual violence, and abducted 251 hostages, including Americans and citizens of more than 40 countries. On this solemn anniversary, we honor the lives of those lost and the bravery of the hostages and their families, and recommit ourselves to a better future - where Israel is safe and secure and everyone in the region can live in peace and dignity.
Proud to join this effort.
I’m pleased that @NoFallenHeroes has been awarded $750,000 in federal funding to support South Florida communities, including right here in Palm Beach County. This investment will expand access to critical mental health and suicide prevention resources for Veterans who are not connected to VA care.
Honored to be with FL @ActiveRetirees (FLARA) today in West Palm Beach. We will never stop fighting to protect Social Security and Medicare. https://t.co/KWffm058LL
The Trump Administration redirected $20 million in federal funding to help pay for political ads. That is an unacceptable use of taxpayer money. The Trump Administration should be prioritizing the affordability crisis, not pushing a political agenda.
A woman’s reproductive freedom shouldn’t depend on her paycheck or the kind of health insurance she has. For 50 years, the Hyde Amendment has put abortion care out of reach for many low-income women who rely on Medicaid coverage. Everyone should have the freedom to make their own deeply personal health care decisions, regardless of income.
🚨 🚨 LESS THAN 4 DAYS TO SUBMIT YOUR FEEDBACK ON FAA’S PERMANENT FLIGHT RESTRICTION PROPOSAL 🚨 🚨 If you’re a Palm Beach County resident who has been impacted by the flight restrictions around Mar-a-Lago, you can share your feedback with the FAA by going to this link or following the below instructions. https://t.co/JBqbvJuUtx
Congress must step in. No one should be shipped off to a country that is not their own without basic due process and a meaningful opportunity to raise legitimate fears for their safety. I will continue fighting with like-minded colleagues to uphold due process and ensure our immigration policies align with our values and respect humanity.
Today marks 26 years since the FDA first approved #Mifepristone—a safe & effective medication that has helped millions take control of their reproductive health. Recent attacks on mifepristone reject science and threaten reproductive freedom. We must expand access to this medication, not restrict it.
Thank you to @MalariaNoMore CEO Bill Steiger for visiting my office last week! We discussed the importance of robust global health funding to fight malaria. As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the President's Malaria Initiative, we must recommit ourselves to efforts to eradicate this deadly disease.
1 in 4 Americans ages 65+ fall each year. I’ve seen firsthand how a fall can change someone’s life in an instant. But the good news is that many are preventable! That is why I joined @RepCarolMiller, @RepJoeMorelle, @RepGusBilirakis & @Rep_Magaziner to introduce a bipartisan resolution recognizing Fall Prevention Awareness Week and to promote resources that keep seniors safe. Check your fall risk and learn about simple steps you can take to stay safe, healthy, and independent here: https://t.co/ITeqtuRkZy
Great catching up with my alma mater @BU_Tweets President Gilliam. Go Terriers! https://t.co/UuC29y43GR
