It was great attending the @LPGA Founder’s Cup in Bradenton today. I had the chance to meet Bradenton’s own @NellyKorda and ask her what it was like having the chance to play in her own backyard. I can definitely use some of her pointers for my swing!

Secretary Bessent is right: @POTUS has a mandate to make the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent. Failing to act will lead to the largest tax hike in history for millions of hardworking families.

Happy birthday to America’s 40th President, Ronald Reagan! President Reagan’s faithful dedication to public service is what first sparked my interest in politics and ultimately inspired me to run for public office.

Pleased to see the House pass the HALT Fentanyl Act to crack down on fentanyl, which killed nearly 75,000 Americans in 2023. The bill mirrors my bill, the FIGHT Fentanyl Act, which permanently classifies fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs.

Violent criminal illegals have no place in our country. Congress needs to pass my Criminal Alien Gang Member Removal Act to make sure aliens in criminal gangs like the one who murdered Laken Riley are deported and never allowed to reenter the U.S.

Today is National Girls and Women in Sports Day! It’s insane that the Democrats call to “follow the science“ but won’t work with @HouseGOP to keep men out of women’s sports. Our girls deserve a fair shot and shouldn’t have to play against grown men!

Congratulations to my friend @PamBondi on her confirmation as U.S. Attorney General!   I've had the privilege of working with her for years since her days as Florida AG. Here we are nearly 15 years ago discussing the need to crack down on prescription drug abuse!

A shocking six in ten Americans live with at least one chronic disease. Today, @RepJimmyPanetta and I introduced the bipartisan Chronic Disease Flexible Coverage Act—which passed the House in 2024—to expand coverage options for chronic disease treatment.

Today is World Cancer Day, a time to raise awareness of cancer's tragic impact on our communities. We must make it easier to access cancer care, which is why I’m championing the Lung Cancer Screening & Prevention Act to ensure timely access to advanced screenings for lung cancer.

Thanks to @POTUS and @SecRubio, Panama has agreed to leave China’s dangerous Belt and Road Initiative, keeping the Panama Canal out of Beijing’s hands. The canal is far too critical to our national security to be subject to the Chinese Communist Party.

Performing artists are an asset to our community, and they should not have to choose between paying for work-related expenses and their basic needs. Grateful to work with @RepJudyChu to update this 40-year-old law to support artists in Southwest Florida.

Thank you to @POTUS for signing the Laken Riley Act into law.    This crucial new law will help protect innocent Americans like Laken and ensure that dangerous criminal illegal aliens are detained by ICE and kept off our streets.

My No Tax on Tips Act with @RepDonaldsPress will support hardworking Americans who rely on tipped wages to support their families. Looking forward to working with @realDonaldTrump to make this promise a reality.

Proud to join @RepMoolenaar’s resolution to designate this week as “National School Choice Week.” Florida is leading the way in expanding school choice and putting parents in the driver’s seat of their kids’ education. That’s why we’re ranked number one for education freedom!

An overwhelming majority of performing artists are lower and middle-class Americans struggling to make ends meet. I’m proud to join @RepJudyChu to lead legislation to deliver tax relief for performing artists in Southwest Florida and across the country.

As @RichardRubinDC noted today, Congress must work with @POTUS to deliver on his tax priorities. That’s why I introduced the No Tax on Tips Act to fulfill President Trump’s promise and support hardworking Floridians who drive our tourism-based economy.
