IN THE NEWS • LATEST NEWS • PRESS RELEASE Florida Democratic Party Statement on the Resignation of Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick from the United States House of Representatives April 21, 2026

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Today, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from the House of Representatives after being indicted on fraud charges involving the misuse of COVID-19 funds. In response, Nikki Fried, Chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, issued the following statement: "Corruption has no place in Congress. "Now it's Cory Mills' turn to resign. Congressman Mills has been accused of stolen valor, threatening to sexually violate a former partner, and abandoning a rescue mission in Afghanistan to meet with sex workers so frequently his own travel party left him behind. He faces an Ethics complaint for fraudulent use of campaign funds, leveraging committee assignments for personal gain, and has been the subject of three bipartisan censure resolutions. "Members of both parties have both called for Cory Mills to be expelled - that says it all. He has spent more time fighting substantiated allegations of abuse than fighting for Floridians. Enough is enough."

In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.

Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.

This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.

I’m reading this lawsuit Kash filed against The Atlantic. I’m struggling to find where they were wrong.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

how ridiculous for Tampa Bay Lightning fans to chant "USA, USA" last night against Montreal Canadians? Montreal has more USA born players than Tampa, and Tampa has more than half its team from Canada.

Current Polling Overview for Florida Governor Race Republican Primary • Byron Donalds: 46% support Jay Collins: 4% support • James Fishback: 4% support Paul Renner: 3% support • Undecided Voters: 39% Hypothetical General Election Matchups Democratic Nominee Byron Donalds' Support Opponent's Support David Jolly 44% 39% Jerry Demings 45% 36%

Affordability and economic concerns are top priorities for Florida voters, which could sway undecided voters in the governor race. Additionally, views on immigration enforcement and support for property tax reform may also impact their decisions.

FL has a governors race this year & despite the fact many posts exist about one very divisive Republican candidate, he’s not the front runner & likely won’t be. It’s likely Byron Donalds (R) running against either David Jolly (D) or Jerry Demmings (D). The key to winning is the right message and /1

Pam Bondi is desperately trying to avoid her upcoming deposition, despite a subpoena. Here's what happens if she doesn't show: youtu.be/0I4Vaf8Q7lU?...

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end.

We can not act like this is normal. Nothing about this is normal. This is the President of the United States talking about committing a war crime. Republicans have the ability to enact the 25th Amendment: doing nothing. This is a major problem for all of us. It stems from their lack of action
