Now, Trump is expanding drilling into protected Gulf areas, gutting safeguards and eliminating endangered species protections. We can’t let that happen. My bipartisan Florida Coastal Protection Act would permanently ban drilling off the FL Gulf coast and prevent future costly disasters and harm.

Protecting the Gulf beaches and wildlife has never been more important! 16 years ago, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded—devastating the Gulf & killing 11 people. 4.9M barrels of oil gushed out of the well for 87 days causing serious economic and environmental damage.

Once again, consumers get screwed. You shouldn't be footing the bill for utilities' lobbying.

Congress should pass my Ethics in Energy Act, which would address this exact problem and prevent utilities from using your hard earned payments to fund their political activity.

Poll: Trump's approval rating hits second-term low as Americans sour on the economy and Iran war Two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of inflation, according to an NBC News Decision Desk Poll, with some cracks emerging in his GOP support.

Trump promised you lower prices on day 1. Instead, his war of choice and reckless policies have made prices higher while his billionaire buddies make out like bandits. 💰

You deserve better!

All Americans suffered higher costs due to illegal and arbitrary Trump tariffs. $ should be returned to the people, not just the businesses!

International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) Duty Refunds Securing America's Borders

❗️Refunds for illegal Trump tariffs start today : www.cbp.gov/trade/progra...

Up to $166 billion in illegally charged tariffs due to over 330,000 importers.

Continuing conversations about global climate efforts is imperative as we fight for sensible climate policies on our own turf. Thanks to the Sustainable Energy & Environment Coalition for hosting an important conversation on how we can be good stewards of smart climate policy around the world. 🌎

Trump and Secretary Wright's Department of Energy is actively making energy and electric bills more expensive. Meanwhile, their Big Oil and Gas buddies are profiting billions off of your higher costs.

Yesterday, I gave Secretary Chris Wright my thoughts on the administration’s costly policies.

Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!

Today is Tax Day! 🗒️

Don’t forget to file, and don’t forget that Trump’s promises made = promises broken. ❌

Thanks to my friends @earthjustice.org for coming to DC to advocate for our Gulf. They’re leading the charge on litigating Trump’s dangerous decision to evade the Endangered Species Act to drill, and I’m proud to stand alongside them in their efforts to protect our precious natural resources. 🌎

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the millions of Jewish people who were murdered in the horrific events of the Holocaust. May their memories be a blessing. We must continually denounce antisemitism and hatred—ensuring that nothing so awful is ever allowed to happen again.

It’s always the same story: Post something outrageous. Face backlash. Then insist people didn’t see what they saw. Trump’s bet is that Americans won’t trust their own eyes. Unfortunately for him, they do.

The affordability squeeze happening right now is a disservice to the hardworking people in Tampa Bay, and it’s a result of choices being made by Republicans.

Thank you to the neighbors that told their stories last night—I’ll be carrying them with me to fight for you in D.C.

You deserve better!

Port Tampa Bay is Florida’s largest, most dynamic port—an economic engine for our state and region. I’m proud of my partnership with @PortTampaBay and to deliver a significant federal investment that will help expand our economy and keep our neighbors thriving.

Having my bipartisan Preventing Maternal Deaths Reauthorization Act signed into law is a huge win for moms, babies, and health care providers in Tampa Bay. 💕

All moms deserve access to high-quality, affordable care throughout their pregnancy and beyond.

This morally repugnant threat comes from a feckless President who is betraying his own people and our national security. Plus, he continues to inflict higher costs and more pain during an affordability squeeze. He clearly is unfit to lead our great country.

Happy opening day, Rays! ☀️ Great to see fans back in the Trop.

My bipartisan PREVENT HPV Cancers Act would help boost this lifesaving immunization and raise public awareness about cancer screening — potentially saving tens of thousands of lives.

The HPV vaccine protects against 6 types of cancer (meaning it can literally save your life). We want to reach an 80% immunization rate, but unfortunately, only 59% of Florida teens are up to date with the HPV immunization right now. 💉

Happy Easter from Tampa! 🐣✝️🌸🐇

Cora Bowen’s “A Million Paths to Take” is a refreshing, uplifting take on an overwhelming time in one's life. She has a bright future ahead of her, and I'm excited to host her in D.C. and see which of those million paths she selects. Congratulations, Cora! 🩷👏🏼 #CongressionalArtCompetition

We’re Suing the Trump Administration for Greenlighting Extinction in the Gulf of Mexico Whales, sea turtles, fish, rays, manatees, corals, and birds are now without protection.

WE’RE SUING: The Trump admin moved to allow oil and gas companies in the Gulf of Mexico to ignore endangered species protections. The admin claims this will bring energy security, but Gulf communities know what unrestrained drilling will bring: devastating oil spills and destruction of ecosystems.

Are you feeling the squeeze of higher prices across the board? Whether it's gas prices, electric bills, groceries, or health care — I want to hear your story. Join me for a People's Hearing on High Prices on April 9th. 🤝

Higher prices. Fewer jobs. More chaos.

That’s the Trump economy—while billions go to a war overseas, families here are left paying more for less.

Congressional Republicans are raising costs. I am fighting to lower them.

Thanks to all the talented students across Tampa Bay who participated in this year's Congressional Art Competition 👏🏼 Congratulations to Blake High School's Cora Bowen, whose "A Million Paths to Take" won this year's competition and will be displayed at the U.S. Capitol building this year!

Federal ‘God squad’ poised to exempt oil and gas drilling in the Gulf from endangered species rules A U.S. government panel was due to convene Tuesday for the first time since 1992 to consider exempting oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from the Endangered Species Act due to un…

Going around the Endangered Species Act to drill in the Gulf is reckless & won’t do anything to ease the squeeze on your pocketbooks. 💵

Instead, it’ll allow Trump’s close friends (Big Oil and Gas) to profit off consumers even more at the expense of our beautiful Gulf.

After weeks of Republican obstruction and a costly air travel nightmare, a bipartisan bill passed the Senate this morning to fund TSA, Coast Guard & FEMA, but House Republicans have rejected it — all so they can keep funding ICE abuses.

D.C. may look pretty right now, but what’s going on inside the walls of Capitol Hill isn’t. House Republicans are about to let Congress leave for 2 weeks with no progress made to pay our TSA agents or put guardrails on ICE.
