The #Halftime #badbunny show was the epitome of Latino culture, an intimate party with family, love, country and dance. I felt at home. We were all at home with Bad Bunny tonight and that’s what made his performance brilliant.

According to @GrageDustin @X is the best networking tool. I’ve said it for a long time: users shouldn’t abandon a platform because of the increased polarization. If you want to be a part of the conversation, this platform should be part of your social media plan.

In Congress I learned that in this polarized environment you don’t win or lose your race because of a vote.The attacks in contested races are strategically coordinated regardless of any one vote. So, my advice is, win or lose, vote your conscience & hold the Republic together.

If you haven’t done so, register now! Next Tuesday at noon, we’re hosting along with Global Americans a serious conversation on what comes next for Venezuela after Maduro. We’re cutting through the noise to focus on what’s really going on: Will there be a democratic transition? 👉 lnkd.in/e9ZUKrWH

There is so much to talk about these 2025 elections. But there is one area I’m watching that the media has hardly covered this cycle: the Latino vote. Asi que, pongan atención porque se van a sorprender con lo que viene….

Extremely dangerous to threaten to arrest duly elected legislators for standing up against a direct attack on the people’s voting rights though a politically biased map. And they do it Bc they know their extreme agenda is losing support and they want to maintain control at all costs. @Univision VIX

The White House is lying about the timeline before the flash floods in Texas. Trying to cover up their incompetence is immoral & dangerous. It’s not the first time they show complete disregard for loss of life: J6, school shootings, COVID, they lie for self-gain. UnChristian. UnAmerican. NO MAS!

Millions of families across the country may have someone with a disability or a parent who depends on Medicare/ Medicaid, or a friend who’s a single mom that needs Florida KidCare. But now, our health care is at risk bc alt-right polticians are supporting the Big Bad Bill. Call now to #savemedicaid

Trump is coming to FL to celebrate the opening of an illegal project, a waste of federal funds: Alligator Alcatraz. What no one is talking about is how this regime profits from these detention facilities. Trumps’ Big Bad bill provides billions in contracts for mass deportations.@cnnipr.bsky.social

Donald Trump just informed the world on Truth Social that the US has bombed Iran. Only Congress, under the Constitution, has the authority to declare war. They must demand the President inform & coordinate any military action & explain to the American people why he’s brought us into this war.

Elon Musk just publicly stated that without him, Donald Trump would have lost the election and the US Senate would be 51-49 (R/D). I’ve always said we need to conduct an audit: Democrats: stand up and have the fortitude to look into this NOW.

❌ FALSE: Stephen Miller,Trump’s advisor & the architect behind the family separation policies & unconstitutional deportations, is lying to Americans & spreading disinformation. ✅ TRUTH: Trump’s Bad Horrible bill adds over $3 trillion to the deficit while 13+ mill Americans lose their health care.

Florida is home to the largest number of people with TPS, LEGAL temporary status to live and work in the US. 200,000 people including Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans. But Trump, with his xenophobia and anti-immigrant agenda went straight to the Supreme Court - now he has the go ahead…

he amount of people in Miami with regret Trump voting syndrome is real! A Cuban American came to me exploding that her husband who’s been driving a truck for over 10 years to the Keys may lose his job bc he doesn’t speak English well. Another Trump order that directly hurts his base.

Instead of focusing on lowering insurance rates, providing more affordable housing or investing in resilient infrastructure as we face a dangerous hurricane season, @GovRonDeSantis is making sure Floridians have more guns & no flouride: NOT what Floridians want or need. 2026 can’t come soon enough.

In Congress I was not allowed to accept any gifts valued at more than $50, you know, to avoid “conflict of interest.” Now, imagine if I had accepted a $400 million dollar private jet as a member of Congress from a foreign country? It’s not only unethical, it compromises our national security. Punto!

Marco Rubio joyfully welcoming South African immigrants while separating families in our country, deporting US citizens, sending his own community back to communist Cuba and violent dictatorships in Latin America is rotten to the core. Pure racism.

What a night! Thank you to our panelists including powerhouse @Katiephang.bsky.social Tom Hudson @WLRN & UM Hanley Center for hosting us to hold an empowering town hall on immigration. Members of our community shared the devastating effects behind the cruel immigration policies in FL & Washington.

The Trump administration is using an old law to deport immigrants and citizens without due process. Families are being separated. Businesses, communities are being torn apart. We have the power to fight back! Join us for an Immigration Townhall: Wednesday May 7 at 6:30 pm. RSVP at: dmppac.org/may7

We are now in a full constitutional crisis. Trump is defying a Supreme Court order by saying he will not bring back wrongfully deported Abrego Garcia. Trump is burning the Constitution to the ground. Speak up against this blatant abuse of power and lawlessness. Call Congress! #ConstitutionalCrisis

The case of Kilmer Abrego Garcia isn’t just about Trump making a serious mistake deporting him to El Salvador, or when he’ll decide to bring him back home. This is a test. Trump is testing whether he can openly defy the courts, to see how closely Americans are paying attention…

Look at that, Miami-Dade voters are showing strong disapproval for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Meanwhile, María Elvira Salazar and Carlos Giménez aren’t standing with our community, they’re backing Trump’s unconstitutional power grab. Miami, it’s time to stand up for what is right for our country.

Trump and Musk can attack the institutions that were built to lift America up—but there’s one they can’t break: the institution of the people.

Liberation Day? More like Extortion Day. Trump’s tariffs are a tax on hardworking Americans,higher prices on everything from food to cars. He’s not freeing anyone;he’s squeezing families dry while feeding his own ego. Esto va a paralizar el crecimiento económico, pagarán en las próximas elecciones.

Trump, Musk, Milei: an international network of right-wing elites using crypto to manipulate billions in federal funds. The rise of these "innovative" coins is more than just a pyramid scheme with insiders enriching themselves while ordinary investors lose millions. Coincidence? No.

Donald Trump & Elon Musk’s illegal order to abolish the Department of Education is an attack on our children. It WILL increase class sizes, cost teachers jobs, harm students with disabilities, and make college/job training out of reach. This isn’t the way to fix our system.

We are now entering a constitutional crisis. Trump blatantly defying a federal judge’s order is an open assault on the rule of law. For those of us who’ve lived through authoritarian regimes we know this is how democracies fall. Do NOT allow this man to place himself above the Constitution.

We stand with you, President Zelenskyy. Your unwavering courage and commitment to protecting the people of Ukraine and preserving the global order based on national sovereignty are truly admirable. Trump and JD Vance do not represent the majority of Americans. Our support for Ukraine remains firm.

That’s not how America works, Elon. We have three equal branches of government to keep each other in check—that’s democracy. Presidents don’t get to rule unchecked, no matter who they are.

What a disgrace! ¡Qué desgracia! Today, the majority of UN member states stood on the right side of history, voting to condemn Russia’s brutal aggression against Ukraine. But Trump? Marco Rubio? The U.S. government? They chose to align with North Korea, Cuba & Venezuela in protecting Russia. 1/3

Tulsi Gabbard is dangerously unfit to lead the top national intelligence agency. In Congress, she proved to be untrustworthy, often parroting Russian talking points undermining U.S. foreign policy. She’s sided w/authoritarians like Maduro, more loyal to adversaries than to the security of America.

Judges DO have the legal authority, as written in the Constitution, to limit executive power. It’s a principle of our system of checks and balances because, in America, we don’t have a monarchy. JD, as a Yale graduate, you’re well aware of this, but yet, you continue to disinform for power & money.

Rick Scott lied to Venezuelans who demanded action against Maduro. He lied to Maria Corina Machado. His actions affect not only Venezuelans but also Cubans who are watching this administration make deals with the most dangerous dictators.

1/2 Today, “Hugo Trump” and his loyalists are meeting in Miami—ground zero for one of the cities with the largest number of undocumented immigrants, including DACA recipients, agricultural workers, and those in the hospitality industry. But you won’t see many raids happening here. Why?….
