When retirees start leaving Florida, you know we have some serious problems.
Florida's net gain of just 815 retirees in 2025 signals a growing trend of older residents leaving the state for South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee, driven by soaring insurance costs, extreme heat, and a cost of living that has outpaced expectations. Read: rltor.cm/OnzDeQ

Honored to host the Americas Forum with Global Americans & @ForeignPolicy for a bipartisan discussion on Venezuela & Congress’s role. While sides differ on the method, we are united on the goal: protecting freedom & democracy. The path forward requires free & fair elections to ensure human rights, liberty, and economic growth for Venezuela. 🇻🇪🇺🇸

As the first South American Immigrant elected to U.S. Congress and first Latina U.S. Senate nominee in FL, I share why national strategies continue to misread the Latino electorate. My oped 👇🏼

U.S. policy announcements regarding conflict escalation with Iran are now being routed directly through Truth Social and X. This is the new standard for how the White House communicates urgent military and foreign policy matters to millions of Americans.
"I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

If you can’t handle being interviewed without losing your temper, as a politician, then you shouldn’t be in the game. Elected officials answer to the people. Freedom of the press isn't optional. Temperament matters. Truth matters. Transparency is a must.

The Department of Homeland Security has awarded more than $16.3 billion in contracts in the past six months — compared with $2.1 billion from 2016 to 2024. Most of it has gone to two firms that have ties to the White House and the Republican Party. wapo.st/4o97OPD

This is the main topic of conversation today at our GSPM / Global Americans Americas Forward event. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen joins as well, to discuss the future of Venezuela tonight at @GWtweets Graduate School of Political Management.
The Trump administration is eager to sell a success story in Venezuela to lure investors. But for many Venezuelans, impoverished by years of socialist mismanagement and U.S.-led sanctions, the promised boom still feels far away. wapo.st/49F0Cor

A show of bipartisanship that also exerts the power of Congress. The country and the entire hemisphere need more of this.

Yes, there is coordination of U.S. officials helping right wing candidates in Latin America, it has been happening for a few years. This also includes Latin American officials who have personally come to South Florida to influence elections. Desinformación funciona.
Breaking news: President Trump inserted himself energetically into Colombia’s presidential election, endorsing a right-wing candidate. nyti.ms/4u89Fpr

As I was saying…..Congratulations @turek4iowa
I’ve met both Josh Turek and Zach Wahls, two very strong Iowa candidates for Senate. Josh Turek has an incredible story and has the ability to connect with people which can make a difference in tough red states. Americans want candidates that are real, relatable and free of scandal. I am watching this race today….

"Estan metiendo la mano de una manera muy deshonesta con las campañas de desinformación." That’s what an educator in Colombia said where locals are sounding the alarm over the rise of the right-wing candidate. There is growing fear and frustration, which is making some push for a more liberal alternative. The strong arm populist rhetoric doesn’t bring safety but more division. What is concerning is that this dangerous trend is spreading across the entire region. Peligroso.

I’m seeing a lot of crazy attack ads here in Florida without disclosing who’s paying for those ads. Florida law requires any political ad, including digital, to disclose who pays for it, so…..just sayin’

Running for the U.S. Senate is grueling, but the race gives candidates, their families, and their parties a chance to show what they are made of, their strength, commitment and basic ethics. It shows voters exactly who these candidates are, how they will govern, and how they would handle holding tremendous power over the nation. Because of this, public debates shouldn't be optional; they should be required so voters can see how these candidates conduct themselves and actually understand their choices. The media scrutiny isn’t pretty, but it is a necessary part of a working democracy. When a candidate repeatedly shows us a history of poor choices, unethical behavior, discriminatory and hateful rhetoric we have every reason to believe they will act the same way in office. As we watch primaries across the country, ask yourself what the line is for acceptable behavior, and enforce it equally for both parties.
