Florida needs a strong, smart, swift FEMA. Qualified professionals must lead this agency, not people playing dress-up.
As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I make sure FEMA has resources it needs.

As political violence and polarization rise, it's even more critical to get real, bipartisan work done for all Americans.
I proudly reached across the aisle to protect NOAA in the Appropriations Committee this week to kees us all safer.
I joined educators, child doctors, vaccine experts and business leaders today to share how DeSantis' reckless vaccine assaults hurt kids, seniors, hospitals and our economy.
We need safe medicines, not wild conspiracies to keep us safe.
All workers need higher wages, cheaper healthcare and Rx, and our health workers need policies that don't destroy jobs. That's what I fight for 24-7.
I joined 1199 SEIU Florida to discuss the attacks on healthcare and workers.
Hurricane-prone South Florida communities count on FEMA.
So, let's make it stronger and more responsive — not kneecap it or gut it.
Eliminating vaccine protections opens the door to disease outbreaks and preventable deaths — as we all saw that firsthand in 2020.
We cannot allow fringe ideology to dictate public health.
Scored a win for public safety! I passed a bipartisan amendment that prevents the Admin from closing NOAA weather forecasting, climate science & research labs across the country that Trump’s budget had slated for cutting & closure. Felt good to come together across the aisle to keep Americans safe.
There is no room for political violence of any kind — ever. Our differences can never be addressed through violence.
The news out of Utah is terrifying and I truly hope Mr. Kirk is able to make a full recovery.

Reposted byRep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz
@wassermanschultz.house.gov amendment would stop funds in this bill from closing down NOAA weather and climate labs and cooperative institutes.
I voted in favor of this amendment, and I'm glad to see it adopted.
Republicans' 2026 spending plan defunds law enforcement, guts programs that invest in American manufacturing, and slashes nonpartisan oversight of the Trump Administration.

Florida benefits massively from NOAA research. Countless lives are saved from timely storm warnings and forecasts.
I proudly secure these critical research funds and will always fight for more life-protecting investments.
I'm focused on improving the lives of working families and children.
As long as this Republican Congress prioritizes billionaires over the most vulnerable, they won't have my support.
After driving up food and housing costs, Republicans now want to shred our safety nets with cuts to Planned Parenthood, anti-tobacco efforts and vital research that will result in lost lives. You deserve better.
Watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight this cruelty: youtu.be/azyKOybUcSQ
Protecting our children, vulnerable seniors and our economy are so important, that it is essential to speak with one voice to shut down any extremist push to undermine life-saving vaccines.
Too many lives and jobs are on the line.

The sweetheart deal that Epstein was given covered for his rich friends too. It's unacceptable.
We need to know who else was responsible for Epstein's heinous sex trafficking and hold them responsible. We need justice.
Florida faces ever-increasing risks from extreme storms. Our Suncoast really felt it.
I joined @usrepkathycastor.bsky.social & @reptimkennedy.bsky.social to hear from USSOCOM, CDC of Tampa & Tampa Emergency Management about Florida's disaster management prep & discuss how a strong FEMA can help.
Why should Americans pay for JD Vance's birthday kayaking trip while families struggle to put food on the table?
Republicans in Congress need to join Democrats to stop the Trump Administration from using our taxpayer dollars as a personal slush fund.
While Epstein cut a sweetheart deal for his heinous crimes, he was STILL abusing young women and girls.
We need the files released and justice for the survivors to ensure it never happens again.
When will House Republicans stand for the people and be the co-equal branch of government the Constitution demands?
Congress has the power of the purse, yet Republicans refuse to confront Trump's funding freezes.
It was a meaningful morning with Run For Their Lives in Plantation. Thanks to Louis Reinstein for organizing this tribute.
Each week, people of all faiths and backgrounds walk #UntilTheLastHostage is with their family. May the remaining 48 be released now.
