NO MAS! NO MAS!

Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers have expressed their distaste for the practice of human trafficking that has been occurring as a result of the border crisis with Mexico, particularly the trafficking of migrant children.

While Democrats have paid the issue lip service, and the Biden administration has dismissed the border crisis as being over, Republican lawmakers continue to file legislation to push back against illegal immigration as well as human trafficking and continue pressing the Biden administration to push back harder against the drug cartels controlling the flow of illegal immigration and the criminality that comes with it. READ MORE

In bed with Communist China

The Ford Motor Company has announced a deeper partnership with China and President Biden is praising the newly-minted union.

Regardless of how it is spun, the CCP is actively trying to undermine the U.S. at every military and economic turn, so why are U.S. companies trying to expand their business in China?

Taxes. Simple as that. Biden has hiked up the corporate tax rate. READ MORE

Jared Moskowitz-The FL bill to lower the age to 18 to buy a gun in Florida is dead! As I said from the beginning of session. The Marjory Stoneman Douglas School safety bill that I helped pass 5 years ago remains intact.

Rep. María Elvira Salazar-I just sent a letter to @SecMayorkas demanding the Biden Administration supply Guatemala with the resources they need to stop the expected surge of migrants when Title 42 expires next week! @POTUS, it's time to end this crisis NOW!

Representative Fentrice Driskell-I am pleased to announce that House Bill 1481 has passed the Florida House unanimously! This bill will require DOH to establish & maintain a sickle cell registry. I look forward to seeing all the good that will come from this legislation

AG Ashley Moody-Fentanyl deaths continue to skyrocket—up more than 300% in just 5 years—yet @JoeBiden continues to allow the Mexican drug cartels to traffic this poison across our border in record amounts. Sadly, this crisis will get worse once Title 42 expires in 1 week.

Byron Donalds- I'm a hard NO on a temporary debt ceiling increase. House Republicans did our job. Now it's time for Democrats to stop punting and get serious about a path forward. They should support the House GOP package if they cannot devise a serious plan.
