Marco Rubio-Every day between now and November the American people are going to know the only reason the border is not secure is Joe Biden and his “America Last” Democrat friends. It’s time for Democrats in Congress to show a little courage, to show a little spine, to make clear to the American people that you work for them, not for illegal migrants.

Rep. Michele K. Rayner-Happy 7th day of Black History Month! Today, we will be commemorating Bessie Coleman and her contributions to society.

Lauren Book-We know the language used in Amendment 4 is clear and precise in limiting government interference with abortion before viability.

I believe the Florida Supreme Court will do what is right, clearing the way for Florida voters to defend reproductive freedom and abortion rights by passing Amendment 4 this November.

Shevrin “Shev” Jones-Today, oral arguments will begin in the Florida Supreme Court to ensure that women have access to reproductive care.

Abortion Rights are essential to democracy!

Absolutely nothing.
