Florida Democrats: "A temporary solution to end the Republican shutdown is not a real solution because 4.7 million Floridians will STILL be at risk of loosing [sic] their healthcare come 2026. This is the time for Democrats to double down, not throw in the towel. A deal without healthcare is unacceptable, plan and simple."
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: "Pharma own congress. The Senate Democrats weren't fighting for you. They were fighting for their cartel."
Governor Ron DeSantis: "Young people who prefer socialism to capitalism have no doubt been influenced by ideologically-slanted institutions of higher education, but they also conflate capitalism with some of the perversions of free enterprise they have seen in their lifetimes: Wall St. bailouts, corporate welfare and cronyism. These perversions are basically a form of venture socialism for the well-connected and are anathema to a true market-based economy."
Rep. Byron Donalds: "Thank you to my friend @chiproytx for your support! It's been an honor to fight alongside you to secure conservative wins in the halls of Congress. As Governor, we will keep Florida a standard-bearer for conservative leadership in America & take our state to the NEXT LEVEL."
