    Florida is breaking all the wrong records. The governor has failed to protect the lives of Floridians. He has failed to protect our small businesses. We need a statewide mask order and a plan NOW.

  2. The number of people hospitalized with the coronavirus is nearing its highest point in the pandemic. The U.S. is averaging 66K new cases each day. Follow the numbers. Follow the science.

  3. Unemployment benefits are on the verge of expiration & an eviction crisis is on the horizon. It has been 70 days since the House passed the HEROES Act. , it’s time for action. Take a vote. Authorize unemployment assistance for the millions who need it.

  4. The grace and poise I saw in was extraordinary. It’s what the moment demanded. Women and our girls will not be silenced, will not be put down, our daughters deserve better. /3

  5. Insults will not intimidate us. We will stand together as women and call it out for the shameful, disgusting behavior it is. Harassment of any kind can never be tolerated—not in the halls of Congress, not anywhere! /2

  6. I’m the youngest of 4 girls & the mother of 2. I worry about the day when verbal assaults will be used against my loves to try & degrade, humiliate & keep them down. I’ve felt it, even as a member of Congress. Just read my social media comments any given day. /1

  7. I held a telephone town hall w/ thousands of constituents to hear what you need from Congress. Overwhelmingly, I heard you need help. Another direct payment, extended unemployment & better testing. I’m working on it. Let’s get this done

  9. His non-response is equal to ignoring the millions of constituents we represent.

  12. Trump & Republican Senators have dragged their feet for 10 weeks. And while they have refused to abandon their one-sided “pause” on responding to COVID-19, millions of Americans have gotten sick & lost their jobs. Pass the NOW!

  13. We’ve witnessed this president use the pardon power to keep his allies from facing justice, and to keep the public from hearing the truth. This is how democracies fail. There must be consequences.

  14. Florida continues breaking its own grim milestones. Today, 173 lives were lost to COVID-19. , many times I’ve offered advice, recommendations, and resources. But this ineffective leadership continues endangering lives.

  15. When a president abuses the pardon power to protect himself or as a bribe, there must be consequences. This is how democracies fail. This is what I saw in Latin America, where dictators hold themselves and their cronies above the rule of law and above the people.

  16. We are holding this administration accountable! Today, is marking up legislation to make it clear: NO ONE is above the law. WATCH LIVE:

    U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell introduced a bill Wednesday that would allow childcare centers to use federal funds to invest in personal protective equipment and cleaning materials, as providers face steep challenges to remain open during the pandemic.

  18. Parents in SoFL & across the country are trying to return to work but are either unable to find childcare or waiting for assurances that their children will be safe from COVID. I'm taking steps to make these facilities safer & give parents peace of mind.

  19. Unidentifiable federal officers attacking Americans, mothers! this is what happens in VZ, Bolivia, Nicaragua, El Salvador—if you don’t denounce these attacks against our people I don’t want to hear ONE WORD from you about freedom in Venezuela. Enough!

  20. My kids – Jude & Siena – always sought out John Lewis when they were in DC. They looked up to him...like we all do. He worked with joy in his heart, without fear, and with faith. A fighter against injustice. It is our obligation to honor his legacy by carrying his work forward.

  21. I speak with constituents who tell me that this help kept them afloat. Some were laid off. Others had hours cut. And this helped them pay rent and buy groceries. This crisis would've been worse, had we not stepped in. We must extend this lifeline.
