I'm hosting regular press conferences to spread the word on President Trump's dangerous agenda and what Democrats are doing in response. Most recently, I organized a press conference at Belvedere Elementary School in West Palm to push back against Trump and DOGE's attacks on our local food banks and nonprofits, who help keep our children fed over the summer when school is out. You can watch the replay of that press conference here.

I’ve been attending as many rallies as I can, standing alongside federal workers, seniors, and our hardworking neighbors who are speaking out against Trump’s chaos and cruelty.

My team and I keep my social media pages updated with posts, videos, and articles to keep you informed on what I’m up to and the work we’re doing in South Florida and in Washington. I encourage you to subscribe to my newsletter here or follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and BlueSky to stay in the loop.

Stay up to date on how my team and I are communicating with the press below:

As part of House Democrats’ push to hold the Trump Administration accountable, I’ve led and joined letters to the President and his cabinet to call out harmful actions, demand transparency, and defend the programs working families rely on across our country. Below are some of the letters I’ve led or joined:

• A letter urging Acting Social Security Commissioner Leland Dudek to keep all active Social Security field offices open, including the office on Clematis Street in West Palm.
• A letter urging Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought to reverse proposed cuts to the NOAA and National Weather Service workforce that threaten hurricane preparedness and response in Florida and across the country.
• A letter requesting Secretary of State Marco Rubio to provide details on the Trump Administration’s foreign assistance review, including a list of terminations and payment information.
  
• A letter urging National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya to reconsider a proposed rule that would have a harmful impact on life-saving research across Florida’s universities, cancer centers, and health systems.
• A letter urging President Donald Trump to rescind his executive order stripping collective bargaining rights from 75 percent of the federal workforce, which would be an unprecedented assault on the rights of 1.5 million federal employees and the broader labor movement.
• A letter urging USPS Deputy Postmaster General Doug Tulino to halt his decision to eliminate 10,000 postal worker positions, which would undermine mail delivery services, delay essential prescriptions and payments, and hurt federal workers who serve communities across the country.
• A letter urging Acting FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton to reverse the Administration’s decision to pause the release of federal grant funding, including the Non-Profit Security Grant Program, which provides life-saving support to protect faith-based communities and institutions.

Advocacy organizations have filed over 200 lawsuits challenging the Trump Administration’s harmful actions. While Members of Congress cannot sue the federal government directly, we’re actively supporting legal teams and advocacy groups by providing the information they need to hold the President accountable in court. You can track all the ways Democrats are aiding the legal processes here. You can track each pending lawsuit by clicking here. You can also track where many of Trump’s initiatives stand in the legal process here . Below are some recent court rulings that have gone against the Trump Administration: 

• Mass Layoffs Halted: A federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s executive order that enabled the administration to fire tens of thousands of federal workers and to eliminate certain agencies entirely. (Click here to learn more)

• School Funding Threat Unconstitutional: Three judges, including a Trump-appointed judge in Maryland, issued separate rulings limiting the Trump Administration’s ability to withhold federal funds from public schools over their diversity and inclusion policies. (Click here to learn more)

• Election Power Grab Blocked: A judge blocked part of Trump’s sweeping executive order on voting, finding that the president does not have the power to regulate federal elections. (Click here to learn more)

• Another Deportee Ordered Back From El Salvador: A Trump-appointed judge ruled that the Administration must return a second man who was improperly deported from the U.S. to El Salvador in violation of a previous court order. (Click here to learn more)

• Voice of America Restored: A judge blocked the Trump Administration from dismantling the Voice of America after Trump unlawfully shuttered the Congressionally-created news agency. Voice of America provides news to authoritarian countries that don’t have a free press. It began in World War II as a counterpoint to Nazi propaganda and played a prominent role in the U.S. government’s Cold War efforts to curb the spread of communism. (Click here to learn more)

As part of House Democrats’ push to hold the Trump Administration accountable, I’ve signed onto amicus briefs, which are legal filings submitted to the courts by Members of Congress to offer additional perspective in key court cases. Below are some of the briefs I’ve joined:

• An amicus brief  defending birthright citizenship and opposing the Trump Administration’s unconstitutional executive order aimed at ending this constitutional protection.
• An amicus brief  challenging the Trump Administration’s misuse of tariff authority, emphasizing that only Congress holds the power to impose tariffs and regulate commerce, and arguing that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the President authority to impose reckless, inconsistent tariffs that have destabilized the U.S. economy.
• An amicus brief  challenging the Trump Administration’s attempt to shut down the U.S. Department of Education by placing half of its workforce on administrative leave without approval from Congress.
