Some ✨personal news✨: very excited to have recently started with Senator
@PattyMurray
’s office as Deputy Communications Director!
Stoked to be back on (the other side of) the Hill and to be working for Washington state’s favorite “mom in tennis shoes.” 👟👟👟🌲🍎
Gillum: "My grandmother used to say a hit dog will holler and it hollered through this room...He's got neo-Nazis helping out through this state...I'm not calling Mr. DeSantis a racist. I'm simply saying the racists consider him a racist"
ON AIR IN FLORIDA:
@JoeBiden
's new ad "Dignity" emphasizes how the pandemic has badly hurt older Americans and lays out the steps Biden and Harris would take to protect seniors.
Folks, here’s the deal:
some ✨personal💫 news.
Very stoked to join team Florida as Deputy Communications Director to help flip our state blue and send
@JoeBiden
to the White House. LFG!

😎☀️🌴🇺🇸
Let’s not forget how the
@FloridaGOP
spared no effort to subvert & gut widely popular constitutional amendments like the water & land conservation initiative from 14’ & rights restoration from 18’.
(Both passed by more than 2/3 of all Floridians !!)
People do remember how the GOP moved to strip the NC Gov. of powers in the lame duck after Dems flipped the office in 2016, and how they rushed similar schemes in WI and MI in 2018. It didn’t take Trump’s lawsuits for GOP to cultivate an entitlement to rule elections be damned.
How lock-step are Jennifer Wexton and Nancy Pelosi? Close enough that Pelosi appointed Wexton to stand in as Speaker Pro Tempore this morning.
It’s time to send Jennifer Wexton packing - visit my campaign at to learn more!
At a grassroots Ridin’ for Biden event, Rep.
@HattersleyforFL
tells Floridians to GET REGISTERED📋 before the October 5 deadline this Monday! 🗓
Then make a PLAN to VOTE EARLY for
@JoeBiden
! And if you’re voting by mail: seal📩, sign🖊, and deliver📬 your ballot ASAP🗳
I am proud to announce that today we launched Blue Shift Florida, the Florida Democratic Party’s first ever statewide coordinated campaign. We are all united under one goal: electing democrats in November and creating an infrastructure for years to come.
It's dishonest for
@juliaajohnson_
to report that we declined to comment. That's not true.
We provided a comment, which is below. For over a year,
@FoxNews
has refused to respond to this basic question.
Charlie Crist and Nikki Fried, who are vying for the Democratic nomination for governor, just posted their final fundraising reports.
Crist's biggest donor is a teacher's union. Fried's is a lobbyist for FPL and Big Sugar.
MAY THE PHONES BE WITH YOU:
@HamillHimself
and
@AnnaForFlorida
encourage volunteers to awaken the force and get out the early vote for
@JoeBiden
in order to bring forth a new hope.
please respect my decision to have a dirty car. it is a part of my personality. even the sound of the horn is bad. it does not go “beep” it goes “HELP. FUCK”. sorry but that’s just me! i prefer to be covered in shit because i love it. thank you

honestly nothing worse than the pipeline of type A freaks who move to dc to do foreign policy “analysis” so they can live out their fantasy of treating the world like a game of stratego
Sen.
@PattyMurray
in Seattle today with
@WaGunResponsib
,
@LizBerryWA
, student leaders, parents, and educators calling for common sense gun safety reforms. Washington state is leading the country on gun safety, but we need federal solutions, not a patchwork of laws.
As always
@AnnaForFlorida
is demonstrating strong moral leadership at a time when—unfortunately—not all of our leaders will.
So glad she’s serving in the Florida House.
Today in
#HD47
we rallied for
#NoWarWithIran
and advocating for both peace and diplomacy. 🕊
Grateful for the solidarity from Central Floridians of all backgrounds. ✨
On healthcare: I don't think I'm going to trust the guy who told cancer patients to go to the emergency room.
@RonDeSantisFL
is lying to your face when he says he'll protect families with preexisting conditions--don't buy it.

Left-of-center billionaires: please just invest in taking back the Senate and flipping state legislatures!
We lost Florida in 2018 by less than 1%. Senator Nelson was massively outspent, so many potentially competitive state leg races went underfunded—do not run for President!!

@munozka315
is so sharp & great at what he does. He is also a genuinely good person that everyone loves working with.
We absolutely love to see it. Congrats to one of the best!!!👏🏼🎉🎊

Former Congressman Jim Davis poses an important question: “When you see
@RonDeSantisFL
today, ask him why he thinks insurance companies can discriminate on price with respect to the millions of Floridians with preexisting conditions.”

So
@AndrewGillum
made a stop in Sarasota today to talk red tide with

NLRB rules that when majority of staff sign up to unionize, employer can still insist on secret ballot vote, but if boss violates law in ways major enough to require overturning the election, company has to recognize the union rather than having a new vote
Governor
@TerryMcAuliffe
came down to Ft. Myers to
#BringItHome
for Florida’s next Governor,
@AndrewGillum
. Healthcare is on the ballot & McAuliffe pulled no punches:
@RonDeSantisFL
won’t expand Medicaid and he won’t protect Floridians with preexisting conditions. Vote!
**goes on a date with someone who doesn’t work in politics, he eventually discovers I work in PoLiTicS**
Him: 2020!! Pete Buttigieg!! Donald Trump!! Why can’t Democrat’s win!?
Me: 🤮NooOoooOooOOooooo🤮
thinking about
@SenBillNelson
(for no particular reason) and how a well timed investment in voter registration maybe just a year before election day (like around now) would have secured a different outcome 🙃
.
@POTUS
’s jobs plan makes needed investments in caregiving—giving seniors and people with disabilities the care they need while giving care workers the raise they deserve.
Today, Tampa Bay leaders stood with
@ChrisKingFL
to say that healthcare is on the ballot this November. 22 days to Election Day and
@RonDeSantisFL
has no healthcare plan—that’s unacceptable. Florida families can’t afford DeSantis Care.

in Seattle today talking about how the Inflation Reduction Act will create good-paying clean energy jobs and lower everyday energy costs! ⚡️☀️🔋💨👷♀️👩🔬
Can’t overstate what a fundamentally good and kind person
@johannacervone
is. She has the added benefit of also being brilliant, calm under pressure, and totally forthright.
This is a great hire. Better days ahead for Miami-Dade.
Our first hiring news from Miami-Dade Mayor-elect
@votedaniella
:
Chief of staff will be
@johannacervone
, former commission aide to her and former Fla Dem and UM exec who was active in the Levine Cava campaign, too.
Rep. Wexton is an incredibly patient and kind boss and such a deeply good person above all.
She is also easily one of the most focused, effective, and dedicated Members of Congress—and she will continue to be.
Very proud to have worked for her.
On
#WorldParkinsonsDay
, I'm here to share that I've been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.
I'm doing well, and I want to bring about as much good from this diagnosis as I can—including here in Congress.
Anyone notice

Hey
@TwitterSupport
that probably shouldn’t be a feature for verified elected officials.
Biden’s speech just now was a missed opportunity & plays right into the hands of divisiveness
Millions of Americans had doubts about the election but didn’t sign up for a riot
Using today to re-litigate the events of the last year forces people back to their respective corners
“For well over a decade, the no-nonsense Washington lawmaker has been the single most effective Democratic combatant against Republican attempts to restrict abortion and otherwise roll back reproductive health-care rights on Capitol Hill.”
WOW: By a 5–4 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court reverses a lower court order extending the deadline for mail-in ballots in Wisconsin. All four liberals dissent.
The conservative majority just effectively threw out thousands of ballots. Incredible.
Link coming soon.
NEW: Quietly and without fanfare, Florida Surgeon General Scott Rivkees on Saturday issued a public health advisory recommending people wear face masks in public.
Filmed this 6 years ago with

Florida Republicans blocked voting sites on college campuses. In 2018, a federal judge struck it down as a "stark pattern of discrimination."
In 2020, we're seeing 90%+ turnout on college campuses.
Progress.
