Your vote deserves leaders with the backbone to defend it. The DOJ announced election-related charges against 48 noncitizens, including six in Florida. We have to back investigators, give prosecutors the resources to make their cases and demand accountability for anyone who broke the law. Free and fair elections are the bedrock of our Republic.

AOC is campaigning with Senate candidates Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and Troy Jackson in Maine to put more socialists in Washington. Every seat they win means more influence over your taxes, spending and freedom. Take them seriously. Make them defend their agenda. Get out and vote to stop this radical movement.

A 15-year-old has been arrested in connection with the shooting near FAMU that injured 12 people. This is heartbreaking on every level. Families are hurting, lives have been changed, and a young person is now facing serious consequences. We have a responsibility to teach our kids right from wrong, that actions have consequences, and that violence is never the answer. I commend the Tallahassee Police Department for their swift action and stand with law enforcement as they continue their investigation.

To the surprise of no one, China is using fishing boats with trained, state-backed crews alongside coast guard ships to prepare for a potential conflict. Beijing is hiding military ambitions behind civilian vessels while bullying Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines. miamiherald.com/news/nation-…

New Yorkers elected a mayor. What they got was a socialist propaganda machine. The New York Post reports Mamdani’s team has delayed government meetings to brainstorm “social media videos.” Socialist promises might get applause online. They don’t balance a budget or keep communities safe. VOTE Republican. nypost.com/2026/10/22/us-new…

If you're a veteran, you have likely led teams, maintained equipment and delivered under pressure. Those skills have value. The VA is highlighting transportation careers that put military experience to work. Help veterans get the credentials and connections to get hired. Hiring a veteran isn’t charity. It’s a smart investment. news.va.gov/150458/transport…

USDA announced approximately $50.5 million in farm safety net and conservation payments for Florida producers and landowners. Eligible producers: check with your local Farm Service Agency office about payments and enrollment. Our farmers have bills to pay and another crop to get in the ground. fsa.usda.gov/news-events/new…

A parent asking what their child is being taught is doing their job. Schools should be able to answer without getting defensive or making families jump through hoops. Parents shouldn’t need a lawyer or a public records fight to find out what’s happening in their kid’s classroom.

This is why Florida must keep Republican leadership: our job is to make this state a place where businesses invest, employers hire and families can build a future. You can raise the tax rate. You can’t make people stay and pay it. Bernie Sanders backs California’s proposed billionaire wealth tax, while two Stanford economists warn it could drive residents away and bring in less revenue than it promises. Get out and vote like our future depends on it. It does. cbsnews.com/news/california-…

A radicalized Texas teenager allegedly plotted to assassinate Congressman Keith Self after consuming ISIS propaganda online. The FBI stopped him. Good. Anyone who plots murder for ISIS should be hunted down, arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We will not wait for an American family to bury one of our own before we act. nypost.com/2026/10/22/us-new…

No veteran should be left sleeping on the street. A new VA contract with Volunteers of America Florida makes 18 existing beds in Gainesville free for eligible homeless veterans, with help accessing care, employment resources and permanent housing. A temporary bed is the starting point. The mission is lasting stability and independence. alligator.org/article/2026/1…

Before a major development gets approved, residents deserve answers. Can the roads handle it? Is there enough water? Who pays for the infrastructure it requires? Florida can welcome investment without letting developers call all the shots. The people who live there deserve a say before the deal is done.

When someone breaks into your home, you need a cop at the door. When a violent criminal is arrested, you need a prosecutor willing to put him away. The Democratic Socialists of America want to abolish police and prisons. Your neighborhood is not a testing ground for their Socialist BS.

Yesterday at UCF, I visited the Military and Veteran Student Success Center and met with student veterans alongside UCF board member Tom McNamara and @UCF_MVSS Director Michael Kepner. Through mentorship, career development and other resources, @UCF is helping veterans, service members and military families succeed in the classroom and beyond. Our veterans have already answered the call to serve. Kudos to UCF for leading in their support of veterans and their families.

A four-year degree isn’t the only path to a good career. Young Floridians deserve opportunities to learn valuable skills and put them to work. I carried the Liberty Workforce Innovation Center project in the Senate, and it was great to see it completed and speak at Monday’s grand opening in Hillsborough County. Through this new facility, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tampa Bay will connect young people with hands-on training, industry credentials and local employers. Proud to help bring this opportunity home.

Nobody should live in fear inside their own home. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Florida’s certified domestic violence centers offer emergency shelter, safety planning and counseling. Help is available even if you don’t need shelter. Victims and their children deserve safety, and action when they are in danger. myflfamilies.com/services/ab…

Yesterday, I was honored to attend the 25th Annual Fair Harvest Awards in Hillsborough County, recognizing the hardworking Floridians who keep our agricultural industry strong. This event celebrates agricultural achievement, leadership and the preservation of our state’s farming heritage. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, and thank you for your dedication to an industry that means so much to Florida. Our farmers feed our families, fuel our economy and help keep Florida strong. They deserve our unwavering support.

American citizenship means something. The right to vote in our elections belongs to American citizens. Verify eligibility. Keep voter rolls accurate. Investigate credible evidence of illegal voting and prosecute those in violation. Calling illegal voting rare is no argument for tolerating it. Enforce the law. Zero tolerance. We must ensure that lawful elections are protected.

France’s leaders admit their security response failed. With another major protest planned in Paris this weekend, they’re promising stronger protection. Never surrender the streets to a mob! Too late for business owners standing in wreckage. Stop the excuses. Enforce the damn law. America needs to pay attention and adapt before this plagues our people. euronews.com/2026/10/20/fran…

The Democratic Socialists of America want public ownership of our largest corporations and essential industries. It’s written into their own program. Think about who would be making the decisions about the industries you depend on: the same politicians who can’t explain where your tax dollars went. Americans work too hard to have politicians take control of what they’ve built.
