Going to college shouldn’t put someone in lifelong debt, but it does. When the federal government started lending unlimited money to kids for a college education, universities took advantage, and tuition skyrocketed. We need to SHRINK the size of government, hold schools accountable, and make education AFFORDABLE again!

Democrats’ Medicare for All would put Washington’s bureaucrats in charge of YOUR health care. That means MORE government control and LESS freedom for patients. Look at Canada. In just ONE YEAR, 23,746 Canadians DIED while waiting for medical care. In 2025, patients waited an average of more than HALF A YEAR for a specialist. When you’re sick, waiting isn’t just inconvenient. It can mean months of pain and delayed care. Unfortunately, it can even be a death sentence. Democrats pushing Medicare for All owe Americans answers. How would their plan prevent long waits, protect access to doctors and preserve patient choice?

Congratulations to @SusieWiles, who has done an excellent job delivering for the American people at the White House. Susie is a fighter, she loves working for the American people, and has helped @POTUS accomplish so much that truly delivers for hardworking families. I know she’ll keep up the good fight in her new role. I’ve known @StephenM for years and look forward to working with him to Make Washington Work for every family. We must be relentlessly focused on building the American economy, growing American jobs, and keeping the American Dream alive.
Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff.   Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime. I’m so proud to have been a part of what we’ve accomplished together from securing our border and cutting taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America First. More than anything, I’m grateful for the extraordinary people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will.

Democrats want to tax the rich to pay for their socialist agenda. Will it work? The total wealth of every U.S. billionaire combined is about $7 trillion. Forget taxes…if the government could magically seize all that wealth at its current value, it would only pay for 20% of Medicare for All. There are two ways for Dems to pay for their agenda: significantly raise taxes for EVERY SINGLE WORKING AMERICAN or massively increase the debt which will cause more inflation and hike interest rates. The only way to lower prices is LESS GOVERNMENT.

Socialist government healthcare means higher costs, longer wait times, and worse outcomes. We need to fix healthcare by LOWERING COSTS & EMPOWERING PATIENTS. My More Affordable Care Act puts PATIENTS FIRST.
Democrats claim spending $30 TRILLION for socialist Medicare for All is the answer. Canada shows us it doesn’t work. Canadians typically wait 28 weeks to get treatment from a specialist — that’s more than HALF A YEAR. Obamacare was a disaster. Medicare for All is truly dangerous and WRONG for America.

The only way to avoid a Democrat disaster on healthcare is to pass my More Affordable Care Act. The Democrat $30 TRILLION Medicare for All plan will bankrupt America. My plan lowers costs & gives you the power to choose your own healthcare ⬇️ rickscott.senate.gov/2026/1/…

Republicans are fighting to keep our communities’ safe and borders secure. Democrats have been clear they'll stop at nothing to undermine our efforts. We CANNOT allow criminal illegal aliens to put our kids and grandkids' lives at risk EVER AGAIN.

Sheridan Gorman. Katie Abraham. Jocelyn Nungaray. Laken Riley.   These young women had their entire lives ahead of them, but it was tragically cut short when they were brutally murdered by illegal aliens.   This is what Democrats stand for. It’s disgusting.   We can never go back to that. @POTUS and Republicans have secured our border and made our country safe, so no family ever has to go through this again.
