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!

Spoke with Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey as Floridians continue to face dangerous flooding. Please be safe. Floodwaters can be deadly! If you see standing water, remember: turn around so you don’t drown.

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.

Americans shouldn’t be required to change clocks twice a year It’s time to pass the Sunshine Protection Act
Did you turn your clock back? Are you tired of it yet? So am I. It’s time for the Senate to pass the Sunshine Protection Act and end it once and for all!

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.

Tonight, we once again have to take part in the outdated practice of changing our clocks. Americans are tired of it. It’s time for the Senate to pass my Sunshine Protection Act to get rid of this ridiculous time change.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Recent polls show more Americans want permanent Standard Time, the opposite of Senator Scott’s permanent DST. —Gallup: news.gallup.com/poll/657584/ha… —ActiVote: activote.net/analysis/stop-… —Rasumussen: rasmussenreports.com/public_content… Historical polls show support for Scott’s permanent DST reverses into opposition when its 9am sunrises are experienced: rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/10504

Julia Curvo, a 28-year-old woman, and 51-year-old Nilufa Easmin, a mother of two, were strangled and beaten to death by an illegal alien let in under the Biden Administration.   Democrats would rather keep these murderers lurking on our streets than keep Americans SAFE. Republicans aren’t letting that continue. @POTUS continues to ensure these criminals are off our streets and can no longer step foot on American soil. He is commited to ensuring that every American feels safe.   We cannot and will not go back to these dark times.
FLASHBACK: A mother of two was brutally MURDERED in Fort Myers, Florida, by a Haitian national who repeatedly struck her in the head with a hammer. This illegal alien entered the U.S. in 2022 under the Biden administration, was released, and later received Temporary Protected Status. Americans should NEVER have to fear for their lives in their own communities. But this is the reality as a result of politicians who have FAILED the American people. Under @POTUS Trump and @SecMullinDHS, ICE is working around the clock to get violent criminals OFF our streets and OUT of our country. We will NOT stop fighting to protect American lives and MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN! foxnews.com/politics/white-h…

Tomorrow, millions of Americans will be forced to interrupt their busy lives to change every clock they have — your car, your oven, your alarm clock. Annoying, isn’t it? It doesn’t have to be this way! We need to pass the Sunshine Protection Act ASAP and lock the clock once and for all!

It’s alarming to see so many people turning to socialism and forgetting the costs. Socialism = LESS FREEDOM and GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER of our lives. And it fails EVERY TIME!

This sick behavior is EXACTLY why we cannot allow leftist policies to run our cities.
Reckless Obama open-border policies allowed this MS-13 TERRORIST into Florida communities. Now, an innocent victim is dead. The cost of open-border policies is paid in innocent lives.

Getting a college education used to mean setting yourself up for success. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case for the young Americans drowning in student debt. Enough. We need to shrink the size of government and hold schools accountable to make education AFFORDABLE again.
