We are proud to accept Ban The Trade PAC's endorsement.

Americans are united: Over 80% of Dems, GOP, & Independents agree we should ban congressional stock trading.

We're working to institute a strong code of ethics and accountability on our elected leaders in Congress. Join us.

Rep. Moskowitz’s response to the cost of living crisis has been to accept donations from private equity, the construction and real estate market, and private utilities as they raise the cost of rent, electricity, and property insurance.

We have to demand something better.

Lennar regularly works with private real estate corporations like Invitation Homes, the largest single homeowner in Florida with over 25,000 units owned, to create rental-only communities that raise the cost of housing for people in every surrounding area. www.invh.com/news-events/...

Why would a Democrat be the top individual recipient of Lennar’s donations after the NRCC, before a single Republican?

Moskowitz made millions in the private sector, including consulting for Lennar Homes, after his political appointment by Ron DeSantis. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Possible Trump FEMA Pick Made Millions After Florida Disaster-Response Gig

Donald Trump could try to tap Jared Moskowitz to lead FEMA. The Democratic lawmaker held a similar role with Ron DeSantis, and then made millions.

Lennar Corporation is the 2nd-largest homebuilder in the U.S.

Their top 3 recipients of political donations in 2024:

1. House Republicans
2. Jared Moskowitz
3. Jared Moskowitz’s PAC

Housing is unaffordable. Politicians putting private real estate over us is a big reason why.

Trump and his administration are lying to us.

ICE is abusing our constitutional rights.

Trump is attempting to suppress our First Amendment right to peaceful assembly.

Stephen Miller is arguing Trump has plenary authority over the military.

This is textbook authoritarianism.

Trump ran on ending foreign wars. Now he and neoconservative zealot Secretary of State, Florida’s own Marco Rubio are instigating another.

Millennials and Gen Z have known nothing but endless war while the American Dream we were raised to believe in has slipped away. Enough.

Trump has continued to manufacture this crisis with Venezuela by needlessly terminating Temporary Protected Status that regularized the residencies of 350,000 people living in the United States. I spoke out about the crisis in May in the @sunsentinel.bsky.social. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/27/t...

The first Trump admin’s sanctions regime invented a problem they could exploit politically by creating the conditions of economic ruin in Venezuela that drove a migration crisis they could politicize with fear, hatred, and blame for a Latin American government they disagree with.

Trump has ordered the U.S. military to murder noncombatants in vessels off of Venezuela with no evidence of drug smuggling or human trafficking. Now he has severed diplomatic talks with Maduro. Congress must rein in presidential war powers before more atrocities drag us into war.

Florida Power & Light is fighting for a $7 billion rate increase to raise Floridians’ bills by 10%.

FPL sponsored the Florida Democratic Party’s gala and donates to Jared Moskowitz.

Corporate Democrats have sold us out.

Rep. Moskowitz was the only Florida Democrat to vote for Trump’s immigration law to sic ICE on innocent people.

We need to abolish ICE, outlaw private prisons like GEO Group (based in FL23), and pass a pathway to citizenship.

$608M in federal taxpayer $ disbursed to DeSantis’ FDEM for operating a detention center where they lost track of 1200 people & operate without an environmental impact review required by federal law to access these funds. Shut this horrific detention center down. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/10/02/f...

They continue to show they do not give a damn about the lives of 750,000 federal workers either, who now have to get by without a paycheck for who knows how long a day after Trump and DOGE forced out 100,000 federal workers in the largest departure in government history.

Like drawing blood from a stone after $1T in Medicaid cuts, Republicans are holding us hostage with this government shutdown to raise healthcare costs for 22M of us & kick 4M of us off our insurance. They’re bought by the special interests we’re fighting to win Medicare for All.
