It’s been 25 years. We will never forget.

We still mourn the 2,977 lives lost on that horrible day — families in New York and across America shattered by an act of cowardly, unthinkable violence.

We still remember the heroes — the first responders who ran towards danger, the patriots who rushed the cabin of United Flight 93.

We will never forget. Erika and I are praying for all of the 9/11 families today.

One year ago today, we lost a true American patriot.

Charlie Kirk’s legacy will live on through the millions of young people he inspired and the movement he built around defending faith, family, and freedom.

Miss you, brother. We’re still in the fight. 🇺🇸

Proud to sign on with fellow members of the Florida delegation to formally request that our state be the permanent home for the United States Space Academy.

To properly shape and equip the next generation of aerospace leaders, the academy must be located where the action is—in the shadow of our nation’s premier launch facilities.

America leads. Florida launches.

Thanks to President Donald J. Trump and Republicans, prescription drug prices are hitting their lowest levels in more than 60 years.

This is what America First policies look like in action.

Yesterday afternoon, I joined NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and my colleagues in Congress for a press conference announcing MAX POWER.

The MAX POWER aerospace technology expo and air show will showcase the power of American exceptionalism, securing our absolute dominance in space as we continue to lead the world into a new Golden Age of space exploration.

I look forward to this major two-day event in November!

I’m proud to announce that the U.S. Department of Transportation has just granted the Florida Department of Transportation more than $350 million in funds to improve and invest in our railways across Florida. This will make a real impact on transportation resources like Brightline, Amtrak, Floridian, and AutoTrain routes.

It’s an honor to work with President Donald J. Trump's administration to invest in the future of Florida.

On National Purple Heart Day, we honor the courage and sacrifice of all service members wounded or killed in combat defending our great nation.

We owe them an immeasurable debt and stand forever grateful for their service.

Scott, Donalds push bill to speed up federal approval of state wildlife plans.

“When states do the work to protect wildlife, Washington should do its part by reviewing their plans on time,” Donalds said. “Giving agencies 180 days to act will help cut through red tape and ensure states can keep protecting the wildlife and natural resources their communities depend on.”

U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., has introduced legislation that would require the U.S. Department of the Interior to act within 180 days on state wildlife conservation plans, an effort supporters say would reduce delays in funding for conservation projects.
