Diet Coke always tastes better when you share it with a friend. Thank you for this “cake”, @RepAOC, I just hope my doctor doesn’t see this.

Today, we recognize the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of all who have honorably served our nation. This Veterans Day and every day, we must ensure our veterans and their families receive the care, benefits, and support they have earned.

More bad news for Republicans out of NC, where Dems have seized leads over Reps. Greg Murphy (R) #NC03 and Virginia Foxx (R) #NC05 as provisional ballots have been tallied. Fits longstanding pattern, and same dynamic benefitting Dems in MS & elsewhere.

A constituent in Lombard reached out to my office for assistance with their pending H-4 visa and Employment Authorization Document renewal applications. My team followed up with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on the constituent’s behalf, which helped resolve the issue. Are you having trouble with a federal agency? Reach out to my office and let us help. casten.house.gov/services/he…

I am monitoring the flooding in Central Florida and further south. We remain ready to work with Florida and @fema on any necessary emergency response and relief efforts.
Today, @GovRonDeSantis signed Executive Order 26-227 to expedite resources and assistance to communities impacted by the heavy flooding across portions of Florida. @FLSERT is working closely with local partners to ensure Floridians receive the support they need to respond and recover.

Single-use plastics, electronics, and street litter travel through storm drains straight into critical habitats. Trash doesn’t vanish when it hits the water—it haunts our ecosystem for generations. Pick it up.

We visited @havikvr to explore their portable, high-fidelity VR/AR training systems for the U.S. military, NATO, & special operations forces. Investments in this cutting-edge technology support our troops, improve readiness & training, & create high-quality Central Florida jobs.

Mr. Vice President, if you’re going to insult me at least have the guts to tag my account.
President Donald J. Trump eviscerates imbecile “journalist” Andrew Feinberg for misbehaving in the Oval Office: "What's wrong with you? Are you a sick person? I actually think there's something wrong with you."

This is one of the finest, most powerful television ads I've every seen. Do American a favor and share this everywhere. Heart, not policy papers. Love, not hate. Hope, not fear. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway. To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back. Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

Last night, we hosted a Firefighter Appreciation event to honor outstanding individuals who help keep Central Florida safe. 🚒 I am proud of our efforts to protect them through federal SAFER grants, the Social Security Fairness Act, and our PFAS Injury Compensation Act.

Today, our office received an envelope with a suspicious substance. Thankfully, Congressman Frost’s office gave us advance notice to monitor our mail. The envelope was intercepted by local law enforcement, and no staff was hurt. We are working with federal, state, and local law enforcement to support an investigation. Political violence has no place in our democracy, and we hope those who perpetrated this crime are brought to justice.
