Once again, @repmoskowitz.bsky.social sides with Israel by signaling that he will vote against Rep. Rashida Tlaibโ€™s War Powers Resolution, designed to stop the IDFโ€™s endless bloodshed in Lebanon. This war profiteer gets rich trading stocks while Floridians pay $5 a gallon for gas.

The GEO Group runs Delaney Hall, the ICE facility in Newark where 300 detainees just went on hunger strike over conditions they call torture. So why did Jared Moskowitz write a recommendation letter helping a GEO Group executive become president of Florida Atlantic University?

As AI data centers strain our power grid and drive up energy costs, we went to South Florida's Hollywood Beach to hear how our community feels about AI's impact on their lives. Their top three concerns: excessive water use, job losses, and weak regulation.

Jared Moskowitz confirmed he'll keep taking money from AIPAC โ€” his all-time top donor. AIPAC is a pro-Israel lobbying group, not a stand-in for Jewish Americans. Conflating the two is a disservice to the many Jewish constituents who condemn Israel's actions in Gaza and Lebanon.

15 5

Hasan Piker and @hamawyfornj.bsky.social are standing in solidarity with hunger strikers at GEO Group-operated Delaney Hall in NJ. The acting ICE director is a former GEO exec. @repmoskowitz.bsky.social recommended another GEO exec for FAU president. We need pro-ICE, pro-private prison Dems OUT.

Ron DeSantis and Republicans have dummymandered Florida โ€” and our new poll proves it: Democrats lead Republicans 51โ€“39 in the new 25th district. That's a 12-point lead, and a 21-point swing to the left since 2024.

21 7

Even Republicans are calling Jared Moskowitz Florida's "least effective Democrat" in @WSVN's coverage of this race. This is a Biden +5 district. Democrats can't afford to take it for granted. Looking forward to debating Jared Moskowitz and discussing his record.

7 3

Thanks to NBC 6 for covering our campaign. People are ready for something different. Floridians can't afford more of the same while struggling with rising costs. That's why I'm fighting for Medicare for All, Universal Childcare, and an economy that works for working people.

12 5

Jared Moskowitz was the ONLY Florida Democrat to vote for the Laken Riley Act, Trump's first bill signed last year. How can Moskowitz claim to stand with South Florida when he voted to mandate the detention of our immigrant neighbors, asylum seekers, and mixed-status families?

10 3

This campaign was never about one candidate. It's a shared project of Broward County DSA and the rest of Florida DSA to build working-class power in South Florida. Let's create a politics that finally answers to the people, not corporate donors and billionaires.

19 14

Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social is rightโ€”we have to push for accountability and consequences for those who broke the law misusing our money. 2x-appointed DeSantis Democrat Jared Moskowitz defended Alligator Alcatraz while accepting donations from several of their contractors.

16 7

We've watched centrists like DWS and Moskowitz hold office so long that they have demoralized the Democratic base. People are tired of Trump-like war hawks. To get our base to show up, we need someone who'll actually fight for progressive values. That's why I'm running.

When Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticizes the countries we bomb for "not investing in their people," he should take a look in the mirror. We need an anti-war party, one that stands firmly against militarism abroad and for real investment in working people here at home.

As Trump's administration manufactures consent for yet another regime-change push in Cuba, I'm reminded of my conversation with Hasan Piker about America's long, bloody history of intervention in Latin America.

13 5

AI won't advance humanity if it's owned by the same billionaires who stole artists' work, fired the engineers who built their wealth, and dodged public accountability. We need public ownership of Big Tech and democratic control over how AI gets built.

South Florida is being sold off like Monopoly. Want proof? There's literally a Fort. Lauderdale edition of Monopoly โ€” so we're giving one away! Watch six incredible Twitch creators and me TONIGHT at 8 PM ET as we play Monopoly to end monopolies and an affordable South Florida.

Thank you to @dsaelectoral.bsky.social for organizing such an important conversation with Aziz Rana and @richiejfloyd.bsky.social on building a democratic society. Have a listen to NPC member Sid on how you can contribute to our work and campaign.

8 4

Are you ready to elect the next @demsocialists.bsky.social to Congress? Last night, Philadelphia nominated DSA-endorsed @chrisrabb.com. However, he wasn't alone. From Georgia to Kentucky, DSA is winning to build a slate that can fight for the working class. We can do it in Florida, too.

12 3

On Florida Emancipation Day, we remember the Union soldiers who marched into Tallahassee in 1865, alongside the abolitionists, organizers, and Black leaders who began Reconstruction to build a multiracial democracy.

10 3

On Haitian Flag Day, I'm reminded of SEIU's powerful protest against Trump's threat to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians living and working in our communities. Let's stay committed to that fight. An injury to one is an injury to all!

Florida is at the epicenter of Republican attacks on voting rights. Here's what I told Broward County Democrats we need to do about it. ๐Ÿ‘‡

11 7

I am proud to announce that our campaign has qualified by petition, with over 2,963 signatures certified and counting. Thank you to Broward DSA, @miamidsa.org, @pbdsa.bsky.social, @dsaoforlando.bsky.social, @pinellasdsa.bsky.social, and volunteers across Florida for making this possible!

DeSantis' partisan redistricting won't deter me from representing my community. That's why I'm running in FL-25. I grew up in this district, I live here now, and most of my current FL-23 neighbors do too. It's also a district we can win.

The majority of America is working class, yet our politics and economy don't serve us. Crushing debt, stagnant wages, attacks on unions. The working class has never been more squeezed, all while the rich get richer. It's time for a politics that works for us, not billionaires.

6 3

To win the midterms and stall Trump's agenda in Congress, the Democratic Party needs to follow the way forward led by progressives like Bernie and AOC. We need a New Deal framework for the 21st century and to invest in America so that everyone can afford to get by.

17 8

Reconstruction was the first real attempt to build a multiracial democracy in America. That we abandoned it over a century ago is exactly why we must take up that work again now. The moment is now. It has never been more urgent.

16 8

Corporate Democrats have failed to stand up for our interests and be a substantive challenge to Trump's electioneering in the midterms. We need to fight fire with fire, not repeat the same milquetoast policies that led Democrats' shrinking sphere of influence in the first place.

12 6

@wassermanschultz.house.gov is planning to help Republicans' efforts to eliminate Black representation across the South. We cannot let that happen. What gives Debbie Wasserman Schultz the right to carpetbag her way into FL-20, after overseeing the collapse of the Florida Democratic Party?

18 8

Earlier this week, I held a town hall on Governor DeSantis' new gerrymandered congressional map, one that dilutes Black representation and violates Florida's Fair Districts amendments. We must draw the line and stand up to Republican efforts to rig our democracy.

15 5

Last week, thousands of Floridians took to the streets for the No Kings, protesting the blatant illegality of Trump's admin. However, there needs to be next steps to transform mobilization into political organizing. We are petitioning for the rest of this week. Can you join us?

15 6

Most congressional campaigns are beholden to corporate money to finance and organize their race. My campaign is different. We are a @demsocialists.bsky.social project accountable to our chapter membership and to the community of South Florida. Worker democracy over billionaire oligarchy!

18 9

Republicans don't need to mobilize the masses because they rely on special interest money to buy elections. This is the playbook corporate Dems fail to beat. Our campaign is different. To win, we will organize the masses at the grassroots to pressure for real change together.

18 8

The only way forward for the Democrats in Florida is to embrace the universal economic platform that is winning across the nation. Medicare for All College for All Childcare for All If we have money for bombs and war, let's instead spend it on schools, hospitals, and homes.

Public school teachers have led successful wildcat strikes time and time again for their students and for public education. As we celebrate May Day, I'm inspired by their solidarity.

10 5

This May Day, let us be clear: WORKERS DESERVE MORE Working people deserve a $25 minimum wage, healthcare, and the right to bargain for a fair contract. As the world celebrates International Workers' Day, let's build the power to win it. Solidarity forever.

17 5

As Trump's Supreme Court disenfranchises millions through the gutting of the VRA, we must learn from the failure to finish Reconstruction. We MUST go beyond returning to the status quo. I spoke with Hasan Piker about fighting to pass a truly democratic Constitution.

28 9

Florida Republicans just rubber stamped Ron DeSantisโ€™ illegal power grab to rig our congressional maps. Donate using the link below to help fight back!

11 6

As Dems strategize how to respond to DeSantis' blatant power grab via a mid-cycle gerrymander, I recall my conversation with @erichovagim.bsky.social on why I decided to run with @demsocialists.bsky.social Milquetoast neoliberals will not overcome electioneering. Only progressive leadership can.

15 8

Jared Moskowitz is missing when his voters need him most. He's never held an in-person townhall, his constituent services are a mess, & he's busy profiting from the same Trump policies making life unaffordable. I spoke with Caroline Kwan about why it's time for change in FL-23.

20 7

We had volunteers from Broward County DSA, @pbdsa.bsky.social, and @miamidsa.org share their first-time canvassing experience for our campaign. The consensus? Turns out knocking doors isn't so scary! If you're in South Florida, come and knock doors with us by signing up below.

At the beginning of April, I was proud to become the 1st endorsed @demsocialists.bsky.social candidate for federal office in 2026. We are fighting for: - Medicare for All - A $25 Living Wage - Abolishing ICE Together with NPC member Cliff Connolly, we talk about why this race is CRITICAL to win.

26 11

Jared Moskowitz traded Caterpillar stock during Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs, profiting from a company that sells armored bulldozers to the IDF โ€” bulldozers that have leveled refugee camps. FL-23 shouldn't be represented by a war profiteer. I'm running to replace him.

Shoutout to Hasan Piker for helping us raise over $65,000 with his community for our campaign to deliver a real left voice back to South Florida. I may not have a soundboard (yet), but together we will win this primary and deliver for the working class.

42 10

Do you have $10,000 to spare? I don't either. That's why we're collecting 2,564 petitions by May 11th to get on the primary ballot โ€” and we need YOU to help us get to the finish line. Here's how you can help.

13 8

@joyannreid.bsky.social and I have the same question: When will Jared Moskowitz finally talk to his constituents? Moskowitz already ducked a town hall with Indivisible. FL-23 deserves a rep willing to meet people on the issues they care about. I'm Oliver Larkin, and I won't hide from voters.

Ahead of Earth Day, I spoke with Popeye, member of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians, about Big Sugar, the Everglades, and what Florida's Indigenous peoples can teach us about protecting the environment we all rely on.

25 9

South Florida's community and economy depend on a thriving environment. If we are to protect the Everglades, our coral reefs, and mangroves, we MUST pass the Green New Deal the moment we take back the House. Protecting our environment is non-negotiable.

20 13

Weโ€™re already living the climate crisis in South Florida. Congress decides what happens next. We need a Green New Deal. We need you on this campaign.

12 5

Florida teachers make the lowest average salary in the entire United States. I joined @mapletakes.bsky.social to break down how Florida got here and why we need to protect public school teachers' right to strike so that they can fight for the wages they deserve.
