I trust Florida parents to decide whether or not their children will be wearing a mask when they return to school next month. I'm grateful to Governor DeSantis for his steady leadership at every stage of this Pandemic, which is so important to Florida’s families.
Great news for @WaltDisneyWorld and the State of Florida!

Sheriff Staly of Flagler County reflects on what we saw during our border trip in July.
"As it stands today, we have no functional or secure border, and it is putting every American in the United States at risk. A country without a border is no country.

The vaccine works and is our best defense against COVID-19. I urge everyone to talk to their doctor and get vaccinated.
Iranian President-elect Ebrahim Raisi is a ruthless human rights abuser. @POTUS must make clear that Raisi & other senior Iranian officials are not welcome here & deny their entry visas for the @UN General Assembly in September.
Communist China lied about COVID-19 & refuses to be a partner in solving the crisis. It can't be relied on for critical supplies & medicine. It's time we remove Communist China from our pharmaceutical supply chains.
The Democrats' reckless government spending keeps sending prices higher. Read my weekly update on Biden’s inflation crisis: https://bit.ly/3yeuV0o
This week the Biden Administration made it harder to convince the unvaccinated,worsened already bitter divisions & incited more media hysteria & hyperbole

So far almost no Senator has seen the text of any of these bills
If SecDef was just following local face shield mandate,a real news outlet would cover how our chargé & Filipino leaders ignore it,not push snarky anti-GOP narratives
The problem here- -aside from CNN being wrong- -is that they desperately cater to the far left to remain relevant https://twitter.com/cnn/status/1420899732126318594
I guess the face shield mandate was lifted shortly after he landed
2Nominating Frank Mora,an outspoken supporter of engagement with the regime in #Cuba, to be the US Amb to the OAS is yet another slap in the face to Cubans demanding freedom.
