As a voter in Oakland Park in the 23rd congressional district, I am deeply concerned that Rep. Jared Moskowitz has not stated whether he supports impeaching Donald Trump. I’ve contacted his office multiple times without receiving a response. This silence, in the face of such a clear threat to our democracy, is unacceptable.
Trump’s threats to cling to power and his open contempt for the rule of law are not partisan opinions — they are facts. He told NBC News that he does not know whether a U.S. president is required to follow the Constitution.
If Congress fails to impeach, convict and remove a president who so plainly disregards constitutional limits, our democracy may not survive the damage.
I urge my fellow citizens to contact Rep. Moskowitz’s office and demand that he publicly support and cosponsor articles of impeachment.
Defending the Constitution from tyranny is not optional; it is the job he was elected to do.
The voters are watching.

For energy security
As a Floridian, I have watched energy bills rise while extreme heat and storms put more strain on our power grid.
What’s frustrating is that solutions already exist but are stuck in red tape.
Across the U.S., more than 95% of projects waiting for approval are clean energy developments that could lower costs, strengthen grid reliability and create jobs. But outdated permit rules mean critical infrastructure like transmission lines take years to build. The delays keep families dependent on older, more expensive and more polluting energy sources.
Permitting reform isn’t about politics; it’s about common sense. Modernizing it would help communities access affordable power faster, improve resilience during extreme weather and keep the U.S. competitive with countries rapidly investing in clean energy.
I urge Sen. Rick Scott and Rep. Jared Moskowitz to prioritize bipartisan permitting reform that unlocks clean energy projects and delivers real savings and security for Florida families.

Hold Trump to account
I’ve delayed writing this letter, but I feel that it is overdue.
Trump will declare that he’s the dictator and will not relinquish the presidency in 2028. We can slow him down by voting one or both houses of Congress to the opposition (Democratic) party in November of this year, unless he somehow tries to void that election.

McCarthyism at its best
I never thought I would see the Sun Sentinel stoop to McCarthyism. Shame on you.
“Why is Trump compiling lists of Jews?” screamed an Opinion page headline.
The first two paragraphs recalled the Holocaust, and noted that compiling a list of Jews as precedent thereto. It then posits “a government encouraging antisemitism under the guise of opposing it.”
Simple question: Is the Sun Sentinel’s editorial position that the Trump administration is antisemitic, with evil designs on Jews and Israel?
Are you willing to come out from under the rock you have most disappointingly crawled under and say you truly believe that, or is this simply an effort to smear the administration by innuendo? Surely you have other ample areas of complaint based on reality, as opposed to this claptrap.
Such a position plainly cannot be sustained by the facts, wherein the Trump administration has been pilloried long and hard domestically and internationally for its steadfast support of Israel. But facts don’t stand in the way of the Sun Sentinel’s insinuation and whispering. McCarthyism at its best. Shameful. And sad.
