- In the South Florida Sun Sentinel, I write: “We cannot allow the vacuum of power in Caracas to become a vacuum of order. Any decapitation of the regime (must) lead to the protection of the people, not prolonged chaos.” Read my column on what should be next for Venezuela:

- BREAKING: My opponent, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick has just been indicted by the US Department of Justice for a laundry list of fraud charges. I repeat, I am Elijah Manley, a 27 year-old educator and the best Democratic candidate to hold this seat in Florida’s 20th congressional district.
- A year from now tonight, I will (god willing) be the congressman-elect for Florida’s 20th congressional district, and with a new Democratic House majority end the Donald Trump presidency.
- I oppose the Southland rock mine project, a proposed 8,600 acres limestone mine that Big Sugar wants to put in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA). I urge the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and SFWMD to reject this poisonous proposal.
- My thoughts are with the people of Jamaica as they experience the landfall of category 5 Hurricane Melissa. We stand with you, and our leaders must be ready to provide all necessary relief. 🇺🇸🇯🇲

- Shana Tova to all in Florida’s 20th Congressional District and beyond. My blessings are with you as we start a new year. May this year be filled with greatness and happiness.
- Thank you to Tim Miller and Cam Kasky for having me on The Bullwark & FYPod. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion. Y'all are cool peeps! Give it a listen!

- Watch my interview with NBC 6 Impact, or catch it live tonight at 9pm. Happy Sunday!
- Shiesty Sheila’s goal: force me to pay thousands💰to get her frivolous lawsuit thrown out. That’s what a loser does. She will lose this lawsuit and we will crush her in the most painful way imaginable in the August Democratic Primary. Donate to our legal fund:
- Stories like mine are not the typical stories you hear in the halls of Congress. A little over a decade ago, my family and I were in chronic homelessness. Now I'm running for Congress to push back against the bullshit and rigged economy that crushes the souls of working people.
- We are a people-powered campaign with grassroots momentum. It's how we've raised half a million from 18,000 people from all walks of life. We will win this primary, and it will be because of you. If you live in South Florida, can you add your name to my list of community endorsers? 👇🏾❤️
- DeSantis can keep whining like the little beta male that he is, but the VRA isn’t going anywhere. Suck it up, puddin’ cup.
- In 2022, Jim Crow Ron got rid of Al Lawson’s black seat in North Florida. Now he’s thinking of doing the same thing with my district (FL-20). Over my dead body.
- The math ain’t mathin for the republicans in the midterms, so what do they do? They have to steal seats.
- They’re rigging the game mid-decade because they can’t win on their own merits, and black voters will likely be targeted the most. That’s how we do thangz down here in the South. That’s how republicans work.
- My remarks at the Broward School Board today were in support of school lunch debt relief and universal school meals. The Trump administration cut crucial programs and took food out of the mouths of children. We will find a way to ensure that no child in Broward goes hungry.

- Republicans have passed the big nasty bill, slashing your Medicaid and taking healthcare away from 17M Americans, including seniors, disabled people, pregnant women, and children. Vote them out.
- Republicans voted to gut your Medicaid, and healthcare for your kids because they don’t give af about you. They only care about billionaires and their corporate donors. Tell everyone you know.
- Frightening. I am glad that they caught this individual before he posed a threat to all of us celebrating pride this weekend. Be safe y’all!

- Once again, this is a line that should not be crossed. Using the U.S. military against Americans on American soil is not only illegal, it will erode trust in the United States government and our armed forces. This is a crime and any official who orders this is committing treason.
- Threatening to use active duty military to attack your own citizens is something you might expect from a dictatorial regime or a tyrant like Assad. It has no place in the United States. Trump should be removed from office and Pete Hegseth should be tried for treason.
- Authoritarian fascist violence from the Trump administration threatens free speech and dissent. Any use of active duty military to attack American citizens is unconstitutional and a red line. All unconstitutional orders must be defied by law.
- Elon and Trump breaking up? During pride month? Some advice: block his number and don’t text back.
- 🚨 You can’t fight corruption with corruption. In District 20, it starts with holding our own acceptable. It’s time to clean house.
- “The incumbent’s dramatic legal exposure is a risk we cannot afford in the 2026 midterm elections.”

- I’m a 26 year-old black gay man running for Congress in the south — living in fascist Ron DeSantis’ Florida. I will not be silent. I will not be afraid. I will fight back. We will build a multi-racial, multi-generational, working class movement to take back FL and our country.
- Happy Pride Month 🏳️🌈 We will continue to fight, defy, and champion progress for all of our people. A new dark chapter is here, but like we have before, we will continue to organize for our lives and our right to be free.

- When is enough enough? When do we as Democrats clean our own house? A corrupt healthcare CEO is not what Democrats need in our fight to protect our democracy and take on MAGA corruption.

- I’ve waited tables, bartended, washed dishes, cleaned bathrooms, flipped burgers on a cook line during the late night shift so that my family could survive in this economy. Now I’m running for Congress to create an economy that works just as hard for you.
- Missed the in-person launch? That’s ok! I am hosting a Zoom Meet & Greet TOMORROW night (5/28) and I want to see you! Together, we’ll discuss our campaign’s top issues and I’ll take your questions. RSVP ⬇️
- I agree with this! Putin wants all of Ukraine, not a peace deal. We need to stop being weak and put the bully pulpit down. Seize all the assets.
- On this Memorial Day, let’s remember those who have served and honor their sacrifice in all we do. They gave all they had for all of us.
- My campaign is hosting a Zoom Meet & Greet on Wednesday night (5/28) and I hope to see you. Together, we’ll discuss our campaign’s top issues and I’ll take your questions. Can’t wait to hear from you. RSVP ⬇️
