Sen. Scott: How to rescue America from the spread of socialism | Opinion
Zohran Mamdani is right that our political system has failed the American people. The rise of his brand of socialism in America is terrifying, but it shouldn't shock anyone who has watched Washington catastrophically fail to lead with policies that work for the American people. Every two years, establishment politicians beg for votes with the same empty promises: to hold government accountable, lower prices and fight for the American Dream.
中国共産党政権はあなたの病床を狙っている
論評 米国では毎日、人々が、自分の心臓を見守る機器が自分たちのために正常に作動していると信じて病院に入る。その一部が中国共産党政権のために作動している可能性があることを、ほとんどの人は知らない。 昨年、米食品医薬品局（FDA）と連邦政府のサイバーセキュリティー当局者は、コンテックCMS8000（the Contec CMS8000）と呼ばれる患者モニターについて警告を発した。この医療機器は、米国の病院で心拍数、血圧、心電図を測定するために日常的に使用されている。 調査担当者は、ソフトウェアに組み込まれたバックドアを発見した。単純な不具合ではなく、医療施設から患者データを抜き取り、外部のリモートサーバーへ送るための高度な技術的経路だった。コンテックの患者モニターを製造する企業は、中国に拠点を置いている。 医師や病院による生死を分ける判断を支援するために設計された機器が、都合よく、機密性の高い患者データを北京へ直接送信できるようになっていたのである。...
Communist China Has Its Eyes on Your Hospital Bed
Commentary Every day, Americans walk into hospitals trusting that the machines keeping watch over their hearts are working for them. Most have no idea that some of those machines may be working for communist China. Last year, FDA and federal cybersecurity officials issued a warning about a patient monitor called the Contec CMS8000, a medical device used routinely in American hospitals to track heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiograms.

AI is here. We need to protect and prepare America's kids | Opinion
Aug. 28, 2026, 6:03 a.m. ET Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing society, presenting both opportunities and risks for children. The Safeguard Kids Act would allow existing federal grants to fund AI literacy and counseling programs in K-12 schools. Concerns exist about children using AI chatbots for mental health support, citing risks like false empathy and lack of crisis management.

We must protect the value of American citizenship | Sen. Rick Scott
Right now, America's foreign adversaries see a loophole in our immigration system to exploit birthright citizenship. It's called birth tourism. As it stands, a citizen of a foreign adversary, like China, Russia, or Iran, can pay a surrogate mother to have their child in America, have birthright citizenship, and then take them back to a country and raise an American citizen to hate America.
We must protect the value of American citizenship | Sen. Rick Scott
Senator Rick Scott Your Turn Aug. 9, 2026, 5:07 a.m. ET The author argues that "birth tourism" through surrogacy is a national security loophole exploited by foreign adversaries. The SAFE KIDS Act was introduced to prevent citizens of adversarial nations from using American surrogates to gain U.S. citizenship for their children. The author states that Democrats blocked a recent attempt to pass the SAFE KIDS Act in the Senate.
SEN RICK SCOTT: Americans work five days a week, why can’t the Senate?
Did you know the U.S. Senate has only been in session 79 days (about 40% of the time) so far this year? And so far, we haven’t passed anything to secure our elections, reduce inflation, cut spending or prevent another Democrat shutdown. Well, what isn’t shocking is the fact nothing has gotten done while we only work 2.5 days out of the week. It is crazy. At the slow rate we are getting stuff done, we should be working seven days.
REPS ANDY HARRIS, KEITH SELF, SEN RICK SCOTT: Fix FISA. Don’t spy on us
Video NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! America’s founding generation did not take up arms merely over unreasonable taxation. They understood ceding their rights to the government for promise of security was a bad deal. They believed risking death to live free was better than subsisting under tyranny. They fought back against unchecked tyranny across an ocean. The crown planted spies in their taverns, rifled through their papers without cause and intercepted their private correspondence.
Rick Scott: Victory In Iran, Nothing Less
There is an old quote from Ernest Hemingway: “Once we have a war there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than any that can ever happen in war.” This is true of our conflict in Iran. We must win. Nothing less than victory is an option for America. We need to embrace the Apollo 13 mindset: “Failure is not an option.” Talks continue for when and how this conflict will end. I pray for peace and a denuclearized Iran.
Mamdani made Ken Griffin a target — and cemented NYC’s death spiral
Mayor Zohran Mamdani filmed a video celebrating Gov. Kathy Hochul's "pied-à-terre" tax proposal outside of hedge fund manager Ken Griffin's apartment building. Last week New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stood outside Ken Griffin’s apartment building and grinned, “Today we’re taxing the rich.” He said it like he was declaring victory. It was actually a eulogy for one of the greatest cities in the world.
SEN RICK SCOTT: The lesson of Artemis? Purge woke politics and let NASA do its job
This week, Americans and people around the world have been awed and inspired by an incredible journey that began in my home state of Florida. After a successful launch at Cape Canaveral, NASA has sent human beings around the moon for the first time in 54 years. Artemis II has now completed its lunar flyby, traveling more than 250,000 miles from Earth and venturing farther into space than any crewed mission in modern history.

How to fix Obamacare
It’s time for all of us to admit what the American people already know: Obamacare has failed. The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, created a system that enriched insurance companies and hospitals and screwed over Americans. It didn’t let people keep their insurance plans or their doctors, and families didn’t save money — and neither did the federal government. Families have been left with higher costs and healthcare that doesn’t meet their needs.

¿Qué le ha dado a Trump con América Latina? Una abierta hostilidad que intimida
¿Qué le ha dado a Donald Trump con América Latina? El presidente de Estados Unidos ha virado en la política norteamericana de olvido de décadas sobre la región para poner el foco, de un rojo vivo, en el sur de su frontera. Pero, claro, hablamos de Trump, así que no esperen cooperación, diplomacia, debate, diálogo, acuerdos, mano tendida. No. El republicano se ha pasado de la negligencia por inacción a la hostilidad, con demasiada acción.
SEN RICK SCOTT, REP BYRON DONALDS: Trump and Bessent's IRS reform: Let’s end job-killing policies
We came to Washington with a similar mission: fight for Florida families, for freedom and for the kind of economic opportunity that lets every American chase their dream. President Donald Trump came here for the same reason. But a threat to this mission continues to exist in the IRS, a bloated, unaccountable agency that, under Joe Biden, turned into a weapon against working Americans. That’s changing now. President Trump made a smart move by putting Scott Bessent in charge at the IRS.

State’s new ‘DOGE’ will find slim pickings
Six years into his tenure as one of the nation’s most conservative governors — if not the most tight-fisted penny pincher in the land— Gov. Ron DeSantis is dispatching his own crew of mission evaluators and operational auditors to squeeze every last possible drop of performance efficiency and cost-cutting out of Florida government. Maybe it’s just another step in the governor’s continuing effort to look Trumpier-than-thou among big-name Republicans.

Will 'no tax on tips' make tipping culture even more taxing for Americans?
[Sen. Ted Cruz] Next time you go out at a restaurant, I encourage you just just ask the waiter, ask the waitress, hey, what do you think about no taxes on tips? [Simone Del Rosario] Ted Cruz and a bipartisan group of lawmakers reintroduced a bill to do away with federal taxes on tips. Critics argue a law like this will make tipping culture worse, when Americans already find it to be taxing. It’s already taking a hit on generosity. Americans are tipping at a lower rate today than they have in years.
