But here's what's critical to understand: this dictatorship didn't just destroy Cuba. It became the operational center for authoritarian expansion across Latin America and beyond. The moment is now. And we will not let it pass. Thank @FIUdc

U.S. law, LIBERTAD Act, deems that regime change has to occur in Cuba for "normalization to take place." As my dear brother, Lincoln, would always say: The U.S. embargo goes away in a day as soon as the three conditions established by law are met: 1. Liberation of all political prisoners 2. Legalization of all political parties, labor unions, and the press 3. Scheduling of free, multiparty elections for the Cuban people Which of those conditions do the Cuban people not deserve? Cuba's freedom is nearing.

This week in Washington, D.C., the Adam Smith Center for Economic Freedom participated in the FIU Board of Trustees retreat, where our Founding Director, Carlos Díaz-Rosillo, outlined the Center’s exciting initiatives and direction.    Our students, Iván Velez and Agatha Sosa, also highlighted the Center’s growing impact within the FIU community and beyond. We were honored to welcome former Senior Leadership Fellows and current Board Members Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Paula Dobriansky, as well as Professor of Practice Iván Duque, who emphasized the importance of principled leadership, public service, and the role of institutions like the Center in shaping the next generation of leaders.   #AdamSmithCenter

In 2024, @GovRonDeSantis signed legislation to keep lab-grown meat out of Florida. Today, 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a Berkeley, CA-based corporation’s challenge to our law. Thank you, Chief Deputy SG Jason Muehlhoff, for arguing this case on behalf of Florida!

The Ileana Ros-Lehtinen Fellows and @fiu_sipa interns kicked off St. Patrick’s at Old Ebbitt Grill with former Congresswoman and Chairwoman of @TheCHLI Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. A morning full of meaningful conversations and next-level perspective. @RosLehtinen #fiuindc #impactmatters #leadershiplegacy #fiualumni

Thank you @GovRonDeSantis for honoring President Reagan with the unveiling of this new statue in Miami yesterday, on his birthday. Now standing on @FIU’s campus, it's a fitting tribute to the man who warned: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”

Look who is here supporting The U

It's time to write our own history. #GoCanes | #NationalChampionship
