Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida’s 27th district, used her social media platform on February 9, 2026, to highlight recent tax policy initiatives and issue a travel warning regarding Cuba.
In an English-language post made at 20:44 UTC, Salazar wrote: “Tax season is here, and @HouseGOP are proving once again that pro-worker, pro-family policies deliver real results.
Bigger refunds for families
No tax on overtime
No tax on tips
Bigger standard deduction
Expanded Child Tax Credit
That’s more hard-earned money https://t.co/U8IIJueDu0” (February 9, 2026).
Shortly after, at 20:46 UTC, she reiterated her message in Spanish: “Llegó la temporada de impuestos, y los republicanos en la Cámara (@HouseGOP) vuelven a demostrar que las políticas pro-trabajador y pro-familia dan resultados reales.
Reembolsos más grandes para las familias
No impuestos sobre horas extra (overtime)
No impuestos sobre” (February 9, 2026).
Later that evening at 21:51 UTC, Salazar posted a warning about travel to Cuba. She stated: “Do NOT travel to Cuba.
There is no electricity, no food, and no medicine, only blackouts, hunger, and repression.
Many airlines are canceling flights to and from the island. If you go, you may not be able to return for weeks, or longer.
Don’t risk your safety. A regime in its https://t.co/I8UyDD3RmI” (February 9, 2026).
Salazar’s remarks reflect ongoing debates within Congress about tax reform measures aimed at increasing take-home pay for American workers and families by adjusting deductions and credits as well as exempting certain types of income from taxation. Additionally, her warning regarding Cuba comes amid persistent reports of economic hardship and political repression on the island nation. The U.S. government has previously issued travel advisories cautioning citizens about conditions in Cuba due to shortages of basic goods and infrastructure challenges.
