As the #115thCongress convenes today, Americans are deeply worried about the future and are looking to their Representatives to work together to craft responsible, just, and wise policies that heal the divisions of the recent election and renew faith in government to be a force for good in Americans’ lives. To that end, House Democrats will be working tirelessly over the next two years to create jobs and opportunity so that all Americans can Make It In America while holding the Republican Majority accountable for actions that undermine America’s future and threaten the rights and opportunities of hardworking Americans and their families.
#PearlHarbor75 is a moment to remember that those who served in World War II sacrificed for a vision of America and the world that remains a work in progress. Let us continue to mark this day in the spirit of remembrance and as a reminder of the great work we must continue to make our own. #PearlHarborRemembranceDay
Before Congress adjourns in a few days, here’s a review of the House GOP’s Do-Nothing 114th Congress.
Today, I re-launched the House Democrats’ Official Online Resume Bank and introduced a new jobs announcement board to help improve House Democrats’ hiring process and strengthen diversity. These tools continue to advance our commitment to openness, transparency, and equal opportunity.
Today, we mark five years since the official end of the discriminatory ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy. As we face the national security challenges and threats of the twenty-first century, it is critical that every dedicated, talented individual who wishes to step up and serve the nation they love be allowed the opportunity to do so, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. I will continue working with our military leaders, veterans, and LGBT rights groups to ensure that all who wish to serve in uniform and are able may do so without discrimination.
As we mark the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, we pause to remember those who lost their lives and honor the sacrifices made by first responders to save others. #NeverForget
Thank you @vp for coming to the Capitol to call on Republicans in Congress to do their job and address the Zika virus, hold confirmation hearings for #SCOTUS nominee Judge Merrick Garland, and address gun violence in America. Republican inaction has put American lives at risk and it’s past time they take action on these and other critical issues. #DoYourJob
On #NPS100, a #TBT to my camping trip in @yosemitenps in 1987. #FindYourPark
As we celebrate the centenary of our @nationalparkservice, let us reflect on the natural bounty of this great country and the extraordinary beauty of its diverse landscapes and renew our commitment to preserving them for future generations. I join in expressing my gratitude to the men and women of our National Park Service and all those who have worked over the past century to fulfill its mission of safeguarding our nation’s greatest treasures. #NPS100 #FindYourPark
This evening, I stood with Members of the @lgbteqcaucus and House Democrats at a vigil marking the one-month anniversary of the #Orlando shooting and honoring the 49 victims. Together, we called for #LGBT equality and action to #DisarmHate and address gun violence in America. http://bit.ly/29Ce6kG
