This week, to mark the 75th anniversary of the #BattleoftheBulge our bipartisan Congressional delegation traveled to Belgium and Luxembourg to honor our WWII American heroes. Back in D.C., the House passed articles of impeachment against the President of the United States. The Speaker also signed multiple bills #ForThePeople including, the FUTURE Act to permanently fund HBCUs and Minority-Serving Institutions, the bipartisan appropriations bills to fund our government for the year 2020 and the National Defense Authorization Act. On Friday, in the spirit of respecting our Constitution and in conclusion of the year, Speaker Pelosi invited President Trump to deliver the State of the Union address on Tuesday, February 4, 2020.
