There’s a lot we don’t know about the omicron variant. But here’s what we do know about the pandemic: Getting vaccinated and boosted is the best way to stay healthy. It’s free. It’s safe. And it’s the best way to protect you and your family.

.@RonWyden and I call for sanctions against mercenary tech companies enabling human rights abuses. By selling surveillance services to authoritarian regimes, they threaten journalists and dissidents. We must stand up to human rights abusers and those who enable them.

Millions of young people will soon have to begin making student loan payments again. Payments they cannot afford. We need to continue the freeze on repayments until the pandemic is over. Better yet, we should cancel $50,000 in debt for every student.

Last week, Mark Meadows informed @January6thCmte he would not cooperate further – abandoning his duty to country. Tonight, the House voted him in contempt and referred him for criminal prosecution. We acted with urgency. The Justice Department must do the same.

Like so many forms of bigotry, Islamophobia is, tragically, on the rise. Our Muslim friends and neighbors deserve to feel safe at home and abroad, at school, at work, at worship – everywhere. Which is why I support a special envoy to root out anti-Muslim hate.

Today, the House holds a moment of silence for the 800,000 lost to COVID-19. If we held one minute for each individual, we'd be silent for a year and a half. Honor their memory by protecting yourself and your loved ones. Please, go get vaccinated (and boosted).

Republican Members of Congress were texting Mark Meadows before, during, and after the insurrection. None of this is privileged. All of it is damning. All of it must be exposed. And if he refuses to discuss it, he should answer for it.

Mark Meadows' decision to stonewall the @January6thCmte has forced us to proceed with a contempt referral. A refusal to appear when subpoenaed by Congress will result in potential prosecution and jail time. No one is above the law.

My heart breaks for the communities devastated by these catastrophic tornadoes. I join millions of individuals across the nation in praying for your swift recovery and for the continued safety of your loved ones. We are with you.

Workers who go on strike to fight for the wages and hours they deserve should never be permanently replaced. Period. It’s unacceptable for Kellogg’s — or any company — to retaliate and threaten their livelihoods.

A political high court is putting the right to choose in danger. Playing games with Roe as Republicans desperately seek new ways to control women’s health. We can’t let them. Losing the right to choose will place thousands of women at risk.

By passing the #ProtectingOurDemocracy Act, the House has delivered an unequivocal message:   Our democracy is worth fighting for.   Now, the Senate must show the same conviction to root out corruption and end presidential abuses of power.   The price of inaction is calamity.

Protecting our democracy must be a whole of government effort. Because the task before us is much bigger than any one branch, person, or party. It’s going to take all of us to get the job done. I’m grateful to the @WhiteHouse for supporting the #ProtectingOurDemocracy Act.

Today, the House will take up the #ProtectingOurDemocracy Act.   It will root out corruption, curtail presidential abuses of power, and strengthen our system of checks and balances.   Our democracy is in a moment of great peril.   Time to do something about it.

Before I log off, I want to cover how the #ProtectingOurDemocracy Act will strengthen the emoluments clauses of the Constitution. @RepRaskin, can I tap you in for this one?

Hi folks. I've got some time, so I'll be taking a few minutes to respond to your questions on the Protecting Our Democracy Act. Drop a question below or use #ProtectingOurDemocracy and I'll do my best to answer as many as possible. https://twitter.com/RepAdamSchiff/status/1468566242160168960 …

The House votes on the #ProtectingOurDemocracy Act tomorrow. A bill I wrote with @RepCohen, @GerryConnolly, @RepDean, @RepJeffries, @RepTedLieu, @RepKatiePorter, @RepRaskin, @RepMGS, @RepSpeier, @RepSwalwell, & @RepAnnaEshoo. We're ready to get this done. Democracy demands it.

The House is set to vote on the #ProtectingOurDemocracy Act - legislation to root out corruption and protect against abuses of power.   These reforms will help secure our democracy. And today, I’ll answer your questions on PODA. #AMA, and I’ll bring in some House colleagues too!

Tonight's vote paves the way for increasing the debt limit, so we can pay the bills we’ve already incurred.   Playing games with the faith and credit of the U.S. could cost millions of individuals their jobs.   That's what's at stake here. The GOP would do well to remember that.
