Daily, we are seeing the tragedy of unvaccinated Americans struggling to breathe in hospital beds, sending heartbreaking messages to their loved ones to get vaccinated before it’s too late. Vaccines are the best way to protect ourselves, those in our care, schools & workplaces.

The FDA’s full approval of a coronavirus vaccine shows Americans can have full confidence in the safety and effectiveness of a vaccine that has been painstakingly studied and reviewed. With the leadership of @POTUS, free, safe and effective vaccines are available across America.

Congratulations @LizShuler on your historic election to lead @AFLCIO!   House Democrats look forward to continuing our partnership with you to #BuildBackBetter, lift up diversity in the workplace and create millions of good-paying, sustainable jobs for all!

House Committee Chairs were joined by members of the House Democratic Leadership in commending President Biden for the boldness of his vision and his determination to pass legislation. Today’s meeting was marked by a determination to produce results – and soon.

Today, @POTUS met with the Chairs of the House Committees that will write the reconciliation bill. All agreed that we have an historic opportunity for transformational change #ForThePeople. The President expressed his appreciation for the Committees’ work to Build Back Better.

Once again, Capitol Police, FBI and other law enforcement dealt with a potential threat to the Capitol Hill community.    The immense gratitude of the Congress is with all law enforcement officers who today & all days sacrifice to keep the Capitol Complex & those within it safe.

With the attack on the franchise escalating and states beginning the process of redistricting, we must act. When the House returns on August 23rd, Democrats plan to pass H.R. 4 – and we hope it can secure the bipartisan support this vital legislation deserves.

The House today is taking a momentous step to secure the sacred right to vote for generations to come. With the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, @HouseDemocrats are fighting back against an anti-democratic tide & protecting access to the ballot box for every American.

Thanks to @POTUS, struggling families across the nation will soon see a permanent increase to their monthly SNAP benefits for the first time ever.   This action, which was directed by Congress in 2018, will help parents afford enough healthy food to feed their families.

Paul and I are heartbroken at the loss of our friend. I was honored to officiate at the wedding of Jim and his dear husband Michael. May it be a comfort to his family that so many mourn their loss and pray for them at this sad time.

Jim made history as the first openly gay U.S. Ambassador, paving the way for a new generation of leaders and elevating the voices of LGBTQ voices in our foreign policy. He had the courage to be a pioneer & the patriotism to accept the challenge.

It is with the deepest sadness and the greatest appreciation for his unsurpassed contributions to our country and society that we mourn the passing of Ambassador Hormel. We will dearly miss him in San Francisco, in our nation and around the world.
