Letter to Speaker Mike Johnson on the Bipartisan Countering Antisemitism Act.
Thank you President Zelenskyy for your leadership and continued partnership in defense of democracy and freedom across the world. We will continue to stand with the Ukrainian people in your valiant and courageous fight against Russian aggression.
Thank you President Zelenskyy for your leadership and continued partnership in defense of democracy and freedom across the world. We will continue to stand with the Ukrainian people in your valiant and courageous fight against Russian aggression.
House Democrats are working hard to lower costs and grow the middle class. Meanwhile. MAGA extremists are celebrating animal cruelty.
Extreme MAGA Republicans are determined to criminalize abortion care nationwide. We will never rest until reproductive freedom is protected for every woman in America.
The Biden Administration released a national strategy to combat antisemitism in May 2023. More than 50 concrete actions were recommended. The stunning rise in antisemitic incidents is deeply disturbing. It’s time for the House to act with the fierce urgency of now.
House Democrats are laser-focused on lowering costs, growing the middle class and strengthening organized labor. For. The. People.
Deeply saddened by the passing of Congressman Donald Payne Jr., a good friend, highly effective public servant and compassionate leader. My prayers and support are with the Payne family and his loved ones during this difficult time. May he forever Rest in Peace. 👑👑👑🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
President Biden has signed critically important national security legislation into law. America wins. Pro-Putin MAGA extremists have lost.
The bipartisan national security bill passed by the House contains over $9 billion in humanitarian assistance. There are people of color being ignored in places like Haiti and the Sudan. The long delayed package will provide them with the food, water and medicine they need.
Chag Pesach Sameach to all who are celebrating in Brooklyn and around the world! May you have a meaningful Passover holiday. ✡️✡️✡️
Because of the leadership of President Biden we have enacted the largest effort to combat the climate crisis in the history of the world. It’s working. There is no Planet B. #EarthDay
House Democrats will continue to deliver real results for the American people in the midst of the GOP civil war.
National Security legislation that supports democracy and freedom has passed the House overwhelmingly. We will stand with Ukraine until victory is won.
Pro-Putin extremists who have obstructed Congress for months on are on the verge of defeat. A bipartisan coalition in the House will pass comprehensive legislation that stands with our Democratic allies in Israel, Ukraine, the Indo-Pacific and throughout the world.
We must confront aggression against democracy and freedom. Not appease it. House Democrats will make sure that bipartisan legislation for America’s national security can proceed.
We will defend democracy against all enemies foreign and domestic.
House Democrats will continue to deliver real results for the American people and the free world.
House Democrats are working hard to end price gouging. The other side might end democracy.
This is America. No one is above the law.

We must do everything possible to restore safety and security for the people of Haiti.
Watching President Joe Biden lol at House Republicans’ mess has made my entire day He literally stopped laughed for a good while, whispered a hilarious comment and walked out still laughing
Your two leading candidates for Speaker
When I think about the future of the Democratic Party, I think of public servants like @RepJeffries. Now House Democratic Leader, Hakeem got his start as a litigator and assemblyman before representing the great state of New York in Congress.
First: I’m pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession. There are thousands of people who were previously convicted of simple possession who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result. My pardon will remove this burden.
.@RepJeffries: "We've seen 8.3 million jobs created since President Biden first took office... Is it your understanding that that is a record in American history?" WATCH @RepJeffries question @USCBO Director Swagel about how our economy improved since the #AmericanRescuePlan ⤵️
House Dems are back in the majority. Just nominated @SpeakerPelosi to continue to lead us forward. Today is a good day.
Yesterday we voted for justice. For fairness. For equality. For democracy. For good trouble. For all those who sacrificed for the right of all Americans to vote. We voted for the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. #RestoreTheVote
“All we simply want is for every single community, regardless of race, to be able to breathe the free air of liberty and justice for all. That’s what the Justice in Policing Act is all about.” -@RepJeffries #JusticeInPolicing #HR7120
There are many films & documentaries about the Civil Rights Mvt that can actually help us make sense of the present moment. I wrote #TwoThumbsUp as a guide for what to watch & what to avoid. Here it is, with links. Thanks @UWiscPress & @ZinnEdProject! zinnedproject.org/materials/two-…
I’ve joined many of my @HouseDemocrats colleagues, led by @RepJeffries, @RepPressley, @RepBarbaraLee, @RepRichmond, @RepKarenBass, and @RepJerryNadler to demand action. America’s prison system needed urgent reform before this crisis. Now it’s even more critical.
Prisons have become hotbeds of COVID-19, infecting prisoners and guards alike, and then spreading out to surrounding communities. It’s vital that Congress take action to reduce overcrowding, improve conditions, facilitate safe community reentry, and protect civil liberties.
Black Caucus members "have been elected, in large part, to defend the least, the lost and the left behind throughout America," said Dem Caucus Chair @RepJeffries (D-NY.) “That is why it’s been so important to see tremendous leadership from the CBC in the midst of this pandemic"
NEW: Congressional Black Caucus members are taking leading roles in the response to the coronavirus as data shows African Americans are dying in disproportionate numbers across the country @TheBlackCaucus thehill.com/homenews/house…
These little things make a big difference. Thank you for your service to Congress, Earnestine! 🇺🇸🙏 HT @RepJeffries #democracy nyti.ms/2XjJ78P

Very proud of our house impeachment managers @RepZoeLofgren @RepAdamSchiff @RepJeffries @RepJerryNadler @RepValDemings @RepJasonCrow @RepSylviaGarcia who are working so hard to #DefendOurDemocracy right now!
“Now apparently it’s ok for a president to get information from a foreign government in an election. That’s news to me... We are creating additional dangers to the nation by suggesting that things that have long been prohibited are now suddenly going to be ok.” - @RepZoeLofgren
"The Senate in its history has had 15 different impeachment trials. In every single trial, there were witnesses... And in fact, in many of those trials, there were witnesses who testified in the Senate who HAD NOT testified in the House." —@RepJeffries #WeWantWitnesses
‘We are here, sir, because President Trump corruptly abused his power and then he tried to cover it up.’ — @RepJeffries had a sharp response to this ridiculous question from Trump’s attorney
