The law is clear: you cannot use taxpayer dollars for political advertisements. Trump's ad is an egregious and utterly illegal misuse of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars. This ad must immediately be taken off the air, and those responsible must be appropriately reprimanded for this violation.

Rep. Steny Hoyer @hoyer.house.gov · 20/09/2026

I am glad that this bipartisan legislation has now been signed into law. The Administration must immediately impose these sanctions, which will surely deal a significant blow to Russian aggression and help Ukraine achieve victory.

The recent Cyclospora outbreak demonstrated why it's vital to have research institutions dedicated to protecting Americans' health and safety, such as BARC's food safety lab in Maryland. My colleagues and I call on USDA to reverse its decision to shutter BARC so this critical research can continue.

AbilityOne has provided job opportunities for thousands of Americans with disabilities, but its' legal framework hasn’t been updated in 50+ years. That's why I'm proud to join Rep. Sessions to introduce the APIA, a bipartisan consensus bill to modernize AbilityOne and preserve its critical mission.

The world is watching and hoping the House will pass this bill today. Our allies are sending messages of their support - the UK, France, Germany, EU, & others have spoken. Russia is watching too. So are the people of Ukraine. Let’s not give Putin a win. Let’s give democracy a win.

Trump's plans to issue a civilian federal employee pay freeze in 2027 will only further reduce morale and retention & make it harder to recruit the best & brightest to serve.

Republicans refused to extend ACA tax credits, and now millions of Americans are being priced out of their health care premiums. Losing access to affordable health care means working families will have to make incredibly tough choices to make ends meet. The American people deserve better than this.
