Great to join Comptroller Lierman & the Charles County Military Alliance Council to discuss strategy to further connect residents & local businesses with opportunities to support defense activities. I'll keep supporting their efforts to foster this critical collaboration in Indian Head, MD & beyond.

The American Procurement Improvement Act (APIA) now has 60 endorsements from across the disability community! Their support is critical to modernizing Ability One. We'll keep working together to move the APIA through Congress before the end of the year.

Democrats have proven that we can deliver on affordability & are willing to work across the aisle to achieve it. Read more from my op-ed with @thehill.com here: thehill.com/opinion/cong...

The APIA has received endorsements from a coalition of over 50 organizations, unions, & advocacy groups. I look forward to partnering with stakeholders across the disability community to modernize AbilityOne and move this bill through Congress before the end of the year. Let's do this!

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.

If we fail to pass this bill, there will be cheers in the Kremlin and tears in Kyiv. This is the moment to stand up to Russia, and we have a window of opportunity to act. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

After a years-long & competitive process, Greenbelt, MD, was selected as the site for the new FBI headquarters. Today, I'm glad the Court ruled to reaffirm that the Trump Admin's actions to ignore this selection are unlawful & void.

One of the proudest moments of my time in public service was sponsoring the ADA & seeing it through to enactment. As we celebrate the ADA's 36th anniversary, let us remember its intent to ensure nondiscrimination, public accommodation, equal access, & inclusion for all Americans with disabilities.

Six years ago today, we lost my brother in service and faith, Congressman John Lewis. We carry his legacy forward by continuing the fight for justice, equality, and the right to vote. Let's keep getting into "Good Trouble" and pursuing the more perfect union that John worked so hard to achieve.

Happy Independence Day! Our democracy continues to be history’s greatest experiment in striving for a more perfect society.

Less employment opportunities means less workers, and a strong economy needs both. Last month's job report makes it clear: Trump's economic policies have the country going in the wrong direction. www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

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.

June is #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth, & we have more work to end this devastating epidemic that plagues our communities. As Majority Leader, I brought the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022 to the Floor to help protect Americans from gun violence. Let's keep working to build a better, safer America for all.

Republicans are ripping health care from millions and driving up the cost of living to support Trump’s tariffs, war, gilded ballroom, and now a $1.8 billion slush fund for his friends. As Americans struggle in Trump's failing economy, Democrats are fighting to lower costs for everyone.

Trump said he wanted to 'drain the swamp.' Instead, he has filled the sewer with corruption, cronyism, conflict, and chaos while taking a chainsaw to the Constitution. I will continue to fight to hold the President accountable and call out his Republican majority for being complicit in his schemes.

Barney Frank and I both came to the Congress in 1981 & have been close friends for over four decades. Across a range of issues, & on behalf of those in Massachusetts & the entire country, Barney was a tireless champion. He'll long be remembered for his courage. May his memory be a blessing to all.
