Ahead of tomorrow’s #Juneteenth observances, the portraits of four previous Speakers who served in the Confederacy have been removed from the walls of the U.S. Capitol under the supervision of House Clerk Cheryl Johnson. Image
The halls of Congress are the very heart of our democracy. Allowing men who embody the grotesque racism of the Confederacy to be honored within them is unacceptable. Image
The portraits of these men are symbols that set back our nation’s work to confront and combat bigotry. Image
The American people have entrusted the Congress with leading our nation. Let us lead by example by removing these images from display in the People’s House. Image

34 years ago, the world saw one of the greatest acts of personal courage of our time in Tiananmen Square.

Ordinary Chinese citizens – unflinching as they stared down troops and tanks – took to the streets, peacefully demanding their basic rights and defying an oppressive regime.
Though Beijing brutally crushed their protests, it could not break their spirit, which is an inspiration to this day.

Over the last 3 decades, it has been a privilege to lend my voice to speak out for human rights in China & demand accountability for the Chinese Communist Party.
Tragically, the CCP has only accelerated its campaign of atrocities: jailing dissidents who dare to speak out, committing genocide against the Uyghur community, intimidating the people of Tibet, undermining democratic freedoms in Hong Kong, threatening Democracy in Taiwan & more.

Enacting the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law kickstarted a historic effort to rebuild our nation's infrastructure, create millions of good-paying union jobs and reconnect our communities.
 
🧵🧵 18 months later, people across California are starting to see the impact:
Before the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, California faced 1,536 bridges and 14,220 miles of highway in poor condition.
 
This law makes a historic $28.2 billion investment to rebuild roads and bridges across the state, including $400 million for the Golden Gate Bridge.
High-speed internet is necessary for work, school and staying connected to community. 
 
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is helping Californians connect to high-speed affordable internet, and 5,600,000 households are eligible for lower internet rates and faster speeds.

Today’s announcement by the EU & the UK that they have reached an agreement on the Windsor Framework is good news. It appears that the consensus that has been reached will open the door to the restoration of Northern Ireland’s government, respectful of the Good Friday Agreement.
The Windsor Framework must support the Good Friday Agreement, be acceptable to the people of Northern Ireland, and improve the British-Irish partnership.
The United States is very proud of the role our leaders played in establishing the Good Friday Agreement, a pillar of our foreign policy – and we salute those who worked so hard to end the impasse a quarter-century ago.

On this Presidents’ Day, @POTUS’ historic visit to Kyiv at this critical moment is a manifestation of America’s commitment to Democracy, in Ukraine and in the world.

And as the President said today, ‘there is significant agreement’ in Congress on support for Ukraine.
Just days before we observe 1 year since Russia’s unlawful invasion, America sent the largest-ever Congressional delegation to @MunSecConf. Our high-powered delegation — House & Senate, Democrats & Republicans — was united in our expression of continued solidarity with Ukraine.
It was my special honor to join Ukrainian Speaker @R_Stefanchuk in a moderated conversation on the role of parliaments in the fight for freedom.

At the Conference, we sent a message of strong, unified & continued support for the Ukrainian people’s courageous fight for Democracy.

.@SenFeinstein is a titan in the Senate, with a record that stands among the finest in history. For 30 years, California and our Country has been served by her leadership: from our national security and safety, to our people and planet's health, to the strength of our Democracy.
On @JudiciaryDems, Senator Feinstein is responsible for the Assault Weapons Ban, which stemmed the tide of mass shootings for 10 years, and for the Violence Against Women Act. As Chair of the Intelligence Committee, she helped keep us safe and strong while honoring our values.
Throughout her entire career, Senator Feinstein has been a champion for the Golden State. She broke barriers as the first woman to serve as Mayor of San Francisco — and in a moment of horror and heartbreak, she offered our City poised, courageous and hopeful leadership.

This Congress, it was my privilege as Speaker to establish several powerful House Select Committees – which have brought leadership, transparency and actionable insight to guide our work #ForThePeople.
 
Here are a few of the highlights from their outstanding efforts:
.@ClimateCrisis was the foundation of our landmark #InflationReductionAct and played a key role in @HouseDemocrats work to slash carbon pollution by 40% this decade. Half of their recommendations have been enacted into law — and we're fighting for more. climatecrisis.house.gov/report2022
The @January6thCmte has brought clarity of conscience in our work to defend Democracy. With painstaking detail, they uncovered important conclusions about the plot to subvert the Congress, shred the Constitution and halt the peaceful transfer of power. january6th.house.gov/report-executi…
