The ongoing genocide perpetrated by the Chinese government against the Uyghur people and other Muslim minorities is a challenge to the conscience of the entire world, which requires forceful and urgent action by the international community.

@HouseDemocrats

Last week, @HouseDemocrats took a strong step to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for its exploitation of forced labor and put an end to this horrific practice with passage of Chairman Jim McGovern’s Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.

We are pleased now to be passing a House-Senate compromise bill that meets the urgency and gravity of this challenge. The House will pass this legislation today and send it to the Senate for swift action and then to President’s desk for his signature.

Six years ago, the world came together in Paris to forge a commitment to combating the climate crisis. And just last month, the world convened in Glasgow for COP26 to measure our progress toward the targets we set in Paris – and to strengthen our commitments for the years ahead.

In the Congress, Democrats are paving the way toward a Greener and Cleaner future with our House-passed #BuildBackBetter Act, which represents the most transformative investment in climate action in human history.

As the climate crisis accelerates, we are seeing the damage of extreme weather around the world & here at home, posing an existential threat to our children, our security, our health and our planet. Nations like ours have a moral duty to take decisive action to cut pollution now.

Yesterday, House Democrats honored our responsibility set out in the Constitution by our Founders: to ‘provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.’

@RepAdamSmith

The House, under the leadership of @RepAdamSmith, has passed a strong, bipartisan defense bill that will keep America safe, defend our servicemembers and their families and advance our nation’s leadership in the world.

For our military heroes, our legislation also provides our men and women in uniform with a well-deserved pay increase and supports their financial security and health with greater access to child care, education and housing.

I applaud President Biden’s strong leadership in announcing that there will be no official U.S. diplomatic presence at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

As I noted when I called for a diplomatic boycott last May, the last three decades of Beijing’s abusive and repressive actions show that the international community can no longer give Beijing a blank check and hope that its behavior will simply change.

While we must support and celebrate our athletes, America – and the world – cannot give our official imprimatur to these games or proceed as if there is nothing wrong with holding the Olympics in a country perpetrating genocide and mass human rights violations.

Today, our nation mourns the loss of a towering leader who embodied courage and excellence in public service. Senator Bob Dole was an extraordinary patriot, who devoted his entire life in service to the county he loved and to our cherished national values for which he fought.

With great valor & heroism, Senator Dole put his life on the line on the battlefield to defend our democracy. From the Well of the House to the Floor of the Senate, from presidential candidate to elder statesman, he served our county with great integrity & was a man of his word.

Senator Dole championed our men and women in uniform and the hidden heroes who care for them each day. He also never failed to raise his powerful voice on behalf of Americans living with disabilities and was an inspiration himself to millions.

As the Supreme Court hears arguments in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, it has the opportunity and responsibility to honor the Constitution, the law and this basic truth: every woman has the constitutional right to basic reproductive health care.

@RepJudyChu

The House is committed to defending women’s health freedoms and to enshrining into law our House-passed Women’s Health Protection Act, led by @RepJudyChu, to protect reproductive health care for all women across America.

Mississippi’s radical abortion ban, part of a nationwide assault against women’s freedoms targeting in particular women of color and women from low-income communities, is brazenly unconstitutional and designed to destroy Roe v. Wade.
