Today, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders across our country and communities around the globe mark the beginning of the Lunar New Year: a beautiful time of celebration, reflection and renewed optimism for the future.
Home to one of the largest & most diverse AAPI communities in the country, San Francisco has long been proof that the beauty is in the mix. Yet, in our City & across the country, our AAPI family, friends & neighbors have experienced a surge of violence over the last two years.
@HouseDemocrats have led the charge to enact @RepGraceMeng's COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, which has helped to combat anti-AAPI violence while empowering communities, raising awareness & creating a position at the Department of Justice to expedite the review of COVID-19 hate crimes.
It is wonderful that this year, thanks to the life-saving vaccines, many San Franciscans and Americans across the country can once again safely gather to celebrate the Lunar New Year and the joyful promise it brings. Read my full statement here:

This month and every #BlackHistoryMonth, America celebrates the resilient leadership, determined advocacy and unrelenting courage that the Black community has brought to our history and democracy.
As we remember with open eyes the injustices of the past, we also recognize the inequities of the present — from the scourges of systemic racism and police violence to the plights of economic inequality and health disparity, which have been exacerbated by the pandemic.
Today our nation proudly sees Black representation at the highest levels of our government, from a record number of Black Members legislating in the Congress to @VP leading in the Administration to @POTUS’s decision to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court.

When Justice Stephen Breyer departs from the bench, the Supreme Court and the Country will lose a leader of honor and integrity, a defender of liberty, justice and the Constitution, and a guardian of our fundamental rights.
Justice Breyer has championed liberty not merely as freedom from oppression, but as freedom to participate in our democracy – paving the way for great progress in our nation. Justice Breyer has helped ensure that our democracy does, as our Founders intended, work For The People.
For his legal brilliance, his unwavering integrity and his firm devotion to safeguarding our democracy, Justice Breyer will leave a remarkable legacy. We thank the Breyer family for sharing him with the Country.

Today’s GDP numbers show that America had the fastest economic growth in nearly four decades, powered by @HouseDemocrats’ American Rescue Plan and @POTUS Biden’s leadership.
Last year was also the single greatest year of job growth in American history – creating 6.4 million jobs. Americans are finding new jobs at a record pace, starting new small businesses, sending their children safely back to school and so much more.
We must build on this strong economic momentum by creating jobs, lowering costs and untangling supply chains. @HouseDemocrats unveiled our #AmericaCOMPETES Act: bold, results-oriented legislation that will strengthen American leadership and competitiveness at home and abroad.

The record-breaking 14.5 million ACA health insurance sign-ups since November 1st make crystal clear that, thanks to @POTUS Biden and @HouseDemocrats, health care is more affordable and accessible than ever.
The Affordable Care Act has served as a vital lifeline during the pandemic — and with our American Rescue Plan, Democrats dramatically lowered premiums so that millions are covered by a quality plan while saving families an average of $2,400.
As we battle the virus, ensuring quality, affordable and accessible health coverage will continue to be as important as ever. In a number of states, health insurance exchanges remain open through the end of this month, so there is still time for many Americans to sign up.

Today, the House takes action to transport our nation into the future, with the #AmericaCOMPETES Act: bold, results-oriented legislation that will strengthen America’s national and economic security and the financial security of families, and advance our leadership in the world.
The #AmericaCOMPETES Act will supercharge our investment in CHIPS, advance manufacturing at home, strengthen our supply chain, transform our research capacity and advance our competitiveness and leadership abroad, plus many other key provisions.
Major components of this package have already passed the House with overwhelmingly bipartisan votes. The #AmericaCOMPETES Act reflects a whole-of-House effort to produce a historic bill that will be most effective at strengthening our competitiveness at home and abroad.

SCOTUS' refusal of @HouseGOP’s request to overturn the dismissal of their frivolous lawsuit to block remote voting by proxy is a victory for Congress, the rule of law and public health.
Both the Constitution and more than a century of legal precedent make clear that the House is empowered to determine its own rules – and remote voting by proxy falls squarely within this purview.
Republicans have worked to recklessly endanger the health of colleagues, staffers and institutional workers. They do so with great shame and hypocrisy, as last year alone more than half of the Members of their conference designated a proxy so that they could vote remotely.
