I told reporters during my weekly press conference that I am bringing a short-term Continuing Resolution to the Floor today to fund the government through March 11 as omnibus negotiations continue. I continue to urge appropriators to move quickly to reach agreement on an omnibus.
I also told reporters that House Democrats remain focused on advancing important priorities #ForThePeople this week, including bills to reform @USPS in a bipartisan fashion, #EndForcedArbitration, and affirm our commitment to LGBTQ rights worldwide.
I said to press that last Friday’s #JobsReport capped off a historic year of job growth, w/ nearly half a million jobs created in Jan ‘22 alone. House Dems passed the #AmericaCOMPETES Act that same day to unlock even more opportunity for workers & businesses to #MakeItInAmerica.
Finally, I said to reporters that the RNC’s censure of Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger for telling the truth was inexplicable. To call what happened on January 6th anything other than dangerous to our democracy is an undermining of our Constitution.

The #TrumpBudget is replete with dangerous proposals that leave working families to fend for themselves in a changing and uncertain economy. It makes the President’s priorities clear: the wealthiest Americans come first ahead of working Americans. bit.ly/2HaXWkH
The #TrumpBudget is a manifestation of #TrumpBrokenPromises to improve health care, safeguard Medicare, & eliminate the debt. POTUS cuts Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, nutrition assistance, student loan assistance, & other priorities to offset the deficits caused by the #GOPTaxScam.
POTUS & GOP allies promised that their tax cuts for the wealthiest would pay for themselves & not cause higher deficits because the benefits directed toward the wealthy would eventually trickle down to workers & boost economic activity. This #TrumpBudget makes no mention of them.
My staff will tweet during today’s press conference on the #GOPTaxScam’s impact on middle-class families, small biz owners, & seniors. Follow along here using the hashtag #GOPTaxScam
Six months ago, Congressional Republicans passed a hastily written #GOPTaxScam law that adds $1.8 trillion to the deficit to give massive tax breaks to the wealthiest. The bill came to the Floor without hearings, testimony, &, very frankly, without proofreading.
