Today, I signed an historic omnibus government funding bill to continue to deliver #ForThePeople through the end of the fiscal year.

This bill now heads to @POTUS to become law.
This bill makes crucial investments in meeting the urgent needs of American families, workers, veterans and national security.

Proudly, during #WomensHistoryMonth, this legislation also finally reauthorizes the Violence Against Women Act.
Finally, this legislation also secures $13.6 billion in deeply needed humanitarian, military and economic assistance for Ukraine. The Congress remains ironclad in our commitment to supporting the Ukrainian people as they face Putin's diabolical aggression.
The House salutes @RosaDeLauro for her masterful leadership in negotiating this package, which will serve as a strong foundation as @HouseDemocrats continue our focus on #BuildingABetterAmerica.

One year ago, in the darkness of the pandemic, @POTUS proudly signed into law @HouseDemocrats#AmericanRescuePlan, putting our nation on the path to crush the pandemic by getting shots in arms, money in pockets, workers safely back on the job and children safely back at school.
This law saved lives with vaccinations, testing, tracing, PPE & more. It put Americans on the road to financial security with direct payments, housing assistance, investments in small businesses, measures to lift millions of children out of poverty & help for cities & states.
Proudly, in the Rescue Plan, Democrats took action to honor our frontline heroes – health care workers, police officers, firefighters, teachers, and food, sanitation and transportation workers — who are the backbone of our economy.

.@SenSchumer and I are pleased to announce that the Congress has reached an historic bipartisan omnibus appropriations agreement #ForThePeople. This bipartisan agreement will help us address many of the major challenges we face at home and abroad.
The agreement will invest $13.6 billion in Emergency Supplemental funding for Ukraine security & humanitarian needs. The brave, freedom-loving people of Ukraine & our allies in the region will receive urgently needed investments to fight the Russians’ illegal & immoral invasion.
The agreement will also invest $15.6 billion in Emergency Supplemental funding for President Biden’s COVID-19 response to protect and treat against new variants, avoid shutdowns and fight the virus abroad.

Today, on #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the generations of trailblazing women who have paved a path toward gender justice. This day also serves as a global rallying cry, calling on us to advance the rights and dignities of women at home, at work and in every part of life. Image
Guided by the leadership of more than 120 women Members, the Democratic House is building a more just future – from strengthening women's rights in the workplace to defending reproductive health freedoms to advancing investments in maternal care, child care and more.
Today, and every day, let us summon the extraordinary courage and resilience of the many women who came before us. Democrats will never relent as we carry on the fight for full equality – not only for our nation’s daughters, but for women and girls all over the world.

In nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, @POTUS has chosen a widely respected jurist who will bring to the Court one of the sharpest legal minds in a generation, an unyielding commitment to justice and a strong voice for American values.
This is a moment of great pride & patriotism for our nation, as Judge Jackson makes history as the first Black woman nominated to the Supreme Court. She will also be the first federal public defender to serve on the Court & will bring extensive courtroom experience to the bench.
Judge Jackson will be a force for justice on the Court, with masterful command of the law and outstanding credentials. After beginning her career as a clerk for Justice Breyer, she will carry on his mission to preserve the Court’s role as a defender of our rights and freedoms.

Russia’s launch of a premeditated war against the sovereign nation of Ukraine is an attack on democracy and a violation of international law, global peace and security. Putin’s unprovoked actions will cause devastating loss of life and a diminishing of Russia in the world order.
The leadership of President Biden and our allies to demonstrate overwhelming resolve is crucial in this moment of heartbreak and suffering for the Ukrainian people. We are united with strength and coordination in our commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The response of America and our allies will be severe, ongoing and devastating for Russia, economically, diplomatically, and strategically. @POTUS  has made clear throughout Russia’s escalation we will continue to impose costs on Russia that will leave it weakened in every way.

Our Congressional delegation came to the United Kingdom to reaffirm our nations’ enduring relationship & to deepen the bonds between parliaments. In our discussions, we expressed how the relationship remains crucial in the fight against anti-democratic forces around the globe.
Yesterday, @CommonsSpeaker extended to our delegation the privilege of an official welcome to @HouseofCommons & a ceremonial luncheon with senior Members of Parliament. We also met with @BorisJohnson & discussed the determination of allied nations to counter Russian aggression.
Our delegation also held additional bilateral meetings with senior British leaders @trussliz & @Keir_Starmer to discuss the importance of the NATO alliance & transatlantic partnership, the COVID-19 response & the imperative of transitioning to diversified green energy solutions.
