For more than half a century, #EarthDay has offered an opportunity to recognize the beauty and fragility of our natural environment.
@POTUS and @HouseDemocrats are carrying on a proud American tradition of stewardship as we pursue a bold and essential environmental agenda.
Now more than ever, we see the urgency and necessity of achieving energy independence through a clean energy future.
Democrats will not relent until we realize @POTUS’ ambitious vision of slashing carbon pollution in half by 2030 & achieving a carbon neutral economy by 2050.
And with our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Democratic Congress took action to advance environmental justice for all — from getting the lead out of our children’s drinking water to cleaning up legacy pollution disproportionately harming communities of color.
Americans born today will live to see the next century.
This Earth Day, let us renew our resolve to secure for our children and grandchildren the bright future that they deserve.
Today, @POTUS took new action to bring down prices at the pump by propelling the development of homegrown ethanol: a powerful tool to fight Putin’s Price Hike.
Doing so will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and empower America’s farmers to help fight Putin’s Price Hike.
This homegrown biofuel is a cleaner, cheaper fuel option: helping save families money at the pump & moving us closer to energy independence. Big Oil must join us in this effort by adding Unleaded 88 to more pumps & gas stations, rather than put profits above the American people.
The Administration’s new action builds on bold steps in recent weeks to bring down gas prices, including by ordering an historic release from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve and working with our allies to secure releases from strategic reserves around the world.
Today is a day of great pride and patriotism for our nation, as Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson makes history as the first Black woman to be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
During her nomination process, Judge Jackson demonstrated the magnificence of her legal mind, unyielding commitment to justice & remarkable poise. In her appearances before the Judiciary Committee & in meetings with Senators, she earned bipartisan recognition of her excellence.
On the bench, Judge Jackson will be a relentless defender of individual rights and the rule of law. American families will greatly benefit from her extensive courtroom experience and background as a public defender that she will bring to the Court.
.@POTUS Biden’s Executive Order today is a powerful step to lower families’ health costs. With this bold action to #ProtectOurCare, nearly a million Americans will see lower premiums & hundreds of thousands of uninsured Americans will gain affordable coverage.
By delivering affordable coverage to families who only have unaffordable coverage options at work, we put more money in families' pockets and realize a key priority of the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Enhancement Act passed by the House Democratic Majority in 2020.
Thanks to @POTUS & @HouseDemocrats, health care is more affordable & accessible than ever.
Our Rescue Plan saved families an average of $2,400 last year. And we are fighting to slash prescription drug prices, including by capping out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35/month.
Today at sundown, Muslim communities in America and around the world joyfully welcome the Holy Month of #Ramadan. Each year, the emergence of the new moon brings a season of self-reflection, spiritual renewal and gratitude for life’s blessings.
For generations, America’s large and diverse Muslim communities have been essential to our nation’s success: whether serving on the frontlines of the pandemic, advancing the fight against injustice in our communities or enriching our cultural tapestry.
Despite the invaluable contributions of Muslim Americans, Islamophobia continues to threaten our Muslim communities and undermine Americans’ most cherished national values, with hate crimes against Muslims on the rise in recent years.
Today, Californians and all Americans honor César Chávez, a fearless champion for justice and a tireless civil rights activist. Chávez was an icon of the modern labor movement, leading the United Farm Workers’ fight for better pay and protections against exploitation.
Building on Chávez’s legendary advocacy, House Democrats have taken action to ensure that nobody who works to feed our country is limited to permanent second class status, twice passing the bipartisan Farm Workforce Modernization Act.
House Democrats have also twice passed the Richard L. Trumka PRO Act to reform our nation’s outdated labor laws and strengthen Americans’ right to join a union.
Today, @POTUS submitted to the Congress a strong, visionary budget request that would make progress #ForThePeople. As our nation continues our record-setting recovery from the pandemic, the Biden budget would help meet the needs of America’s families.
This bold fiscal blueprint proposes deeply needed investments in communities across the country to help lower the everyday costs weighing on families, grow workers’ paychecks and create good-paying jobs – all while ensuring the wealthiest few pay their fair share.
The investments proposed in the #BidenBudget demonstrate a strong focus on ensuring community safety, with more investments in police and violence prevention. It would also invest in national security, as America continues to counter Russia’s unprovoked war in Ukraine.
