Tonight, @POTUS Biden, in his inspiring and optimistic remarks, made crystal clear that our rights, our freedom and our Democracy are on the line.
Every American who cares about the integrity of our Democracy, the fairness of our economy, the safety of our communities and the health of our planet is grateful to the President for his values-based vision and patriotic leadership.
Extreme MAGA Republicans are orchestrating a sinister campaign. By criminalizing women's health care, ending Social Security & Medicare & undermining our elections, the GOP is working to turn back the clock on fundamental liberties while fanning the flames of violence & division.
In stark contrast, under the strong leadership of @POTUS, Democrats have powered progress for America’s families. With our landmark laws to bring down costs, create better paying jobs and build safer communities, Democrats are demonstrating that Democracy can continue to deliver.
The American people are rejecting Republicans’ extreme MAGA agenda – instead, choosing Democrats’ unifying vision of #PeopleOverPolitics. Read my full statement on President Biden’s Address on Defending Democracy here: speaker.gov/newsroom/9122-1

The August jobs numbers show that America is continuing its strong & steady job growth. Under @POTUS, our nation has powered record-setting job creation: helping millions get back to work, while empowering Americans to get off the sidelines & rejoin the workforce.
This robust and ongoing jobs recovery was sparked by Democrats’ American Rescue Plan and furthered by our Infrastructure Law. Now, we are building on this momentum to lower kitchen table costs and create more opportunities for our workers.
Our CHIPS & Science Act will create good-paying jobs in American semiconductor manufacturing & technological innovation. Our #InflationReductionAct will deliver 9 million new jobs in clean energy, while slashing prescription drug costs for seniors & energy bills for families.

The Energy and Commerce Committee is to be commended for its work on federal data privacy legislation.  Importantly, Democrats won the right for consumers for the first time to be able to seek damages in court for violations of their privacy rights.
However, Governor Newsom, the California Privacy Protection Agency and top state leaders have pointed out the American Data Privacy and Protection Act does not guarantee the same essential consumer protections as California’s existing privacy laws.
Proudly, California leads the nation not only in innovation, but also in consumer protection.  With so much innovation happening in our state, it is imperative that California continues offering and enforcing the nation’s strongest privacy rights.

Today, the American people mark the 102nd anniversary of the 19th Amendment: a hard-won victory secured by generations of women bravely fighting to build a more perfect union.
In winning the right to vote more than a century ago, trailblazing suffragists tore down a seemingly immovable barrier to women’s full and equal citizenship in our Democracy.
Too often unsung in the American story, courageous women of color continued advancing that struggle for decades after – moving us ever closer to realizing our founding promise of liberty and justice for all.

.@POTUS’ bold action is a strong step in Democrats’ fight to expand access to higher education.

By delivering historic targeted student debt relief to millions of borrowers, more working families will be able to meet their kitchen table needs as they recover from the pandemic.
This action will help those most in need, easing a financial burden disproportionately harming women and people of color.

Guided by @POTUS' commitment to justice and equity, Democrats are opening the gates of higher education for those who have long been left behind.
Our American Rescue Plan invested nearly $40 billion in colleges and universities – with substantial funding for Minority Serving Institutions.

Democrats secured a $400 increase in the maximum Pell Grant, and our CHIPS & Science Act is widening the pathway to a STEM education.

.@POTUS just signed into law Democrats’ #InflationReductionAct.

This historic legislation will lower kitchen table costs, create good-paying jobs, deliver the most significant action on climate in history while reducing the deficit.

Here’s what it means for you:
If you’re a senior: the #InflationReductionAct slashes your prescription drug costs.

By empowering Medicare to negotiate drug prices, preventing excessive price hikes faster than inflation and capping out-of-pocket costs to $2,000 per year, you'll keep more money in your pocket.
If you’re one of the 13 million working Americans with an affordable plan under the ACA: The #InflationReductionAct will keep saving you an average of $800/year.

This new law locks in lower health care premiums, so you’ll be able to keep your coverage and save on health costs.

Nearly nine decades ago, amid the turmoil and hardship of the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act – ensuring that, after a lifetime of hard work, seniors could enjoy the dignity of a secure retirement.
For generations, Social Security has been a pillar of financial stability: bringing peace of mind to those in retirement, living with a disability or grieving a loved one. Yet, Republicans are continuing their extreme efforts to unwind this transformative legislative achievement.
Today, tens of millions of Americans rely on their hard-earned Social Security checks to get by each month. Rather than safeguarding and strengthening these essential benefits, extreme MAGA Republicans are seeking to destroy Social Security as we know it.
