Today is a day of important progress on one of @HouseDemocrats’ top priorities: building safer communities. The #InvestToProtectAct we passed today – rooted in Democrats’ values of safety & justice – takes a strong step to prevent crime, save lives & advance justice.
Led by @RepJoshG & @RepBeatty the #InvestToProtectAct funds our police & includes training for de-escalation & nonlethal force, substance use disorders response, & supporting survivors of domestic violence. This legislation is a victory for safety & accountability for all.
We passed 3 bills to save lives: @RepKatiePorter's sends unarmed mental health professionals for mental health crises, @RepHorsford's invests in effective community violence intervention & @RepValDemings' ensures police can solve violent crimes & advances justice for victims.
.@HouseDemocrats know every American deserves to live in a safe community – where they & their family can thrive. This public safety package is the latest manifestation of our commitment to putting #PeopleOverPolitics & building safer communities for all. speaker.gov/newsroom/92222…

Today’s rollout is the latest evidence of House Republicans’ whole-hearted Commitment to MAGA: going all-in on an extremist agenda designed to greatly diminish Americans’ health, freedom and security.
This alarming new extreme MAGA platform threatens to criminalize women’s health care, slash seniors’ Medicare and raise prescription drug prices, and attack our free and fair elections.
But this extreme MAGA agenda is way out of step with Americans’ priorities, who align with Democrats’ vision of putting #PeopleOverPolitics: with lower costs, better-paying jobs and safer communities.

Our Congressional delegation traveled to Armenia, an important front in the battle between democracy & autocracy. Throughout our engagements, we conveyed a strong message of support for Armenia’s democracy & security, particularly following Azerbaijan’s offensive against Armenia.
Members of the @ArmenianCaucus Chairs @FrankPallone, @RepAnnaEshoo, and @RepSpeier, and I began our visit by laying a wreath at the Tsitsernakaberd Armenian Genocide Memorial. There, we prayed for the 1.5 million Armenian men, women, and children murdered in the genocide.
Congress is committed to ensuring that the truth of the genocide is never erased – which is why, in 2019, we passed legislation to formally acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, which @POTUS Biden echoed with his official recognition last year.

Today, I delivered remarks in Yerevan at the Cafesjian Center for the Arts to make it clear that America stands with Armenia. In the ongoing battle against autocracy around the world, we will always support democracy and freedom. Image
After my speech, our delegation has the opportunity to speak with civil society leaders at a roundtable. They shared their experiences and we discussed the need to ensure that all can live free from violence & conflict. Image
During this difficult time, we must have hope. We can find hope in the story of Armenia, which is one of resilience and strength.

We can find hope through the arts, and as the poet Paruyr Sevak wrote: the flame never went off, but through long centuries kept on burning. Image

Today, I am leading a Congressional delegation to Armenia to highlight the strong commitment of the United States to security, economic prosperity, and democratic governance in Armenia and the Caucasus region.
This delegation follows the 2019 passage of House Resolution 296, introduced by @RepAdamSchiff, which recognizes the murder of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire as genocide, and following @POTUS becoming the first president to formally acknowledge the Armenian Genocide.
It is the moral duty of all to never forget: an obligation that has taken on heightened urgency as atrocities are perpetrated around the globe, including by Russia against Ukraine.

Each year, #HispanicHeritageMonth honors the contributions and beautiful diversity of America’s Latino communities – from immigrants proudly embracing their new home to families whose roots predate our founding.
At every stage of America’s history, Latinos have enriched the fabric of our culture, the vitality of our democracy and the strength of our nation.
Whether on the battlefield or on the frontlines of the pandemic, in union halls or in the halls of power, Latinos’ talents and patriotism have helped forge an ever-brighter future for all Americans.

The nationwide abortion ban proposal put forth today is the latest, clearest signal of extreme MAGA Republicans intent to criminalize women’s health freedom in all 50 states and arrest doctors for providing basic care.
Make no mistake: if Republicans get the chance, they will work to pass laws even more draconian than this bill – just like the bans they have enacted in states like Texas, Mississippi and Oklahoma.
We are already seeing the agonizing reality of the radical bans enacted by radical right-wing state legislatures – and extreme MAGA Republicans in Congress clearly want to inflict this same suffering on every woman in every state.
