Today’s jobs numbers offer further proof that America remains on a path of strong, sustainable job growth. Under @POTUS Biden and a Democratic Congress, our nation has seen the strongest jobs recovery in modern times.
This progress was powered by Democrats’ economic agenda: from our Rescue Plan to our Infrastructure Law to our CHIPS and Science Act.
 
But Republicans overwhelmingly opposed these laws — and the historic job creation they have sparked.
At the same time, while Democrats are lowering kitchen table costs for families with our #InflationReductionAct, @HouseGOP has put forth an extreme MAGA agenda that would raise prescription drug prices, slash Social Security and Medicare, and diminish our economy.
Make no mistake: Republicans want to raise costs on the backs of America’s working families. In sharp contrast, @HouseDemocrats are fighting to put #PeopleOverPolitics: lower costs, better-paying jobs and safer communities for all of America’s families. speaker.gov/newsroom/10722

This is a day of hope and healing, as @POTUS takes historic steps to reform America’s approach to marijuana. These transformative actions are the latest manifestation of Democrats’ unyielding commitment to justice, especially for those unfairly harmed by cannabis criminalization.
Failed federal drug policies — which have specifically targeted communities of color — have torn apart too many families. By pardoning those arrested for simple marijuana possession, and encouraging governors to follow suit, the President is advancing racial and economic justice.
.@HouseDemocrats applaud these bold actions, which build on the progress we forged in passing our Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act.

This legislation decriminalizes marijuana at the federal level and empowers all to participate in the cannabis industry.

Today’s appellate court ruling offers a measure of temporary relief for our Dreamers, who are a pride and constant reinvigoration of our nation.
.@POTUS is to be commended for his proactive action in August to strengthen the DACA initiative against extreme MAGA Republican attacks. More must be done to offer the permanent stability and security that millions of Dreamers and their families deserves.
That’s why @HouseDemocrats have twice passed the Dream and Promise Act: to finally offer Dreamers a permanent pathway to citizenship, while fixing our broken immigration system through comprehensive reform.

With this year’s White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health, @POTUS is mobilizing renewed, nationwide action against the hunger crisis – including more than $8 billion in private- and public-sector commitments.
The injustice of children going to bed hungry is a moral outrage – one that motivated myself and many in our House Democratic Caucus to seek public office.
President Kennedy once told the World Food Congress: ‘We have the capacity to eliminate hunger from the face of the earth in our lifetime. We need only the will.’

On behalf of the United States Congress, shana tovah u’metukah! 
 
As families across the country prepare to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Congress joins Americans in wishing our Jewish communities a healthy, sweet new year.
May these Days of Awe provide time to rejoice alongside loved ones: reflecting on the challenges of the past year, celebrating its blessings and preparing for all that that lies ahead in 5783.
For millions, this year has brought the joy of long-delayed family gatherings and the hope of many more to come. But as families around the globe continue to face unthinkable hardship, our responsibility to help repair the world remains as urgent as ever.

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.

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.
