Today’s Supreme Court ruling upholds our Democracy, the rule of law and the Congress’ ability to execute its legislative and oversight responsibilities. Now, the Congress must enact legislation requiring Presidents and candidates for President to disclose their tax returns.
The Supreme Court’s commonsense decision will allow the IRS to comply with federal law and deliver the former President’s tax returns to @WaysMeansCmte.
These documents are vital to meeting the House’s Constitutional mandate: guarding the public interest, defending our national security and holding our public officials to account.
The House looks forward to promptly receiving and reviewing these documents, and we extend our deepest thanks to @RepRichardNeal for his deliberate, principled leadership in the fight to advance ethical, transparent governance #ForThePeople. speaker.gov/newsroom/11222…

As our nation marks Transgender Day of Remembrance, @HouseDemocrats mourn the countless Americans stolen away by the scourge of transphobic violence, a crisis that continues to disproportionately harm trans people of color.
Today, and every day, let us offer comfort to grieving loved ones, honor those killed and continue fighting to save lives from the wicked forces of hate.
That fight is more urgent than ever, as right-wing extremists target transgender Americans’ fundamental rights and freedoms.
Horrified by such shameless bigotry, House Democrats are proud to march alongside our trans friends, neighbors and siblings as we work to uphold justice for all.
That is why we have enacted fully-inclusive federal hate crime protections and twice passed the Equality Act.
This year, @HouseDemocrats defied expectations with an excellent performance: running their races with courage, optimism and determination.
In the next Congress, @HouseDemocrats will continue to play a leading role supporting @POTUS’ agenda — with strong leverage over a scant Republican majority.
House Democrats are thrilled to have so many terrific new and returning Members to the House, who will reinvigorate our Caucus with their energy, diversity and patriotism.
A year ago today, America took a giant leap forward to rebuild our nation while rebuilding our middle class. When @POTUS signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we seized an opportunity to strengthen our nation’s crumbling infrastructure, create jobs and reconnect communities.
Across the country, communities are already seeing the impacts of this landmark law. Shovels are in the ground right now, repairing roads and bridges, improving airports and waterways, and investing in passenger rail and public transit.
At the same time, this law advances @HouseDemocrats’ unyielding commitment to equity and justice: getting lead out of drinking water, expanding broadband access in rural areas, and cleaning up legacy pollution in underserved communities.
Today, our Congressional delegation concluded a productive visit to #COP27, where we delivered an unmistakable message: America is all in to fight the climate crisis.
Our delegation salutes @POTUS – under his visionary leadership, America is accelerating our transition to a clean energy future and making progress on our commitment to future generations: that we will pass on the planet in a responsible, sustainable way.
President Biden’s well-acclaimed address to the conference offered a unifying call for collective action to save the planet – renewing optimism in our nation and around the world.
Each year, Veterans Day brings our nation together in gratitude for the patriotism, courage and selfless service of our military heroes.
Honoring the service of these warriors has long been and must always be a unifying mission – a priority that transcends party and politics.
This summer, with great respect for their sacrifice, the Congress passed and President Biden signed the PACT Act. This monumental achievement is protecting the health of those who fought to protect us – expanding access to care for as many as 3.5 million Servicemembers.
It is with great pride that @HouseDemocrats also secured vital housing support for veterans through our American Rescue Plan, and we will continue fighting to strengthen life-saving mental health services with the House-passed STRONG Veterans Act.
Our delegation traveled to #COP27 to make it clear that America is all in for climate action.
This gathering comes just months after Democrats enacted the #InflationReductionAct, putting America on a path to meet our obligation to future generations and beat our Paris goals.
Today, we met with President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Foreign Minister and #COP27 President Sameh Shoukry and other senior Egyptian officials.
We thanked them for their leadership in the fight to address the climate crisis and discussed our concerns regarding human rights.
It was my honor to participate in a moderated conversation with @ArshtRock Director Kathy McLeod.
With @RepKCastor, we discussed how, under @POTUS, America is strategically investing in community resilience to help protect families amid the climate crisis.
