It is shameful, but not surprising, that @HouseGOP’s first order of business in this Congress is to protect corporate America and ultra-wealthy individuals who are illegally avoiding taxes.
Last summer, Democrats enacted the Inflation Reduction Act: bolstering resources to ensure the wealthiest few & greediest corporations will pay what they owe. Now, Republicans want to rip away these resources, which will drive up the deficit & let wealthy tax cheats off the hook.
This new MAGA Majority in the House will always choose its rich donors and political interests over the well-being of working families. @HouseDemocrats are fighting back against this extreme agenda — because we put #PeopleOverPolitics. pelosi.house.gov/news/press-rel…

This Congress, it was my privilege as Speaker to establish several powerful House Select Committees – which have brought leadership, transparency and actionable insight to guide our work #ForThePeople.
 
Here are a few of the highlights from their outstanding efforts:
.@ClimateCrisis was the foundation of our landmark #InflationReductionAct and played a key role in @HouseDemocrats work to slash carbon pollution by 40% this decade. Half of their recommendations have been enacted into law — and we're fighting for more. climatecrisis.house.gov/report2022
The @January6thCmte has brought clarity of conscience in our work to defend Democracy. With painstaking detail, they uncovered important conclusions about the plot to subvert the Congress, shred the Constitution and halt the peaceful transfer of power. january6th.house.gov/report-executi…

The Congress salutes Chairs @RosaDeLauro and @SenatorLeahy for their masterful leadership in crafting a strong, bicameral, bipartisan government funding bill.

We are investing heavily in families and workers, honoring our veterans, and strengthening Democracy at home and abroad.
This package expands quality, affordable health care while strengthening underserved communities, notably in Puerto Rico & other territories.
 
The bill ensures that millions of children retain their health coverage & 29 million kids get healthy meals through EBT over the summer.
The omnibus includes a huge increase in veterans’ health care — including for implementing our PACT Act. The bill will also increase pay for our troops and meet military families’ needs.

This legislation also delivers further aid to Ukraine, supporting their fight for Democracy.

Today's passage of #HR8393 is a key step to ensure Puerto Rico’s future is one of its own choosing.

With the Puerto Rico Status Act, the House voted to tear down the vestiges of colonialism – honoring the dignity, equality and rights of more than 3 million American citizens.
For more than a century, Puerto Rico has been governed under a political system imposed by outside forces rather than established by its people. Denied the right to a vote in Congress or for President, Puerto Rico’s territorial status has left it vulnerable to unequal treatment.
The Puerto Rico Status Act will empower the people of Puerto Rico to choose for themselves how to move forward: statehood, independence or sovereignty in free association with the United States.

10 years ago, Newtown and our nation were shaken by an unfathomable act of evil: 20 precious schoolchildren and 6 devoted educators slaughtered at Sandy Hook Elementary School. This monstrous rampage robbed innocent children of their futures and left loved ones forever shattered.
Endlessly inspired by courageous survivors and families transforming their anguish into action, Democrats have led the charge to combat the scourge of gun violence. This summer, @POTUS & @HouseDemocrats enacted the first major gun violence prevention law in nearly three decades.
More must be done to save lives – which is why @HouseDemocrats have passed legislation to reinstate the Assault Weapons Ban, more efficiently warn communities during an active shooting and secure universal background checks. We will not rest until these vital measures become law.

Seven years ago, the global community gathered in Paris, united by a shared commitment to saving our planet. The Paris Climate Agreement charted a roadmap toward unprecedented climate action, setting ambitious targets in our fight against an existential crisis.
Last month, I had the privilege of leading a Congressional delegation to COP27 in Egypt, where the United States and our partners proudly reaffirmed our pledge to forge a healthier, safer and more sustainable future.
This year, @POTUS Biden and Congressional Democrats proudly enacted the largest climate investment in history – empowering our nation to slash carbon pollution by 40% this decade and setting us on the path to a net-zero, clean energy future.

The November jobs report is the latest evidence that our strong, steady, expectation-shattering recovery continues.
 
Under @POTUS & @HouseDemocrats, our nation has seen the strongest jobs growth on record: 10.5 million new jobs added, including 750,000 new jobs in manufacturing.
During the 117th Congress, Democrats have enacted a job-creating economic agenda that has propelled our nation from the depths of the pandemic.
 
Our American Rescue Plan got millions of Americans swiftly, safely back to work – with vaccines in arms & relief for small businesses.
We built on this progress with our Infrastructure Law, creating new union-protected jobs rebuilding our roads, bridges, public transit and more.  
 
We’re paving new pathways to high-paying careers in STEM, R&D, and semiconductor manufacturing with the CHIPS and Science Law.
