On this day two years ago, Democrats ignited a beacon of hope for America’s families, as @POTUS Biden signed into law our American Rescue Plan. Two years later, families are feeling the impact of this life-saving, life-changing law.
We have seen the strongest 2 years of job growth with 12.4 million jobs created. Health care is now more affordable & accessible than ever before. With support for state & local government we honored health care workers, first responders, teachers, transportation workers & more.
Democrats forged this progress without one Republican vote. Under President Biden’s leadership, Democrats are fighting to build on this foundation as we continue to put #PeopleOverPolitics.

Today’s announcement by the EU & the UK that they have reached an agreement on the Windsor Framework is good news. It appears that the consensus that has been reached will open the door to the restoration of Northern Ireland’s government, respectful of the Good Friday Agreement.
The Windsor Framework must support the Good Friday Agreement, be acceptable to the people of Northern Ireland, and improve the British-Irish partnership.
The United States is very proud of the role our leaders played in establishing the Good Friday Agreement, a pillar of our foreign policy – and we salute those who worked so hard to end the impasse a quarter-century ago.

On this Presidents’ Day, @POTUS’ historic visit to Kyiv at this critical moment is a manifestation of America’s commitment to Democracy, in Ukraine and in the world.

And as the President said today, ‘there is significant agreement’ in Congress on support for Ukraine.
Just days before we observe 1 year since Russia’s unlawful invasion, America sent the largest-ever Congressional delegation to @MunSecConf. Our high-powered delegation — House & Senate, Democrats & Republicans — was united in our expression of continued solidarity with Ukraine.
It was my special honor to join Ukrainian Speaker @R_Stefanchuk in a moderated conversation on the role of parliaments in the fight for freedom.

At the Conference, we sent a message of strong, unified & continued support for the Ukrainian people’s courageous fight for Democracy.

.@SenFeinstein is a titan in the Senate, with a record that stands among the finest in history. For 30 years, California and our Country has been served by her leadership: from our national security and safety, to our people and planet's health, to the strength of our Democracy.
On @JudiciaryDems, Senator Feinstein is responsible for the Assault Weapons Ban, which stemmed the tide of mass shootings for 10 years, and for the Violence Against Women Act. As Chair of the Intelligence Committee, she helped keep us safe and strong while honoring our values.
Throughout her entire career, Senator Feinstein has been a champion for the Golden State. She broke barriers as the first woman to serve as Mayor of San Francisco — and in a moment of horror and heartbreak, she offered our City poised, courageous and hopeful leadership.

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.
