Today is a great & historic day for America. With the #EqualityAct passing in the House, we're closer to living up to our professed values as a nation.
Speaker Pelosi said it all here: "This is not about tolerance. This is about respect. This is about taking pride." #LGBTQ🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
.@RepCicilline an author of the #EqualityAct, has been fighting for #EqualityForAll for decades in recognition of his rights and the rights of others in the #LGBTQ community.
He protected our Constitution as a House Manager; it must be made clear that it protects him as well.

Today was a disaster for Trump as the Supreme Ct. gave him a huge loss on his tax returns & financial records. Setting the stage for us to find out why #AllRoadsLeadToPutin with him.
Speaker Pelosi's reaction, below! But first, a word for our "ill-informed" Sec. of Education.🔥
SCOTUS handed Trump one of his worst days ever – rejecting his ridiculous stance that he's basically a king.
Both Gorsuch and Kavanaugh joined the 7-2 decision preserving our #ChecksAndBalances and affirming what Madam Speaker has always said: #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw.

Speaker Pelosi took a blowtorch to the ridiculous assertion by the Trump WH that Trump wasn't briefed orally about Russia putting a hit on our troops in Afghanistan because our intelligence agencies didn't have 100% confirmation.
More 🔥🔥🔥 from #MadamSpeaker's presser below!
Nearly a week since we learned that Russia put a bounty on the head of our troops in Afghanistan, Trump still has had nothing to say to Putin about the spilled American blood on his hands.
So on top of everything else, Trump is also a failed Commander-in-Chief.

🚨ICYMI: Speaker Pelosi was in a familiar role again – the adult handling another complex web of urgent issues #ForThePeople.
Stepping up to deliver on resources and game plan to fight the #coronavirus, she also slammed Republicans and Facebook for sabotaging our #census.
#CA12
As concern grew about whether the administration was prioritizing evidence-based policy and transparency with the public, the House came together w/ the Speaker's incredible leadership to pass a bipartisan bill that brings order and resources to this difficult task. #coronavirus

Trump is trumping, again, and it's still all hands on-deck to #DefendOurDemocracy.
Meanwhile, @SpeakerPelosi is leading a bicameral delegation at the Munich Security Conference where her words on the state of democracy in the US and abroad resonated with new urgency. #MSC2020@SpeakerPelosi Nodding to our rich history of welcoming newcomers who bring their clear-eyed optimism & hard-won wisdom to our American life, Madam Speaker's words brought hope that we may yet be uniquely resilient to authoritarian forces threatening the world's democracies now. #CA12#MSC2020

The ink wasn’t even dry on Trump’s #GOPTaxScam for the 1% when #GrimReaper Mitch set his sights on the social safety net seniors & struggling families depend on – to make up for the deficit *he* caused.
But Dems have news for him: NOT. ON. OUR. WATCH.
The #TrumpBudget is DOA.
A glaring example of this administration's reckless anti-science idiocy–
As the int’l community is all hands on deck to stop & eradicate the deadly #ConoraVirus, the very stable genius in the WH announced a plan to CUT✂️ our world-leading CDC’s budget in 1/2. #TrumpBudget FAIL.

Couldn't agree more w/ @SpeakerPelosi that the House managers have been "magnificent custodians of the Constitution" against Trump's lawlessness.
Because their efforts to dismantle our Constitution weren't enough for the week!?!

🚨📹 #ICYMI, a mega-thread🧵 of clips from yesterday's explosive start to the Impeachment Trial of Donald J. Trump. #GOPCoverup#ShamTrial
As you may have heard, the proceedings started at 1PM and didn't end until 2AM – because #MidnightMitch wants it done in the dead of night.
Why is Trump being impeached? His lawyers asked disingenuously. Well, @RepJeffries did the rundown of Trump's high crimes and misdemeanors for them.
Addressing action by House Dems for veterans, bigger paychecks, lower drug costs, & more – she also explained the duty of Congress to #DefendOurDemocracy.
Mincing no words, #MadamSpeaker was clear that the "devastating testimony" from both a career official at the State Dept. and Trump's own Ambassador to Ukraine "corroborated evidence of bribery" and obvious abuses of power shown in the WH's own memo of Trump's call with Zelensky.

🚨📹#ICYMI: Speaker Pelosi was joined at her weekly presser by Rep. Adam Schiff, Chair of the House Intelligence Committee. LOTS of #ImpeachmentInquiry news after a week of jaw-dropping revelations.💥See below💥
But first, news about work in the House to #LowerDrugCosts w/ #HR3.
With #MadamSpeaker's stellar leadership, the Democratic House Majority is more than able to WALK + CHEW GUM at the same time.
Ending a fact-finding trip on root causes of migration from the "Northern Triangle" – Guatemala, El Salvador & Honduras – Speaker Pelosi and her bipartisan delegation visited asylum seekers in the border city of McAllen, TX, and affirmed a MORAL RESPONSIBILITY to end this crisis.
On the heartbreak of traumatized children left on the street this week when their parents were taken in Mississippi #ICEraids, Speaker Pelosi recalled Trump's now broken promise to go after criminals only – saying his targeting of workplaces "undermines the character of America."

.@JerryNadler, Chair of the Judiciary Committee, teed off today's #MuellerHearings by establishing that Trump & Barr are lying about #Mueller's findings.
Mueller, when asked if his RPT found no obstruction and exonerates Trump: "It is not what the report said." #FollowTheFacts
As Democrats focused on obstruction of justice by Trump, GOP Rep. Buck tried to help Trump.
But ended up shining a brighter light instead on the tell-tale approach Mueller decided on for when he 1) found or 2) did not find sufficient evidence of a crime by Trump. #FollowTheFacts

In reaction to obvious lies in Barr’s testimony on the #MuellerReport, #MadamSpeaker came to an alarming conclusion for our country: “The attorney general of the United States of America was not telling the truth to the Congress of the United States. That’s a crime!”
💥THREAD💥
Underscoring the seriousness of Barr's flagrant decision to lie to Congress about his handling of the Special Counsel investigation & the #MuellerReport, #MadamSpeaker called him out: "Nobody is above the law. Not the President of the United States. Not the Attorney General." ⚖️

#MadamSpeaker and House Dems passing #HR1 to restore integrity to government and to our elections is what we all worked for last election! 🌊💪
From @repjohnlewis to the stellar Freshman class, House Dems will never stop fighting for our democracy and #ForThePeople!
💥THREAD💥
On the Capitol steps, Rep. @ZoeLofgren exposed the great contrast between #HR1 with a Democratic majority 💥voting rights & ethics #ForThePeople💥and the last Congress, when Republicans rammed thru their #GOPTaxScam👎 – written by big corporate lobbyists – as their #1 priority!
