From a young age, my mother passed her love and admiration for Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune on to me. It’s an honor to help share the legacy of my mother’s hero and fellow @NAACP Spingarn Medal recipient with all who step foot in the U.S. Capitol. https://t.co/v5Wiitlzm6 — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I celebrate the life and legacy of McKinley Washington. He was a fierce advocate for the Sea Islands of SC and spent his life fighting for equity and a better quality of life for the communities he represented. May he rest in power. https://t.co/SP6fYavmk1 — PolitiTweet.org

House Democrats have already passed legislation that will benefit American families; like our bills to cap the monthly cost of insulin at $35, protect access to contraception, and protect marriage equality. We need the Senate to send these bills to the President's desk. https://t.co/f9JhK99F2N — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I was honored to present the President’s Volunteer Service Award to Ms. Emily Meggett for her contributions to Gullah Geeche Culinary.

Not only does South Carolina produce 3 times more peaches than Georgia, but we're home to premium peaches from Titan Farms! I'm excited to continue the tradition of sharing this home grown deliciousness with my colleagues in D.C. https://t.co/N5rDgD9mvj — PolitiTweet.org

1 million American households have signed up to lower their monthly internet costs through the bipartisan infrastructure bill's Affordable Connectivity Program. Closing the digital divide will help bring every community into the 21st century. https://t.co/PlmdSxZcF3 — PolitiTweet.org

The House Republican assault on women’s rights continues. 197 just refused to vote for a bill to protect access to contraception. This extremist party must be stopped, and we must fight to repair the damage they’ve already done. — PolitiTweet.org

James E. Clyburn @RepJamesClyburn

Pleased the House passed the FY23 minibus appropriations bill, which includes nearly $28 million in community project funding I secured for SC-06. The federal government ought to invest in every community, especially those suffering historic neglect. https://t.co/jbmbvJtloD — PolitiTweet.org

I am humbled to receive the Spingarn Medal—the @NAACP's lifetime achievement award and highest honor. Ahead of tonight's celebration, I spoke with @MadisonSiriusXM about this momentous occasion and how Democrats are fighting for a better America. https://t.co/DVnlCgLSUC — PolitiTweet.org

10 years ago today, the Aurora shooting shattered a community & claimed 12 lives. Similar tragedies have been far too common. @HouseDemocrats continue to fight for common-sense gun violence prevention measures, including with today’s @HouseJudiciary #AssaultWeaponsBan markup. — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased my bill to connect historical sites associated with the American Revolution in the Carolinas just passed the House.   The Southern Campaign was key to securing America’s independence, yet it's often overlooked. We ought to preserve and learn from our rich history. — PolitiTweet.org

James E. Clyburn @RepJamesClyburn

It's a proud day for South Carolina. I'm pleased by the Senate’s strong bipartisan vote to confirm Judge J. Michelle Childs to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. She will be an outstanding addition to this prestigious court. — PolitiTweet.org

James E. Clyburn @RepJamesClyburn

The House just passed the Respect for Marriage Act to ensure that same-sex and interracial marriages are protected under federal law. @HouseDemocrats will not let unelected, right-wing Justices weaken Americans' constitutional right to marriage equality. — PolitiTweet.org

In a concurrent opinion ripping away women's right to choose, Justice Thomas outlined next steps—including ending marriage equality. Today, @HouseDemocrats will pass the Respect for Marriage Act to enshrine marriage equality in federal law & stop state efforts to curb this right. — PolitiTweet.org

Closing the coverage gap is the single most important step we can take on the path to making health care affordable and accessible for all Americans. The House has already voted to close it. As the Senate finalizes a reconciliation bill, this must get done. — PolitiTweet.org

When we hear the story of the American Revolution, we don’t often learn of the Southern Campaign. Today, ahead of this week's House vote, I made the case for my Heritage Corridor bill, which will highlight Southern historic sites essential to our fight for independence. https://t.co/XpNnVbueOR — PolitiTweet.org

When I was elected president of my local @NAACP youth council at age 12, I never imagined I would one day earn their highest honor: the Spingarn Medal. I hope to live long enough and serve well enough to prove myself worthy of this prestigious honor. https://t.co/DHaBR5hdiO — PolitiTweet.org

I'm humbled to join the ranks of past Spingarn Medal recipients like Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, and my dear friend John Lewis.   I've received many recognitions in my life, but none measure up to this. Thank you for this honor, @NAACP. — PolitiTweet.org

205 House Republicans just voted to allow states to prosecute women for having an abortion in a state where it is legal. They want a national ban. We must stop them and restore the right of all women to make their own health care decisions. — PolitiTweet.org
