Yesterday, the House voted to replace the bust of former Chief Justice Roger B. Taney with one of Justice Thurgood Marshall, and I urge the Senate to take up this bill. This isn’t a partisan issue. It is about honoring those who stood up for justice and equality. #RemoveHate https://t.co/IxKzWRMieI — PolitiTweet.org

I mourn the loss of yet another civil rights leader and fighter for justice. Charles Evers, like his brother Medgar, was a champion for voting rights and equality for all. I send my deepest condolences to his family. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I strongly support Chairman @RepAdamSchiff's request following reports that @DHSgov may be engaging in unprecedented, expanded intelligence. Domestic surveillance & the deployment of heavily armed, anonymous federal law enforcement are tactics used by dictators, not democracies. — PolitiTweet.org

John Lewis made a personal difference in my life and the life of millions of other people who may not even know the name of John Lewis. He enriched their lives. He made them freer. He made their country better. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

God blessed each of us with giving to John Lewis health for eight decades. He used that health and strength, mind and body to serve his God, his faith, his country, and his people. He was the most Christ-like person I have ever met, and he represented the best of humanity. https://t.co/PROHjaiwfN — PolitiTweet.org

The House just passed a bill to remove shameful reminders of slavery, segregation, and sedition from the U.S. Capitol. This is a long-overdue measure, but it is never too late to do the right thing. I urge the Senate to take up and pass this bill to #RemoveHate. https://t.co/DXqOg60yMI — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing my friend @JohnLarsonCT a happy birthday today. Thank you for your dedication to supporting Connecticut's working families, strengthening manufacturing, and ensuring retirement security in your work on @WaysMeansCmte. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today, the House passed the Access to Counsel Act. Under our Bill of Rights, access to legal counsel is recognized as a fundamental right, and this bill will ensure that this right is protected. I thank @RepPramilaJayapal for her leadership on this issue. https://t.co/XqkH2UQKuW — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today, I brought the #NOBAN Act to the Floor to repeal Trump's harmful, discriminatory Muslim ban. I thank @RepJudyChu, @RashidaTlaib, & others who led the charge to pass this bill. Now that it has passed the House, I strongly urge the Senate to take up. https://t.co/wTgCoj9Ooj — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

As we approach the Americans with Disabilities Act anniversary, it was great to join a panel discussion hosted by @PattyMurray and @SenBobCasey to discuss passage of the #ADA nearly 30 years ago and our ongoing work in the fight for full equality and inclusion. https://t.co/LPt4LucUg0 — PolitiTweet.org

The bust of Justice Taney – a Marylander who wrote the Dred Scott decision that upheld slavery – should not be on display in the Capitol. Today, the House is voting on my bill to replace Taney’s bust w/ one of Justice Thurgood Marshall. #RemoveHate https://t.co/wfCpIpKukX — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

This headline says it all: it's insane to allow nutrition assistance for children to expire. Dems passed the #HeroesAct to extend this assistance, and Republicans must work with us to ensure children across the country don't go hungry. https://t.co/b4OJ80jolP — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

This comment is deeply disturbing. Why isn’t the President speaking out for victims of child abuse and sex trafficking? What message was he sending to Maxwell? — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The House will vote today to remove statues of white supremacists, Confederates, and segregationists from the Capitol building and send a message that we do not glorify racism, bigotry, and exclusion in this temple to liberty. #RemoveHate https://t.co/9ahFUNbclm — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

We must honor those who speak for freedom, liberty, justice, & equality; not those who spoke for slavery & segregation. We will vote today to replace the bust of Justice Taney & remove Confederate statues in the U.S. Capitol. #RemoveHate https://t.co/KVoeyuaLeh — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

#PaidSickLeave continues to be a priority for House Dems, & this crisis has made the need for it that much more apparent. We acted to provide paid sick leave for workers affected by the coronavirus, but this report by @JECDems shows how more must be done. https://t.co/MxVW8YQorI — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Thanks to House sponsors of the Great American Outdoors Act – @RepCunningham, @RepTjCox, @RepKendraHorn, @RepGolden, @RepSherrill, and @RepTorresSmall – for their leadership to #FundLWCF. I’m proud to bring it to the Floor today and look forward to passage. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Millions of families are struggling with child care challenges during this pandemic, and families of color have been the hardest hit. We must address this crisis, and the House will act next week to do so. https://t.co/zlfPYxkhSV — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

GOP divisions are nothing new, but we are facing the deepest public health and economic crisis that any of us have ever witnessed. They need to put #FamiliesFirst and work with Democrats to provide the essential resources we passed in the #HeroesAct. https://t.co/n8WstUQcot — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I thank @RepRaulGrijalva, @RepCunningham, @RepTjCox, @RepKendraHorn, @RepGolden, @RepSherrill, and @RepTorresSmall, and many others for their work and leadership to #FundLWCF. This legislation will conserve our #publiclands for the enjoyment of generations to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I worked hard to protect the viewshed of George Washington’s Mt. Vernon site through the creation of Piscataway Park as well as establish the Patuxent Research Refuge and protect Douglas Point in Nanjemoy and other sites throughout the state. The #LWCF made all of that possible. https://t.co/b4tAvlBY5y — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Last year, when we enacted a permanent reauthorization of the #LWCF, we made it clear that doing so was only the first in a two-step process. The second step was permanent funding. That’s what this bill today will achieve. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

John Lewis understood that conserving America’s great outdoors and public spaces went part in parcel with protecting the legacy of civil rights. Using the #LWCF, John was instrumental in protecting the childhood home, neighborhood, & church of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I have been a long-time supporter of the #LWCF to preserve our most treasured landscapes and historic places. Today, the House will pass a bill named for our beloved John Lewis to permanently #fundLWCF and help address the maintenance backlog in protecting iconic national parks. https://t.co/fu2xdtVrIt — PolitiTweet.org
