The individuals we honor in the Capitol should represent our highest ideals – not our worst. The House will vote today on my bill to replace the bust of Justice Taney w/ one of Justice Marshall & remove reminders of slavery & segregation. #RemoveHate https://t.co/xJy467EKIj https://t.co/lfExxcFu2A — PolitiTweet.org

I urge you to visit https://t.co/rQVkZpc27j where you can learn about the #GeorgeFloyd #JusticeInPolicing Act, become a citizen co-sponsor, weigh in with your comment. As we continue to urge Senate action on this bill, I will be sharing your names and stories with my colleagues. — PolitiTweet.org

One person from Iowa posted about being a lifelong Republican who is tired of her party’s failure to tackle police misconduct and systemic racism in our country. That person is right. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Another person wrote about how her elderly parents were pulled over in Oklahoma because the officer couldn’t believe that her African American father was married to her white mother, both in their eighties. That was just three years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

One woman in my district wrote that as the mother of two young black men, she worries every day about them encountering the police. That isn’t good for families or our country. — PolitiTweet.org

It has now been nearly four weeks since the House passed the #GeorgeFloyd #JusticeInPolicing Act. Leader McConnell and the Republican-led Senate refuse to call it up for vote. Meanwhile, the problem of racial injustice is not going away on its own. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Thousands of Americans from nearly every state have visited https://t.co/Qbzv0hzwOS to learn about the #GeorgeFloyd #JusticeInPolicing Act, and many have shared wrenching stories about why we need to pass this bill. I shared some of them on the House Floor today. https://t.co/mNGrI99bc3 — PolitiTweet.org

Coronavirus deaths rose by more than 1,000 yesterday, the biggest single-day increase since early June. This crisis isn't going away; it's getting worse. Republicans must work with Dems to provide Americans w/ the resources we included in the #HeroesAct. https://t.co/Ucd18zJhG7 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Thanks for your leadership on this issue @RepRaulGrijalva. We've worked on this issue for many years, and I am pleased to bring this bill to the Floor today to permanently #FundLWCF. I hope it passes with strong, bipartisan support. — PolitiTweet.org

We are approaching 4 weeks since the House passed the #GeorgeFloyd #JusticeinPolicing Act, and the Senate still hasn’t acted.

Happy birthday to my dear friend and colleague @WhipClyburn. Thanks for always being a fighter for freedom, justice, and equality. I’m so proud to be your friend and serve with you in Congress, and our Caucus is grateful for your leadership. https://t.co/8D2HX3OYxq — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

As today’s editorial points out, House Dems, backed by experts, proposed $3.6 billion for elections in the #HeroesAct. I join in urging Senate Republicans to make this a priority. We cannot allow our democracy to become a victim of this pandemic. https://t.co/mvFAnUZAX8 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

People of color have died at higher rates than white Americans in nearly every state. The Senate should pass the #HeroesAct to deliver resources to hard-hit minority communities & House Dems' ACA bill to address long-standing racial health inequities. https://t.co/LHQ4vu5N7T — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Trump’s failure to deliver critical personal protective equipment to our communities is a disgrace. We need to ensure frontline workers have PPE to stay safe. POTUS should use the full power of the Defense Production Act immediately. #FamiliesFirst — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

In deploying federal law enforcement to patrol American cities and silence those exercising their First Amendment rights, Trump is drawing from the playbook of the worst dictators of the past century. As a nation, we must reject such tactics emphatically. https://t.co/Aq1XufkIYk — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's memorandum calling for the exclusion of undocumented immigrants from the 2020 Census is reprehensible. I urge him to reverse the order. House Democrats will do everything in our power to stop the President from interfering in the 2020 Census. https://t.co/UWkwflCNyR — PolitiTweet.org

Lastly, I told press the GOP must work with us to pass additional coronavirus legislation soon. UI, resources for state & local governments to keep teachers and other workers on the payroll, & funding for testing, tracing, & treatment are all essential to respond to this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I also told press the House will address a number of priorities #ForThePeople this week, including a bipartisan NDAA, the No Ban Act, the Access to Counsel Act, the Great American Outdoors Act, legislation to #RemoveHate from the Capitol building, and funding bills. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

At my weekly press conference today, I spoke of my dear friend John Lewis. He was one of the most Christ-like figures I’ve ever met, and I miss him dearly. There is no greater way to remember his life than to strengthen voting rights in his honor. — PolitiTweet.org
