Extremely disappointed @POTUS has vetoed resolutions to disapprove of arm sales to Saudi Arabia. The Administration’s disregard for the role of Congress & refusal to work to end the humanitarian crisis in Yemen is alarming & a violation of our checks & balances. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks 10 years since the last federal minimum wage increase. Another increase is long overdue, which is why House Dems passed the #RaiseTheWage Act last week to gradually increase the minimum wage to $15/hour. I urge @senatemajldr to take up and pass it now. — PolitiTweet.org

Sunday marked 200 days of a Democratic Majority in the House of Representatives, and in that time, Democrats have made significant progress on behalf of the American people. Take a look at how Democrats have delivered #ForThePeople: https://t.co/ZtCGKGf0Fn https://t.co/VNmYVupiOg — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday to my friend, @RepCharlieCrist. Thanks for your work to crack down on unwanted robocalls. I’m glad your bill was included in the #StopBadRobocalls Act that the House just passed. Your constituents are fortunate to have a strong advocate in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Happy birthday to new Member, @RepRashida, who works tirelessly on behalf of #MI13. We thank you for your work to address the #ClimateCrisis as Vice Chair of @OversightDems Subcommittee on the Environment and for your work on @FSCDems. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Too often, Americans are harassed by unwanted robocalls. Today, House Dems did something about it. I was proud to bring the Stopping Bad Robocalls Act to the Floor, where it passed with bipartisan support. I thank @FrankPallone & @EnergyCommerce for their leadership on this. https://t.co/hnHyAjD5e6 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Great to meet w @UMDSGA @irelandlesley5 & @SamayKindra to discuss how Dems are working to address the cost of higher ed. I know how hard SGA works to represent students at @UofMaryland, & I thank them for their commitment to ensuring all voices are heard. https://t.co/OnETSHeVm3 https://t.co/2juuhzE69p — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the House will pass legislation that prevents workers from losing their multiemployer pension plan benefits. The #ButchLewisAct will provide certainty to 1.3 million Americans, including hundreds in MD, who are at risk of losing benefits through no fault of their own. https://t.co/rIEJf8vcmR — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The President has also insisted that the Mueller report did not find evidence of obstruction of justice. Today, Special Counsel Mueller also confirmed that’s simply not true. https://t.co/yOBf5pqJyN — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Special Counsel Mueller made clear that the President is not exonerated, despite the President’s insistence that he is. House Democrats will continue to follow the facts. #MuellerReport https://t.co/foRntSLlta — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Special Counsel Mueller’s testimony before @HouseJudiciary has highlighted a number of key facts, including that Russia interfered in our election in a “sweeping and systematic fashion.” It is shameful that Republicans are refusing to focus on this threat to our democracy. https://t.co/PhMvtXSEwk — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today I paid tribute to #MD05 constituent Officer Jacob Chestnut and Detective John Gibson, who lost their lives protecting the Capitol 21 years ago today. My thoughts remain with their families and friends as we honor their sacrifice. Watch my remarks on the Floor here: https://t.co/1wYUiRpFVk — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Lastly, I told the press today that in the first 200 days of the Dem Majority, we have been working #ForthePeople. We have passed bills to lower health care costs and bring down prescription drug prices, raise wages, and clean up corruption in Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

At my press conference, I said that we will vote on the bipartisan budget agreement that @SpeakerPelosi and @stevenmnuchin1 reached on Thursday. This is a good compromise that we were able to reach because the House got its work done early. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today, at my weekly press conference, I told reporters that I want to hear the truth from Special Counsel Mueller today. We have a responsibility to protect our nation’s elections from Russian interference, understand what happened in 2016, and prevent it from happening again. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Congressional oversight depends on the ability of committees to hear witness testimony without obstruction or obfuscation. I want to hear the full truth from Special Counsel Mueller today – not whatever the @TheJusticeDept wants the public to hear. https://t.co/aMJsBXbio0 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

One of the proudest moments of my life was when I stood nearby President George H.W. Bush when he signed the ADA into law 29 years ago, & I will continue to work with AAPD to fight for access, equality, and full inclusion for every single American, regardless of physical ability. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Proud to speak at @AAPD’s #ADA celebration tonight & thank CEO & President Helena Berger who is retiring & has been a tremendous advocate for people with disabilities. I also joined in congratulating Maria Town as she prepares to succeed Helena. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

It’s inappropriate for the @TheJusticeDept & Trump White House to try and restrict the Special Counsel's testimony tomorrow. Congress must - and will - carry out its important oversight & demand transparency & accountability #ForThePeople. https://t.co/aMJsBWTGZq — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I started my career in public service as an intern, and I was pleased to speak at Capitol Hill’s Intern Lecture Series today. Congressional offices couldn’t run without interns, and I thank them for helping Congress carry out its important work on behalf of the American people. https://t.co/XT2E8chk9P — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I also congratulate @RepPressley, @RepRashida, @AOC, & @JoaquinCastroTX for finishing in the top 5 of House Dems’ Online All-Star Competition. Members and their staffs worked hard to reach and engage with millions of Americans & get our message out. I’m so proud of their efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Pleased to announce this year’s Online All-Stars, who led House Dems in acquiring 1.7 million followers on social media in 3 weeks. Congrats to @Ilhan on being the first new Member in the contest’s 10-year history to win Overall MVP & Freshman MVP awards! https://t.co/dcUUpm1cHU — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I was saddened to learn of the passing of former Calvert County Commissioner Barbara Stinnett, who selflessly served the people of Calvert and the state for many years. My thoughts are with the entire Stinnett family during this difficult time. https://t.co/9fsWfkaYUs — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

.@USDA’s restrictions on eligibility for nutrition assistance puts 3 million Americans at risk of going hungry. The Admin wants to trap families in poverty instead of helping them succeed. House Dems will continue working to help families get ahead. https://t.co/u7FVvzsOob — PolitiTweet.org
