Harriet Tubman’s portrait hangs in my office, and I look forward to seeing the story of an outstanding and inspirational Marylander come to life on the big screen. Her life and legacy is an inspiration to us all, and I continue to call on @POTUS to put her on the #New20. — PolitiTweet.org

We continue to grieve the loss of John, but I look forward to reading The Capital of Basketball when it is published this fall. I commend Andrea for her tireless advocacy and commitment to ending gun violence in our communities. https://t.co/lmQPbSMuzj — PolitiTweet.org

The budget agreement announced last night is a direct result of a Dem-led House getting its work done. We will act to ensure that America pays its bills on time & to avoid another damaging shutdown. I congratulate @SpeakerPelosi on securing this agreement. https://t.co/nYdfCETOf8 — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing my good friend, @WhipClyburn, a happy birthday today. Since our days as Young Democrats, you’ve been an outstanding leader in our party. Our Caucus is grateful for your leadership as Whip, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention you throw a great fish fry each year! — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the men and women of @NASA, many of whom I am proud to represent at the @NASAGoddard, look beyond the moon & their sights are set on the next frontier. Humankind’s quest for understanding and achievement will surely continue to advance, driven by these talented Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

50 years ago, we witnessed the culmination of President Kennedy’s call to muster all the might of American science & courage to push beyond a new frontier. With Armstrong’s small step, every border & difference on Earth disappeared & we were one humankind. https://t.co/99naMvVcyR https://t.co/Sge4rK1ZqH — PolitiTweet.org

#OTD the @SpecialOlympics held its first summer games. I’ve always been inspired by the joy of those participating & by the motto: "let me win, but if I can't win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Have you attended? Reply w your #SpecialOlympics story. https://t.co/f0kYBHlZe6 — PolitiTweet.org

House Dems have taken action to protect our democracy: passing #HR1, the SAFE Act, & a funding bill that invests in election security. @senatemajldr & @POTUS have done nothing. Their inaction puts our democracy at grave risk. #HoyerHeadlines https://t.co/u9myupV8kZ — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

As we celebrate #Apollo50th, I am reminded of how the American people came together to do what is hard, to do what had never been done. I hope we’ll continue to be inspired by that accomplishment 50 years ago to achieve what hasn’t been done before. What a wonderful anniversary. https://t.co/jt34KQ8soW — PolitiTweet.org

When I visited Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was in prison for 25 years, I was inspired by his ability to keep the faith. On #MandelaDay, I continue to be inspired by his legacy of rising above impossible odds and overcoming adversity. https://t.co/jdqEc01Fcc — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

On #MandelaDay, we celebrate the courage and determination of Nelson Mandela. When I met him, he was so gracious and exuded an inner strength, an inner peace, & an inner conviction. Let us continue his legacy of confronting racism, intolerance, and inequality wherever they exist. https://t.co/66D0Aj217b — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I spoke on the House Floor to honor Betsy Bossart, who tirelessly and selflessly served the people of #MD05 as my District Director for 30 years. Betsy has spent every single day of her many years of service making sure that our District always comes first. https://t.co/m3xaXAbS5Y — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

On the House Floor, I urged my colleagues to vote for the #RaiseTheWage Act because we need to raise wages for working people & our middle class. We must make certain that wages keep pace with the cost of living & the value of the labor that our people contribute to the economy. https://t.co/WeyGJBTCeq — PolitiTweet.org

As we celebrate #Apollo50th, #TBT to the time when @NASA let me test out a spacesuit. I didn’t make the cut to be an astronaut, but it wasn’t for lack of trying! https://t.co/VHPpVKt8aP — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The racist and inflammatory chants at @realDonaldTrump’s campaign rally last night aimed at @Ilhan have no place in America and our democracy. His dangerous rhetoric aims to divide and distract from his failed agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I join in congratulating North Point HS graduate and #MD05 resident Asante Blackk on his Emmy nomination for When They See Us. Your work shines light on an important story, and we’re so proud of you. I’ll be rooting for you in September! https://t.co/2fcFT5ajQ1 — PolitiTweet.org
