Our servicemen and women serve their nation with distinction, and it’s unacceptable that many have experienced delays in receiving their GI Bill benefits. I commend @VetAffairsDems for holding a hearing today on this important issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I thank my colleagues on @EnergyCommerce for holding another hearing on rising prescription drug costs. On the Floor, House Dems are taking up legislation this week and next to address the cost of prescription drugs, & we will continue to take action on this important issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Great to see @MachinistsUnion President Bob Martinez and representatives from MD Lodges last night on Capitol Hill during #IAMLegConf19. I look forward to our continued partnership to strengthen workers' rights and ensure working men and women can #MakeItInAmerica. https://t.co/DHbu8YuK5Q — PolitiTweet.org

In May, we celebrate National Asthma & Allergy Awareness Month. I’m proud that my bill – the School-Based Allergies & Asthma Management Program Act, which I introduced w @DrPhilRoe – is endorsed by groups leading the effort to address challenges associated w asthma & allergies. https://t.co/i36srnbds6 — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join the @BlkEconAlliance tonight to discuss how we can continue to expand economic opportunities for all Americans. I look forward to working with the Alliance and @OfficialCBC to ensure equal opportunity. https://t.co/0uEAFKqVHC — PolitiTweet.org

I join in celebrating Israel’s Independence Day, and I send the people of Israel my well wishes. As Israel continues to contend with terror, threats of destruction, and anti-Semitism, America stands shoulder-to-shoulder with our ally. https://t.co/n2sqzi8Kjz — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Iran continues to be a malign actor, & I am deeply concerned by the Trump Administration’s lack of a clear strategy. Congress must be briefed on any new actions Iran has taken to threaten the U.S. or our allies. https://t.co/duAzmnufOg — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Asthma affects the lives of over 7 million children across the country. The bipartisan School-Based Allergies and Asthma Management Program Act seeks to reduce the rates of absenteeism by equipping schools with the resources they need to help students in an emergency. https://t.co/zOraJfG4Od — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I thank @AllergyAsthmaHQ for their important advocacy work. I look forward to working together to advance my bipartisan School-Based Allergies & Asthma Management Program Act to provide peace of mind that students can attend school w/o worrying about their asthma or allergies. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today’s vote by the House Judiciary Committee to hold the Attorney General in contempt of Congress was the necessary consequence of this Administration’s unprecedented pattern of stonewalling and obstruction that is putting our very democracy at risk. https://t.co/34jHIJmcaj — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I'm saddened to learn of the passing of Robert Pear. I always appreciated his thoughtful & extensive reporting on health care. Robert knew health care policy inside & out, and the American people benefited from his reporting. My thoughts are with his family & @NYTimes colleagues. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Following passage of the Protecting Americans with Pre-Existing Conditions Act tomorrow, I will bring additional legislation to the Floor next week to increase access to affordable health care & lower prescription drug costs. https://t.co/FFaQgR37SL — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Unacceptable that @USDA is punishing career @USDA_ERS employees shedding light on the negative impact of the Trump Administration’s policies on farmers. The Administration’s disregard for career federal employees continues to be deeply alarming. https://t.co/pp9vfojoTO — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Pleased to meet w @GLGWUL & reps from the Greater Washington Urban League to discuss our shared commitment to ensuring all Americans have access to the ballot box. I thank them for the important work they do & look forward to working together to expand voting rights. https://t.co/EGUevXp5il — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

During #TeacherAppreciationWeek, I join in recognizing outstanding teachers in #MD05. Congrats to Heather Carnaghan, Willanette Thomas-Lohr, Brooke Shnipes, Samantha Bardoe, & Tracy Harding on their recognition by @WashingtonPost as 2019 Teacher of the Year Finalists. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I thank @WaysMeansCmte for holding a hearing today on this important issue. It’s unacceptable that the majority of families in our country don’t have access to #paidfamilyleave & Dems are working to ensure that Americans don’t have to choose between their family and their job. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Finally, I reminded reporters that the House passed a disaster relief bill in January that the Senate has failed to take up. This week, the House will vote again on a disaster relief bill. The Senate needs to act to provide assistance to our fellow Americans across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I also told reporters that the House will vote on a package of bills next week to make quality health care more affordable & lower the cost of prescription drugs. We will continue to deliver on our #ForThePeople agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

At my weekly press conf, I said the Trump Admin has made every effort to sabotage the #ACA. The House will vote this week to block the Administration from sabotaging the law and putting health coverage for Americans with pre-existing conditions at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

As the Trump Admin attacks millions of Americans’ health care, the House will vote this week to reverse the Admin’s #ACA sabotage, protect Americans w pre-existing conditions, & start to address the rising cost of prescription drug prices. #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/k18UJQ5EEW https://t.co/K3Bd5asAf0 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Glad that @HomelandDems and @BennieGThompson are holding a hearing today on domestic terrorism and the importance of intelligence & analysis by @DHSgov to prevent it. We must do more to meet this alarming and rising threat. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The House has passed bipartisan legislation to expand background checks, and I continue to urge the Senate to take up and pass this bill and send it to the President’s desk. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I extend my deepest condolences to the students, teachers, & families of STEM School Highlands Ranch in CO & thank first responders on the scene yesterday. No student should have to fear for his or her life in the classroom. Congress must act to #EndGunViolence. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Last month, I joined @RepAdams & @RepUnderwood as they launched the Black Maternal Health Caucus to highlight the disparities in maternal health & address the shortfalls in care provided to African American mothers. We’ll continue to work to address this issue in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

New reports on maternal mortality are extremely alarming. It’s inconceivable that American women are at a higher risk of pregnancy-related deaths than their own mothers, & that African American women are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. https://t.co/XQBlXC2y0N — PolitiTweet.org

.@NRA President Carolyn Meadows’ recent comments are reprehensible. @RepLucyMcBath is an outstanding Member and strong advocate for #GA06 families. The House Democratic Caucus is fortunate to have her important voice in our Caucus. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Thanks to my friend @iamdelmancoates for joining me for lunch today in the Capitol to discuss how we can continue to work together to improve the lives of families in #MD05. I am grateful for his friendship and leadership in our community. https://t.co/JQVl40mikx — PolitiTweet.org
