Although Bernie was not able to see his vision of a restored Patuxent and Chesapeake fully realized in his lifetime, he knew that future generations would be able to do so. Someday we will stand in the river up to our chins knowing that Bernie is smiling down on us. — PolitiTweet.org

I had the honor of remembering my dear friend and mentor Senator Bernie Fowler at his memorial service yesterday, which celebrated his life and legacy. I admired his humility, generosity, and relentless commitment to conservation. https://t.co/51eV3xLLpH — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to join @FitzFox5DC on @fox5dc this morning to talk about critical issues front and center for families in #MD05, including House Democrats’ work to #EndGunViolence and keep kids safe, & our efforts in Congress to address inflation. https://t.co/Sm88H0KZde — PolitiTweet.org

I’m joining @TheSundayShow with @CapehartJ this morning to discuss House Democrats’ work to #EndGunViolence and the @January6Cmte's work to tell the American people the truth about the attack on the Capitol. Watch live here: https://t.co/HvkRs45Gzn — PolitiTweet.org

As we mark nearly 60 years of the #EqualPayAct today, I am reflecting on the legacy of this landmark law in promoting gender pay equity in the workplace. I remain committed to continuing the work to close the wage gap through the House-passed #PaycheckFairnessAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Our nation is looking to the Senate to find the common ground necessary to make broadly supported reforms.  I urge them to find that common ground quickly.  Enough is enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

MD has seen its share of gun violence, just like every state of our union, because our gun laws are inadequate. Our people are asking Congress to keep our communities safe. House-passed legislation to address gun violence, including the #ProtectingOurKidsAct, will save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I was devastated today to learn of yet another deadly mass shooting, this time in my home state of Maryland. I am praying for the victims and thankful for the first responders at the scene in #Smithsburg. Marylanders and all Americans are clamoring for change. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Tonight’s public hearing from the @January6thCmte will help inform the American people about the truth of what happened during the attack on the Capitol. I thank my colleagues for their critically important work in defense of democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Rep. Gaetz’ comments about our colleague @RepRaskin & his family are morally reprehensible & beneath his office. My friend Rep. Raskin is a devoted father, public servant, & patriot who has worked tirelessly to uphold democracy. We would all do well to learn from his example. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I was honored to be the keynote speaker at last night’s Danish Constitution Day celebration and join @DKambUSA at the Danish Embassy to pay tribute to the Danish and American servicemembers who have worked together in defense of global democracy. https://t.co/kR1wwlkx2P — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

As Majority Leader, I was glad to bring two historic measures that will help #EndGunViolence to the House Floor this week. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to take up this legislation as soon as possible to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I joined @jimsciutto on @CNNNewsroom to discuss Congressional Republicans’ unwillingness to join with Democrats to pass commonsense gun violence prevention legislation to save lives & tonight’s public hearing from the @January6thCmte. https://t.co/AiAJyqVlEk — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

This legislation was born from the courage of @RepLucyMcBath and @RepCarbajal, who each suffered terrible personal loss as a result of gun violence. They had the courage to turn their grief into positive action in order to prevent others from having to endure the same pain. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I was proud to bring the Federal Extreme Risk Protection Act to the House Floor today, which would empower families and law enforcement to prevent those known to be a threat to themselves or others from legally obtaining a deadly firearm. https://t.co/isAopBZ2MK — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

On @Morning_Joe earlier today, I said that House Dems continue to show our commitment to passing commonsense measures to address gun violence & that tonight’s @January6thCmte hearing will show Americans the truth of that terrible day. https://t.co/LGAXYEPyd1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to join in recognizing Senator Barbara Mikulski as the “Dean of the Women Senators” & applaud the new Senate room dedicated in her honor. My friend Barbara proudly served MD in the Senate for years & I'm glad she is the first woman to have a room named after her in Congress. https://t.co/thStwg3ElP — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

.@RepTedDeutch has been a committed advocate to #EndGunViolence and a strong supporter of the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in #FL22. I was glad to support his Keep Americans Safe Act, which would ban high-capacity magazines to make our communities safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

In 2017, a shooter used bump stock devices to shoot over 1,000 bullets into a Las Vegas crowd, killing 60 people & wounding 411. Today, the House voted to pass the Closing the Bump Stock Loophole Act, introduced by Las Vegas’ @RepDinaTitus, as part of the #ProtectingOurKidsAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Ensuring safe storage of firearms will save lives. I was glad to support Title 4 of the #ProtectOurKidsAct, which includes safe storage provisions championed by @RepSlotkin, @RosaDeLauro, and @JacksonLeeTX18 and passed the House 220-205. — PolitiTweet.org

The House just passed the third title of the #ProtectingOurKidsAct, which closes the ghost gun loophole to prevent untraceable firearms from reaching communities. I’m grateful to @RepCicilline & @RepEspaillat for their leadership on this issue & resolve to build a safer America. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

.@RepRobinKelly has been a powerful voice in the work to #StopGunViolence in Chicago and communities across America. Her bill to prevent gun trafficking and keep firearms out of illegal markets just passed the House 226-197 as part of the #ProtectingOurKidsAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The House just passed the first title of the #ProtectingOurKidsAct, which would raise the minimum age to purchase semi-automatic centerfire rifles and shotguns from 18 to 21, a proposal supported by 72% of Americans. Thank you to @RepAnthonyBrown for his work on this priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

This is the People’s House, & as we mourn the victims of gun violence, the people are speaking to us & crying out for action. I urge my colleagues to vote yes on the #ProtectingOurKidsAct to address the gun violence epidemic & save lives. https://t.co/ZeqTAqHDAT — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

America does not belong to one group or another. It is time to stop hateful, bigoted ideologies that are used to justify violence and exclusion against others. I was glad to support this resolution on the Floor today. — PolitiTweet.org
