At a time when electricity bills and grocery prices are already sky high, it is crucial that Americans can afford the care they need. If Republicans don't extend cost-saving ACA tax credits, hardworking families will be forced to go uninsured or make incredibly tough choices just to make ends meet.
Great to join @elfreth.house.gov to meet with officials at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Indian Head, MD to discuss strategy to support NSWC's mission to enhance our national security. I remain committed to our work to strengthen the facility and ensure it continues to thrive into the future.
After the 2000 presidential election, I worked to pass the Help America Vote Act in order to restore confidence in our voting system. I'm proud to continue that critical work today. Tune in at 4:30 as I discuss how building on the legacy of HAVA will ensure a stronger democracy in years to come:
Reposted byRep. Steny Hoyer
Thank you @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social, @hoyer.house.gov, and @vanhollen.senate.gov for joining our Civil Service Strong community last week, alongside national leaders, former federal workers, and public service experts committed to fighting for the future of our democracy.
As we stood together to reflect on the past two grueling years, I remained in awe of the remarkable strength demonstrated by the families of Americans Itay Chen & Omer Neutra, who were horrifically taken captive and murdered by Hamas on Oct. 7.
At a time when Americans are worried about rising costs, we ought to help them save time & money while filing taxes. I was glad to join @urbaninstitute.bsky.social to discuss Direct File's impact & will keep working with Comptroller @brookelierman.bsky.social to improve the taxpayer experience.
Today I join to wish everyone in #MD05 and beyond a Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful for my family and the honor of serving Marylanders and the American people. I wish all who celebrate a joyous and reflective holiday with your loved ones.
A man of immense character, the passing of Mark Mellman is a tremendous loss for the Jewish community, the Democratic Party, and our nation. My prayers are with his wife Mindy and the rest of his family. May his memory be a blessing. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
The Maryland Delegation & I are proud to announce $60M for WMATA's bus transit & to support a new transit maintenance & operations facility in MD-05's Charles County. Team Maryland will continue to invest in public transportation to support our communities & keep our region’s economy moving forward.
My friend @velazquez.house.gov’s impact extends beyond Congress to the #NY07 community & our nation. It’s been an honor to work with her to advance a sensible solution to the perennial question facing Puerto Rico: its political status. I look forward to our work together in the months to come.
The September Jobs Report — which was released 7 weeks late due to the Republican shutdown — does little to dispel the job market's weak showing this past summer. Trump's policies continue to diminish job creation, increase costs for working families, and generate economic uncertainty.
Republican leadership made many attempts to quash our efforts, but the survivors of Epstein's sex crimes deserve justice & the public deserves the truth. I am deeply moved by the strength of the survivors, & I will continue to stand with them as we call on the Admin to release the Epstein Files.
At the core of this Republican shutdown was the false premise that Congress could either reopen the government or provide for the health of the American people. Instead, the GOP told the American people: you’re on your own. Read my full statement: hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
We owe our freedom, security, and all the opportunities our democracy offers to the men & women who risked their lives on our nation's behalf. On Veterans Day & every day, let us salute their bravery and honor their courage with our work to take care of them long after their service to our country.
During the most turbulent times, every American must be able to access critical information from the government. I applaud Judge Ali's order for the White House to implement this very reasonable accommodation. We must keep working to ensure every aspect of life is inclusive & accessible for all.
