On Memorial Day, @crow.house.gov encourages all Americans to recognize and honor the sacrifice of the men and women who fought and died for our country and all it represents.

This #MemorialDay, I join to honor the courageous service members who gave their lives to protect their fellow Americans & preserve the Republic. Let us continue to tend to & stand up for our veterans, democracy, & military families with the same devotion displayed by the heroes we honor today.

Hoyer Statement on Memorial Day

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement today in recognition of Memorial Day:

House Republicans forced through legislation that makes health care unaffordable for millions. As Trump's reckless tariffs raise costs, the number of uninsured Americans will rise too. Democrats will keep opposing these efforts to jeopardize Americans’ health care and raise costs.

House Democrats spent all night on the House Floor fighting against the GOP Tax Scam that takes away health care and school meals from Americans to give billionaires and big corporations a tax break. @sarajacobs.house.gov breaks down what this bill means in today’s Democratic Daily Download.

Trump's acceptance of a luxury jet from Qatar is an abuse of power, violates our Constitution, defies our laws, and undermines our national security. Once again, Trump shows that he views the presidency as a tool to enrich himself, his family, and friends.

Republicans betrayed the American people by passing this abhorrent legislation. They voted to take health care from 13.7 million people, and they have the audacity to call it "beautiful." What a sad day.

Hoyer: This Bill is One Big Backbreaking Burden on Working Americans

Adding $3.3 trillion in debt over ten years is not fiscal responsibility. Giving tax breaks to the wealthy while cutting Medicaid is not fiscal responsibility. The GOP Tax Scam is not sound fiscal policy.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govMay 22(source)

Republicans began marking up their tax scam at 1 AM. They are now voting to send it to the Floor at 11 PM — all without seeing the light of day. This bill will cut health care for nearly 14 million Americans, decimate SNAP, and explode the deficit. It's a sad day for America.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govMay 22(source)

Donald Trump & GOP leaders are trying to cut health care for almost 14 million people with their tax scam. Here's more from my conversation on the Julie Mason Show about the consequences of this irresponsible policy. www.siriusxm.com/clips/clip/f...

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my dear friend, Gerry Connolly. A fierce advocate for #VA11, federal employees, & millions around the world, he lived a remarkable life of service. It was an honor to serve with Gerry, & I pray for his family as they grieve this terrible loss – America’s loss.

The Federal Communications Commission was established to act in the public's interest, not in the Trump Administration's. I'll keep working to ensure the FCC remains focused on helping Americans access internet & communication technologies and continues to protect them from potential perils.

I am concerned that the FCC is weaponizing its authority, attacking the press & first amendment, and is distracted from its mission to keep Americans connected. Join @democrats-appropriations.house.gov now as we ensure the FCC continues protecting our rights to free speech and press.

Dismantling @usedgov.bsky.social would put millions of students at an immense disadvantage and their future in jeopardy. Join me and @democrats-appropriations.house.gov at 10:00 a.m. as we seek answers from Secretary McMahon on how the Trump Administration plans to support our children's success.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govMay 20(source)

Our federal employees continue to show up for democracy and the services the American people rely on. They work for America and deserve better than villanization & being put in "trauma.” I stand with federal employees as we combat Trump, Vought, and Musk's illegal attacks on the federal workforce.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govMay 20(source)

The SEC ought to address mistrust and fraud in markets by improving enforcement, not by firing federal employees who identify practices that harm the American people. Democrats will keep working to ensure the SEC can protect investors to rebuild confidence in the market.

House Republicans are so ashamed of the GOP Tax Scam that they are planning a 1 AM committee meeting tonight to jam it through Congress. In today's Democratic Daily Download, @repmcgovern.bsky.social breaks down what's in this ugly bill and what Democrats are doing to stop it.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govMay 20(source)

Cuts at the SEC weakens its ability to go after corruption & enforce laws, which may have implications for Trump's business ventures. Watch now as @democrats-appropriations.house.gov verify that the SEC has the tools to ensure the market is orderly and fair for all Americans.
