“President Trump has made it clear over and over again that he has no respect for the rule of law.
With so many Americans staying in their homes during this pandemic, it is more critical than ever that Members keep in close contact with their constituents online,” said Leader Hoyer. “Social networks are a powerful way to facilitate that communication and increase transparency in Congress.
Today, the Supreme Court reaffirmed that the President of the United States is not above the law but subject to it, that state prosecutors can seek and obtain his financial records to check for wrongdoing, and that Congress's oversight authority is a broad and essential legislative power under the Constitution.
Lt. Col. Vindman has been a decorated soldier and a dedicated patriot. His courage extended from the dusty highways of Iraq to the stately committee rooms of Congress. When it mattered most, he bravely told the truth, and now President Trump is doing to him what he has done to so many before who have demonstrated such courage and convictions.
The President is urging that we go back to school. I think most Americans want their kids to get back to school, but they want them to go back safely, and they don't want them to be bringing COVID-19 back to the homes.

With 3 million confirmed cases in the United States, no one – not even President Trump – can deny that our country is experiencing an unprecedented public health crisis, one that has already taken the lives of over 133,000 of our fellow Americans and which threatens the lives and livelihoods of so many more.
Like many others, I was very disappointed to learn of the Supreme Court’s decision this morning upholding President Trump’s rule allowing more employers to opt out of the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) mandate guaranteeing contraceptive services at no cost to women for moral or religious reasons.
Today, House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD) sent a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg urging the company to do more to prevent the spread of racism, disinformation, and other divisive content on the company’s platform.
To withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) at the height of a global pandemic that has already killed more than 133,000 Americans is self-defeating and dangerous. Not only will this withdrawal hurt global efforts to develop and deploy critical vaccines, but it will also remove our ability to have a say in the operations and future of that organization, yielding much influence to China.
