My colleagues and I appreciate the great work by the men and women responding to the sewage spill into the Potomac River, but we remain deeply concerned about its public health & environmental impacts. We call on DC Water to commit to public transparency as the response & recovery efforts continue.

Millions of Americans are being forced to choose between paying for their health care premiums or putting food on the table as the Republican Cost of Living Crisis rages on. House Democrats call on the Senate to act now to restore these tax credits and lower health care costs.

I've always said that it's dangerous to rely on the unreliable. Sadly, Donald Trump has made America look unreliable in the eyes of the world. That endangers our country, alienates our allies, and emboldens our adversaries. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Trump's reckless tariffs have dramatically increased prices and uncertainty for hardworking American families. That's why House Dems forced a successful vote to remove Trump's tariffs on Canada. We remain committed to lowering costs for all.

Republicans are pushing a federal takeover of state & local elections to rig the system & block millions of eligible voters from participating in our democracy. I urge my Senate colleagues to stand against this blatant attempt at voter suppression to ensure all Americans can make their voices heard.

The antisemitic graffiti on the Shaare Tefila synagogue is reminiscent of the prejudice Jews have endured for millennia. I wholly condemn this sickening vandalism.

Despite modest job growth in January, 500,000 more Americans were unemployed last month than when Trump's second term began. Meanwhile, he has profited billions of dollars off the presidency. No wonder 40% of Americans believe their lives will get worse in the next five years.

Honored to join a screening of Children in the Fire, a compelling film about Ukrainian children whose peaceful, safe childhood was ripped from them by Russia’s 2022 invasion. I thank them for sharing their stories & reminding Congress & the world what is at stake if we don't stand up against Putin.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govFeb 10(source)
