Thank you to all who joined the 45th Annual Service Academies & College ROTC Showcase.

A Holocaust survivor, Abe dedicated his life to eradicating antisemitism and defending Jewish people globally. Let us honor his legacy by carrying on this critical work. May his memory be a blessing.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.gov20h ago(source)

I join the Jewish community in America, Israel, and around the world in mourning Abe Foxman, who led ADL with wisdom and courage for decades.

While last month saw modest job growth, the data does little to dispel the economic uncertainty Americans have felt since Trump took office. By working to fund the President's vanity projects instead of lowering gas, grocery, and utility costs, Republicans are once again saying ‘You’re On Your Own.’

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govMay 5(source)

On February 11th, Ranking Member @delauro.house.gov and I introduced a bill that would fund the law-abiding agencies within the Department of Homeland Security, excluding ICE and CBP. The House passed legislation that does exactly that – 78 days later.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govMay 5(source)

That is why I am proud to lead 60 colleagues in a bipartisan resolution to honor this commemoration. I remain committed to fighting for public employees in Congress and beyond.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 29(source)

SCOTUS's Callais decision is an affront to everything my brother John Lewis and so many others marched and bled for. Each time the Voting Rights Act is weakened, Americans lose a bit more faith in their democracy.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 29(source)

Great to join Governor Wes Moore at District Heights Elementary School to learn more about how CSRAP has made a real difference in students' and their families' lives. As a longtime advocate for early-childhood education, I'll keep working to support the well-being and success of our students.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 28(source)
