Right now, House Republicans are forcing a procedural vote, bringing Members unnecessarily to the Floor when more than 200,000 new COVID-19 infections were reported & 100,000 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized yesterday alone. Further proof they don’t take this crisis seriously.
Over 30 million American workers are set to lose a critical lifeline today because of Senator McConnell and the Senate GOP’s refusal to act. Did Senator McConnell forget what he told the American people in May? https://t.co/rXjikn3Qk7
During my weekly press conference, I said that after hearing from our Members and consulting with the Speaker and the Attending Physician, the House will not reconvene next week. We will return once the CARES 2 package is ready.
Mr. Hoyer just announced on today's Caucus conference call that the House will be in session next week, beginning Monday, May 4th, and that votes are possible.
The reviews of the #TrumpBudget are in, and they are not kind. They point out the unrealistic economic growth assumptions, the massive deficits and debt, and his broken promise to protect programs like Medicare. Check them out here: https://t.co/qHKo5o3ZQY
The #TrumpBudget released yesterday revealed even more of the President’s hypocrisy. We know you are dying to see how far the House GOP will go to defend him. Don’t worry, we’ve got some questions already prepared for you: https://t.co/F0Zdom4FAr
Here’s a reality check for President Trump, courtesy of @Axios: you can’t protect Americans with pre-existing conditions if you sabotage them in court. https://t.co/aeUGY8PUI8
Looks like someone at @washingtonpost tuned into @LeaderHoyer’s special order hour on the economy this week. Take a look at how the President’s “economic promises are falling well short of reality” here: https://t.co/BRLS8ly7T4
For Republicans, here’s the lie that won’t die: their #GOPTaxScam will pay for itself. In today's editorial, the @NYTimes calls out the Trump Administration for repeating that falsehood over and over again: https://t.co/v3viqZO34N
Trump must not remember the last one because – get this – he is threatening another government shutdown.
In case he needs a reminder: the last shutdown cost the U.S economy at least $11 billion. https://t.co/ecLnCYDUIm
An early, incorrect version of a 2020 House legislative calendar is being sent around. This is not the correct calendar. The Majority Leader’s Office will release the official 2020 House calendar tomorrow morning.
Before another Republican tries to tell you that Ukraine didn’t feel any pressure by Trump to investigate his political rival, this important report from the @AP details how U.S. officials knew early on that Ukraine was feeling pressured: https://t.co/2mb5qmSbLi
.@LeaderHoyer’s comments were taken out of context. The vote tomorrow is not about formalizing the impeachment inquiry, which the House is authorized to do. As he pointed out, it is setting up process & procedures for open hearings, which is essential as we move forward.
WATCH: House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer on the upcoming impeachment resolution in the House: “We don’t need the vote tomorrow, the court has indicated we can proceed as we have been proceeding.” https://t.co/atxJgHXjLj

POTUS is telling the House GOP to focus on substance, not process, when it comes to the impeachment inquiry. Guess he didn’t like the “flailing,” “frantic,” “disjointed,” “running out of ideas” headlines from last week. https://t.co/ZtSKRYuO0a
“Frantic,” “disjointed,” and “running out of ideas…”
We’re guessing those can’t be the headlines Republicans were hoping to see this morning. https://t.co/jDOfbrtskQ
Ranking Member Thornberry said this about the #NDAA in 2015: "If Members vote against this bill, they are voting against everything in it." So, if Republicans want to vote against the NDAA this week, here's a look at what they are voting against: https://t.co/icwIGHHyn8
Given the #TrumpBudget’s deep cuts to critical programs, demands for a border wall, and budget gimmicks included in the proposal, it should be no surprise that the headlines today highlight how this budget is dead on arrival. Take a look: https://t.co/2guNQEHyGw
