09/06/2022 Tweet - "The Republican-stacked Supreme Court overturning Roe opened the door to more right-wing attacks on women -- including our right to contraception. No one should be denied access to birth control. @HouseDemocrats ' Right to Contraception Act protects this fundamental freedom."
07/22/2022 Tweet - "Today, a jury found Trump associate Steve Bannon guilty for defying a lawful Congressional subpoena & obstructing the patriotic work of @January6thCmte . This is a triumph of our system of checks & balances and a step forward for justice, reaffirming that no one is above the law."
07/01/2022 Tweet - "A woman's fundamental health decisions are her own to make, not to be dictated by far-right politicians. While extremist Republicans are working to punish and control women, Democrats are fighting ferociously to enshrine Roe v Wade into law."
06/30/2022 Tweet - "As Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson takes her seat on the Supreme Court, our nation takes an historic step toward realizing our highest ideals. Amid this Court's cruel assault on Americans' health, freedom and security, she will be a much needed force for equal justice for all."
06/26/2022 Tweet - "Today, Americans commemorate a landmark victory for equal justice under the law. By unequivocally recognizing the Constitutional right to marriage equality, the Obergefell v. Hodges decision continues to bring joy, dignity and justice to families in every corner of the country."
05/13/2022 Tweet - "Today, I joined @HouseDemocrats on the steps of the United States Capitol, across from the Supreme Court, to say to the Supreme Court and to the Senate: hands off women's reproductive health care. #ProtectRoe"
05/10/2022 Tweet - "In October, the House voted on a strong bipartisan basis to hold Steve Bannon in contempt for defying a legitimate Congressional subpoena. This vote upheld the genius of our Constitution: the separation of powers, which safeguards the Congress' authority to conduct oversight."
05/03/2022 Tweet - "This draft decision is a sweeping & severe restriction of Americans' rights. With it, Trump, McConnell & Republicans assault privacy, precedent & the Constitution. By striking down Roe v. Wade, the Court would pave the way for Republicans to obliterate even more of our freedoms."
04/07/2022 Tweet - "Today is a day of great pride and patriotism for our nation, as Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson makes history as the first Black woman to be confirmed to the Supreme Court."
03/28/2022 Tweet - "This ruling is a victory for the rule of law: allowing @January6thCmte to review documents related to the deadly insurrection. The Court also found that, in plotting to subvert the 2020 election, the former President most likely committed federal crimes."
02/25/2022 Tweet - "In nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, @POTUS has chosen a widely respected jurist who will bring to the Court one of the sharpest legal minds in a generation, an unyielding commitment to justice and a strong voice for American values."
02/08/2022 Tweet - "Last night, the House took a step to #EndForcedArbitration of sexual assault and harassment. Our bill will void agreements that silence 60 million workers and many more consumers who are currently denied the freedom to pursue recourse for sexual assault and harassment."
01/27/2022 Tweet - "When Justice Stephen Breyer departs from the bench, the Supreme Court and the Country will lose a leader of honor and integrity, a defender of liberty, justice and the Constitution, and a guardian of our fundamental rights."
01/20/2022 Tweet - "Last night's Supreme Court ruling is a victory for the truth, for the rule of law and for the American people. As the Courts have again and again affirmed, no one is above the law -- not even a former president, who incited the #January6th insurrection."
01/13/2022 Tweet - "It is good news that SCOTUS has upheld the President's life-saving action to protect our health care heroes and their patients. However, it's alarming that the Court has chosen to ignore the science and the law by preventing the Admin from keeping Americans safe in the workplace."
12/14/2021 Tweet - "Tonight, the House voted on a bipartisan basis to hold Mark Meadows, who has key information on the #January6th attack, in contempt of Congress. In doing so, we fulfill our duty to the Constitution and the nation to find the truth of that dark day."
11/10/2021 Tweet - "The District Court has delivered a victory for the Constitution, the rule of law and the American people, in ruling to reaffirm the House's investigatory powers and to reject the past President's attempted obstruction of the investigation into the deadly #January6th insurrection."
09/20/2021 Tweet - "Today, Congressional Democrats are taking action in the Courts as we stand with the American people and the law in defense of this truth: every woman, everywhere, has the constitutional right to basic reproductive health care."
09/02/2021 Tweet - "The Court's cowardly decision to uphold a flagrantly unconstitutional assault on women's rights and health is staggering. The House will bring up Congresswoman Judy Chu's Women's Health Protection Act to enshrine into law reproductive health care for all women across America."
09/01/2021 Tweet - "SCOTUS's failure to block #SB8 has delivered catastrophe to women in Texas. This radical law is an all out effort to erase the rights and protections of Roe v Wade."
07/01/2021 Tweet - "The right to vote and to have a voice in the political process of every American is the foundation of our American Democracy. Sadly, the Supreme Court has handed down two rulings today that undermine our democracy. The solution is clear: HR1, the #ForThePeople Act, and HR4."
06/17/2021 Tweet - "Thanks to the tireless advocacy of Americans across the country and the work of Democrats in Congress, the Affordable Care Act endures as a pillar of American health and economic security alongside Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security."
12/11/2020 Tweet - "The U.S. Supreme Court has rightly dismissed out of hand the sham GOP lawsuit to overturn the will of millions of American voters."
11/10/2020 Tweet - "Republicans have tried and failed to repeal the ACA at least 70 times in Congress and twice through the courts, but as was heard in today's oral arguments, the Supreme Court must be deferential to Congress's intent and uphold the law."
10/26/2020 Tweet - "President Trump and Senate Republicans have committed an act of supreme desperation: jamming through a Supreme Court nominee just eight days before Election Day as part of their years-long campaign to destroy Americans' health care."
