America was founded on free-market principles. When lawmakers take an overly active role in blocking business, they contradict consumers’ will. If consumers are put first— supply and demand will do the rest, ensuring market stability. We can’t overstep our own economy. #Netflix #WBD https://t.co/YDiznnaRrt

Steny Hoyer’s departure is truly the end of an era in House Democratic politics. Steny always chose the more civil path, which is why he earned the mutual respect of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle—as a fair dealer, a respected leader, and an institution within the institution he most loved. When I served as Majority Whip, we both relished the end of the legislative week because of the colloquy, where we would verbally spar out in the public on the House floor. But behind closed doors, we would frequently meet, and especially as majorities changed and leadership roles shifted, we focused on what united us—whether it was leading our respective party delegations to visit Israel, talking about issues close to home like the two premier naval RDT&E installations in our respective districts, or just putting aside procedural differences to uphold the House as a centuries-old institution. And so, over time, I found that I would be talking to not just a leader of the opposition, but a good friend. When I needed to know what was going on within the Democratic caucus, Steny was the first and only call I would make—he was the loyal opposition, but he was also the only one trustworthy in his party’s leadership team. The House, his constituents in Southern Maryland he has represented for over 40 years, and our nation are indebted to the service of a statesman like Steny Hoyer.

I am profoundly heartbroken to hear of the passing of my close friend, Congressman Doug LaMalfa. Before serving together in Congress, we weren’t just colleagues in the California State Legislature, we were roommates. Doug was first and foremost a devoted husband and father, inspired by his Christian faith and values to make the lives of others better. Many will remember him as a principled legislator, but he was also a commonsense rice farmer through and through, spending his time in Congress fighting for family farms on agriculture, water, and resource issues, as well as working to eliminate government waste like California’s high-speed rail. Always thoughtful and affable, Doug was the unanimous choice of his colleagues to lead the Western Caucus in Congress. He will be truly missed. I share my prayers and condolences with Jill, their children, their entire family, and the entire LaMalfa team during this most difficult time.

We are learning more every day about Biden’s weaponization of justice and the extent to which his administration went after their political opponents. I commend Senators Grassley and Johnson for their work to uncover Jack Smith’s blatant abuses of power — including targeting my phone records — and call on Congress to continue to push for the truth and accountability for Jack Smith’s actions.

Freedom isn’t free. Today, we honor the veterans who have served our nation with honor and courage. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
