Today, the Supreme Court has unequivocally affirmed that all Americans, regardless of who you are or whom you love, are protected from discrimination in the workplace under federal law. This momentous decision is a victory for the LGBTQ community, for our democracy and for our fundamental values of equality and justice for all.

The Trump Administration’s latest shameful rule is a shocking attack on the health and well-being of countless vulnerable communities, including women, LGBTQ individuals and people of color, at a time when access to quality health care is more important than ever. Undermining the Affordable Care Act’s anti-discrimination protections is a direct assault on basic health care services, from comprehensive reproductive care for women and families to life-saving care for communities of color, seniors, the disabled and the LGBTQ community. It is particularly disgraceful that the Trump Administration issued this new rule during LGBTQ Pride Month and on the day marking four years since the tragic Pulse Nightclub shooting.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined David Westin on Bloomberg’s Balance of Power to discuss the Congressional response to the killing of George Floyd, including Democrats’ newly unveiled Justice in Policing Act of 2020, and other news of the day.

“Last year, House Democrats secured a new and dramatically improved U.S.-Canada-Mexico Trade Agreement,” said Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “As a part of the strong enforcement mechanisms that Democrats added to the USMCA, it is my privilege to name two outstanding champions for workers’ rights, Cathy Feingold and Fred Ross, Jr., to the newly created Independent Mexico Labor Expert Board to provide the oversight and enforcement actions necessary to ensure Mexico’s timely implementation of important labor reforms.”
