For more than two decades, Congresswoman Brown has served her constituents in Florida with passion and energy. She has been a champion for America’s veterans.

“Democrats stand for a strong national defense,” said Leader Pelosi. “Our nation cannot afford House Republicans’ blatant and dangerous budgetary gimmicks, which perpetuate instability and undermine our military’s ability to plan and prepare for the future. House Democrats will work to craft a defense budget that provides the certainty and resources our Armed Services need to keep the American people safe.”

“June’s strong jobs numbers show continued progress for our economy. We must build on this progress, and make robust investments that will create more good-paying jobs in all our communities."

Many questions have yet to be answered. But whatever their motivation, it is clear that the perpetrators of this vile act have an agenda of hatred.

Yesterday, I was very proud the House Democrats gathered on the steps of the Capitol with 91 survivors and family members wearing orange, representing the 91 people every day are killed in our country by gun violence. That's not a statistic, it's an outrage. It's a total outrage. It's a challenge to the conscience of the nation, a call to this Congress to take action and to end the appalling inaction of gun violence and gun violence prevention.

Black lives matter. We must insist on that truth to end the injustice in our communities, and honor with action our responsibility to make real the promise of equality in our country.

“There are truly no limits to the Republican Majority’s fanatical refusal to keep guns out of the hands of suspected terrorists. The collapse of their own bill shows that House Republicans are completely untethered from the reality of gun violence in our country."

“Good morning, everyone. Isn't it a great honor to be here on the steps of the Capitol with Congressman John Lewis, our hero?"
