His Holiness's leadership is a source of joy and hope for Catholics and for all people, challenging each of us to be good stewards of God's creation, to act on climate, to embrace the refugee, the immigrant and the poor, and to recognize the dignity and divinity in everyone.
Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released this statement on the September jobs report:
"The September jobs report is additional proof of the need for Democrats' jobs-creating Build Back Better agenda. While historic progress to create jobs, lower unemployment and defeat the pandemic has been forged under President Biden and Congressional Democrats, more must be done to protect families' financial security now and for generations to come.
Dear Democratic Colleague,
Day by day, we are proceeding with a sharpened pencil to meet the challenge to Build Back Better, which, though smaller, is still transformative.
Fortunately, we have already passed a CR until Dec. 3 to keep government open until we pass the full appropriations bills.
We have also been working to protect the full faith and credit of the United States. At this writing, the Senate is engaged in hours of debate that will lead to a vote to lift the debt ceiling.
