The American Rescue Plan's work to put shots in arms, money in pockets, and people in jobs has helped slash COVID deaths, lowered jobless claims to their lowest level of the pandemic, and kept Americans afloat across the country.

Washington, D.C. — Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on the passing of former Senator John Warner of Virginia:
"The country has lost a great patriot. Senator John Warner was a hero in the military, a respected leader in the Senate and an inspiration to all with his joy for life.
"Senator John Warner was an historic force in Virginia politics and in the Senate in his thirty years of service. As a World War II and Korean War veteran and former Secretary of the Navy, John Warner brought exceptional experience and respect for our troops to his position as Chairman of the Armed Services Committee. In Congress, we all knew him as a voice of courage, conviction and comity; a leader unafraid to speak the truth but always committed to finding common ground and consensus.
Dear Democratic Colleague,
Today, solemnly, marks one year since the murder of George Floyd. Almost immediately following his death, the House, led by Congresswoman Karen Bass, introduced the Justice in Policing Act. The House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act on June 25, exactly one month after George Floyd's murder. In this new Congress once again, we proudly passed this vital legislation.
As Congresswoman Bass engages in negotiations on next steps, we remain hopeful that we will, in a bipartisan spirit, reach agreement and pass this legislation in its final form. As she and Senators Booker and Scott stated yesterday, "While we are still working through our differences on key issues, we continue to make progress toward a compromise and remain optimistic about the prospects of achieving that goal."
