The past few years have brought a new meaning to the term “unprecedented.” One global crisis after another has made it hard to contextualize the truly historic times we’ve been living through.

Senate Democrats are resurrecting President Joe Biden’s shortsighted Build Back Better bill after reaching an agreement with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).

Millions of people from all over the world come to visit our majestic Giant Sequoias every year. No photo can accurately depict the awe-inspiring natural splendor of a Giant Sequoia, towering more than 300 feet into the sky.

One year later, I’m ecstatic to see school children, staff, tourists, and my fellow members fill our nation’s Capitol, as managing COVID-19 becomes just another part of daily life. The beauty of the people’s House is its accessibility to the American public.
