“While rioters shamefully destroyed this tribute to my brother John Lewis yesterday, let his words continue to echo in the halls of Congress and in our hearts,” Hoyer tweeted. “Let us always stand up, speak up, and speak out against injustice and for our democracy.”
The display pictured by Hoyer features a quote from the Georgia Democrat, “When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just; you have to stand up, speak up, speak out, and find a way to get in the way and get in trouble. Good trouble. Necessary trouble.”

President Trump is threatening to derail a $900 billion COVID-19 relief package passed by Congress on Monday after months of bitter negotiations.
In a video released on his Twitter feed Tuesday evening, Trump said he wants Congress to send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package.
Trump said the bill was a disgrace and called the payments of up to $600 to qualifying individuals in the current bill ridiculously low. He said he wants that boosted to $2,000 per individual and $4,000 for couples despite the fact that it was Republicans who stood in the way of higher payments for months.
