30 states and D.C. have taken action to raise teacher pay since the start of our Administration. We continue to call on states to give public school teachers a raise – because they deserve it.

Today, the Homeland Security committee placed a bouquet at the seat of Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. and had a moment of silence in his honor. It was a moving tribute to a great Congressman and dedicated servant of the people.

Rep. Bennie G. Thompson was little when civil rights leader Medgar Evers died in 1963. However, Evers' legacy had a lasting impact on Thompson as President Biden posthumously awarded Evers the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
