High-Ranking Democrat Announces Retirement

Steny Hoyer, D-Md., the longtime power broker who once served as ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s top lieutenant, announced Thursday that he will retire from Congress at the end of his term.

Hoyer, 86, made the announcement from the House floor, drawing sustained applause as he rose to speak.

“I stand here now, after some 60 years in public service,” Hoyer said. “Mr. Speaker, I have decided not to seek another term in the People’s House. I make this decision with sadness, for I love this House, an institution the framers designed to reflect the will of the American people and to serve as the guardian of their liberty and their democracy.”

He warned that the chamber had drifted from its founding purpose.

“I am deeply concerned that this House is not living up to the founders’ goals. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to examine their consciences, renew their courage and carry out the responsibilities that the First Article of the Constitution demands,” Hoyer said.

Hoyer will leave Congress when his term ends in January 2027, marking another high-profile exit for House Democrats ahead of the 2026 midterms. Pelosi, D-Calif., has also announced she will not seek re-election, leaving Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina as the only remaining member of the party’s top 2021 leadership trio who has not said he is retiring.

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

If the House is not living up to the Founder's goals, that is largely due to the efforts of Hoyer and his ilk.  F**king bastard.

Good riddance.  He represents another poster boy for why we should have TERM LIMITS!!!!!

He is right on one thing, Congress no longer is doing their job.   They have made themselves inconsequential, and it is apparant to all that have any intelligence, that their sole mission is lining their own pockets with gold.  When idiots like AOC and Ilhan Omar can become worth tens of millions of dollars in just a few years, there is clearly something very corrupt in Washington.

I saw what I thought to be a very credible man a few years ago indicate Ilhan Omar entered the USA illegally.  I cannot tell you how wrong I find her holding a position in Congress.

I fully support the legislation that permits only people born in the USA to serve in national positions of our government.  Rep Omar has repeatedly indicated her loyalty is to Somalia.  She should have been booted from Congress the next day after saying such idiocy.
