Nancy Pelosi

The exponentially increasing backlog at our National Park Service is unacceptable.

I have the utmost faith that every single Member seated around this dais today wants nothing more than for the Park Service to rise to the challenge and finally tackle its long-standing deferred maintenance needs.

We are going to hold the Biden administration accountable for every dollar of precious taxpayer money that is being spent.

What we saw in that Senate today, was a cowardly group of Republicans.

The House Speaker Pelosi and the House sent a $2.9 billion requirement to the Senate. And that was reduced to a $1.9 billion pie, led by Senator Leahy, who did not approve the 400 additional officers, we requested, to be in the Capitol.

To secure our border is our responsibility.

I think there's a need for an intervention there by his family or somebody else. You know, I don't think he's on the level now.

I think President Biden has done an excellent job as President of the United States. I hope that he does seek reelection. He's been a great record.

I am pleased to yield back the balance of my time as we end our tribute to two great Americans, members of our families, Miss Pat and Ella Terry. Thank you all so much. ____________________

I have the appetite for politics, but I don't have the stomach for it. I can't handle -- I don't want to be a political football.

With the participation of the Republican leadership. So it's important to point out that government was working that day.

We will have totally failed. We have got to finish the proceedings -- So what's the prospects? We are going to stay here all day? With the rest of our lives? Or what? We are here until what? Until the National Guard decides to come and get…

The Respect for Marriage Act takes key steps to uphold marriage equality under federal law. This is what we're celebrating. Tearing down the Defense of Marriage Act, taking it off the books for good.

Scripture teaches us that for everything, there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. My friends, no matter what title, you all my colleagues have bestowed upon me, Speaker, Leader, Whip, there is no greater official honor…

Violence is intended to suppress participation in the democratic process, but we can never allow it to negate the voice of the people.

This violence and the threats of violence against elected officials and their families are a heinous attempt to hold democracy hostage.

She sees the situation right now.

The need for a strong vibrant Republican party that was so -- with a leader who can stand up and say enough.

I want women to know, and people to know that you stay and you don't shrink away from the fight.

It is a model to the world. What we do -- what we do now, we see as our charge from our founders.

Defending our democracy is on the ballot in so many ways.

What I see is across the country, legislation that says if they don't like the results of the election, they will establish new standards for what wins an election and determine for themselves what that is. That is not what a democracy is.

I think a vote tomorrow is a vote to defend our democracy, but I just want people to vote and then we will respect the outcome of the election.

I feel optimistic. It just depends on turnout.
