Nancy Pelosi

I have every intention -- I have every intention that the Gang of Eight will be briefed, but I have never wanted to stay there.

The President wants, invites, appreciates Russia's involvement in our elections, which is not lawful.

The intelligence committee must fully and currently brief Congress on intelligence matters.

Never before have the times demand that we allow courageous leaders as today. And that is why I'm proud to endorse Joe Kennedy for Senate.

It's hard to be shocked anymore at the abuse of power of this administration now, isn't it? It is very clear that the president wants, invites, appreciates Russia's involvement in our election, which is not lawful.

Either the Constitution meant something and was worth defending, or it wasn't, Pelosi contended. The Senate would almost certainly not convict, but that wasn't the point. This was for the record and for history.

It's very clear that the President once invites, appreciate it -- appreciates Russia's involvement in our elections, which is not lawful. We don't want Vladimir Putin deciding who the next president is. We want the American people to…

The administration has prioritized big businesses over small businesses and the American workers that Congress intended to protect.

Secretary Mnuchin, I hope you will return to the negotiating table prepared to find common cause on legislation that meets the pressing needs of America's families and communities that are hurting from this crisis.

Instead, the President offered a fake solution, executive orders, that give the appearance of action, but were clearly insufficient to address the economic peril Americans face.

The HEROES Act would extend $600 weekly unemployment benefits, help families with food and housing assistance, and support state and local governments and the millions of essential workers they employ.

This demonstrates that the Trump administration is engaged in a politicized effort to withhold election-related information from Congress and the American people, at the precise moment that greater transparency and accountability is needed.

I ask the Republicans to take back their party. And they will see the difference tonight between light of last week and darkness of this week.

My concern was, the president has not shown any respect for the office that he holds.

I have every confidence in Joe Biden. As I have said, he has -- he knows why. He knows his why he is running for president.

What people know -- need to know is not to pay attention to the president of the United States when he engages in his fear tactics.

We have a pandemic of biblical proportions in our country, three issues that can be addressed by attention to science, science and science.

It's appalling. They should not be engaged in any partisan activities. I don't know what he's going to say. But whatever it is, it would be a violation of the law if they were to engage in partisan activities.

As speaker of the House, I have been - I have seen firsthand Donald Trump's disrespect for facts, for working families and for women, in particular.

Joe Biden is the president we need right now.

The postmaster general's alleged pause in taking away voting machines is wholly insufficient and does not reverse the damage already wreaked.

We will have vote by mail. It will be successful. We will not depend on the president to anoint it. But we will vote early. We will have our organization. We don't agonize. We organize.

Their purpose is to frighten people from voting. The more chaos they can create, the more fear they can instill about, well, your vote's not going to count anyway, it won't matter, and you're -- it's probably corrupt and get caught up in…

It's also about the health of our democracy, as they do this to make an assault on the mail in terms of absentee balloting and the rest.

It is, to use a word, volcanic. It has been explosive in terms of the response that members, Democratic and Republican, all over the country have received to this assault on this connection that they have, Americans have, with each other.
