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…
Nancy Pelosi
The Public Record
Nancy Patricia Pelosi is an American politician serving as the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives since January 2019, and previously from 2007 to 2011. She is a member of the Democratic Party and has represented California's 12th congressional district in the House of Representatives since 1987, making her one of the longest-serving members of Congress. Pelosi is the first woman to hold the office of Speaker, a role in which she has played a significant part in shaping legislative priorities and party strategy.
The administration has prioritized big businesses over small businesses and the American workers that Congress intended to protect.
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.
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.
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.
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.
My concern was, the president has not shown any respect for the office that he holds.
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.
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.
I thank the gentlewoman for her kind words of introduction, but I most importantly want to thank her for being the champion, the champion in defense of the Postal Service. I rise to join her in support of the Delivering for America Act, to…
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.
The postmaster general's alleged pause in taking away voting machines is wholly insufficient and does not reverse the damage already wreaked.
The president says he wants to save the post office now. We have to save the post office from the president now.
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 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.
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.
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.
Speaker Pelosi making it plain she thinks Trump wants to -- quote -- 'sabotage the election' and disenfranchise voters by kneecapping the way that many ballots would be handled and counted, through the mail.
The postal service, an all-American institution. I heard you earlier talk about what it means in terms of connecting family. We're talking here about how it delivers medicine. And again, at the time of a pandemic, how necessary it is for…
We put $25 billion. That figure is the figure that was recommended by the Board of Governors of the U.S. Postal Service, 100 percent appointed by Donald Trump. The president is afraid of the American people. He's been afraid for a while…
