MSNBC EXCLUSIVE: House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi reacts to Speaker Mike Johnson saying he doesn't "have anything to negotiate" during the government shutdown.

"They do have a strategy, and that is to give tax breaks to the richest people in America at the expense of America's working families."

The ceasefire between Israel & Hamas and the release of all hostages gives hope for what comes next after unbearable suffering.

We must now ensure full humanitarian access in Gaza and a path to a two-state solution where Israelis & Palestinians can live in security and dignity.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the heritage of America’s first peoples and celebrate them as enduring stewards of God’s creation.

Today, we recommit to advancing tribal sovereignty and protecting sacred lands while reflecting on the painful history we must never forget.

This week, I was honored to meet with Maja Riniker and distinguished women leaders of the Swiss Parliament to discuss our shared commitment to innovation, trade and democracy.

Switzerland’s dedication to peace & partnership—and chocolate—is a source of inspiration to the world.

🚨 It’s Mythbusters time. I asked my Democratic colleagues to help me clear up the shutdown misinformation being spread by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans.

Working families are seeing their premiums double because of the GOP health care crisis.

But instead of staying in Washington to fix it, House Republicans went home.

Democrats will keep fighting For The People—ready to reopen the government and stop costs from soaring.

Pelosi: "Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, all of that, are now being asked to reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich. We're not doing it. It isn't a question of, 'let's come back together so we can discuss it.' That isn't going to happen."

We must continue working toward the release of hostages, an immediate and sustained ceasefire, and the urgent delivery of food, water, and medicine to Gaza for those in desperate need.

America has an obligation to stand for a just, lasting peace for Israel and Palestine while respecting the dignity of every human life.

We continue to mourn the innocent lives taken, pray for the families still waiting for their loved ones, and demand the release of all remaining hostages.

Two years ago, the world watched in horror as Hamas carried out its brutal terrorist attack on Israel — a day of unspeakable violence, grief, and loss.

The right of U.S. citizens to due process and fair treatment under international law must be protected.

I call on the Israeli government to immediately grant full consular access, provide transparent evidence of any charges, and guarantee that proper legal rights are extended.

Deeply honored to receive the Star of Ukraine Award last night from the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation.

The courage and heroism of the Ukrainian people have inspired the world—and as they fight for their freedom, we must continue to stand with them.

Yesterday, I toured the new Sophie Maxwell Building in San Francisco—affordable homes rising on the site of the old, polluting Potrero Power Plant.

Honoring Sophie’s legacy, this project delivers housing and opportunity for Bayview–Hunters Point, with women leading the way.

This morning I joined @rephuffman.bsky.social, @kevinmullin.house.gov and Bay Area health care leaders at NEMS to call out Republicans’ cruel health care crisis.

While the GOP puts affordable health care at risk, Democrats are fighting to keep government open and prevent skyrocketing premiums.

Today, the world lost an iconic conservationist and primatologist.

Jane Goodall redefined our understanding of the natural world, pioneered a new field of study and empowered generations.

A dear friend for decades, her legacy will continue to inform and inspire.

Republicans are pushing America toward a shutdown—threatening to spike health care premiums for working families across the country.

Democrats are in Washington, ready to keep government open and fight for every American’s right to affordable, quality health care.

The government shuts down tonight—but House Republicans are on vacation.

Democrats are in Washington, ready to keep government open and lower health care costs.

If Republicans force a shutdown, it’s on them. Democrats will keep fighting to protect your health care.

With government funding set to expire tomorrow, Democrats are ready to reach a bipartisan deal that keeps government open and lowers health care costs. 
Republicans would rather push their partisan bill that causes health care premiums, copays and drug prices to soar.

48 years ago, President Carter signed the Food Stamp Act, laying the foundation for SNAP—our nation’s most successful anti-hunger initiative.

Shamefully, Republicans slashed SNAP in their Big, Ugly Bill—prioritizing tax cuts for the rich over feeding America's hungry children.

Donald Trump thinks Americans needing affordable health care is unserious and ridiculous.

He’s wrong.

The President’s comments only show that he is dangerously unserious and sadly ridiculous.

Four years ago, our Democratic House passed the Women’s Health Protection Act to restore Roe and protect reproductive freedom.

While the cowardice of Senate Republicans prevented it from becoming law, Democrats will never stop until reproductive rights are restored nationwide.

As Jewish families across America and around the world gather for Rosh Hashanah, I join in wishing them a year filled with health, hope and renewal.

May this season of reflection bring peace and joy to all.
