Nancy Pelosi was getting impatient. It was mid-March, and the House Speaker and her staff were working around the clock to draft urgent legislation to address the coronavirus pandemic. But the White House was dragging its feet: she hadn’t heard back from Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, her negotiating partner, in more than 12 hours. Pelosi […]

“I always advise women when they go into an interview, don’t just say you deserve this because you have done this, this and this … Just show your vision. And your vision will speak to your excellence,” says Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi knows all about making a comeback career. Last year, the House Speaker at the […]
On MLK weekend three years ago, thousands across the country took Our First Stand to Save Health Care – vowing to defeat the Republican special interest agenda. With the unity of Democrats and the ferocious mobilization of the grassroots, we won the House and succeeded in protecting our care. Three years later, the battle remains. Moscow […]
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) raised more than $87 million for Democratic candidates in 2019, her office announced Thursday morning. The record figure represents a $37.6 million increase from the $49.5 million she raised in 2017, it noted, adding that the fundraising haul included $75 million raised directly for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Pelosi’s office said she held 181 […]
Badass Women celebrates women who show up, speak up, and get things done. As someone who has proved she’s not to be messed with, it’s only fitting that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi lead our class of 2020. What makes a badass? Purpose. For me, purpose is helping the one in five children in poverty who goes […]
Nancy Pelosi isn’t wild about the question. The impeachment of President Donald Trump is under way, and I’ve asked the Speaker of the House if she thinks it’s the most important thing she’ll ever do. We’re sitting in her elegant office in the Capitol, on gold-upholstered armchairs around a low table topped with a vase of hydrangeas. Over her […]
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nancy Pelosi promised as speaker she would “show the power of the gavel.” This year, she laid it out for all to see. The past week alone, the Democratic leader delivered a $1.4 trillion government funding package to stop a shutdown, pushed through the bipartisan U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, and passed her party’s plan to […]
The U.S. president’s blind spot has always been women. The president is such a misogynist that he doesn’t believe that women are as capable, or strong and smart enough to outwit him, which is hilarious considering this is the same president that has trouble reading off a teleprompter. Nevertheless, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi […]
Serious history was made on Capitol Hill this week. No, not that whole President Trump impeachment thing. That’s already happened to two other presidents — Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton — and would have happened to Richard M. Nixon if he hadn’t resigned first. Nothing groundbreaking there. I’m talking about the way a powerful American woman showed other women around the […]
