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.

A San Francisco native is among hundreds of activists being detained at an Israeli prison after that country’s navy intercepted a flotilla of boats bound for Gaza with supplies and humanitarian aid.

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.

On this sacred day, we wish our Jewish friends and neighbors across the world an easy and meaningful fast.

May #YomKippur bring renewal, forgiveness and peace—and may the year ahead be filled with joy and good health.

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.

For 35 years, the National AIDS Memorial has stood as a sacred space of healing and remembrance.

It was an honor to join volunteers, founders and partners there this weekend to pay tribute to those we have lost and renew our commitment to banish HIV to the dustbin of history.

They were wrong when they told us “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was essential to protecting our military.

Fourteen years after repealing that discriminatory policy and tossing it into the dustbin of history, we must summon that same courage to confront today’s attacks on equality.

Yesterday, I had the honor of joining the USO to assemble care packages for our brave men and women in uniform.

These small gestures of thanks reflect America’s unshakable commitment to honor those who sacrifice so much in defense of our nation.

Today, I joined @padilla.senate.gov, @schiff.senate.gov, and my House colleagues to re-introduce my Redistricting Reform Act.

It’s time to put an end to Trump’s gerrymandering war and establish independent redistricting nationwide.

On Constitution Day, I joined @schiff.senate.gov, @repdangoldman.bsky.social and @repsummerlee.bsky.social to reintroduce the Protecting Our Democracy Act.

This legislation restores checks and balances to make it clear that no president—including Donald Trump—is above the law and the Constitution.

It was deeply moving to meet with Gold Star families and advocates today.

Their voices and resilience are powerful reminders of the heroes we have lost—and of our responsibility to ensure surviving families receive the security and benefits they earned and deserve.
