Press Releases
Dear Democratic Colleague,
This morning, President Biden graciously called to thank us for passing the American Rescue Plan. As I convey his appreciation to you, I do so with great pride in the commitment and courage of our Caucus to meet the needs of the American people.
Late last night, in passing the American Rescue Plan, the Congress took a momentous step forward to ensure that, as President Biden promised, Help Is On The Way. It is in a spirit of great gratitude that I congratulate our dazzling Chairs, Members and staff for their masterful, timely and values-based leadership in bringing us to this very important moment for the American people.
Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on the release of a declassified report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, mandated by the Congress, on the killing of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi:
"The chilling report from the Intelligence Community confirms what the world has long known: that Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered at the direction of top Saudi officials, including Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman. This heinous event is an affront to the rule of law and to the most basic understanding of human rights.
"The United States government must re-evaluate and recalibrate the relationship with Saudi Arabia, given the findings of this report, which are part of a disturbing pattern of human rights abuses from the Kingdom.

"Today is a proud and momentous day, as the House passes the Protecting America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act: one of the most ambitious, impactful and far-reaching conservation bills in our nation's history. We salute Natural Resources Committee Chair Raúl Grijalva and all who have worked to advance this legislation, which protects our natural heritage now, for our children and grandchildren, and for generations to come.
