"We should be very proud. As I say, on battlefield we leave no soldier behind, and when they come home, we leave no veteran behind. So we have to do this right and recognize what we are doing is temporary, and I am all for that. And as I said to you before, under certain circumstances, and temporarily to transition us, federally qualified health centers may be able to meet the needs of some of our veterans for some of their maladies. But not all."

“Today’s meeting at the White House allowed an important dialogue to take place between the President and Congressional leaders on Iraq and other national security issues."

“Our nation owes a solemn commitment to those who have served and sacrificed in our name: that just as the military leaves no one behind on the battlefield, we must leave no veteran behind when they come home,” said Leader Pelosi.

“The team that represents our nation’s capital should be a source of pride to all Americans. It’s long past time for the Washington football team to choose a new name.”

“The capture of Ahmed Abu Khatallah should stand as a stern reminder to all those who would harm Americans: no matter how far you run, or how deep you hide, you will face justice."

“Time and again, Evangeline has proved she has the savvy and determination to get the job done,” Pelosi said. “As press secretary she has consistently demonstrated her ability and excellence. In this new role, she will continue to serve as a key spokeswoman and messenger for House Democrats, carrying forward our agenda of opportunity and fairness for all.”

“As we observe the 150th anniversary of Arlington National Cemetery, let us rededicate ourselves to caring for our veterans and all those who have served and sacrificed on behalf of our freedom.”

“As our nation marches towards justice and equality for LGBT Americans, it is disappointing that House Republicans continue to stand on the wrong side of history. Republicans should stop blocking a vote on the bipartisan Employment Non-Discrimination Act that passed the Senate, and make these essential protections the law of the land.”
