House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer today announced that The Honorable Robert J. Dole will lie in state in the United States Capitol Rotunda on Thursday, December 9, 2021. 

As House Speaker, I applaud President Biden’s strong leadership in announcing that there will be no official U.S. diplomatic presence at the 2022 Winter Olympics.  While we must support and celebrate our athletes, America – and the world – cannot give our official imprimatur to these games or proceed as if there is nothing wrong with holding the Olympics in a country perpetrating genocide and mass human rights violations. 

“Today our nation mourns the loss of a towering leader who embodied courage and excellence in public service: Senator Robert Dole.  Paul and I join all Americans in paying tribute to this extraordinary patriot."

The passing of Charlotte Shultz brings sadness to the City of San Francisco, the State of California and our entire community.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats held a bill enrollment photo opportunity today for H.R. 6119, the Further Extending Government Funding Act.

“Today, in passing the Continuing Resolution under Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro, the Democratic Congress took an essential step to keep government open and pave the way for an omnibus funding bill that meets the need of the American people."
