Madam Speaker: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the U.S. Speaker of the House (September 23– 27th, 2019)

The times have found us. This week, we witnessed a sad, yet important, moment for our nation when Speaker Pelosi announced that the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry after the actions taken to date by the President, which have seriously violated the Constitution. The Speaker joined the rally to #EndGunViolence outside the U.S. Capitol, welcomed the parents of journalist Austin Tice, a journalist being held captive in Syria, and met with Jonathan Van Ness to talk about the #EqualityAct.

“The President must be held accountable. No one is above the law. Getting back to our founders, in the darkest days of the American Revolution, Thomas Paine wrote that times have found us, that times found them to fight for and establish our democracy. The times have found us today.”
