For those concerned that the appointment of a Special Counsel will delay things: just the opposite. Jack is a super fast, no-nonsense, and let's-cut-to-the-chase kind of guy. And now, with less DOJ bureaucracy in decision-making, the investigations can move faster.
I was described by Steve Bannon (and, sigh, many others) as a pit bull. Jack Smith makes me look like a golden retriever puppy. So tenacious and fearless. And apolitical and ethical.
Months ago, I urged appointment of a special counsel. More recently, I thought it was too late. Now that I see the details, I think Garland has done exactly the right thing and that Smith is exactly the right prosecutor to take it on. Full speed ahead! https://t.co/k0OD8sZ6DY
Speaker Nancy Pelosi will go down as one of most accomplished legislators in American history—breaking barriers, opening doors for others, and working every day to serve the American people. I couldn’t be more grateful for her friendship and leadership.
The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 351-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 21-to-1. Trickle down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives.
We need you back at the Nancy Pelosi Keep It Blue '22 phone bank office to help Cure CA Votes (we can pick up 2+ more House seats) and make calls into GA.

Taxing billionaires and raising wages are not radical ideas. What's radical is watching over 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck while one man has the means to acquire and tank an entire social media platform in less than a month.
BREAKING: a judge in Georgia just ordered counties to offer early voting on November 26th. This comes after an attempt by Georgia to ban voting on that day — and is a huge victory for anyone who cares about voting rights and democracy.
Yesterday, I said that the time has come for a new generation to lead our magnificent @HouseDemocrats. It is with pride, gratitude and confidence in their abilities that I salute @RepJeffries, @RepKClark & @RepPeteAguilar for being ready and willing to assume this responsibility.
PepsiCo raised prices by 17%. Their profits went up by more than 20%.
Chipotle raised prices by nearly 15%. Their profits went up by nearly 26%.
See the pattern? Corporations are raising prices under the cover of inflation, after their inflation-related costs have been covered.
If a special counsel was to be appointed, I can think of no-one better suited than Jack Smith. Vast experience prosecuting public corruption cases, treacherous national security violations, and crimes against humanity. Absorbs complex facts instantly. Perfect for Donald Trump.
Republicans get control of the House & the first they do is…No not explore how to tame inflation or crime etc. They launch an investigation of President & Hunter Biden.
Boring. Divisive. Retro. Unwanted. Zero positive impact on the lives of Americans. Is this the real Red Wave?
In their first press conference as the majority earlier today, House Republicans didn’t talk about concrete policies that would help Americans. Instead, they wanted to “keep it about Hunter Biden.” That’s your tax payer money at work. And you should be furious.
When I think of Nancy Pelosi, I think of dignity.
History will note her as the most consequential Speaker of the House of Representatives in history – she is first, last, and always for the people. America owes her a debt of gratitude for her service, patriotism, and dignity.
1/ There's one night I will remember most when thinking about Nancy Pelosi - the night I watched her single handedly save health care for 20 million Americans.
It was at the first Democratic caucus meeting after Scott Brown won the special Senate election in Massachusetts.
This would’ve been unimaginable before Trump’s time as president. He gave permission for all these fascist Anti-Semitic White Nationalists to crawl out from under their rocks and start terrorizing people who assumed nothing like this could stalk the streets of today’s America.
