| Jan. 23, 2019 - Speaker Nancy
Pelosi declared that President Trump is "holding the
American people and America’s workers hostage." "The senseless
and prolonged shutdown is
inflicting chaos across the country, and certainly in Washington, D.C.,
on public safety, on civil aviation, on housing, on health and
financial security," she told the mayors. In her remarks Pelosi,
who has been Speaker for about three weeks, highlighted three
challenges: income disparity, the climate crisis and the housing
crisis and homelessness. transcript
