Speaker Pelosi took a blowtorch to the ridiculous assertion by the Trump WH that Trump wasn't briefed orally about Russia putting a hit on our troops in Afghanistan because our intelligence agencies didn't have 100% confirmation.

More 🔥🔥🔥 from #MadamSpeaker's presser below!

Nearly a week since we learned that Russia put a bounty on the head of our troops in Afghanistan, Trump still has had nothing to say to Putin about the spilled American blood on his hands.

So on top of everything else, Trump is also a failed Commander-in-Chief.

With 25 years of experience in intelligence, Speaker Pelosi knows exactly how this kind of actionable information usually comes across when there is a President and Commander-in-Chief who is not invested in letting Putin get away with murder.

#AllRoadsLeadToPutin

Instead of more sanctions, Trump has been Putin's biggest fan – as he pushed our allies to invite Russia to re-form the G8.

Republicans in Congress better give up their "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"🙈🙉🙊 routine with Trump. It's putting our troops in danger.

Before the fireworks about Trump doing and saying nothing to deter Putin from targeting our troops, Madam Speaker made the case – again – for Mitch McConnell to pass the #HEROESAct to stop our recession from cementing into a depression as the #coronavirus ramps up again.

When Democrats caught a wave in 2018 to claim the House majority, we did it because health care was the #1 issue. Update: still is!

But somehow, Trump decided that working to take away health care from millions during the #coronavirus pandemic is a good idea. Spoiler: it isn't.

Months into #StayingAtHome, Mitch McConnell should be embarrassed that Speaker Pelosi had to point out that being competitive requires us to redefine infrastructure beyond "roads and bridges."

"We're building the infrastructure for the future; not for the '50s." #ForThePeople

Speaker Pelosi had fun answering this question but it should be head-scratcher to anyone paying any attention to how hard her House is working that a journalist on that beat believed that she was in for a 2-week vacation from DC.

FACT☑️: The House is back in session on Monday.

As we get ready for a 4th of July like we've never had, Madam Speaker brought it home that everything the House has done this week – from the #JusticeInPolicing Act to fighting to #ProtectOurCare to supporting democracy in #HongKong – has been about justice. For all.🎇🇺🇸
