Yes, it can be shown beyond a doubt that Pelosi is a member of the Progressive Caucus. What I want is irrefutable printed evidence that membership in the Progressive Caucus is the same as membership in the Democratic Socialists of America, or that the Progressive Caucus is a part of the DSA, and thus that Pelosi can irrefutably be called a Socialist.

(To me, anyone who wants to notably increase the portion of GDP controlled by the government, especially from its current 35% level to beyond the 50% level, is by definition a socialist, but most people think you're wearing a tinfoil hat if you call a "progressive" Democrat a socialist.)

Since I doubt any of the above is so (except the contention that Pelosi is a socialist; 'progressive' is after all a synonym for 'socialist' these days) I doubt you'll have much luck.

"Democratic Socialist" has been engineered by the American political elite to be the "name one dare not say".If you honestly look at it, the policies and rulers of the DNC are communists.
