House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi slammed President Trump's record in his first 100 days in office, saying, "He hasn’t really proposed anything.” "We're looking for the infrastructure bill, which ... we [would] welcome and want to work with the president on," Pelosi told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl in an exclusive interview that aired on "This Week" Sunday.

She also urged people to be “optimistic” about Obamacare. “You just see,” Pelosi said. “I mean be optimistic about it. It is a very, very exciting enterprise.”

You might think that out-going Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi would have learned from the Democrats' massive trouncing two weeks ago. If you do, you are wrong.

According to Pelosi, the 111th Congress, thanks to her leadership, saved the United States from economic ruin and in fact made it much stronger. It's all in her faux-facts "blog" The Gavel. I suppose now that Ms. Pelosi is going to lose control of the House, she thinks lying her botoxed face off will have no consequences....

But then Pelosi -- whose weekly press conferences are legendary for their highly scripted nature and her...

The House Republicans' top campaign chief strongly denounced Speaker Nancy Pelosi's comments that appeared to question whether today's angry conservative protests were similar to anti-gay rallies in the late 1970s that preceded the assassination of two San Francisco political leaders. Rep. Pete Sessions (Texas), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said Pelosi crossed the line when she related the rhetoric of anti-gay protesters in San Francisco in 1978 -- the year Harvey Milk, the first openly gay member of the city's board of supervisors, and his political ally, Mayor George Moscone, were killed by former supervisor Dan White --...
