As this report makes clear, <modsnip - referenced post was removed> the government does not spend money for secret service or anyone else to protect the family of legislators. I would not be surprised, however, to hear that the Pelosis hire their own security for when Paul is alone In the future.
‘With Speaker Pelosi away, there would not have been a security detail at the residence, according to one source familiar with protocol.’

There are a couple of other security things mentioned in this article. Plus, we don't know what (presumably) woke Mr Pelosi at 2:30am-ish. A house alarm?
"Pelosi does not qualify for round-the-clock protection by federal agents."
"Financial records filed by the Nancy Pelosi Victory Fund PAC show that the fundraising committee paid nearly $4,000 to private security firm Safehouse Security Solutions this spring."
Pelosi likely has the largest security detail of any lawmaker in Congress. Here's what we know about her and her husband Paul's protection.
Keeping Congress safe is all up to the US Capitol Police. And congressional security forces rarely talk about how they guard political leaders.

Interesting, So NP gets security and PP does not?
Wonder why obamas kids had been seen after his presidency with SS protection.

Thank goodness for the 911 operator who worked to understand what was happening and got LE there quickly.
"Paul Pelosi secretly called 911 somehow and left the line open. He said when dispatcher Grimes answered no one responded to her, but she could hear a background conversation and sensed something was off. She turned the volume up to listen in.
"Paul Pelosi is basically trying to tell her in code what's going on: 'Why are you here? What are you going to do to me?' I mean you can imagine how he's trying to not let the attacker know 911 is listening," Miller said.
Based on what she heard, Grimes called for a high-priority wellness check at the house, he said. When officers arrived, they saw the men struggling over the hammer before the intruder struck Pelosi with the hammer, according to Miller, who added this all happened on body camera footage.
While police didn't confirm specifics of the 911 call as reported by CNN and the LA Times, the chief did praise Grimes by name for her actions during the press conference on Friday evening." Paul Pelosi secretly called 911 while in front of the intruder and spoke in 'code' to dispatcher to convey what was happening: 'Why are you here? What are you going to do to me?'

"DePape, meanwhile, will be booked at the San Francisco County jail on several charges, including-attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, and additional felonies.
DePape entered the Pelosi residence through a sliding glass door at the back of the house. Aerial footage showed broken panes of smashed glass at a door to their home.
His target was Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Instead, DePape found her husband of 59 years.
He confronted Paul Pelosi, yelling: 'Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy?.' DePape tried to tie up Paul Pelosi 'until Nancy got home.' When police arrived, the suspect told them: 'We're waiting for Nancy,' CNN reported.
San Francisco Police Chief William Scott indicated there was some type of confrontation between the two men involving a hammer. But it was unclear who the hammer be"longed to - if DePape brought it with him or if Paul Pelosi had it for defensive reasons." Paul Pelosi made secret 911 call as he confronted attacker in his home

So, speaking in code? Or was it confused?
LE stated on dispatch recordings, " RP sounded confused"

A few things that don't make sense to me yet (maybe they will as more info comes in or news reports get corrected): 1. I know Pelosi didn't have in-person security. But surely the home would have been protected by an alarm system. At my daughter's house, if a window had been broken, an alarm would have gone off and the alarm company would called them. If my daughter or husband couldn't give them the secret code, the police would have been called. 2. If Pelosi tricked the intruder into letting him use the bathroom, why didn't he lock himself in the bathroom? Letting Pelosi use the bathroom means the intruder didn't immediately assault Pelosi - the assault seems to have happened after the police arrived. And Pelosi had the hammer initially, so the intruder came unarmed.
I don’t know how alarms like this work, but I imagine it can be turned off for some reason by the homeowner and then not turned back on...perhaps forgetting to. I believe the intruder’s stated intent was to tie Pelosi up and wait for Nancy to get home. I guess we’ll find out eventually how the hammer came into play.

Just want to preface this post to say this article is from the NY Post.
David DePape a ‘monster’ who sexually abused his kids, stepdaughter claims
“This attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband came as a shock to me, though not much considering the kind of extreme abuse he had inflicted on me and my brothers,” the 20-something Gonzalez wrote.
Gonzalez said DePape would regularly take her and her siblings to beaches and parks when they were young and one time said at a park that he’s sorry ‘”for everything I have done.”
She said she hasn’t seen DePape since she was 13, but did contact him about 4 months ago. She said the conversation ended when he refused to admit to the abuse.

I am glad PP is reasonably ok. I understand secret service protection doesn’t extend to legislators, but I feel it should extend to the speaker of the house. 3rd in line for the presidency. Maybe this incident will change the thinking on that.

I have an inexpensive Ring alarm system, with a subscription to alert the local LE if alarm goes off. I also have added glass breaking sensors for my patio doors. And I always look at my Ring base to see if the ring is Red (meaning turned on). Since I'm a fairly poor person, I wonder why the Pelosi home doesn't have something in place. Also, if I would hear any intruder breaking into or moving about in my home, I have a lock on my bedroom door. I agree, this is a strange incident, horrible, but so many questions on the break in.

ditto. No alarm system?
sliding glass doors tend to weak points. I notice in many crime scenes intruders enter via sliding glass doors.

The man accused of beating Speaker Pelosi’s husband with a hammer made racist and often rambling posts online, including some that <modsnip> echoed QAnon conspiracy theories.

My mom has an alarm with glass sensors so if the glass is broken, it goes off. It's very sensitive though. It goes off if she drops a dish in the kitchen. Any time glass breaks, it sounds. She used to not turn it on for that reason until I convinced her to use it every night. But now that she's older, she doesn't always remember. I'm wondering if it's a similar thing with Mr. Pelosi. Maybe he just forgot. Or maybe he didn't like using it because of false alarms. Just speculation.
Nancy has extensive protection, especially since some of the January 6 mob was looking to kill her, but she wasn’t home, and Paul doesn’t get his own protection, unless he pays, of course.

Presidents get SS protection and so do their families. The families of legislators don't get SS protection, even if the legislator him/herself does.
Who gets U.S. Secret Service protection?
Does House Speaker Nancy Pelosi get Secret Service protection?

Frustrated lawmakers want protection for their families as threats increase | CNN Politics
The increase in threats to US lawmakers over the last two years has also extended to family members, according to federal law enforcement officials, but a lack of federal protection for families is frustrating some members of Congress.
And someone correct me if I'm wrong but the Speaker didn't have SS protection until recently, right?
