Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday said the newly named interim speaker, GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, has ordered her to vacate her office in the Capitol building.
She does maintain her regular office in the Cannon House office building.
An email sent from McHenry’s office to Pelosi’s office just after 6 p.m. Tuesday evening that was viewed by CNN, stated, “Going to reassign h-132 for speaker office use. Please vacate the space tomorrow.”
Pelosi said in a statement that she was not in Washington, DC, to immediately move her belongings.
A better headline would be what she said in response:
Dems have
showndemonstrated absurdly good communication skills, but somehow, it's never reallyshowngiven proper attention. Like, seriously, just watch this clip show of young Dems destroying Republicans last week: https://youtu.be/v6VZIjBLcyU?si=H9TuL2aRF9PM0vpYDems are fucking fierce, man.
Edit: Reworded a sentence to make it more clear.
Because the media even left leaning sites seems to focus only on what the GOP says.
Shock value and controversy sell clicks/views/engagement. It’s all any media does anymore and it’s annoying as crap.
This is what happens when your incentive structure doesn't reward actual proper journalism.
That's because of 2 main factors: (1) They are almost all owned by large corporations - yes, even the "left learning ones" - and corporate ownership always imparts a right wing bias simply because the people in charge are wealthy and want to only get richer (it's basic self-interest); and (2) Right-wingers "take the bait" faster and more widely, which translates to more views, more ad revenue, etc. (see #1).

Might as well have quoted my own asshole
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rep Jim McGovern has expressed some concerns about the validity of all this:
how would he know?
Man, I love professionals who know their stuff.
There's no money in signal boosting democrats, even the more establishment ones. Wait for Manchen to say something self-serving about corporations, then you'll hear about it.

Well, then give them a house majority and a veto proof Senate majority. The last time they had that (for a whole 72 days), they immediatly passed Obamacare.
Oh, and did I mention that every time the minimum wage was raised, it was done by Democrats (21 times) or because dems forced this as a concession from republicans (2 times)?
Fucking THIS, people. You can moan all you want about the Dems not getting stuff done, but unless you acknowledge that, oh wait, they actually DO when they have a majority that ALLOWS them to do it, you're just adding to the static. Politicians still have to work within the political system they're a part of.
And how do they do that without a strong majority in the branches of government?? Magic?
Exactly what part of that do you consider to have the sole purpose of hurting someone's feelings? Cause that's what catty means. I think it was damn good for a Congress who's been hamstrung by gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisment, and voter apathy. You want those things to come to pass? Get Republicans out of office.
