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:
“Office space doesn’t matter to me, but it seems to be important to them,” she said. “Now that the new Republican Leadership has settled this important matter, let’s hope they get to work on what’s truly important for the American people.”
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).
"All corporations are inherently right wing… I mean, unless it's like a worker cooperative run exclusively by sternum piercing bisexuals, but no, all corporations are inherently right wing at least in an economic sense." -Hassan Piker (Turkish-American Twitch Steamer and Political Commentator)
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.

They have to get the article out first for SEO or else some other news source will do actual reporting and become the top result.
Endshitification and the algorithms driving it have ruined so many things… Gotta be the first, no one reads, just need a clicky headline and a couple pictures.
Enshitification implies the mainstream media once had a respectable platform. I honestly can't think of a time outside of "newspaper" that the mainstream outlets weren't shitty, especially if we are just talking online. I guess NPR holds strong but they aren't falling behind or anything. BBC maybe? If it isn't a complete snooze fest.
Newspapers have always been more or less shitty. Yellow journalism started a whole war in 1898. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_propaganda_of_the_Spanish–American_War
now even the newspapers are ass i only trust what i see with my own two eyes i tell ya
American media is legitimately just extremely unreliable. British, Chinese, Russian, French, German, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian sources all got the detail that the recent Indian moon mission landed near the South Pole, but most American media picked up that they had somehow landed on the South Pole and put that in their titles.
They were 21 degrees of latitude off, for reference.
Now this has me curious. What's considered "the pole"? Is it literally the line coming out from exactly center (or whatever relative features for the specific shape of the moon)? Or if you're within like 10 ft can you say you landed there? How far off can you be and still be on the pole?
Usually people would consider within a few degrees (1? 2? Certainly less than 5) to be an acceptable margin, but the pole itself is a well-defined point along the axis of rotation.
The American language is reductive to the point of being inaccurate or at worse, downright wrong. Born from this nature is the reason they use the phrase "deplane" whereas the rest of the world uses "disembark".
I have never heard anyone use the word deplane before I read your comment. I've heard disembark plenty, but it's a little formal usually it's just get your ass off the plane.
Well, are you on a plane or a boat?
sorry did you say something about US?/s 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 our military is already in your nation bro 😎😏😔 /s
i did not know india had a space program until i read youe comment thanl you kindly
So what do we know about McHenry so far? He's a petty little bitch.
McHenry is a piece of shit. Also he was running campaign ads on YouTube back in June, fucking 11 months before the primary.
In other words an appropriate avatar for the GOP in Congress.
But if they kick her out, whose office are they going to vandalize when the next January 6th happens?
They’re just going to have so smear poop in every congressional office just in case one is Nancy’s
Implying these guys knew where they were going or anyone in the building. Trump is the only one they can reliably identify.
She tried to give the laptop to russians? Why isn't she in jail for ESPIONAGE?!?!?!?!
They also tried to attack some of the Republicans though. It's easy to know Pelosi by name even for them and her office must be identified, I bet most wouldn't be able to tell it's her if they crossed her on the street.
What an asshole, there is no way 1 day warning is reasonable. Republicans are a bunch of sociopaths.
While she is in California attending a funeral of a longtime colleague.
A fellow Senator, no less.
He also doesn't have the authority. He's not Speaker of the House. His one and only duty is to chair the meetings to elect a new Speaker.
She should definitely leave some seafood in the heating vents.
The North Carolina GOP have sort of flown under the radar but are busy passing unconstitutional laws and usurping power following Donald Trumps playbook. These fascists are not hiding what they’re doing, and if they’re given complete control they will be scrolling through the rise of nazism Wikipedia page to see what they should do next.
If it's the office with the shit on the desk she should let him have it…
It took me too long to realize that this wasn’t a shit post about the dead senator
I thought she retired, why does she have an office? Or was that just as speaker but she's still in Congress?
Yes, she only retired as speaker, she's still a regular member of Congress.
