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.

Dems don’t have the same expansive network of propaganda machinery backing them up no matter what like Republicans do. Don’t get me wrong dems are still wholeheartedly a capitalist political party but they aren’t working the shaft and fondling the balls of the capitalist class nearly as much as the republican party is and it show in the ability to get messaging out.
Rep Jim McGovern has expressed some concerns about the validity of all this:
how would he know?

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.

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.
Obamacare aka Affordable Care Act was written by Newt Gingrich
Uh. No.
Yet, in an odd twist of history, it was Newt Gingrich, one of the most conservative speakers of the House, who laid out the blueprint for the Affordable Care Act as early as 1993.
Well that’s great, good for him. I mean that seriously. He also wrote a novel about the Civil War. Guess what that blueprint and his novel have in common?
I had an idea for reusable rockets when I was six. Where’s my royalty check?
That’s not great. It shows that Obama and the Dems are actually conservatives that want to prevent universal healthcare. If you read the article that is the main reason Gingrich came up with this in the first place.
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.
Has to be bots boosting his comment. Literally no one thinks the Dems are fierce after decades of failure to improve conditions of the poor.
“Dems have shown… …it’s never really shown”
What is this sentence trying to say?
Democrats have demonstrated… but it’s never in the mainstream media.

It was pretty clear in the original. I think SaakoPaahtaa is more likely the one with ESL issues.
The edited version does flow better.
I mean homeboy kicked her like a bad habit in the first day, it’s not like it was weeks of a grueling ordeal. Dude straight up dgaf and I’m here for it. “Oh, that nuisance still has an office here? Gone. Next?” Man’s coming in hot like Ari Gold.

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”.
Well, are you on a plane or a boat?
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.
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
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.
