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.

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.
It's why the news treats a man tripping on a sand bag with the same importance as someone trying to start world war III.
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
😂😂😂😂😂😂
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.
Rofl pull the other one, dumbass
Obama is actually a conservative...this is almost as stupid as Jewish space lasers
The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican - Obama

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.
