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.

        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).

      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:

      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.

        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.

      What is this sentence trying to say?
