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.

    CNN, did McHenry order Pelosi to vacate or not? Here’s an idea, do about 7 minutes of investigative journalism and find out one way or the other, then make a definitive statement in your headline instead of hedging with 'Pelosi says this thing happened, but who knows? We report, you decide!" So lazy/cowardly.

      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.

      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.
