As one of his first acts as the acting speaker, Rep. Patrick McHenry
ordered former Speaker Nancy Pelosi to vacate her Capitol hideaway
office by Wednesday, according to an email sent to her office viewed
by POLITICO.
“Please vacate the space tomorrow, the room will be re-keyed,” wrote
a top aide on the Republican-controlled House Administration
Committee. The room was being reassigned by the acting speaker “for
speaker office use,” the email said.

:)McHenry is breaking with House tradition in doing so. With Pelosi out of town for Feinstein's funeral, he's being performatively petty.
McCarthy is now the "preceding speaker" thanks to Nancy and co.
So the dumb bitch booted herself. It's great.
Witlessmoron is drunk on MAGA Kool-Aid again.
Sounds like the setup for a joke...

It's according to the rules of Nancy.
“Look the deal is that the office that Pelosi is in right now is the
office of the preceding speaker. Speaker Pelosi and other Democrats determined that they wanted a new … speaker, and it’s Kevin McCarthy.
So, he’s getting the office,”

So the dumb bitch booted herself. It's great.The majority party chooses the Speaker. The minority party doesn't.
And "dumb bitch" is quite the description for someone who could deliver
with a five-vote majority.

When you have to borrow from AOC, you're toast.
I enjoyed watching a dem strategist speculating that Pelosi and Co.
really f'd up on this. His position was this....McCarthy kept the
gov't open. Something democrats have long been declaring their top
priority. McCarthy did that in bipartisan fashion. But still they
decide to vote with Gaetz and co. to take him out in some bizarre
political war mentality. Now how will they feel about a Jim Jordan
taking the reigns as consequence of their vote? Consider....they
could have saved McCarthy by merely giving a few "present votes". He
joked that it's not that hard to press the yellow button in the
middle. Imagine a Republican speaker so damaged and only keeping his
seat due to dems? But dems couldn't see the political value in that.
How about having Trump serve a few months in the Speaker's chair? You
think they might have some regrets for making that possible?

, but to address his
point, it would be unprecedented for the minority party to support the majority speaker,
especially in the absence of a power-sharing deal.
McCarthy reportedly refused to negotiate with Democrats and if he were really counting on Pelosi to bail him out, he shouldn't have scheduled
the vote for when she was out of town.
If anything, the Democrats have supported the imagined moderate
Republican wings for too long.
If Republicans wish to help Democrats keep the government open and functioning, it's time for them to support a Speaker Jeffries.
And that is why we have dysfunctional gov't. The two party system is collapsing
and becoming incapable of actual governing.

Not as dubious as I am of your unsourced private Politico
eavesdropping BS.

As he said....they didn't even have to support him. Just not
unanimously join with Gaetz in removing him.

Will they end up in a worse situation? Looks very possible if not
likely.

Why is she out of town when congress is imploding?
There's no excuse or that. There was ample warning.
