Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Huh? How does this make any sense?
There's a number of unlisted offices that can be assigned to various people who need them... the complex is large.
And Hoyer wasn't ever Speaker so... ?
I guess offices were left empty since Ryan resigned rather than stay as a Member?
Also blaming the Democratic members for the Republican party pushing through rules that allowed one of their more insane to issue the removal vote, and that it was Republicans that spoke in the debate and then basically removed him...
It's petty madness.
The New GOP in a nutshell.
These offices aren't their actual offices, those are in a different building. These additional spaces have been described as "hideaway" offices, right in the Capitol, where a small group of people can have a quick, private chat while still being close to the House chamber.
I doubt Pelosi was really expecting to keep that space, to be honest. But she was probably not expecting to leave until a new Speaker was chosen. (And it is certainly bad optics to kick her out of the space while she was away at Feinstein's funeral....)
They will straight punch someone in the face, turn around and blame the democrats for it. They even stopped being subtle about it and they don't care because there aren't consequences for their constant lies. As long as their base eats it up and elects them and you know those fox brainwashed fuckers will vote for them no matter what.
