Give that lady her gavel BACK!
And just to make it sweeter: Paul Ryan, the Great White Hope, leaves office with a 12% approval rating.
NDP! NDP! NDP! Nancy D’Alesandro Pelosi!
That was a nail biter of a vote process.
We’re at a park, and I just told my granddaughter all about Speaker Pelosi, the only woman to ever hold the position. And she’s from San Francisco! But even better, she’s one of the best House leaders we’ve ever had.
Historic and important moment for an almost seven-year-old. So cool!

Nan-cy! Nan-cy! Nan-cy! [repeat into terrifying roar of vengeance]
TPM is determined not to be scooped on this one.
Wilson (218) reportedly put Pelosi over
They are confirming to vote with the 4 tellers picked from the 2 parties. Clerk just announced.
A wonderful, huge sigh of relief kinda day.
Way to go Nancy! Those freshmen that voted present or against her have a lot to learn and it’s too bad they couldn’t have been totally united in a system they know nothing about.
Congratulations Speaker Pelosi!
Rep. Frederica Wilson? That’s awesome!
I am a half in and half out viewer on this. I appreciate the aggressive desire for change. I also feel that that sense of unity in this age is needed. My normal view is everyone can learn from each other. The people need a sense of stability and the progressive side needs to temper themselves just a bit.
that was the report.
O sweeet! hahahahahahahahahaha
Welcome home, Madame Speaker. You have no idea how relieved I am.
Nancy Pelosi, raising to the mantle…
Best wishes, Speaker Pelosi, for beginning to repair the severe damage Trump and his GOP henchmen are inflicting on America and the world.
