I wonder if one tweeter got the info from the other...

I didn't read it was 93 Pelosi fam members, but 93 fam members in general, and 7 Congressvermin. Trying to do a search; this article has very interesting info about Pelosi's use of mil aircraft for travel, but no numbers for this last attempt. I did several searches and read at least 6 or 8 places, no numbers of family members.

Apologies for wall of text - no idea why it did that. Readable version below: I didn't read it was 93 Pelosi fam members, but 93 fam members in general, and 7 Congressvermin.
