Nancy had better come get her stuff before the natives start carting it off.

One of interim US House Speaker Patrick McHenry's first official acts in the temporary role was to oust Nancy Pelosi from her honorary office at the Capitol, while she was away in California to pay tribute to late Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Pelosi, who was dubbed 'Speaker Emerita' by the Democratic Caucus after the party lost its House majority in the 2022 midterms, had retained a coveted hideaway office in the complex.
McHenry, a North Carolina Republican, was appointed acting speaker by his GOP ally Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted from the speaker's chair by a rebel faction of the party on Tuesday.
Although McHenry will only lead the House until a replacement is voted in, he acted swiftly to exercise his new powers by giving Pelosi less than 24 hours to vacate her honorary office.
'Please vacate the space tomorrow, the room will be re-keyed,' a top aide on the Republican-controlled House Administration Committee wrote in an email to Pelosi's office, according to Politico.
he email added that the private office had been re-assigned for 'for speaker office use' and ordered her to vacate the space by Wednesday.
Pelosi blasted the move as 'a sharp departure from tradition' in a statement to Politico, adding that she had given former Speaker Dennis Hastert, a Republican, 'a significantly larger suite of offices for as long as he wished' during her tenure.
'Sadly, because I am in California to mourn the loss of and pay tribute to my dear friend Dianne Feinstein, I am unable to retrieve my belongings at this time,' she said.
Although private offices in the Capitol are fairly common among senators, they are rare and coveted among House lawmakers.

Queen Nazi Pelosi is losing her castle ... Boo Hoo Hoo Boo Hoo Hoo
Love it!
The GOP should call “ Hunks Moving Junk” to remove her belongings to a storage bin and bill it to her House allowance.
And he did NOTHING to help the J 6ers...he refused to release the tapes!
I want to take this moment to give accolades to the 11 GOP lawmakers who voted against the motion to table the effort to oust McCarthy.
The patriotic members that voted against the motion to table McCarthy’s ouster, ensuring the people’s voices are heard:
Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.
Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo.
Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn.
Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz.
Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.
Rep. Bob Good, R-Va.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C.
Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla.
Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont.
Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind.
And to the 216 lawmakers who voted to eject McCarthy from the speakership, ensuring the people’s voices are represented!
That’s right, the deceivers like to say only 8 “rebels” voted against McCarthy, but the truth of the matter is that 216 US representatives voted for his ouster.
Imagine if this had been a vote for Pelosi’s ouster...there would have been a whole lot of RINOs voting to protect her. Those RINOs voted to protect RINO McCarthy. There’s a lot of work yet to be done.
We’re not going to get that work done electing another RINO to the speakership, without mechanisms to hold their feet to the fire.
Pelosi removed the rule that our Republicans reinstated to hold McCarthy’s feet to the fire.
Don’t let that rule be removed again. It works!
I rather like 'Speaker Evita'. It fits.
Pelosi private office was a perk supported by McCarthy
The list. I’m surprised MTG is not on it. What’s up with that? She’s always posturing as a conservative.
No hands allowed.
Nancy had better come get her stuff before the natives start carting it off.
“Pelosi blasted the move as ‘a sharp departure from tradition...”
That’s odd...democrats hate tradition and try to kill it whenever they can.
Thank Gaetz for this.
Her response should be printed out and publicly read, then torn in half.
Isn’t that the office where Hunter kept his other laptop?
I remember when those nasty Democrats kept saying that Trump wasn’t going to leave office peacefully - and they were going to (gleefully) drag him out at gunpoint to get him to leave.
That was all A-OK with the media, who agreed.
“The list. I’m surprised MTG is not on it. What’s up with that? She’s always posturing as a conservative.”

The two became known good friends after Greene was voted/evicted from the House Freedom Caucus because of her unbridled support for McCarthy’s bid to become speaker and her spat with Boebert and her leaking of Freedom Caucus plans and strategies to McCarthy.
Does Pelosi having two offices affect the J6’er convicted of being in her office?
What did she tell prosecutors about J6’ers in her “office?”
Absolutely true and it happens fast. Anybody who has played that game knows that symbols of power mean as much as the power itself. It is also part of the game to send a clear signal that the command has changed. I do not consider myself petty but if the office has been vacated and succession of the stripes were up to me the change would be almost instantaneous.
Knowing how high on a wall a cat can pee says a lot about YOU!!
