Pelosi hasn't even won yet so don't jump the gun. With that said, if she's full behind the CPC agenda, I'd switch my support from Tim Ryan to her but hopefully Hoyer and/or Clyburn get dumped. Hopefully Bustos gets elected to the DCCC as well.

The comment from Tim Ryan seems normal to me. What am I missing here?

Twitter has started some hashtags about this entire thing, none of which good for the userpers.

#ImwithPelosi/#TeamPelosi

and

#fivewhitemen
The five white men being:
Tim Ryan
Seth Moulton
Bill Foster
Kurt Schrader
Ed Perlmutter


Is it really that big of an issue that Tim Ryan is a white male? Or am I too privileged? I hate the base of my party sometimes.

The Red Roses are very angry on Twitter.

Besides his support for charter schools, why are they so angry with him?

That’s enough to be angry over.

Sounds like she is supporting the measure that a bill that has 290 co-sponsors would get a vote on the floor. Which would mean, if it's a 235-200 Democratic majority, it would require 100% of Republicans and 38% of Democrats to get a bill on the floor. Also will allow for votes on amendments if there are 20 co-sponsors from each party.

So if a bill has 289 co-sponsors, it cannot be brought to the floor?

It minimizes the Hastert rule. If 218 democrats want it Pelosi brings it to the floor even if 0 GOP members want it.
Previously even if 200 GOP and 117 dems want it and the 118 dems dont then Pelosi wouldnt bring it

Couldn’t they do a discharge petition anyway?

Okay so this is basically worthless since House Dems usually don’t break with the GOP as often as they do in the Senate.
