I knew it would be close, but I'm honestly kind of shocked Jeffries won over Lee.

The two were rather close ideologically, and both were a part of the CPC, so it seems that the fight was between age(Jeffries being much younger) and loyalty(Lee was a leader of the CPC and is an influential D).

Both are fine in my opinion.

I can see Jeffries being Speaker in the near future maybe even a couple years from now.

Exactly, the Democratic leadership desperately needed (not as much after Jefferies' pick though) at least some youth added to it.

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

That’s enough to be angry over.

Barbara Lee is pretty popular on Rose Twitter for being strongly anti-war.

I was hoping Pelosi wouldnt bother with the Problem Solvers, but oh well.

And also I get the anger, Barbara was more to the Left than Jeffries, especially on stuff like Charter Schools and War, but I really dont see anything to get angered about. It was a Progressive vs a slightly more Progressive.

I've been ignoring the Problem Solvers. What are they trying to get Pelosi to agree to?

Pelosi will probably toss them a bone or two. She doesn't want to embarrass them, they are still part of her caucus after all.

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.
