Is there any more context to this? Does "we" refer to the House?

Pelosi needs to pass the stimulus checks, consumers are hurting, Trump said he would sign the stand alone 1200 stimulus, she will release it after the election anyways, Trump and Rs aren't gonna agree to the Heroes Act in a lame duck session even if Trump loses and politicians would want to go home for Xmas by agreeing to an Omnibus bill

The President contracted a severe, potentially fatal illness and is currently exhibiting delirium and mania.

This is just proper risk management.

She is gonna be Speaker again, but making consumers wait on the stimulus checks until the election while Act blue asks for donations is a horrific idea

Wonder if this is in response to Trump ordering Barr to indict Biden.

That's not the best idea politically.

Honestly this is something that should have been done a long time ago.

There is a significant case to make the 25th should be invoked, but this won't go anywhere. Unfortunately, Pence and the cabinet don't have the guts to go ahead.

This is a good idea, but the Vice President would still have to agree with the panel’s recommendations to invoke the 25th, so it still wouldn’t necessarily work in a situation where the VP was too spineless to act.

This is mostly to get under Trump's skin.

Probably trying to provoke additional deranged ramblings that they can then use to attack him.

Somewhat out of character for him, Trump has retweeted a Newsweek correspondent saying that it is "not a coup" to invoke the 25th amendment:

Trump Derangement Syndrome runs rampant among the House Democrats.

Any move on the "25th Amendment" instead of the stimulus bill is going to cost the Democrats. It seems that the Democrats are uniquely talented to snatch defeat from the jaws of the victory.

This seems like the dumbest possible thing to do less than a month from the election. But I'd be shocked if House Dem leadership wasn't doing something stupid at any given moment.

I bet there is some damning info she knows that the general public doesn't. Nancy Pelosi doesn't do stunts.

Nah. As usual Nancy's crazy like a fox. She's setting up a procedure to set up a commission to review when a president should be incapacitated and removed via the 25th Amendment due to medical and psychological problems. She's not trying to invoke it against Trump directly. However, it's very clearly and loudly sends the message that Trump is the reason behind it and helps to focus attention on the fact that he is physically and mentally degenerating in a downward spiral more akin to a kamikaze pilot. If she plays her cards right it just might create enough fire and outrage from Trump and his sycophants that it helps amplify the ongoing media story about Trump losing it.

People have tried to portray Trump as a 4D chess player when he can't even managed Checkers adequately. Nancy's the Real Genius here.

This is so they can get rid of Biden once they get tired of him.

Trumpists have been claiming this all year and haven't been right yet. Everything is claimed to be great for Trump.

Trump really messed up pretty badly to be losing despite the Democrat's idiocy.
