1. The amazing Pelosi - no one is better than she is at her job. Nt

[malaise]

3. Simply the best

and by a distance

[PortTack]

2. Love love love madam speaker!! She knows how to work it

[FalloutShelter]

4. Mme Speaker! YOU ROCK THE HOUSE!!!!!

You are the best House Speaker in history!

[lagomorph777]

5. Now, can she work with Schumer to do something about Manchin and Sinema?

This bill could make a huge difference in the midterms.

Of course, it would also be really nice to save democracy with the two voting rights bills.

[underpants]

6. It already passed the Senate I thought.

[lagomorph777]

7. No, I believe that was the $1T bipartisan package. This is the $3.5T Reconciliation package

(Dems only).

[Lovie777]

9. Thanks, I didn't know that .....

[WHITT]

10. The Speaker

merely has to modify one line in the bill, and it has to return to the Senate for another vote, giving Schumer the premise for combining the votes on both bills.

[lagomorph777]

12. Interesting...can you elaborate any?

Those Senate rules are so freaking arcane...

[underpants]

14. That would be a Reconciliation which only needs 50+1

I think.

[WHITT]

17. That's Basically It

The Speaker can change one line, pass that in the House, then it has to return to the Senate for another vote, because technically it's a different bill.

As to Schumer combining the two bills in one vote, I'll be watching with great fascination.

[MichMan]

19. Doesn't that also mean if the Senate changes any of it, it has to return back to the House?

[lagomorph777]

21. I suppose so, but I don't think these little edits would be surprises.

They would have been worked out behind closed doors.

[WHITT]

27. They Could Do What The Repubs Do

when they have the majority, just ram it through with no amendments, but more likely Schumer will do a vote-a-rama, but the progressives aren't going to vote for anything the Repubs want, or Manchin and Sinema for that matter, so it should remain intact.

Either Schumer, or whoever is advising him, has tremendous understanding of the Senate rules. To get the Parliamentarian to agree to three reconciliation bills in one calendar year (two per fiscal year) was mind-blowing.

[Wounded Bear]

34. I think if the rules are followed, the vote-a-rama is required for reconciliation...

not that McConnell would follow the rules, but Schumer probably will.

[lagomorph777]

20. Seems like a risky Hail Mary, but I dunno, could be some merit to it...

[Fla Dem]

25. And of coursre that's why she has been firm about passing both bills at the same time.

She's been playing the long game.

Nancy Pelosi WILL go down as the best Speaker of the House in history!.

[Trailrider1951]

8. Nancy Pelosi is a national treasure

Madame Speaker, you have my undying gratitude. Many many Americans will benefit from this bill, and the republicans can go pound sand!

[Kingofalldems]

11. Doomsday trolls:

"Curses! Foiled again!"

[WHITT]

13. Speaker "The Hammer" Pelosi

Don't mess with Nancy.

[SKKY]

15. Nancy Pelosi is a Boss.

[budkin]

16. Great news!

Go Nancy!

[cilla4progress]

18. LBJ level negotiating skills

Leave it to a WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cha]

22. Rt TY & Nancy!

[Jerry2144]

23. I wish we can have her

As speaker for the next 20 years. And if not, then coach, train, guide, and lead the next Speaker from or up and coming young leaders. She’s a real talent and I hope her abilities, leadership, and sheepdogging of the caucus can be learned

[monkeyman1]

24. Nancy made the TFG look so stupid , which is is not hard to do !!

[FakeNoose]

26. Thank you Speaker Pelosi!

Time to put on those hot sunglasses.

[WinstonSmith4740]

28. Of course she did.

And in less than a day. The woman rocks.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

29. I hear right wing heads exploding

[ZonkerHarris]

30. She may be the best politician in American history.

[WheelWalker]

31. Fuck term limits.

33. I believe she is.

I always that Sam Rayburn was the epitome of tactful power, but Ms. Pelosi takes the cake (and the silver ware, too).
