It was reported at the time. I think the Capitol Police was understandably trying to explain why this was not an oversight on their part (they are detailed to protect Nancy, not Paul or their home).

ok, but be honest...you knew it before the public report, right?


I don't know nothin' bout nothin'.

A dude of Paul Pelosi's net worth probably should have private security tho.

on this we agree

The Pelosis had every right to complain about the police response, which would have cleared up some of the early reporting. That dispatcher transcript was atrocious and selectively leaked to make Paul Pelosi seem like an unreliable narrator as opposed to clearly under distress.

I'm a big Sinema stan, but she's drifted so far away from self-awareness it's over for her.

Exactly. The legally blonde act needs to be over for her, she vibes like she is about to start filming tiktoks on the Senate floor.

She’s like if Madonna French kissed Brittney Spears at the MTV Awards and then a baby was born and it grew up to be faux-libertarian.

So thirsty to be viewed as sexually complicated and socially influential. Unclear where Portia del Rossi ends and Sinema begins.

Apparently MTG doesn’t really know what “seized” means.

Ugh, sorry. It’s really hard to tell without easing hundreds of comments

WASHINGTON, May 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden and top congressional Republican Kevin McCarthy are closing in on a deal that would raise the government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling for two years while capping spending on most items, a U.S. official told Reuters.

The deal, which is not final, would increase funding for discretionary spending on military and veterans while essentially holding non-defense discretionary spending at current year levels, the official said, who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak about internal discussions.

For the second time this week, House Republicans on Thursday failed to start debate on a key military funding bill after five conservative rebels blocked the measure over demands for additional spending cuts.

The defeat marked yet another public embarrassment for Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Republicans as Washington barrels toward a government shutdown.

The vote was 212-216. The Republicans who voted no were Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia; Dan Bishop of North Carolina; Matt Rosendale of Montana; and Andy Biggs and Eli Crane, both of Arizona. Rules Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., later switched his vote to no, a procedural move that will allow him to bring the bill up again.

Thursday's vote came after House Republicans had reported significant progress following a more than two-hour "family meeting" in the basement of the Capitol on Wednesday evening. McCarthy and others had hoped that a successful vote on the military bill would hand Republicans some momentum to pass a short-term funding bill to avert a government shutdown slated for Oct. 1.

After hours of discussion in that meeting, McCarthy had pitched a new strategy for House Republicans in the funding fight.

Caving to demands of the hard-right rebels, the speaker agreed to move a one-month, short-term government funding bill, known as a continuing resolution or CR, with a topline funding level of $1.471 trillion — much lower than the Senate’s CR, according to lawmakers leaving the meeting. House Republicans will need to pass something that can also get through the Democratic-controlled Senate and earn President Joe Biden's signature before midnight on Sept. 30 to avoid a shutdown.

Some Republicans doubted McCarthy's new approach would work. Vocal McCarthy foe, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., told his colleagues in Wednesday's meeting that there were seven GOP no votes for any CR, enough to tank it, though conservative Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., and others pushed back on Gaetz's math.

"I am not voting for a CR. I am not voting for a CR," Gaetz told reporters.
