What’s Happening:
Democrats in the House are cheering today because they finally passed their version of Biden’s bloated spending agenda. After months of arguing, conflict, and a brewing party civil war, House Democrats passed the bill. Not a single Republican voted for it.
But this bill is still a long way from becoming law. A version needs to be passed in the Senate, with every Democrat voting on it. There are at least two moderates who have been unwilling to support this massive spending package. And now, something Pelosi slipped into this bill could make it dead in the water.
From The Hill:The social spending bill approved by the House Friday in a 220-213 vote includes the most extensive immigration reform package reviewed by Congress in 35 years…
The parliamentarian, an unelected official who provides counsel on Senate rules, advised the first two Democratic immigration proposals were incompatible with reconciliation, warning they went beyond a budgetary impact and represented a substantial change in policy.
Tuck inside Pelosi’s bloated spending bill are major immigration reforms. These are not budget issues, but significant changes to our immigration laws, including amnesty and other magnets that will draw migrants to our border.
The big problem? Senate Democrats have tried, twice, to put major immigration reform in their version of the spending bill. But the Senate parliamentarian rained on their parade, revealing that those changes cannot be put into a reconciliation bill.
The only reason this bill has a chance of passing in the Senate is because Democrats are exploiting the reconciliation loophole. They can’t get a clean bill through without 60 votes. But a reconciliation budget bill only needs a simple 51 majority.
The parliamentarian made it very clear, twice, that immigration reform has nothing to do with the budget. And so, it cannot be put into a bill that will pass with a simple majority. That puts Democrats in a very bad position.
Senate Democrats can pass Pelosi’s bill if it contains immigration reform. This means, this entire spending bill could be DOA—before the Senate even has a chance to vote on it.
Key Takeaways:
- Pelosi snuck major immigration reform into the bloated spending bill.
- A reconciliation bill in the Senate cannot have immigration changes, as per the parliamentarian.
- Senate Democrats might not be able to vote on the House’s spending bill.

FL broker just spilled that 1%er Nancy Pelosi is buying a beach front mansion in a Republican state - Jupiter Island, FL - reportedly 423 Beach Rd. Curious if she maintains CA residency and still pays all the taxes she endorses for the rest of us.

On November 6, Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene addressed the Speaker’s house shopping.
“Nancy Pelosi went house hunting last week in south Florida. She was actually on my plane. She wants to retire in Florida to enjoy low taxes, mask-free hair salons, and Republican freedom policies, while literally destroying all these good things for the American people,” she said.

And the news of her new home comes as rumor about her possible retirement have been the talk of Washington, DC.
The 81-year-old Speaker has hinted that she may retire before the 2022 midterm elections and now she may make good on it, CNN reported.
After taking back the House in 2018, Nancy Pelosi called herself “a bridge to the next generation of leaders” and agreed to a deal: she’d serve again as speaker for no more than four years.
Time is now ticking — and no one knows what Pelosi will do in 2022.
Confidantes of the 81-year-old speaker reject any rumors she might quit before the end of this Congress, saying doing so would only embolden Republicans and undercut her ability to raise millions to save her party’s imperiled majority. She has yet to say if she will mount a reelection bid next year, though her campaign continues to raise millions in case she runs for the seat she’s held since 1987.
While Pelosi has previously indicated that this is her last term as speaker, she hasn’t completely shut the door quite yet, fueling speculation she could ultimately seek to prolong her 18-year tenure ruling the House Democratic caucus.
“Everyone assumes this is her last term, but no one knows for sure,” one of the confidantes said to CNN. “People don’t realize how hard it was to win (the speaker’s race) last time.”
But the source said they do not believe she would retire before the 2022 midterms.
“If she left early, she would be blamed for losing the House,” they said. “She doesn’t want to look like a loser.”
New York Democrat Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is seen by many as the heir apparent to Pelosi, but he is not speculating.
“I’ll let the drama, in terms of internal House dynamics, exist over on the Republican side of the aisle,” he said. “We have a tremendous speaker, one speaker at a time, and we all stand strongly behind her.”
Virginia Democrat Rep. Abigail Spanberger said she voted against Pelosi for speaker two times and would do so again if she attempted to be Speaker again in 2023.
“If that’s the case, I’ll be three for three,” she said. “She’s previously said that this would be her last term as speaker so I suspect that she would stick to that. But since 2018, I think I’ve been consistent on the fact that I think we really need new voices spreading the word.
New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the leaders of the progressives in Congress, appears to want to move on from Pelosi.
“I feel like just the history of the party overall has been to almost sideline progressive priorities, racial justice priorities, priorities for the working class, health care, et cetera,” she said to CNN. “And I don’t think that any selection of leadership should ever be a de facto thing.”
“So it’s not just about an individual person,” she said. “It’s about: Who is our caucus? What is the moment? And what is the alignment at that time.”
