Besides being known for her career in politics, Nancy Pelosi is has also made headlines with her investing moves—so much so that there is an X social media account dedicated to tracking her moves. ...
Pelosi, along with her husband, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi, has an estimated net worth of more than $240 million as of late July, based on price movement of stocks in her portfolio as calculated by alternative stock data platform Quiver Quantitative. ...
Pelosi has been a member of the House of Representatives since 1987. Over her decades in Congress, Pelosi helped pass legislation such as the Affordable Care Act, the American Rescue Plan, the Equality Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and more.
As Speaker of the House, Pelosi earned $223,500 annually. Now as a member of Congress, she earns $174,000 per year. Pelosi also will receive a pension and Social Security benefits once she retires. The pension value for members of Congress can be up to 80% of a member's final salary, coming out to about $139,200 a year currently.
Pelosi: Jeffrey Epstein Story Is a ‘Harmful’ ‘Distraction’
Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has dismissed growing concerns about the case of Jeffrey Epstein as nothing more than a “distraction.”
According to Pelosi, the push for transparency on the case is “harmful.”
Pelosi made the claims during a Thursday interview on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports.”
What if —and I am just wondering here— what if the Administration is securing DC before it makes a really controversial move? Like arresting someone near the top of the political food chain?
Suppose you were planning something like that, and you wanted to preclude the otherwise inevitable violent protests in the Nation’s Capital. What better way to prepare than in advance by loading up DC with military, national guard, FBI, and tons of other resources under direct federal control, that might otherwise seem like overkill to handle a few mobs of unruly teenage gangsters?
(Obviously, the useless Metro Police wouldn’t be any help. They’d wave through those kinds of protests. They’d never ever shut them down, citing the First Amendment and the right to protest, however “mostly peaceful.” Hence, a surge of federal law enforcement.)
What Trump has rolled out —800 National Guardsmen, plus FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals, and even Park Police, all under centralized federal command— is massive overkill for routine street crime. It’s also expensive: you’re paying for deployments, per diems, temporary billets, and operational integration of multiple agencies. ...
If you were about to make a move on someone high enough up the political food chain to ignite instant unrest, you wouldn’t wait until the crowd was already forming at Union Station. You’d flood the zone first — National Guard, FBI, DEA, ATF, all under a single federal command — so that when the real shoe does drop, the perimeter is already sealed and the city’s protest infrastructure is choked off before it can even get started.
Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is reportedly preparing to retire from Congress at the end of her current term, marking the end of nearly four decades in office and two historic stints as Speaker of the House.
According to an NBC News report, multiple Democratic Party sources say Pelosi, 85, plans to announce her retirement after Tuesday’s elections.
The news has left Democrats bracing for a major shift in leadership.
But Axios noticed the deliciously ironic fact that last year, Pelosi “played a central role in pushing then-President Biden off the Democratic presidential ticket due to his age and fitness to run.”
President Trump spoke plainly, starting with praise. “I think she did the country a great service by retiring,” Trump said. “I think she was a tremendous liability for the country. I thought she was an evil woman who did a poor job, who cost the country a lot in damages and in reputation. I thought she was terrible.” Well. Maybe not that much praise.
