Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...

's $550 billion infrastructure bill originally planned for Thursday. It's a major setback for Democrats as moderate and progressive feuds deepened over Biden's domestic agenda.
The vote was yanked after it became obvious that House Democratic leaders didn't have enough support to clear the bill and send it to Biden's desk. Despite a three-vote margin of error in the 220-212 chamber, Pelosi had predicted success and tried brushing aside the sizable hurdles before her.
"I'm only envisioning taking it up and winning it," she said at a Thursday presser, adding, "you cannot tire, you cannot concede. This is the fun part."
House Democrats were advised that a vote could be rescheduled on Friday. The White House said Congressional Democrats would continue trying to resolve their wide-ranging differences as they negotiated a larger social spending bill capable of drawing support across the party.

...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job...said in a statement. "But we are not there yet, and so, we will need some additional time to finish the work, starting tomorrow morning first thing."
The blow to Biden's agenda comes as progressives launched a full revolt after the California Democrat decoupled the bipartisan infrastructure bill from passage of the larger $3.5 trillion social spending plan earlier this week. The latter measure is aimed at ensuring tuition-free community college, affordable childcare, Medicare and Medicaid expansion, and a renewal of the child allowance among other measures.
