A shame she left of her own accord rather than through being toppled. An absolute disaster for progressive politics. Maybe her replacement will actually fight to make people’s lives better rather than line her own pockets

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not seek reelection
A shrewd political strategist, California Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had an unprecedented career in Congress. First elected in a special election in 1987, Pelosi went on to become one of the most effective leaders of the Democratic party.

The narrative seems to be(come) that the Dutch election shows a “comeback of the political center”. We have seen this frame before, implying “the center” has an ideological substance and is stable. But “the center” keeps moving right on mostly nativist, but also often authoritarian, issues.
