Nancy Pelosi fretted during a meeting with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that "Abolish ICE" had been "injected into American political discourse by the Russians," the book says.
Pelosi had to actually pass legislation so she needed every vote by hook or by crook, and AOC was among the crowd that needed to be cajoled often.
Jeffries has only been in leadership as the minority leader so he can just oppose most legislation from the Republican House, and it’s not like AOC is going to want to somehow oppose it even harder. He doesn’t need to do the cajoling.
There is no retirement for a lot of people, probably especially rich people. It’s not about the money, it’s about the job being their main identity. Charlie Munger was a 99 year old billionaire who was still working at Berkshire Hathaway when he died.

I have to agree. I am not a fan of Pelosi, but she was effective (so long as what she was doing was makingbthr right people money).
I really don’t get why she is running again though. Guess she wants to keep getting that juicy inside info for her stock portfolio.
