It's impossible to overstate just how good Nancy Pelosi is at her job.

[Bleacher Creature]

Seriously, I can't even put it into words. She's easily the best legislator of my lifetime, and probably one of the greatest of all time.

Just wow. And that's not taking anything away from Biden, but Pelosi just keeps pulling rabbits out of a hat.

[Cha]

1. I'm in Awe! TIY!

[cilla4progress]

2. Exactly.

As a woman, I am SO proud!!!

[LonePirate]

3. Pelosi is good at passing things but she also killed BBB tonight. ConservaDems can now vote No on it

[Hortensis]

5. Gee, if ONLY you'd gotten a message to her.

Heartbreaking to see this and realize, she doesn't know yet!

6. I'm sure she knows. That was just a flowery speech for the press.

I'm sure she personally supports a very large BBB. However the conservatives in her caucus along with Manchin and Sinema have no interest in the bill and she just abandoned any leverage she had over them.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. You are brave for stating a differing opinion. Hope any

Leverage we had isn't gone too

[OnDoutside]

22. As the old saying goes, expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed !

I share many of your fears that the Progressives will be stabbed in the back again, but I have a lot of faith in Pelosi, and that's what I am taking forward, especially Jayapal clearly trusts here.

[dchill]

18. The BOSS!

[awesomerwb1]

14. "Conservadems". Is that your favorite word now?

Over and over and over.

[OnDoutside]

23. How would you describe them ?

[Hoyt]

4. Speaker must be immune to stress that kills much younger people.

[spooky3]

16. And require only 3 hours of sleep per night. Nt

[Sogo]

7. + 1000000000000000000000

Nancy’s the BEST!!!

[Budi]

8. K & R Thank You Speaker Pelosi

Because Pelosi lives by the rule, 'count the votes'.
Nothing is brought to the floor unless she has the votes.

Biden & Pelosi knew earlier today, when the final yes vote was secured.
Biden made the announcement & Pelosi called the House to order.

It came swift, by the book, and it wss DONE.

THAT IS HOW SPEAKER PELOSI RUNS HER HOUSE.

Congrats! 💙

Madam Speaker & her House Democrats, President Biden & their dedicated staff, will all sleep peacefully tonight.

Beautifully accomplished. WOW.

[pandr32]

9. Simply the best!

Better than all the rest!

[spicysista]

10. I'm still down with NDP!

We are truly lucky to have her!

[mahina]

11. Fully concur.

She is a force to be…I was going to say reconed with but instead let’s say she is a force to be mentored by, emulated by Democrats, surrendered to by fascists.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

12. Speaker Pelosi's determination and negotiating skills got us the bill.

[grantcart]

13. Yep

[BadgerMom]

15. 💯

[regnaD kciN]

19. If "good" is partnering with Republicans to sell the BBB down the river...

...while giving the finger to progressive Democrats, then, yeah, then she's the greatest evah!

[leftstreet]

20. +1

can't believe anyone is celebrating this

Sacrificing Biden's social spending in the BBB for a watered down bill that gives private contractors tons of $$ and allocates less in 10 yrs than the military will get in 1 year.

The midterms are gone

[Hortensis]

24. How can anyone think that? Don't you know Pelosi created

the house version of the BBB, more than any other single individual, though almost every member of the house put their own hearts and dreams into it? Rumors have said she may retire and could leave happily with it safely passed.

Some other few, though, instead of standing united against Republican saboteurs, are obstructing by drawing on the strength of the Republicans for their leverage. Remember them? McConnell's opposition, blocked without help from Democratic side, is empowering their efforts, including by those being called the Sabotage Squad even by progressive media.

It really doesn't matter whether this little group within the CPC do it only for ideals or also for personal ambition, they're hurting the American people who need this bill and they're fighting Pelosi and all the rest of their progressive Democratic colleagues to do it.

Remember: "Don't just listen to what they say, examine what they do."

[honest.abe]

25. I hope all those criticizing Pelosi will be back here apologizing..

when the BBB passes in a couple of weeks.

26. Analysis: Nancy Pelosi is the most effective speaker ever

Nancy is amazing

Link to tweet

With the House vote to approve President Joe Biden's $1 trillion infrastructure package late Friday night, Pelosi has accomplished something else: She is now, without doubt, the most effective -- and impactful speaker in the last seven decades.....

And, even if the larger package doesn't make it to the finish line, consider that what Pelosi was able to get through the House on Friday night amounts to the single largest public works program since Dwight Eisenhower started the interstate transit system.

That's just what Pelosi has done during the Biden presidency to date. It's to say nothing of her work to pass the Affordable Care Act under President Barack Obama, the largest overhaul of the country's health care system in decades -- and one that has withstood a series of legal challenges over its now-decade-plus of existence. She also can claim Dodd-Frank financial reform, repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act under her time as speaker.

There is simply no other speaker who can rival that list of major policy accomplishments. And what Pelosi has done is made all the more remarkable by the fact that she has done so with decidedly narrow majorities which leave her almost no wiggle room in complex, multi-layered negotiations between warring factions within the party.

It's a remarkable legacy that, whether you like or hate Pelosi and her politics, you have to marvel at. There has simply never been someone better at the job of speaker than Nancy Pelosi.
