For John, BLUF: I caught the last portuon of her decision speech to the House at noon this day. She was refined and generous, towering over the President and Vice President. Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is the lede plus two:
With the balance of power in Congress in question through the 2022 midterm election season, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) declined to speculate on her future. Now that Republicans have secured a House majority, Pelosi announced that she will not seek re-election to leadership among the Democratic caucus.There is no doubt that Ms Pelosi has been an historic figure in American hisory. Here tenure as Speaker alone is enough for the record books. On top of that are her accomplishments as Speaker.Pelosi has led the Democrats in the House since 2003 and is one of the longest-serving leaders in either party. She first ascended to House Speaker in 2007, and she served until 2011, when Republicans took a majority. When the Democrats achieved a majority eight years later, she became Speaker of the House again.
“After leading the Democrats for the last two decades, the House Speaker announced Thursday that she will step down next year from her spot at the top of the party, closing a momentous run for the most powerful woman in U.S. history while clearing the way for a younger generation of up-and-coming lawmakers to climb into the leadership ranks,” writes Mike Lillis at The Hill.
On the other hand, she is pretty petty when it comes to Republicans
