If Mitch McConnell is the Grim Reaper, just call Nancy Pelosi the Bubble Buster.
After saying last night that Labor Secretary Alex Acosta should step down over his, um, highly questionable handling of Jeffrey Epstein:
.@SecretaryAcosta must step down. As US Attorney, he engaged in an unconscionable agreement w/ Jeffrey Epstein kept secret from courageous, young victims preventing them from seeking justice. This was known by @POTUS when he appointed him to the cabinet. #AcostaResign

It sounds like she’s not terribly interested in indulging Democrats’ desire to proactively punish him:
.@SpeakerPelosi essentially rules out the House impeaching/investigating @SecretaryAcosta.
"It’s up to the president, it’s his cabinet. We have a great deal of work to do here for the good of the American people and we have to focus on that.”

This is definitely not what the Resistance wants to hear right now.
A lot of people have to be wondering why we worked so hard to elect a Democratic Congress if they aren’t going to use their power.

The "great work" you think you're doing Madam Speaker is not your constitutional duty. Your constitutional duty is to provide oversight for the corruption of our executive branch of government. Failing that, it's time for YOU to step down so that someone else will. #FocusOnThat

Can’t pass any bills, won’t be tough on Trump and @GOP. In other words, incredibly ineffective and inept. This is what people will remember in 2020.

OK Nancy fans? Is it the last straw yet?

We’re enjoying this immensely.
At the rate things are going, Pelosi is going to watch Trump win re-election, and pull a 'Paul Ryan' and retire abruptly, saying 'to hell with this…'.
