Pelosi should’ve never picked a fight with Donald Trump.
A Republican lawmaker has introduced a bill to allow President Donald Trump the opportunity to sell a federal building named after former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Rep. Buddy Carter of Georgia has proposed the “Stop Wasteful Allocations of Money for Pelosi” (SWAMP) Act, which would require the General Services Administration (GSA) to either dispose of or sell the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building in San Francisco. The bill specifies that the building should be sold “at fair market value and for the highest and best use.”
This proposal is part of a wider effort by House Republicans to turn President Trump’s priorities into legislative action, seeking to make his executive orders permanent. The goal is to curb wasteful government spending, reduce the national debt, and increase fiscal responsibility across federal programs.
“We are drowning in over $36 trillion of debt,” Carter explained. “Rather than maintaining expensive, underutilized buildings that serve no real purpose other than vanity projects for liberal politicians, we should focus on making government more efficient and accountable to the American people.”
The Pelosi Federal Building, located in San Francisco, is an 18-story facility that hosts several federal agencies, including the Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Social Security Administration, along with Pelosi’s district office. Despite its green design and environmentally conscious construction, the building has faced issues related to the surrounding area’s decline and rising criminal activity, leading many to question its utility.
While the GSA has stated that the proposed sale is based on reducing costs and improving the government’s real estate holdings, rather than political motivations, conservatives view this as a practical step toward reducing waste. Former President Trump had previously referred to the building as one of the “ugliest structures” in San Francisco, signaling his belief that it should be sold off for the benefit of taxpayers.
This bill is part of a larger movement to streamline government spending and make the federal bureaucracy more accountable to the American people. Through this initiative, Republicans hope to eliminate inefficient government operations while ensuring that taxpayer money is used more effectively.
You can’t sell off the ugly, old, hag but you can, at least, sell off the ugly, old, building that bears her name.
