  1. Here’s a preview of the story:

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York launched her bid Friday to be the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee as the party looks to replace its veteran leaders on several key panels.

    “This is not a position I seek lightly. The responsibility of leading Democrats on the House Oversight Committee during Donald Trump’s second term in the White House is a profound and consequential one,” the New York Democrat wrote in a letter to colleagues on Friday.

    “In the 119th Congress, Oversight Committee Democrats will face an important task: we must balance our focus on the incoming president’s corrosive actions and corruption with a tangible fight to make life easier for America’s working class,” she added.

  3. She’s been the one Democrat who clearly knows what we’re up against and is up for the fight. Haven’t seen anything close from anyone else in the house since the election, which is a shame because this is the time to step up..

  5. Not a huge AOC fan, but it’s the right spot for her.

  6. If she doesn’t win it’s cause the Democrats are very clear they’d rather lose than make any concessions to progressives

  7. I hope she puts all the business out there on social media 

  8. She’s really come into her own. Probably not a coincidence that a lot of cringe, terminally-online leftist lunatics are starting to turn on her.

  10. Only people who like her are the progressives on Reddit.

  11. Sure why not. The legacy establishment democratic operative are operating for a two decade old playbook. AOC has the social media sass

  13. This is the first good political news I’ve seen in too long

  14. Good luck to AOC. She won’t be able to run off the dynamic duo Gym Jordon & Comor Piles with a bucket of shit and a broom.

  15. I really love how she’s grown and evolved over the years. She’s still feisty, whip smart and passionate but she knows the rules of the game now.

    It’ll be exiting to see what she does next

  16. She needs to learn how to get her points across without the condescension and over-aggressive approach or she’ll struggle. Right or wrong, she’ll be seen as the know-it-all bitchy bartender chick until she figures out how to land the message with more decorum.

  18. THANK YOU, AOC… Im glad SOMEBODY is willing to fight fir us….

  19. I’m waiting for the day when I get to vote for her for president

  20. I kept thinking she was going for a future presidential run. I think she’s going for a future Pelosi style reign. Her party needs to be taken by the shoulders and had the shit shaken out of it. AOC might be the only one who could pull it off.

  21. This would be huge.

    AOC is inexperienced, disliked, and young.

    But she is not corrupt. Her job is “representative”, and that’s the only job she has.

  22. Excellent, this country needs more strong intelligent women in leadership roles.….

  24. If she keeps her career going. I think she will be our first woman president

  26. God no, she will block everything, just like she blocked most of Biden’s proposals. I’m sure there are dozens of people more suitable and experienced for the job than this attention seeker with zero accomplishments.

  27. AOC is the only way forward and I don’t care how much that bothers you
