Connolly secured his position on the pivotal Oversight Committee after leaders in the House Democratic caucus—most notably former Speaker Nancy Pelosi—backed Connolly’s bid over Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.

While other Democratic leaders have been fumbling for a response to Trump, the administration has been in a public feud with Ocasio-Cortez. Tom Homan, Trump’s handpicked immigration czar, has even called on the Department of Justice to investigate the congresswoman after she advised migrant communities of their constitutional rights.

In contrast to Connolly’s pro-compliance message, Ocasio-Cortez recently wrote, “America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.”

    Bernie was gonna win and they cancelled it? Okay, Imma need to see some articles on that.

    Basically unless you’re talking about Texas or California or heck even PA and Bernie is polling at ~90% and the DNC says “actually we’re cancelling due to rain” I’m going to find there’s no reason to assume Bernie was going to win and they cancelled primaries to prevent him.

    That’s just - Fox News type of narrative. It’s lacking all context and the context it does have is childishly simple and outrageous.
