Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly, the highest-ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said government workers should comply with an Elon Musk order that is being disputed by others. Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency sent out an email...

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.”

    Why the absolute about-face from you on the DNC over the last couple weeks?

    Why are so many people stuck on a single comment he made during the DNC chair campaign when he was asked if he’d take donations from billionaires?

    They’re not stuck on this single comment. They’re seeing the trend from the DNC over the last few decades and seeing more of the same in his statement.

    Do you legitimately think he’d have won the chair election by answering no?

    And what does that tell you about where their allegiance lies? I can’t believe you think this comment helps your argument.

      Why the absolute about-face from you on the DNC over the last couple weeks?

      I’ve been saying since the day Biden lost that the DNC chair election determines if I support the DNC as hard as possible or push for a third party.

      Ken Martin was one of the candidates I consider “good enough”.

      They’re seeing the trend from the DNC over the last few decades and seeing more of the same in his statement.

      It would be easier to see that side of it, if there was more than one I cident of him saying something “bad”.

      Dude was campaigning in an election where voting members of the DNC were the only ones who could vote. A “hard no” would have prevented him from becoming chair.

      And what does that tell you about where their allegiance lies?

      Who cares?

      Their only power is electing a chair in years a republican is president.

      That’s all the DNC is really, some people who vote on who the chair is, and around 20 people in other leadership positions the chair appoints.

      The DNC is not some huge unchangeable monolith, don’t blame fresh leadership for last 30 years of shit decisions.

      Now, I answered all your questions. So if you’d be so kind I’m legitimately interested in this:

      And why did so many people all discover this comment from over a month ago about 48 hours ago?

      Where and when did you first see that comment?
