“We have to follow wherever the evidence takes us,” she told CNN.

US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat, New York) isn’t fazed by Congress’ failure to move forward with the impeachment of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.

From her perspective, Democrats have almost too many people to investigate once they gain control of Congress in January.

“There are so many criminals in this administration, it’s hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on Tuesday.

“There are going to be many, many, many investigations,” she added. “I imagine many subpoenas, and we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us.”

    Hopefully the court gets repaired before they have the chance to shoot it down.

    You’d need a Democrat in the White House to do that. At that point, there’s no longer pressure to reform the EC.

      Why is there no pressure to reform the EC then? Are we not holding any more elections after that?

        Why is there no pressure to reform the EC then?

        There’s plenty of pressure. Just not in the direction you’d prefer.

        The GOP doesn’t have one “master plan” to rig the electoral college. Instead, lawmakers are considering a couple of different versions of a plan that would tie electoral votes to congressional districts.

        This was an underreported part of Project 2025, which lead off with a new wave of unscheduled redistricting in red states… leading to the Dummymander of 2026.

        There was also the attempt, in 2020, to award EC votes by state legislative fiat rather than statewide popular vote.

        But the bottom line is that when you’re winning (and Republicans have had a built in EC / Senate advantage since 1968, thanks to their popularity in smaller rural states) there’s no big incentive to change the rules.

        And when you’re losing, there’s no opportunity to change them.
