    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Holds Town Hall In Queens, NY

    AOC Won't Seek Oversight Role: 'Underlying Dynamics in the Caucus Have Not Shifted'

    "I believe I'll be staying put at Energy and Commerce," the progressive congresswoman said.

    Jessica Corbett
    May 05, 2025

    Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ended a week of speculation on Monday by announcing that she will not seek the ranking member position on the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

    The New York Democrat, who last year ran for ranking member and lost to Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), told reporters, "It's actually clear to me that the underlying dynamics in the caucus have not shifted with respect to seniority as much as I think would be necessary, so I believe I'll be staying put at Energy and Commerce."

    Marjorie Taylor Greene rants against PBS, NPR, drag queens, and other right-wing bugabooss

    Free Press Defenders Rip Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'Bullsh*t' Attack on Public Broadcasters

    "Elon Musk and Marjorie Taylor Greene are trying to defund Sesame Street and dismantle PBS and NPR," said one Democratic congressman. "Not on our watch. Fire Elon Musk, and save Elmo."

    Progressives roundly ridiculed U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday after the serial conspiracy theorist made baseless claims that National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting Service are "radical left-wing echo chambers" with a "communist agenda" and called for their defunding.

    "Is Elmo now, or has he ever been, a member of the Communist Party?"

    Call It the 'Dismantling Government Act': House GOP Advances Bill Backing Musk-Led Destruction

    "This bill would rubber-stamp unchecked abuses of power even further," said the leader of one government watchdog group.

    Julia Conley
    Mar 26, 2025

    The top Democrat on the U.S. House committee tasked with holding the Trump administration accountable said Tuesday during a debate on a Republican proposal that the GOP knows President Donald Trump cannot legally "'delete' whole federal agencies" or "take a chainsaw to beloved programs like Social Security and Medicaid."

    "Congressional Republicans also know these dangerous, deeply unpopular cuts would never be approved by Congress through regular order," said Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. "So now they've brought us H.R. 1295, the so-called Reorganizing Government Act, in a desperate attempt to circumvent the normal congressional process."
