Hoping to help lead a congressional panel that could be in a position to hold President-elect Donald Trump accountable to the American public in the coming years, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday notified her colleagues that she is officially seeking the top Democratic seat on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

    How horrible, somebody trying to do something positive.

        Not denying, fighting against the reality. I dare say you haven’t seen any videos of her in committees asking the pointed questions that are normally glossed over. You can certainly argue about effectiveness, but if no one tries to make a difference, it will absolutely go the direction it’s going.

        What do you suggest our represenatives do as an alternative? Give up? Say and do nothing for 4 years?

        As painful and exasperating of a job it’s going to be, we still need idealists like AOC to go and do their best, even while in the minority.
