As internal divisions between progressive and moderate Democrats over the direction of the party’s legislative agenda threaten to erode their new House majority, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi now faces a critical test of her command over the 235-member Democratic caucus.
“We just have to get the best we can get,” Pelosi, D-Calif., encouraged. “Fight for it. Not settle for anything. But understand that every fight is the beginning of the next fight.” Pelosi seemed to direct her contempt towards the so-called"Squad" – a quartet of freshmen progressives Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley – signaling it’s time to tamper down criticism of fellow Democrats.
“No, I do not,” Pelosi insisted. “Four people voted against the bill. That’s what I said. I have no regrets about anything. Regrets are not what I do.” “All these articles want to claim what a legislative mastermind Pelosi is, but I'm seeing way more strategic smarts from freshman members like @AOC, @IlhanMN , @RashidaTlai and @AyannaPressley,” Chakrabarti tweeted July 6. “Pelosi is just mad that she got outmaneuvered by Republicans.”
While more Republicans voted to pass a bill than Democrats for the first time in the 116th Congress, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer emphasized that the majority of his Democratic caucus still voted for the bill in an effort to “get the best result,” though he conceded the move created some hard feelings.
“Now we’re at a point where we can move forward, and we will move forward in defense of both the rule of law on the border and in defense of our cherished history as a nation of immigrants,” Jeffries, D-N.Y., said.
so long drunk, however, the domestic terrorists who want her speakership are even more dangerous to our country
Plz do.
Pelosi has never had to work at being a leader because the entire Democratic establishment has always had the same agenda. Now that more progressive Dems are in congress to work for the American people, not corporations or the 1%, she is upset she doesn't have that power anymore.
She can't talk shit about anyone in her caucus and then expect them to stay in line. She is creating an atmosphere to 'Eat their own' while the Republicans stay in lockstep behind Trump and laugh at them. Speaker Pelosi it blowing it.
TheLargerIssue Hi. Does Sen. Pelosi have a plan for educating citizens about our Nation's UNHEALTHY, potentially life scarring Generational THUGLIFE Culture of Child Abuse, Emotional Neglect, Abandonment & Maltreatment, as well as ending HATE evolving from Child Abuse? Peace.
aoc has to be the dumbest loud mouth Ever in congress, aoc and her 2 moron buddies could cause the dems to get wiped out in 2020. What's worse is only Biden seems normal, the rest of the field have lost their minds, trying to get left of the leftists

Actually, SpeakerPelosi is dealing with four unruly show ponies. I don’t think she’s in over her head.
They created the monsters but don’t know how to control the monster now!
stop AOC
She's definitely going to have her work cut out for her
Ding bats!🤷🏻♀️
One thing Republican’s don’t play is Identity politics(mainly because they are white straight males) Makes them more solid at making decisions, and hard to get past Mitch McConnell. All this Identity politics is fracturing the Left. Trump will laugh all the way to re-election if
I can't wait to see this little nipping and snapping turn into full-blown party cannibalism. It's the most magical time of the political cycle. 👏🏻👏🏻
🤣🤣DNC Propaganda Machine at work ....
Look out the queen bee has to fight to keep order in the nest. DOGPILE
Pelosi is going to kick their xxx.
SpeakerPelosi just do your job and impeach now it's as simple as that stop being a push over for the GOP
Her command of the caucus has always been strong; the difference is the election of selfish crazy people who believe their twitter hype& will help re-elect Trump to make a point calling out Dems who take center left positions that a majority of voters in key states find palatable
You can’t put out a massive inferno you started with a fire hose after neglecting it for so long.
Pelosi is a push over for the GOP or a paid protector...need to check her finances
I don’t believe they beefing.. for what.. AOC & other freshman are just doing their jobs.. and Nancy is doing hers.. The media wants to be tension.. other than 1) feels passionate about issues, & the other is trying to play chess counting votes & finding ways to govern.
reign AOC in from what? the immense and profound good she's doing? SpeakerPelosi can take a hike.
Catfight
SpeakerPelosi is the picture of everything wrong with the party.
SpeakerPelosi is never more 'in command' than after AOC and RashidaTlaib bring her to heel.
SpeakerPelosi needs to DoYourJob ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW
Or progressives are reining in neoliberals like Pelosi
She's lost it
resignpelosi
“Pelosi works to rein in progressives...and those opposed to complete lawlessness.”
