Breakfast Club

Ah yes, The Dance....is there a heart that failed to melt? (don't say Mitch McConnell's everyone knows he has no heart...)

For those few who missed it, here it is:

You know, they're just speaking up & talking to their constituencies, as they should be.
Not sure why everyone's constantly clutching pearls, including many Dems, but here's how AOC explains it.
(pretty sure she's not one for regrets either):

“Catfight” is the sexist term Republicans use when two adult women happen to disagree with each other.

The reason they find it so novel &exciting is bc the GOP haven’t elected enough women themselves to see that it can, in fact, be a normal occurrence in a functioning democracy. https://t.co/s6eMMmvzrd

Josh Marshall is seeing this correctly, I think:

confess I don’t remotely under this argument. this seems fairly consistent. AOC repeatedly challenges Pelosi’s leadership, which she has every right to do. But then she’s shocked that Pelosi strikes back at her?

And those who are complaining that Nancy is picking on and bullying four new women members of color are playing the race card not very differently than Clarence Thomas did. She's picking on them and bullying them because they have voted in a way and promoted things in a way against her wishes, for chrissake, not because they are young minority women. I am really turned off by those who use the race card trick, and if they had my respect before will probably lose it forever if they do, it's sickening, it's racist in itself, it stokes racism further.

Invoking the war years and the occuption, La Résistance - crafty of her. I hear she did a version of Breakfast Club with baguette and café au lait, avec beret, bien sûr. Almost looked like a schoolgirl.

Insiders have added to the story, viz...following the exit of the press, Pelosi launched into an impromptu karaoke performance, lip synching as follows:

The invidious among the caucus were heard comparing Pelosi's appearance unfavorably to Piaf's. Also praising the French version to the impromptu translation.

Good on De Bonis for asking! Now everybody knows where Pelosi stands, that it's not just scuttlebutt or something that can be explained away as Dowd spinning it incorrectly.

INSIDE THE ROOM @SpeakerPelosi tells any House member or staffer thinking of publicly torching a fellow Democrat to "think twice."

This is the dynamic that, more than anything else, drove the outcome on the humanitarian aid bill. It is what Pelosi is alluding to when she says AOC & Squad are just four votes. If 14 more joined them, things would look very different. https://t.co/PFwsybv4Yk
