I know everyone is disappointed about AOC losing the Oversight race, but let’s take a moment to celebrate Democrats elevating Angie Craig to a top role on the House Agriculture Committee. She’s a badass who knows how to win tough races. Giving more power and attention to Craig is a huge win. 💙 - ThreadSky

Yes, lets celebrate the wins rather than endlessly focusing on the losses

It helped that Angie’s opponent was a failed former federal prosecutor that Tom Emmer airdropped into the district who broke his pledge to abide by the endorsement process. The far right hated Plea Deal Joe almost as much as they despise Emmer.

What wing of the party is she from?

👏👏👏

Maybe she can do something about the abysmal treatment of factory-farm animals. It's no secret that they are tortured and treated as products rather than living, sentient beings. When will this country stop supporting inhumane, barbaric treatment of animals? #StopAnimalCruelty #FactoryFarming

I'm always hopeful, but farm sector Democrats have a horrible track record on the pollution devastating our water as @theswinerepublic.bsky.social writes today.

Good news!

The best strategy RIGHT NOW would be ignoring these most likely irrelevant-next-year committees and maybe shout **at a lot of microphones** about Great Depression 2.0, polio, health care reform, and the future looting of the Treasury for bilionaires who quite obviously don't have enough money yet

what is her background in agriculture?
Does she go out of her way to learn more?

Fun fact. In the 1970's 40 poultry farmers held 50% of US poultry Market. Today, 2 poultry farmers hold 50% of USA poultry production. Both parties are complicit in this. There are absolutely no "bad asses" in Congress.

Dude, quit trying to handle us. The Dems suck. They lost to Trump and then double down on the dumbest possible shit on the timeline. AOC will be leading this shit one day.

palssystem.bsky.social•166 days ago

Who? No really. No one outside her area would recognize her, and your party's inability to grasp public opinion is staggering. Sounds like that's partially your fault. AOC is one of the most known names behind Bernie Sanders in Congress, and y'all chose an old wyt guy with cancer. 🤨 Get a clue.

HA our party the DFL has kept the GOP losing in MN since 1972 for president and since the 70’s in holding state office. Your welcome 🤗

lakeview2.bsky.social•166 days ago

State office since the 80’s. Edit ✍️

Ditto for Jamie Raskin on the House Judiciary Committee.

Gurl Power......I am in....Congrats!

tracy-dogmom.bsky.social•166 days ago

Is Angie Craig a client of yours?

m-ziggy.bsky.social•166 days ago

You have to know she'll be the designated scapegoat when food prices soar. I'm not sure celebration really the mood...

gill052.bsky.social•165 days ago

Pelosi kneecapping AOC in favor of a 70 yo cancer patient sends the message that the decrepit Dem leadership is still hoarding power and only sharing crumbs with well behaved backbenchers. The result? R-control in House Senate and Presidency
