    Interesting article that highlights how the questioning process for the Cohen hearing was developed and carried out, as well as info on Ocasio-Cortez's day to day work, which appears to be rigorous.

    I'm not doggin you,  I'm criticizing the fawning press.  And Huffington is terrible on a daily basis.  Their articles are amateurish. 

    I agree it's over the top,including the title. I found the description of how the questions are divided and how the prep is done interesting. I don't have to agree with the style to find it useful. 
    They're doing her a disservice by elevating her before she's earned it.

    She’s the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, having taken on an entrenched incumbent in the primary and her repub opponent in the general. She gets a key committee assignment and out performs her repub colleagues in her first act of a momentous occasion. Cult of personality? Hard work, preparation, confidence, ability and a capable staff around her. Give the girl some props, yo!

    Where's the article praising Elijah Cummings? His management of the day was the expertise on display. 
    Cult of personality...
    Elijah got fawning press for his closing statement and rightfully so.

    I thought she was earnest and disciplined. She showed up and did her job. I'll give her credit for that. 

    The overall strategy of the committee was brilliant. It was a team effort, led by Elijah Cummings. I love him -- he has stood the test of time.

    Seems like aoc is creating the Democratic version of the tea party.  This will definitively bring this country together.  (Insert sarcasm)

    Maybe, but so do psychiatric wards.  I'm sure this is an overly broad statement that lacks context.  Maybe the person was a danger to themselves and others.

    I did not find a whole lot in a quick google search, other than a couple of lawsuits and accusations.  Nothing backed up with fact that I could find, and I take lawsuits for what they are, many are just frivolous.  It would have been nice if she linked a credible source.

    That's the ORR, not ICE.  Are they the same to your knowledge? 

    If drugs are being administered preemptively,  then that's an outrage and needs to be litigated for evidence.  But is that ICE?

    No idea, I assumed they were one in the same. If they aren't then AOC is wrong.

    I'm on the same page as her on reigning in ICE, but as usual I think she goes overboard.  I'm more interested if she's threatening to primary Democrats.  That's tea party tactics and how the GOP destroyed itself.

    I’m beginning to think she’s a GOP agent. Can’t wait for the investigation in 15 years. ;)
