      XPost: sac.politics, alt.politics.democrats, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       XPost: alt.gossip.celebrities       From: cblasey@paloaltou.edu              WASHINGTON — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t get a seat on       the powerful tax writing committee where she sought to push her       progressive agenda of Medicare for All, free college tuition and       a green new deal.              Instead, the open downstate New York slot on the House Ways and       Means Committee went to a moderate Democrat, Long Island Rep.       Tom Suozzi, a former CPA, attorney and county executive.              Suozzi will assume the committee seat of Rep. Joe Crowley, the       Queens Democrat Ocasio-Cortez defeated last year in a stunning       upset.              Ocasio-Cortez sought a spot on the committee—which is usually       off limits to freshman reps – with the backing of progressive       groups that pushed for a slate of fresh-faced candidates to earn       posh assignments.              Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib made a play for Appropriations, but       she too was passed over.              Ocasio-Cortez, at 29 the youngest member of Congress, took the       defeat in stride. Asked if she felt slighted by leadership, her       spokesman Corbin Trent said “certainly not.”              “She hoped to be on it, but we’re excited to see what committees       she does get,” Trent said.              https://nypost.com/2019/01/10/ocasio-cortez-passed-over-for-       influential-house-committee/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
