Instead, Democrats are sticking to their original plan, and channeled Exxon Mobil in an announcement refusing to bar members who take fossil fuel money.
Democratic leaders on Thursday tapped Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) to head a revived U.S. House panel on climate change, all but ending a dramatic monthlong effort to establish a select committee on a Green New Deal.
Castors appointment came as a surprise to proponents of a Green New Deal.
Despite weeks of protests demanding House Democrats focus efforts next year on drafting a Green New Deal, the sort of sweeping economic policy that scientists say matches the scale of the climate crisis, Castor told E&E News the plan was not going to be our sole focus.
The announcement comes as a loss for Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). Her meteoric rise and devoted base made it seem as if she were poised to win the burgeoning cadre of leftist Democrats a beachhead in a select committee that, even with limited capacity, would have demonstrated tangible power in Washington.
But, if its defeat, its bittersweet. The campaign, seemingly quixotic at first, shifted the stagnant climate policy debate not just to the left but, for the first time, in the direction of policies that could make a dent in surging global emissions and curb soaring income inequality.

Yep. She would be soundly criticized by the media on how utterly unintelligent she is.
Dims don’t really believe in socialism or even democracy.
They certainly do not believe in the USC.
Its just the con/scam they use to empower themselves.
In other words, they would throw live children, a d the elderly, into a wood chipper if it “empowered” them.
Her spirit animal is the gold fish.
She’s stupid and ignorant enough to head a ‘rat committee.
“2- Shes pretty”
If she keeps her smile and eye opening downsized, maybe cute due to her youth.
But my opinion says she’s not pretty.
You do have a point there. MeAgain Kelly, IMO was sexy, but not the hot beauty she was once praised as being here on FR.
Another one is Ann Coulter. She’s better looking than MeAgain, but not really a raving beauty as she was also proclaimed.
Now for another opinion, for enduring beauty, I’d go for Trump’s wife. Regardless of age or politics, this girl is hot.
She should have given all her comrades a free drink “on the house” and order of chicken wings.
Passable with her Hair down and not smiling. Looking at the Video she did in College shows she has a nice Body because she wasn’t wearing a $1000 Politician Pantsuit.
Kathy Castor, don’t you know you are supposed to let her have it? I mean, she is the future of the Socialist Party, not you.
They were all set, last year, to start that Kennedy cousin on the road to the White House, til that unfortunate drooling lip gloss episode of his. I don’t suppose anyone has a video of Beto picking his nose, do they? (Not a polite little thumb brush, either. I mean a real digging for gold episode.)
Pretty? Maybe pretty ugly...
“Pretty only lasts so long & is very subjective”.
She is sitting on her brains.
Maybe a bit north of there
My preference will always be SOPHIA LOREN or ANN MARGRET.
But that’s just me.
And there you have it. In spite of all the espoused high ideals and lofty goals...what it really comes down to with leftists is power. Power and control. In western society, money is power. So their ideals sink quite easily beneath a sea of cash.
Same as Obama’s $100 Billion + waste Old Green Deal
Wait I thought she was in Cancun drinking Wine ,oh and now she’ll be a Whining ,LOL
It’s a good thing that we all don’t think the same.
The Bug Eyes make her exceptionally unattractive, IMO.
When she opens her mouth, she becomes physically repulsive, IMO. And I’m not talking about what she says. I’m referring to her lineage that must include Mr. Ed.
Double bag it and perhaps it would be acceptable, but that’s not my thing! :)
