It will be interesting to follow the career of Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin, “a new Michigan lawmaker and former Central Intelligence Agency analyst.”
It will be particularly interesting to follow her activities in relation to those of her fellow freshman Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
For example, Rep. Slotkin promised not to vote for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, and she and kept her promise by voting “present.” On the other hand, AOC spent months denouncing Nancy as an old Establishment gargoyle who needed to be replaced by younger leadership and then voted for Nancy anyway.
Also, Rep. Slotkin seems to be the only Democratic House member concerned about the Shutdown impasse who has been courageous enough to speak out about it, particularly about the failure of Nancy Pelosi to offer clear guidelines for resolving it.
I wonder how she feels about Nancy deciding to fly off on a vacation to Puerto Rico while the Democrats of Washington are left leaderless to muddle through the longest shutdown in history.
That Loomis woman invading Pelosi’s house might just bring Pelosi’s back from her vacay...early! She’s never had that type of personal invasion of her property before with her words thrown back at her. The Dem’s better start dealing a little more upfront and stop the ‘gaslighting’ they are doing....the invasion of her property by fed up people(some of them are wearing yellow vests) should be seen as as a warning that the Dems are hitting a “hard place” where their detractors are going to physically react!
