Pelosi Wants To Postpone State Of The Union Until Gov’t Reopens

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wrote to President Trump on Wednesday seeking to reschedule his State of the Union address until after the government has reopened.

Pelosi stopped short of disinviting the President to deliver the address, which is scheduled for Jan. 29.

“Sadly, given the security concerns and unless government reopens this week, I suggest that we work together to determine another suitable date after government has reopened for this address or for you to consider delivering your State of the Union address in writing to the Congress on January 29th,” Pelosi wrote.

The speaker noted that the Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security are tasked with providing security and protection for the high-profile event, but “have not been funded for 26 days now — with critical departments hamstrung by furloughs.”

The partial government shutdown, which has affected about 800,000 federal employees, is now the longest in history. Trump has refused to back down on his request for $5.7 billion for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, a demand Democrats won’t accede to.

FL Official Under Fire For Calling Tlaib A ‘Danger’ Who Might ‘Blow Up Capitol Hill’

A local city commissioner in south Florida has been condemned by colleagues and a state Islamic relations group for her Facebook post about freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), whom she called a “danger” who might “blow up Capitol Hill.”

According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Hallandale Beach commissioner Annabelle Lima-Taub reportedly signed a petition that called for the ouster of Tlaib after she was criticized for saying Democrats should “impeach that motherfucker,” referencing President Trump.

“Proudly signed,” Lima-Taub wrote, according to a screenshot of a post on her personal Facebook page, obtained by the Sun-Sentinel. “A Hamas-loving anti-Semite has NO place in government! She is a danger and would not put it past her to become a martyr and blow up Capitol Hill.”

Several of Lima-Taub’s fellow commissioners have condemned her comments and the Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called on her to resign, USA Today reported.

Tlaib — who made history for being the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress and one of two of the first Muslim women — addressed the remark in a tweet, blaming President Trump and Republicans for perpetuating “hateful, anti-Muslim rhetoric.”

Pelosi Brings Down The Gavel, Punishes Dem Who Opposed Her Speakership Bid
Kate Riga

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), comfortable after a fight to win back the position, is punishing one of her detractors by passing her over for a coveted spot on the House Judiciary Committee.

According to a Tuesday Politico report, Pelosi supported freshmen candidates over Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-NY) despite a united front from the New York delegation, seen as a signal that Pelosi has not forgotten how vocal Rice was in opposing her reelection.

Pelosi argued that New Yorkers were already well represented on the panel, but Rice’s supporters countered that Florida has just as many members in the committee.

Despite the New Yorkers’ anger, the Steering Committee put Pelosi’s list of selections to a secret up or down vote, and the speaker triumphed.

Rep. Lou Correa (CA) and freshmen Reps. Mary Gay Scanlon (PA), Madeleine Dean (PA), Veronica Escobar (TX), Sylvia Garcia (TX), Lucy McBath (GA), Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (FL), Joe Neguse (CO) and Greg Stanton (AZ) will join the committee.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Says She’s Going to ‘Run Train on the Progressive Agenda’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mocked her critics in a Washington Postinterview, telling them to “enjoy being exhausted for the next two years while we run train on the progressive agenda.”

According to Urban Dictionary — not always a reliable source, but useful in this case — “run train” is colloquially defined as “to gangbang” someone with “several friends.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s pledge to gang bang the progressive agenda comes in the transcript of an extensive interview with the Post, in which she was asked about “conservative media” setting her up as “another boogeyman on the left.”

“I also think it’s encouraging because this is my sixth day in Congress and they’re out of all their artillery,” she said, referencing the fake photo of her feet in a bathtub that was covered — controversially — by the Daily Caller. “The nude is supposed to be like the bazooka. You know, like, ‘We’re going to take her down.’ Dude, you’re all out of bullets, you’re all out of bombs, you’re all out of all this stuff.”

“What have you got left?” she asked. “I’m six days into the term, and you already used all your ammo. So enjoy being exhausted for the next two years while we run train on the progressive agenda.”

It’s unclear whether Ocasio-Cortez — the freshman congresswoman and democratic socialist from New York — is aware that “run train” is a gang bang reference.

AOC also remarked on the intense scrutiny she receives, telling the Post it’s “physically exhausting.”

“The actual transition process is exhausting, but then the attention is enormous too,” she said.
