Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
I expect they will find another old white dude to fill the spot before they ever consider Ocasio-Cortez.
A lot has changed since December...
I think if AOC still wants it, she's got it now.
Pelosi and the rest of the senior elected politicians don't have the DNC behind them anymore. She was never good at convincing people to see her side, she wielded the DNC like a cudgel and had zero qualms turning it on incumbents who went against her.
She is no longer a member of this committee and switched to a different one after not getting the ranking member seat
And now there's a seat and a chair that needs replaced...
She can take the seat, then get the chair.
Like, I get what you're saying, it just doesn't matter.
We need a competent energetic person who understands today's media in this position. It's an incredibly important one. We can play another round of musical chairs, it's not even much of a hassle.
Ah, that's good then.
She's said in the past she's no longer interested in it. I believe there was already a little back peddling a few weeks and she gave the impression she had moved on.
But she could always change her mind I suppose
Things may have changed outside of Congress, but they haven't changed enough inside Congress yet. This is a few weeks old but it's the most recent quote I can find from AOC on this (also, I'm including some stuff before her quote that I think I underscores the problem)
