AOC Slams Dems’ “Playing Nice,” Demands Action Against Musk and Trump Nominees
Following Elon Musk’s takeover of federal agencies, including USAID and Treasury payment systems, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Democrats for continuing to confirm Trump nominees, arguing that this constitutes a response to a constitutional crisis. She urged a halt to all confirmations until Musk’s actions are reversed, emphasizing the need for stronger Democratic resistance. Sen. Brian Schatz initiated a blanket hold on all State Department nominees, a move supported by other Democrats, to pressure the administration and slow the confirmation process. This action aims to demonstrate resistance to Musk’s actions and the potential threat to democratic governance.
