House Dems want Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to stop attacking their own — but with more star power than most House members, it’s an open question whether the 29-year-old can be brought into the fold. A group of Democrats are mounting an operation to rein in the anti-establishment, democratic socialist. Incumbent Democrats are most annoyed by Ocasio-Cortez’s threat to back primary opponents against members of their ranks she deems too moderate. But their frustration goes beyond that: Democratic leaders are upset that she railed against their new set of House rules on Twitter the first week of the new Congress. Rank and file are peeved that there’s a grassroots movement to try to win her a top committee post they feel she doesn’t deserve. Link in bio for the full story. ? AP Photo
