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

Breaking: After months of national outcry, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam has granted clemency to Cyntoia Brown. Cyntoia is currently serving a life sentence after being convicted of first-degree murder after shooting her rapist at 16. As a teenager, she was sexually trafficked and repeatedly abused and drugged. She was tried as an adult and convicted on murder charges after she killed her 43-year-old abuser and trafficker. Brown says he was behaving erratically and owned a number of guns, and that she feared for her life when she shot him in the head and made her escape. After 15 years of incarceration, Brown will finally be released from prison August 7.
