You've probably seen videos of Porter tearing banking execs, Trump administrators, etc. a new asshole, she is really really fucking good at making these assholes look like... assholes. This is why Pelosi needs to step down, she only looks out for her donors.

Dumb move Nancy.

Gotta keep the establishment in line. You know, trickle down and all.

Don't worry though, we will throw the occasional $600 peso check for every $2T that goes to the banks. Fair trade, right?

I've seen her work. She should be on any committee she wants and can be effective.

"Thanks to Pelosi"
?????

Porter, a former financial law professor known for dressing down administration officials and executives in hearings, was appointed to the Financial Services Committee and received a waiver to serve on the House Oversight and Reform Committee during her first term.

In a Nov. 30 letter to Pelosi, Porter asked to be considered for seats on the Oversight and Reform, Natural Resources, and Financial Services committees — in that order — in the new Congress that began on Jan. 3.

Porter also asked Pelosi to “prioritize” her spot on the Oversight Committee and asked to rejoin the Financial Services Committee on a waiver.

Porter will hold onto her seat on the Oversight Committee and join the Natural Resources Committee this year, the Democratic aides said. Both committees are non-exclusive, meaning a member can serve on several.

A senior Democratic aide familiar with the steering committee decision said it was risky for Porter to prioritize spots on other committees while asking for a waiver to retain her spot on Financial Services after Democrats lost seats in the 2020 election. A smaller Democratic majority means Democrats have a smaller ratio of seats per committee.

The senior aide also said that Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.) was also denied a waiver to stay on the Financial Services Committee after she was granted a spot on the House Appropriations Committee in December.

The Financial Services Committee is one of five House panels deemed “exclusive” by Democratic leaders under caucus rules adopted in July 2020.

She got a waiver as a noobie and now they are simply sticking to the rules to allow others to have an opportunity to get assigned exclusive committees.

Porter needs to be promoted more than the "Squad" members

Thank you for the clarification. Ok Nancy.

It's to prepare for the Biden/Harris COMMUNIST EXTREMISM SOCIALISM BLM ANTIFA REVOLUTION!

Or whatever it is delusional Republicans think about the center-right Democratic Party, I can't keep up anymore, honestly.

Put her as head of the cfpb! Then vote for her as president.

Thanks. Twitter and YouTube links didn't cut it

I think that was a terrible move, Speaker Pelosi.

Katie Porter is needed to question those money men.

Stop trying to channel Jello Biafra's Dead Kennedys, i.e. get into the heads of authoritarians. It's an exercise in futility.

Someone's too good at beating the crap out of corrupt bankers, sounds like maybe Pelosi got an ear full.

Shameful. Talent, intelligence and integrity like that need to be on every committee possible. You fucked up Nancy.

Post #5 explains what happened.

I happen to think Porter's skills and value should be prioritized/utilized as much as possible instead of rotating in someone with less chops. I also think it's probably next to impossible her going after the banks with such drive produced zero concerns on the donor side. The "new blood" argument coming from old guard Dems in their 70s amuses me. Rules are rules though I suppose, individual merit should play a secondary role regardless of recent and current events. Except if the person is named Gen. Lloyd Austin I guess. Different topic I know but I really hope people (and Joe!) listen to Adam Smith. Michele Flournoy is a great pick.

The Dems are trying to starve the Republicans of Funding and even Voters. I wouldn't expect them to be eager to hold Corps accountable for much.

Ohman... outing your old-ass with that reference.

Shit... so did I by just calling you out. D'oh!!!

Instead of resorting to labels reinforced by FoxNew opinion shit heads, I invite you to review Ocasio-Cortez grilling of witnesses over various hearing on cspan.

Come out of the woods with your hands up!

Anyway, don't know if you got the point.

BTW, there's nothing wrong with being old if you've got your shit together.

So fewer committee seats available because Democrats have fewer House seats, so they more strictly follow the rules and give Porter her committee assignments in her preferred order. I'm not seeing the problem here beyond someone wants to just rag on the most effective speaker of the house in the last few decades.

Next thing we'll see is someone posting that ridiculous meme where AOC is labeled center left, Pelosi is labeled center right, and that teen murder who is out on bail is labeled far right, completely ignoring elected Republicans (because of Murc's law) and ignoring just how progressive Pelosi has been over the years (including, if people forgot, having passed a public option for the original ACA in the House).

All of the squad, not just AOC. But Porter’s questioning is still better than AOC
