Jasmine Crockett Knocks Democrats For Being 'Really Stuck In Our Old Ways'

The Texas congresswoman said Americans are looking to see if Democrats are willing to "shake" things up within their party.

Ben Blanchet at HuffPost:

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) had a blunt message for fellow Democrats on Saturday as she weighed in on Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) defeating Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in a vote to become the top-ranking party member in the House Oversight Committee next month. “While I think that both are absolutely qualified, I do think that within the Democratic caucus, we are really stuck in our old ways of doing things, which is you get there by seniority,” said Crockett in an appearance on MSNBC. “And so if you’ve been there longer, then you get the post. And I don’t think that we fully sit there and say, ‘Who may be best equipped for this moment?’” [...] Crockett, a member of the House Oversight Committee, said Americans are looking to see if Democrats are willing to “shake it up if it means that we can move this country forward.” [...] Crockett said she expects the party will talk about how it handles committee leadership positions, noting that the Republican Conference has rules that limit chairs and ranking members to no more than three consecutive terms.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is right: The Democrats need to move on from the old ways of doing things.

Pete Buttigieg defends Biden’s Hurricane Milton response & blasts Trump’s dangerous relief misinformation

The transportation secretary has appeared on television networks to provide truthful information after the spread of unprecedented lies.

Christopher Wiggins at The Advocate:

Out U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg explained the federal response to Hurricane Milton during an appearance on MSNBC’s Chris Jansing Reports Thursday afternoon, highlighting the government’s efforts to assist affected communities while condemning the spread of dangerous misinformation about disaster relief. The hurricane, which made landfall south of Tampa as a Category 3 storm on Wednesday evening, has left millions without power and caused at least six confirmed deaths in Florida, the Washington Post reports. As of midday Thursday, the storm had moved off Florida’s east coast into the Atlantic. “There is an enormous federal response helping the people of North Carolina and all of the states impacted by Hurricane Milton and Helene,” Buttigieg said, responding to accusations from former President Donald Trump that the federal government had failed North Carolina. “If you talk to mayors, if you talk to governors, by the way, from both parties of these states, they are repeatedly saying that everything they have sought from the federal government, from the federal response, they are getting,” Buttigieg added, dismissing the criticism as political rhetoric.

Federal hurricane relief response realities

Buttigieg emphasized the scale of the federal response, noting that thousands of federal employees, including personnel from FEMA and the Department of Transportation, are on the ground. In response to a question about whether there is sufficient funding to meet ongoing disaster needs, Buttigieg emphasized that while immediate needs are being met, additional funding will be necessary for long-term recovery efforts. He pointed out that Congress must act swiftly to replenish FEMA’s disaster relief fund.

Misinformation hampers relief efforts

Trump and several Republicans, including billionaire X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, have been at the forefront of spreading misinformation about the federal response to the storms. On Wednesday, ahead of the storm’s landfall, President Joe Biden called disaster relief lies “un-American” and accused Trump of misrepresenting the federal efforts to support impacted communities. Biden singled out Greene, who claimed the government could control the weather, calling her comments “beyond ridiculous” and “like out of a comic book.” Buttigieg expressed concern about the growing spread of misinformation surrounding the relief efforts. “This is not an academic exercise. This is a life and death response operation,” he said, condemning the false information circulating online. Following Helene, false information about FEMA relief payments and eligibility spread across social media platforms, leading many residents to fall prey to scams that delayed their access to government aid. Buttigieg and FEMA officials had to correct these rumors repeatedly.

DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg delivered some blunt truths on Thursday's edition of MSNBC's Chris Jansing Reports about disaster relief efforts on Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
