House Democrats Move to Tamp Down Internal Feud

“House Democrats are moving to quiet the searing internal feud that threatened to spin out of control last week — starting with the deletion of explosive tweets that helped spark the infighting and a joint statement of unity,” the Washington Post reports.

“The detente is expected to continue next week, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tentatively scheduled to meet Thursday with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — the most prominent member of the four-member ‘Squad’ of liberal freshman female lawmakers.”

One Democratic aide called it a “collective de-escalation.”
