The Squad isn’t the only tight-knit group of freshman House Democrats who aren't waiting their turn to seize the debate on Capitol Hill.
One of the group’s ultimate ambitions, several told POLITICO, is reclaiming the Democratic Party’s old mantle of national security and foreign policy leadership from a GOP that’s bending to Trump’s “America First” agenda. The group has its origins in the 2018 campaign, when they were endorsed by Serve America, a political action committee spearhead by Rep. Seth Moulton , a Marine veteran of the Iraq War and now a presidential candidate. All but Golden were first-time candidates.
"I don't have bitmoji so I feel way less cool," she adds. "And then of course ... whenever Max Rose does something ridiculous we love to share those." The group also played a prominent role in adding a provision to the House version of the annual defense bill that would prohibit the Trump administration from using the congressional force authorization passed after the Sept. 11 attacks to justify a new war with Iran. The White House has threatened to veto the House-passed defense bill, in part due to the Iran provision.
Here's a whole gang of prospects!
Nice work MaxRose4NY 🇺🇸
Can they start by calling for committee appearances and testimony from JohnBrennan to ask why he approved supplying guns and rockets to Al Qaeda in Syria?
Makes me nervous.
Too late
When all comes out on the FBI, DOJ and CIA and their participation in trying to frame an opposing political candidate, it will disgust even moderate Democrats!
The amount of Bots and trolls in this tweet is proof Russia and anyone else who bought trump, are out in force ! Block report
Yeah .... Good luck with that. Trump2020
Bots swarming on this afraid to get called out on NatSec
Trump is allowed to ignore every National Security directive. Resents Generals, no notes on Putin calls and his obsession with himself & his money is bad. He thinks like a thug not trusting anyone who isn't in the game. Geez what an ass hole
You mean 'reclaim national security for AMERICA.' National security should not be spun a partisan issue.
This is obviously needed after the Nunes and Ratcliff debacles
Good on them! If Republicans can no longer use people of honor and integrity good to know someone else is able to utilize those men and women and they are not just sitting it out.
'Reclaim the mantle of national security for the Democrats'?! You do realize we were attacked by Russia, the Republicans including IndividualOne welcomed it, and that MoscowMitch is doint NOTHING to prevent it from continuing? Please, Republicans gave up that mantle with 45*.
Ldonahuehjelle I am so sick of 'moderate' dems... they are just republican lites
Start with the border
RECLAIM!!! When did they EVER have it? Prior to 1850!
If your Idea of a “National Security Democrat” is California’s “One Bill” Gil Cedillo, think again.
If they had any 'intelligence', they wouldn't be politicians.
realDonaldTrump can't read. So the intelligence won't go anywhere anyway. We lasted a long time without mysterious 3 letter orgs. If we did zero balance budgeting I'm not sure spying on Americans would be justifiable...
Democrats have a lot of gangs.
Spelling warmonger wit a capital D!

“Gang”, “Squad”, aren’t these all racist terms now? askingforafriend
Open border & national security do not go hand in hand.
These folks would have more public support if they would stand up to SpeakerPelosi & RepAdamSmith and support the troops by ending the Disabled Veterans Tax. Voting for the NDAA & defense appropriations will only continue that tax.
👎🏻
Oh look! The swamp rats had baby rats! Ugh! Call the exterminator! Educated fools!
National Security and Dems? You gotta be kidding me. Build the wall and close the border first, than worry about national security. But the border stays open. They lose to much money when closing the border or building the wall!
GTFO
These people think the Democrat Party are actually interested in national security... Democrats...the party of racism, slavery, the clan, and open borders so as to change demographics and turn red into blue. A completely disgraceful party that needs to reinvent itself, majorly.
🤮

Thanks I'll pass.
Let’s not forget lizcheney_WY she brings the experience from another woman, but the right. Daddy lied us into a war and I’m his daughter.
POTUS really. I thought both sides were corrupt? fakenews WAKEUPAMERICA FACTSMATTER SAVEAMERICA UNITEDNOTDIVIDED WWG1WGA
Have we been attacked? I remember Obama saying ISIS was under control and the next day a Uhaul mowed down a bunch of people in Paris. Im just stating facts. It was literally the next day after he said that
This is a joke, right?
President Trump with his tweets, national emergency powers and presidential orders has rendered the USA Congress utterly useless.
Abigail Spanberger (left) is among the best of the new members of Congress, if not the best
Please take over our generations lost it... PeteButtigieg 🇺🇸 2020 Not out of touch with reality.
There will not be a WAR while TRUMP is in office!
Sure wish they would come out of the closet. They are the ones I was excited about in the last election.
These 4 are idiots. Any other news?
Too white
