Angry voters vent at the old school tactics of veteran Democratic leaders. @GuyMarzorati talks with voters in a Republican district who came out Sunday to hear @RoKhanna criticize their GOP congressional represenative and call for bold action. https://t.co/vxEOWXdS6a

As @RoKhanna prepares to hold town hall meetings in Republican congressional districts, he talks with @mlagos and me about why he's venturing into red districts, where Democrats went wrong and winning back voters. https://t.co/9Xfz7z5Ivq

.@SpeakerPelosi warns of more "erratic gyrations" to come from the Trump Administration. https://t.co/rMOXfuBKFb

Asked if she will serve out the remainder of her 2-year House term, @SpeakerPelosi says: "Why? Why is that an issue?" As to political speculation: "I don't read all that stuff. I don't read it. No, I will honor my responsibilities to my constituents. I love being in Congress."

To @KQED @SpeakerPelosi says of Jan. 6 pardons "I take personal offense. They were coming after me to put a bullet in my F-word head, as they said ... it's part of changing the narrative to say nothing really happened. Nobody was violent. It's crazy. It's sick. But it's Trump."
