@hartmannreport.com Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez serves on the House Committee on Energy & Commerce. She was on Oversight during the last session.
She's decided not to run for ranking member of Oversight, in part because she'd have to change committees.

Pneumonia is why I haven't posted much in the last month.
As I've said, I like photographing #birds. Here's a black-capped chickadee from February 11, 2023 when it was close to 50°F (9°C). L.H. Barkhausen Waterfowl Preserve just north of Green Bay, WI #naturephotography #nature #wildlife

I was born in TN where the state flower is the iris. I don't know if that's influenced my choice of "favorites," but irises are my favorite flower. Here's one I photographed on June 7, 2020 at a county park just west of Green Bay, WI #purple #iris #irises #flower #naturephotography #photograph

📌 April 27, 2022 ... I have a problem with kingfishers. They see my camera and fly off. Sometimes they fly a little further down the road where they perch until I get there ... when they move again. It's an occasion when I get to photograph one. #birds #nature #naturephotography #kingfisher

📌 A male goldfinch from May 29, 2020 at Lily Lake County Park, just east of Green Bay, WI
I used to refer to them as "those damned little yellow birds" because they were always dashing off. The secret is to find them near feeders where they rest between bites.

June 7, 2022, on a little road on the NE side of Green Bay, WI. I usually find beautiful flowers to photograph there. Rarely do I see much in the line of wildlife. That day, I saw a couple of blue jays playing among the branches. Here's one of them. #birds #naturephotography #photography

📌 I became an opponent of the death penalty when we first discussed it in high school. I think it was my sophomore year. I haven't wavered in my opposition, even in the face of horrendous crimes. I applaud Pres. Biden's actions today. I would have commuted the sentences of all 40 death row inmates.

November 20, 2020, Lily Lake Co. Park just east of Green Bay, WI. I like blue jays because I like the color blue ... except that their blue feathers results from a unique inner wing structure that distorts the way light's reflected; making them appear blue. #birds #naturephotography #photography

I like photographing tiny birds, including dark eyed juncos. I took this photo at Lily Lake Co. Park, 10 miles east of Green Bay, WI. The man who filled the bird feeders retired and the park folks took the feeders down—and most of the birds disappeared. #birds #photography #naturephotography
