  • Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says Democrats aren't acting like they hold a majority in the Senate.
  • "I don't know if most people in the country even know what party is in the Senate majority," she said.
  • She said Democrats should "go after" the Supreme Court and engage in more aggressive oversight.

Democrats may effectively have a 51-seat majority in the Senate, but they sure aren't acting like it.

That's the assessment of Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, a member of the House oversight committee who says her party needs to use the tools of oversight far more aggressively.
