Ummm, no, poster Oldestyle.
Any attention to the latest negotiations in Washington over the debt ceiling and the spending bills will reveal their is no "Squad calling the shots'. "Squad" being Don Trump's pejorative name for 3 or 4 Democratic women who lean progressive. Rather, the many voices of the Democratic congressional delegations ...274 people, Reps & Senators.....have competing agendas and voices. Otherwise, a more unified party could have almost ramrodded whatever legislation they felt was best for America.
The progressive wing certainly has a more assertive voice than prior.... including not only the "Squad", plus others .....however, their agenda has been contested, modified, altered, time and time again by other Democrat interests.
I suspect you made the assertion you did simply to advance a polemic, a partisan interest of yours, and did so without proper vetting or homework.
Why are they called the 'Squad'? How four freshman Democrats got their group nickname
The "Squad" refers to four minority congresswomen: Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib, and Pressley. And it all started with a photo caption.

Perhaps YOU should get your facts straight before you accuse others of not doing their "homework"?
