Wow. We officially raised $1 million for Texas relief at 9:17pm. Thank you all so much. 🙏🏽 I’m at a loss for words. Always in awe of movement work. 💯% of this relief is going straight to Texan food assistance, homelessness relief, elder care, and more. secure.actblue.com/donate/aoc-soc…

@mtgreenee should be expelled from Congress (and also maybe the planet?). Imagine being so belligerently ignorant and self-obsessed that you do this. For shame @RepMTG! For shame! @GOP @GOPLeader
