Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

The cynics will tell you that one vote won’t change anything. But what they don’t tell you is that nothing can change without a vote. The truth is, the world doesn’t belong to the cynics. It’s up to us. New York: It’s time to vote.🗳️ Tuesday, June 25th. Spread the word.

Here is a video of you voting to give $70,000,000,000 in additional funding to ICE

Thank you for your leadership, @GovKathyHochul. A data center moratorium gives lawmakers time to put strong protections in place and guarantee AI benefits all of us, not just a powerful few.

AI data centers are reshaping our future. No one gets to build that future by asking New Yorkers to sacrifice theirs. Today, I’m taking action.

JUST IN: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she is signing a moratorium on data centers in the state. abcnews.link/IgG5VkJ

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. When you open the trenches with all of this money that Republicans have now funneled to ICE without any oversight, you’re going to see abuses of power. That’s exactly what’s happening. Notice that we didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree of regularity when we froze ICE funding. And now that it’s been opened up again, we’re seeing multiple incidents.

Israel must release pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who has been held without charge for 18 months and now faces an imminent threat to his life from torture. Israel must end the targeting of health workers and the inhumane treatment of Palestinians in arbitrary detention.

AOC has spent her career taking on the powerful on behalf of everyday people, and she has shown all of us what courageous, smart, values-driven leadership looks like. I'm deeply honored to earn her endorsement. Onward to victory. 2018➡️2026

Rep. @AOC just introduced a powerful set of amendments to the NDAA, addressing human rights and infrastructure issues from Brazil to Bangladesh. The U.S. can and should have a proactive, justice-oriented foreign policy

AOC on Water Crisis in Puerto Rico: You have people who can’t get water out of their taps, and yet golf courses are being watered without interruption. People are really suffering tremendously. So we want to make sure that we are introducing amendments around water quality across the board.

@nypost Wrong!

AOC says Congress should break up Apple amid looming price hikes for MacBooks and iPhones trib.al/faAhVQG

@Polymarket That is not what I said 😂

AOC responds to centrists telling socialists to leave the Party: "You can't tell them to get out and then in a Presidential cycle tell them they have an obligation to vote for you".

AOC on JD Vance: “He wants more of the same. He doesn’t want anything to change in this country. He wants to continue the reality that corruption is normal and he loves the way the country is being governed right now. He loves that you can start an illegal war and make tons of people rich and send Americans into harms way and it’ll barely be a blip on people’s radars. His vision for the future is exactly the same and your life won’t change so long that he’s in charge”

THIS MORNING. .@AOC will join Keep Hope Alive with Rev. Jesse Jackson at 9:30am.

Congratulations to our newest members of the NYC congressional delegation. From public servants to union organizers to community activists, the path is different but the work is the same. We must decisively address the affordability crisis and crush far-right extremism!

AOC: Mike Johnson paints this as though it’s some partisan witch hunt. But if you don’t want to be prosecuted for crimes, don’t do crimes. And he’s talking about running a protection racket. And we are already seeing that this Trump administration has run what some have called one of the largest pedophile protection programs in American history. And so when Mike Johnson tells a group of wealthy donors, I'm the only thing standing between you, and a consequence that should rattle at the conscience of every American. What he wants to do is create—or rather, not even create, because it’s already been created—but protect a class of impunity in America that says, “You can commit whatever crime, and so long as you pay a check to us, we will protect you.” And that is a model of extortion in American politics. And you know what? That’s their pitch.

AOC: The Republican Party’s brand is fear. And they have to constantly churn out what they want people to be afraid of—to be afraid of socialists, to be afraid of immigrants, to be afraid of women. They constantly want Americans in fear of somebody because, if you are not afraid of someone who is your neighbor, you’re going to realize who’s actually pickpocketing you. And that is the large corporations that are engaged in profiteering and jacking up your prices for no good reason. It’s going to be this administration that is engaged in record levels of swindling, theft, tariffs, and attacks on your housing. And so this is kind of their new thing of the day. But I think that people are feared out. I think everyone’s nerves are shot from constantly being taught and told what country, person, or community to be afraid of. And they just want a solution. They want their groceries to be more affordable. They want to figure out how we’re going to get health care. They want our housing to get under control. And I think that we’re ready for an affirmative vision, and we’re ready for an affirmative agenda.

We are proud to endorse Justin J. Pearson for Congress in Tennessee’s 9th District. Justin will be a fearless fighter for the working people of Tennessee, not billionaires or corporations. Go to votejustinj.com to join the movement.

Wow..House Energy and Commerce Committee ranking member Frank Pallone calls for a nationwide data center moratorium at start of markup of legislation on more modest Ratepayer Protection Act. Becomes highest-ranked Dem to call for this
