You know why all this backlash happens when we say “Tax the Rich?” Because the unquestionable norm is to tax the poor & working class. Maybe instead of taxing people who need baby formula and essential goods, we tax those who have profited billions from a global pandemic? — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We know that neither “acknowledging science” nor “food rationing under crony capitalism” works in their understanding of reality so they’re gonna go with “food staples sold out because of a tweet once” — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

No, I just googled how to make my own adobo. But of course Fox would rather indulge their made up fantasies than acknowledge that in the Trump admin’s catastrophic response to COVID, millions of people rushed to buy canned goods which then had to be rationed at grocery stores 🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The GOP acts like they care, but behind closed doors, this is what they actually say about the working class. Good to know how little you truly think of food workers, @DanCrenshawTX. I wonder: did you have catering while bonding w/ wealthy donors over your disdain for the poor? — PolitiTweet.org

(Frankly they’ve exploded for far longer than that too) — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

College costs have exploded over the last 10-20 years & wages have not kept up. It’s a totally different landscape and the fact they’re using anecdotal experience from 20+ years ago to reinforce their opinions instead of looking at current cost/wage data is disturbing. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

These Republicans who are defensively rage-tweeting “But you’re wrong! I worked my way to pay through college!!” don’t realize they sound like folks who speak of the days when Hershey bars were 5¢ at the general store. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Forever telling on yourselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

My comments were directed at Republicans who mock my history in service work. That includes President Trump, who you’ve stood by and defended through such attacks, by the way. But if that boorishness doesn’t apply to you, then why feel the rush to defend yourself? — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Pretty sad how much people have been conditioned to believe that not getting crushed by costs of healthcare, housing, education, and low wages is either “radical left politics” or “nice but unrealistic” — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

These COVID negotiations should be public. The public should be able to see who is holding stimulus checks hostage & demanding immunity for big corporations exposing workers to COVID. The secrecy protects them. It’s harder to do these things without the closed door. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Canada did $2,000/monthly. The US is the richest nation on earth and a 2nd stimulus check is getting blocked bc GOP want corporate bailouts & austerity in “exchange” for it. Maybe if everyone in the US incorporated as an LLC, Mitch McConnell would actually do something for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Another day on the radical left with our crazy ideas — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

COVID relief needs to directly help everyday people. People need stimulus checks & UI. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Republicans like to make fun of the fact that I used to be a waitress, but we all know if they ever had to do a double they’d be the ones found crying in the walk-in fridge halfway through their first shift bc someone yelled at them for bringing seltzer when they wanted sparkling — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The thing that these conservative Senators don’t seem to understand is that I’ve actually had a physically difficult working-class job without good healthcare most of my adult life. I bring that work ethic to Congress & to my community. They sit around on leather chairs all day. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Yesterday I recruited 5,000 volunteers to train and tutor kids in my community who are struggling with remote learning, and that was after investigating the Treasury Secretary’s rationale for stopping CARES Act funding and voting on House legislation. What did you do? — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We’ve passed multiple COVID relief bills, far more generous than GOP’s for working people, that GOP are sitting on in the Senate. & the “pot” bills that you are so dismissive of will expunge millions of people’s records from the unjust War on Drugs. STILL no reason to adjourn. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We’re trying to get COVID relief and stimulus checks out to people and right now Republicans are trying to prematurely adjourn Congress. People are going hungry and they’re treating this like a game. Leaders don’t abandon people in their time of greatest need. — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbroken at the collapse of the Arecibo Observatory. As a little girl, my parents often brought me on the hike up to the observatory and I would watch with awe at the scientific wonders it had to offer. 🔭 This is a tragedy. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Republicans are freaking out bc we don’t use slave-wage labor for merch that funds grassroots organizing. But what’s the difference between Trump’s merch and ours? Ours is made in the US. 🇺🇸 (& for GOP who joke that we shld give 👕 for free, we actually do - just volunteer 😉) — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Black-owned small businesses were widely shut out from accessing PPP loans, yet right-wing disinfo org PV took half a million in public money while decrying direct federal assistance as “radical socialism.” Republicanism in a nutshell. (Also they’re based in Mamaroneck?! 👀) — PolitiTweet.org
