Our political system’s reliance on huge sums of money has many negative impacts, but one of the largest is that it takes lawmakers’ time away from lawmaking. That’s a feature, not a flaw - the less time lawmakers have, the more special interests can slip in harmful provisions. — PolitiTweet.org

Instead, your support allows me to spend hours each day studying issues & exposing abuse of power. So while Fox continues to laugh that I’m “just a bartender,” I’ve spend the whole year studying big pharma, private equity, military contractors, and Mark Zuckerberg’s shady deals. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

There is, of course, much more time for me to be fully present at my job. In Congress, this is a luxury. Since I don’t spend hours each day asking for money, I spend a lot more time legislating, studying, & preparing/sitting in hearings. This has cumulative effects over time. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

I intentionally built my campaign to rely on small-dollar grassroots support w/o any corporate $, because I felt that’s the best way to be accountable to everyday people. It has impacted how I work in Congress in powerful ways - ways I couldn’t fully appreciate until I got here. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

While many try to belittle a progressive agenda that centers working people & the public good, in truth it’s more powerful than ever. I haven’t picked up a phone once this year to dial for dollars, & I don’t meet w/ corp lobbyists. That is the power of your grassroots support. — PolitiTweet.org

Public education, libraries, & infrastructure policies (which we‘ve had before in America and elsewhere in the world!) are not “free stuff.” They are PUBLIC GOODS. And they are worth investing in, protecting, & advancing for all society and future generations. Sincerely, NY-14 — PolitiTweet.org

In my first 11 months I’ve cosponsored 339 pieces of legislation, authored 15, took on Big Pharma w/ my colleagues in hearings that brought PreP generic a year early & exposed abuse of power. In 4 years, you’ve jailed kids & made corruption the cause celebré. Try to keep up. — PolitiTweet.org

Spent today organizing and hosting a teach-in with our public housing residents at Pelham Parkway Houses. As we wrapped up the event, I went to admire the art by children in the community hung up on the walls. This one stayed with me: https://t.co/gKGjvoYzZY — PolitiTweet.org

Many have told me they think the pro-justice & worker provisions in the Green New Deal are “unnecessary.” Yet this example is why a just transition is vital. Without it, oil barons turn into energy barons, & workers are hurt all the same. Bright Power must be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org
