@JayDavidMurphy This is so generous & kind. I don’t think you should worry about “giving up” your vaccine so others can have it. Each state has distribution priorities & healthcare workers are at the top. For now I’d say when your state says ppl you are eligible, feel free to make an appt. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

I also answered a lot of questions last night on Instagram, which you can find here: https://t.co/VLQElcBTX9 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

If you have any questions or unease about the COVID vaccine, I got you! I’d *never* ask you to do something I wasn’t willing to do myself. Yday per national security policy (PPD40), Congress began getting vaccinated. I took the jab & am here to answer your questions. Ask away! https://t.co/ZyBgXi7kRl — PolitiTweet.org

“A Bloomberg analysis of government labor statistics reveals that in community after community where Amazon sets up shop, warehouse wages tend to fall.” https://t.co/bF9WaTCuiY — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This is why “Amazon jobs” aren’t it & we should instead focus our public investments + incentives on small businesses, public infrastructure, & worker cooperatives that actually support dignified life. A “job” that leaves you homeless & on food stamps isn’t a job. It’s a scam. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@JCisnerosTX I just want you to know that supporting you was 100% worth it. If calling out anti-choice policies & holding institutions accountable for blocking working class women like you is a source of political retribution, I’m ok w/ that. You’re amazing & I’m proud of you. Keep shining. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Blocking critical funds in a pandemic is an act that knowingly creates hunger, eviction, & desperation. Republicans fearmonger about “violence,” but what is knowingly creating hunger, eviction, sickness if not violence? If you care about deficits so much, then tax the rich. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Also to be clear, here are just SOME of the items Republicans are fighting tooth and nail against in the middle of a pandemic: - 2nd round of $1200 checks - Restoring unemployment $ - Money for school, hospital, public transit - Retroactive benefits - Mortgage & rent protections — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We have also demanded school, hospital, and mass transit funding (aka “state and local”) and Republicans have treated that as a “deal breaker.” Yes. Teacher salaries and funding school safety measures for safe reopening are a “dealbreaker” for GOP. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Let me make something EXTRA clear. Dems have demanded: - $1200 checks - restoring $600 UI - Retroactive benefits That’s not just a statement- even Speaker Pelosi has pushed for retroactive benefits. Senate Republicans are hacking it back to $600 & demanding corporate bailouts. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

If Republicans are suddenly so concerned about government spending after their years of corrupt giveaways, I have a great solution for them. Let’s repeal the $2 TRILLION GOP tax scam from ‘17 to pay for a whole slew of proposals that actually help working people. Done ✅ — PolitiTweet.org

Tired of these people encouraging, ignoring, and excusing their own abusive behavior for years to then turn around and act like the biggest coddled babies in the world. People are hungry and this is what you’re mad about. Take that energy to supporting retroactive UI & checks — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

.@marcorubio you stood by in total silence when your GOP colleague called a Congresswoman a “f— b—“ on the Capitol steps in front of press. You weren’t big enough to speak then, & you don’t get to sob now. BTW that is the right word for those who fleece & scam working families. https://t.co/qIERPlV7HR — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This is a big deal. Historic appointment. A visionary Native woman in charge of federal lands. Unequivocally progressive. Green New Deal champion. Exquisitely experienced. @RepDebHaaland sister, you are going to do such a great job. I am so proud of you and the movement. — PolitiTweet.org

Yep, journalists have asked me (and others!) this same question for two years and I’ve answered the same way almost every time but for some reason today it’s “news.” (It’s not news) I am however guilty of the cardinal political sin of clearly answering a journalists’ question — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

And if you don’t want your member to vote for a $600 deal, you really need to tell them that. Don’t think “oh I voted for a Dem, we’ll be fine.” No. If there’s an amount that’s too little, or any other red line that you want them to vote NO on, then you need to tell them that. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@Flargenstow ONE. Anything recurring would be $300 UI — PolitiTweet.org
