.@fatjoe really put the heat on and pressed me for my Top Five after asking me about federal COVID response 😭 Thank you Joe - I’m thankful we had the opportunity to connect and talk about how coronavirus is impacting our communities, and have some lighter moments thrown in too. — PolitiTweet.org

GOP is seriously arguing that it’s worth sacrificing the lives of hourly workers so they can get a spray tan again. If they really wanted to reopen the economy, they‘d fund mass testing, contact tracing,& healthcare for people. Instead they’re fighting against hospital funding. — PolitiTweet.org

My mom learned English at 23 and sent 2 kids to college scrubbing toilets after my dad died. She raised the youngest woman elected to Congress. You should take your classist garbage & realize that the workers YOU rely on to eat are not ‘disappointments’ or unworthy human beings. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Also can we talk about how racist & classist the presumption is that when people say they are from the Bronx, folks like Tucker equate that with assuming all the worst things abt our upbringing? Our lives don’t have to match some chicken heir’s idea of struggle to be validated. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve lost track - Am I “just a bartender” who should go back to making drinks without health insurance, or am I a secretly deceitful child of privilege because I’m an heiress of the Swanson frozen food empire OH WAIT sorry that’s Tucker Carlson. — PolitiTweet.org

@Dburns4221 When the coal industry started a long-term decline, instead of moving swiftly to support workers, DC got into a lobbyist-friendly vicious cycle of bailouts that helped co’s more than it helped workers. This time we need to invest in creating opportunities & financial security. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@Dburns4221 What we need to do is bring workers like you to the table in our transition to renewable infrastructure, & guaranteeing pensions for fossil fuel workers. If you see what is happening to coal workers, the mines get $ and workers are hung to dry. We can’t allow for that to happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This snapshot is being acknowledged as a turning point in the climate movement. Fossil fuels are in long-term structural decline. This along w/ low interest rates means it‘s the right time to create millions of jobs transitioning to renewable and clean energy. A key opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org

You absolutely love to see it. This along with record low interest rates means it’s the right time for a worker-led, mass investment in green infrastructure to save our planet. *cough* — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It is simply outrageous that Congress is considering voting on a small, patchwork bill after being out of session for a MONTH and recessing again without knowing when we will next convene. Thousands of people are DYING. PPP will quickly run out again. We need a bigger bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Rent doesn’t wait on Congress. I understand the idea of an “interim” patch bill, but if Congress doesn’t know when it will next convene, we need to vote on a bigger fix now. We need WAY more for PPP, $2000 monthly cash payments (plus $1k for each child), & cover health bills. — PolitiTweet.org
