(The truth is, the GOP loves spending the public’s money - but only when it’s to benefit themselves, the very wealthy, & their industry friends. See: oil subsidies, the trillion-dollar GOP tax scam, etc, etc) — PolitiTweet.org

The real tea is that Jeff Sessions gets publicly subsidized haircuts to look as self-made as possible before telling everyone else to lift themselves up by their bootstraps. Wonder how many other Republicans do the same? 🍵🍵🍵 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Won’t you look at that: Mike Pence used *taxpayer funds* - not personal ones - to spend several thousand haircuts’ worth of public money on a visit to Trump golf courses. I wonder if Republicans care about corruption as much as they care about a woman’s cut & color. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

40 million Americans live in poverty under today’s extreme inequality, yet the right-wing want you to blame Democratic socialism for their own moral failures. Our policies, like Medicare for All, advance prosperity for working people. They’re just mad we look good doing it 💁🏽‍♀️ — PolitiTweet.org

Trump decision isn’t about drawing down US military involvement at all. Remember that earlier this year, Trump VETOED Congress’ attempt to end US involvement in the Yemen War. He has significant personal financial conflicts of interest in this situation, among other concerns. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Federal govs are failing to act on the climate crisis. We can’t wait for others to lead. That’s why I’m in Copenhagen w/ C40 mayors, trade unions, youth climate strikers, business & citizen reps from around the world to rally for a Global #GreenNewDeal. https://t.co/uJjcrkjbTH — PolitiTweet.org

I was in a conversation*this year* w/ many people in the room &one guy asked if he could rescind a job offer if he found out a candidate was pregnant. In my early 20s I was told that if I got engaged, don’t wear the ring to interviews to better my odds. This is *present day.* — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s sudden withdrawal from northern Syria & endorsement of Turkey’s actions could have catastrophic consequences & risks laying the ground for immense violence and suffering. We can pursue a strategy to stop our endless wars without endangering the lives of innocent people. — PolitiTweet.org

When Republicans say our nation‘s laws are “just a joke,” they mean it. They treat our country as a joke, our communities as a joke, and our future as a joke. For the GOP, as long as the rich get richer, they are happy to play games with American lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Lastly, people tend to say “what do you do with all the violent people?” as a defense for incarcerating millions. Our lawmaking process means we come to solutions together, &either way we should work to an end where our prison system is dramatically smaller than it is today. /4 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Secondly, our prison & jail system is so large bc we use them as de facto mental hospitals, homeless shelters, & detox centers instead of *actually* investing in... mental health, housing, edu, & rehab. If we invested meaningfully, what do you think would happen to crime? /3 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

First of all, many people in jailed or in prison don’t belong there at all. Whether it’s punitive sentencing for marijuana possession or jailing people for their poverty & letting the rich free through systems like cash bail, we wrongly incarcerate far, far too many people. /2 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

I know the term “prison abolition” is breaking some people’s brains. The right is already freaking out. Yet the US incarcerates more than anywhere in the world. We have more than enough room to close many of our prisons and explore just alternatives to incarceration. /1 — PolitiTweet.org
