Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the high-profile freshman from New York, is leaving open the option of forcing House members to return to Washington to cast a vote on the $2 trillion stimulus package barreling through Congress.
The New York Democrat has expressed her frustration with reports of the stimulus deal, suggesting it's too tilted towards corporations. The deal was reached between senators from both parties -- including the senior Democratic senator from her state, Chuck Schumer, and the White House. On Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez told CNN she is not ruling out asking for a recorded vote, which would force lawmakers to return to Washington and vote in-person, something that most members of Congress are eager to avoid amid the coronavirus pandemic. Asked if she had concerns about forcing lawmakers to return, which would be an unpopular move, she said, "Of course."

I return to Twitter after 24 hours, and a Bronx bartender is now in charge of Congress. #DemocratsLiePeopleDie #AOC https://t.co/JWbH9CasRc— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) March 25, 2020
Pelosi is shorting the recent gains.
she could object to the voice vote
The last time a bartender gave me a warning, it was something about quittin’ time.
You forget the traitorous Republicans who will give 500,000 H1B Indians and Communist Chinese visa extensions for 1 year and priority hiring over Americans. The Tech Sector’s wet dream.
I just wish the Jolly Green Giant would stomp this little self important moron into little mushy pieces and spare us further tales of her adventures in imbecility.
Scrawny witch.
”How does a freshwoman congresswoman have the say so?“
Exactly!!!
How does a 1st termer have such power?
Or is she just a legend in her own mind?
She is dumping on her own district. The crap really comes to the surface during a crisis.
delusional suffering from napoleonic comlpex and overrated send e of self worth. Schiff-Syndrone.
Squad gets Seth Rich treatment???
SENSE of self-worth
I started a business in 82 and I told my CPA 2+2 is what I say it is. Lots of cash and all that.
She and Greta are the look-at-me-cause-I-will-never-ever-get-enough-attention twins.
No, she has her talons into Pelosi Galore to be sure.
But Pelosi Galore controls her own fate. unless she has dementia as bad as Plugs. (possible)
Have you been to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and other large cities in the US? San Francisco is actually small, only 49 square miles and it's very expensive.
And, for the life of me I can't think WHY, if New York, San Francisco Bay Area (7 million) and Los Angeles and other large places are so horrible, so many people want to live there. Why not live in glorious North Dakota or Wyoming? I spent some time in Wyoming and loved it.
Oh well, at least I can say I've BEEN there instead of blathering on about places I don't know.
All she has to do is raise a point of order that suggests the absence of a quorum. I hope she does it. First because it will piss all the legislooters off at her and second, because this vote should be recorded.
Proof positive that psychopathic communists have a major hold on the Democrat Party.
