Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York went off on members of her own party Thursday amid a looming government shutdown, saying, "American people, whether they are Republicans, independents, Democrats, are up in arms about Elon Musk and the actual gutting of federal agencies across the board."

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare

[DallasBiff]

Oh gawd she pushes the big lie again.

Success in the progressive leftist party, is when grandma gets free cat food to eat.

"American people, whether they are Republicans, independents, Democrats, are up in arms about Elon Musk and the actual gutting of federal agencies across the board."

Is she high? We're delighted!

[llevrok]

Has motive. She wants his senate seat and sees a political opportunity.

[Williams]

Democrats are despicable liars.

[Fledermaus]

I agree with her. I’m up in arms...Applauding!

“American people, whether they are Republicans, independents, Democrats, are up in arms about Elon Musk and the actual gutting of federal agencies across the board.”

Actually, we are not. We support it.

[DeplorablePaul]

What leverage? AOC really hasn’t thought this out.

AOC: Fire Musk, rehire fed workers or else!
Thune: No
AOC: Republicans will suffer from a government shutdown.
Thune: America likes what DOGE is doing.
AOC: America will see how much they need fed workers
Thune: The OBM will permanently fire non essential workers.
AOC: Never mind

Sandy from Westchester has a big collection of scrunchies.

“ up in arms about Elon Musk and the actual gutting of federal agencies across the board.”

The only ones “up in arms” are the rats and their hack Judges.
