Absentee Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn’t just MIA in her own district – her mandatory 2024 financial disclosure documents were also missing for months. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was among lawmakers who asked for a 90-day extension when they first came due back in May, but she then missed the second deadline, The Post has learned. The socialist lawmaker finally filed Wednesday, a week late. The socialist lawmaker reported she has somewhere between $17,000 and $81,000 in bank accounts and owes $15,000 to $50,000 in student loans. The federal filings list finances in ranges. Among her assets, the “Squad” member listed $15,000 to...

Democratic US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, a key fundraiser for her party, is calling for donations to “directly” support the Texas Democrats who broke quorum to block a vote on the state’s new congressional map. In a fundraising email from her team, Ocasio-Cortez said proceeds will be split with former US Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s Texas political action committee, Powered By People. The PAC raised more than $700,000 for state House Democrats during a similar quorum break in 2021. The fundraising email said Ocasio-Cortez and Powered By People are racing money “to support these lawmakers directly as Gov. (Greg)...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is under fire from the House Committee on Ethics for misrepresenting her fiancé, Riley Roberts, as both her “spouse” and “non-spouse” on official filings—allowing him to receive perks reserved exclusively for congressional spouses. Last month, the Ethics Committee’s July 2025 report revealed that Ocasio-Cortez listed Roberts as her “spouse” on travel documents related to her controversial appearance at the 2021 Met Gala, despite not being legally married to him. The same report highlighted that she failed to list him as a spouse on her required financial disclosures, which would have triggered mandatory reporting of Roberts’ financial assets....

In a move that surprised many on both sides of the political aisle, progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) recently voted — with an overwhelming majority of House Democrats and Republicans — to support funding for Israel’s Iron Dome defense system. To be sure, Ocasio-Cortez’s vote made little difference to the final tally. The amendment, sponsored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), which could have cut U.S. support, was shot down 422-6. Nevertheless, voting to support continued funding was extremely revealing for what it says about Ocasio-Cortez’s grander ambitions. Indeed, not only did her vote mark a clear break with other...

Say hello to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Say hello to a blue wave in the 2026 midterms. Say hello in 2028 to President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. If President Trump and congressional Republicans keep this up, it will only be the start of the progressive takeover. Left-wing populists are already winning over voters by raising hell about the rising price of clothes and groceries due to tariffs. The growing appetite for populist left voices damning the high cost of living made headlines earlier this year in the successful “Fighting Oligarchy,” tour featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez.

New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani received a hero’s welcome from lefty members of Congress – including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders – as he trekked down to Washington DC Wednesday in hopes of garnering more support from an array of Dems. The 33-year-old socialist attended a breakfast event hosted by Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at the AC Hotel in Navy Yard that was filled with mostly House Democrats, including Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who endorsed Mamdani after his shocking Democratic mayoral primary win last month. Many of Congress’ most ardent liberals were quick to get face time with...

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has always tiptoed close to the line when it comes to allegations of defamation against President Trump, but this time she might have finally crossed it. Critics of AOC are calling on President Donald Trump to sue the “Squad” Democrat after she called him a “rapist” in a blustery social media post over the weekend in reference to a civil judgment in the case brought by E. Jean Carroll. “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” Ocasio-Cortez posted to X on Friday. The 2023 case...

Critics reference ABC's $15M settlement with Trump after similar characterization by George Stephanopoulos New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being accused of defaming President Donald Trump by calling him a "rapist" on social media amid controversy over the Department of Justice's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. The far-left Democrat, who has traded barbs with Trump repeatedly across both of their political careers, weighed in on the current controversy surrounding disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his New York City jail cell in 2019 after facing federal charges related to child sex trafficking.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was ripped on social media after she called President Trump “a rapist” online — with many suggesting a tweet from the Congresswoman was grounds for a defamation lawsuit from the commander in chief. Ocasio-Cortez sparked outrage when she tweeted Friday about Trump and the release of files related to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X, apparently referring to Trump and the 2023 civil trial where he was found liable of sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll....

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded to ridicule over calling herself a “Bronx girl” by claiming she grew up “between” the city and the leafy suburbs — but locals near her childhood home are still confused. People from Yorktown — many of whom grew up in the Bronx themselves — chimed in on the liberal firebrand’s narrative about her youth after her yearbook photos recirculated on social media and AOC fundraised off the criticisms but still avoided saying she lived in upper Westchester County. “You can tell right out of the gate she isn’t from the Bronx. Listen to her!” insisted retired...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denounced President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill as a “scam” and a “deal with the devil” in a fiery speech Wednesday on the House floor. As the sprawling bill inches toward passage, Ocasio-Cortez accused Trump of lying about the measure that cuts Medicaid and food stamps for the poor while slashing taxes on tips and providing big breaks for the wealthy and large corporations. “It doesn’t take a smart person to know if you are being lied to,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens, Bronx) said. “President Trump, you’re either being lied to or you are lying to the American people.” The...

New York leftist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez loves to present herself as someone who grew up in the hood. A person who knows the streets, is tough, and faced a hard life. None of that is true. She grew up in an affluent area, went to Boston University where the tuition is currently more than $60K a year, and interned at the office of the late Senator Ted Kennedy. The Gateway Pundit ran an exclusive report about this back in 2019, exposing AOC’s true past when she was known as “Sandy.” During one of her recent and stupid quips on Twitter/X, she...

NY state assemblyman shares yearbook photo showing Ocasio-Cortez attended suburban high school nearly an hour from the Bronx A New York state lawmaker called out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., over her upbringing after she referred to herself as a tough "Bronx girl" during an internet spat in which she traded jabs with President Donald Trump. State Assemblyman Matt Slater, a Republican, called out the progressive firebrand, who represents portions of the Bronx and Queens, and shared an image of her during her freshman year in suburban Yorktown High School, almost an hour north of the Bronx. "If you’re a BX...

@RepMTG My thoughts on bombing Iran. I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal illegal aliens or MURDERED by Cartel and Chinese fentanyl/drugs. Almost everyone in our country can relate to this fact. However America has not dropped bunker busters on the Cartel’s sophisticated drug tunnels, launched tomahawks on massive cartel poisonous drug operations, or gone to war against the cartels international terrorists networks. Neocon warmongers beat their drums of war and act like Billy badasses...

Ocasio-Cortez Calls for Trump to Be Impeached over U.S Strikes on Iran Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) speaks at a town hall gathering on May 2, 2025 in NewDavid Dee Delgado/Getty Images Elizabeth Weibel21 Jun 20258 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called for President Donald Trump to be impeached over the United States launching strikes on several nuclear sites in Iran. In a post on X, Ocasio-Cortez claimed that Trump’s decision to “bomb Iran without authorization” was a “grave violation” of the U.S. Constitution. “The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional...

Infamous “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) recently issued a reaction to the attack on individuals calling for the release of Israeli hostages still in Hamas captivity during a demonstration held in Boulder, Colorado, this past weekend. She stated in a post on social media that she was “horrified” by the attack. “My heart is with the victims and our Jewish communities across the country,” the post said. “Antisemitism is on the rise here at home, and we have a moral responsibility to confront and stop it everywhere it exists.” One person who wasn’t impressed by the reaction was former Major...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a potential Democrat presidential primary candidate, is again calling for the abolishment of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which enforces the nation’s immigration laws. Ocasio-Cortez won her congressional race in 2018 partly on a platform that promised to dismantle and ultimately abolish ICE, even suggesting that illegal aliens deserve a “right of passage” into the United States. Ocasio-Cortez eventually dropped the “Abolish ICE” talking point from her stump speech after polls found that even a majority of Democrats did not want the federal agency to be wiped out. In a new campaign email, just as...

ATLANTA (AP) — The billionaire heir and the former bartender.Many Democrats have been in and out of the spotlight as the party looks for effective counters to President Donald Trump and his second administration. But two disparate figures, Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, have seen their national profiles rise by delivering messages that excite a demoralized and fractured party. The governor, a 60-year-old heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, and the congresswoman, the 35-year-old with working-class roots, both won their first elections in 2018. Both have urged mass resistance and accused their party...

What these neighborhoods really need is a “Squad” car. Major crime rose by an eye-popping 70% in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Bronx and Queens district since the ‘defund the police’ socialist lawmaker took office in 2019 — more than double the citywide increase of 30% over that same span, a Post analysis of NYPD data shows. The 110th Precinct in Queens, which covers part of the infamous “Market of Sweethearts” human-trafficking and prostitution mecca on Roosevelt Avenue, saw a 105% surge, the highest increase of any NYC precinct in that period. Major crimes consist of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary,...
