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...

Lefty firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spoke out on her suburban high school yearbook pic — but still continued to dodge her Westchester County upbringing. “I’m proud of how I grew up and talk about it all the time,” AOC said on X Friday. “My mom cleaned houses and I helped. We cleaned tutors’ homes in exchange for SAT prep. “Growing up between the Bronx and Yorktown deeply shaped my views of inequality & it’s a big reason I believe the things I do today!” But the Democratic congresswoman’s “Bronx girl” claims have repeatedly come under fire, with folks in...

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Border Czar Tom Homan confirms a federal investigation is underway into AOC for employing a criminal alien on her congressional staff and instructing them on how to evade ICE: "It's being looked at. We've asked ICE to drill in on that case. It's under investigation. As far as her educating people on how to evade ICE arrests, she's really educating them on how to be prosecuted. We have instructed ICE to start prosecuting these cases."

In an address to Iranian citizens Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told them that "we have repelled the aggressors who treacherously tried to take our land from us. Though many of our heroic military leaders lost their lives in the conflict the nation as a whole has survived the bombings. I have successfully eluded assassination." "Our victory was achieved in only 12 days," he added. "The Zionist little Satan hit us with everything they had, but was forced to retreat without accomplishing their goal of dislodging me from my post or causing our people to lose faith in the eventual triumph of...

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand from New York has strongly challenged Mayor Zoran Mamdani’s controversial remarks regarding the Intifada, asserting that if democratic socialists are serious about leading New York City, they must openly denounce it. Gillibrand, known for her pro-Israel stance, criticized Mamdani for not rejecting the “globalization of Intifadas,” particularly as he requested a sit-down to further explain his position. “As the leader of a city as diverse as New York, home to the largest Jewish population in the country, he should take a clear stand,” Gillibrand remarked during a conversation on WNYC. The senator pointed out that it’s insufficient...

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...

This is just the latest casualty in a party that doesn’t know who it is anymore.Andrew Cuomo’s political comeback is officially dead. The former New York governor conceded Tuesday’s Democratic primary for New York City mayor to Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist who rose a wave of far-left energy to victory. The message from Democrat voters was loud and clear: the old guard is no longer welcome. Cuomo’s loss isn’t just about one race in one city; it is a warning sign for Democrats nationwide. It proves the deep rift within the party has only widened since their disastrous...

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...

…Housing affordability and quality-of-life concerns are pushing longtime Black New Yorkers out of the city, underscoring Democrats’ challenges with their base ahead of the mayoral election… For the better part of the 35 years that she lived in Brooklyn’s East New York neighborhood, Dorinda Pannell made affordable housing her top — if not only — mission. A lifelong Democrat, tenant leader with East Brooklyn Congregations and avid voter, Ms. Pannell, 75, known to her neighbors in the Linden Houses as “Miss P,” spent years organizing her fellow residents to push for better housing conditions. She even took her fight to...

Progressive New York Democrat, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, fired back at President Donald Trump’s Truth Social rampage on Tuesday after the two traded barbs following Saturday night's U.S. strikes on Iran. "Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me - I’m just a silly girl," Ocasio-Cortez responded Tuesday after the president dubbed her "Stupid AOC." "Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war," she said. Ocasio-Cortez emerged as one of Trump's fiercest congressional critics after the U.S. attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran on...

Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the “dumbest” people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before. The reason for her “rantings” is all of the Victories that the U.S.A. has had under the Trump Administration. The Democrats aren’t used to WINNING, and she can’t stand the concept of our Country being successful again. When we examine her Test Scores, we will find out that she is NOT qualified for office but, nevertheless, far more qualified than Crockett, who is a seriously Low IQ individual,...

The House of Representatives shut down an impeachment effort against President Trump brought by Rep. Al Green (D-TX). The House tabled the measure in a 344-79 vote. 128 Democrats joined with the GOP to block the effort. Fox News reports: Liberals who joined Republicans include all three members of House Democratic leadership – House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, R-N.Y., House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., voted to table the measure. Green, who has threatened to impeach Trump before, said his latest bid is aimed at the president’s strikes on Iran from over...

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was not impressed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s sudden ability to keep his mouth shut about U.S. military plans. Newsmax host Todd Starnes offered his congratulations to Hegseth Saturday for pulling off sweeping strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities without giving up the game. “Not a single leak. Well done, @SecDef,” Starnes wrote in a post on X. The New York Democrat didn’t see that as quite the cause for celebration. “This is like applauding a grown man for being able to wipe their behind,” Cortez responded in a post on X. “Not exactly a vote of...

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman brushed aside far-left “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s clamoring to impeach President Trump over his Saturday strikes against three of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene launched a blistering assault on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez, castigating her as a “pathetic little hypocrite” for supporting U.S. military involvement in Ukraine under President Biden, only to suddenly posture as anti‑war today. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez (D‑NY) condemned President Trump’s decisive strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities as “clearly grounds for impeachment,” accusing him of a “grave violation” of constitutional war powers. AOC immediately took to the public stage, calling Trump’s actions “disastrous” and “impulsive,” warning they risked “ensnaring us for generations in a war.” She and other Democrats have begun floating articles of impeachment, claiming the president...

President Trump sending U.S. troops to bomb Iran without the consent of Congress is a blatant violation of our Constitution.

@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...

Bernie Sanders took his “Fighting the Oligarchy” tour back on the road this weekend, but there was one noticeable guest missing. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ name was nowhere to be found on the latest tour dates announced on social media Thursday by the socialist Vermont Senator. The lefty pair made headlines when they rallied across the country this spring, fueling rumors of a future presidential run by the Bronx/Queens Congresswoman. But it now looks like AOC might have to do without the private jets, at least for a little while. Rising lefty star and new Squad member Greg Casar (D-Texas) is touring...

Democrat politicians reached screeching levels of hypocrisy over Donald Trump's decision to act rather than wait for an Iranian nuclear weapon deployment. Chuck Schumer demanded action from Congress, as did Hakeem Jeffries. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez led calls for impeachment. Practically every Democrat on Capitol Hill -- with the notable exception of John Fetterman -- rushed to promote their "authoritarian" narrative about Trump. All of this venting reveals very short memories on the port side of Capitol Hill. Fourteen years ago, they couldn't get enough of presidential strikes on a nation in the very same region. Remember Hillary Clinton's chortling over the...
